Description
GI Joe - Early Hand-Made Prototype with Unpainted Head (Hasbro, 1964). This very early hand-crafted articulated prototype closely resembles the final production model, and was one of the last prototypes before launching the full-fledged production of the line. The figure is distinguished by the rubber ball hip joints (made from the cores of a couple of golf balls!), the unpainted white head cast in plastic (but bearing the familiar features of every Joe ever produced), and the lead feet and hands. A significant piece in the development of the Joe line, this brought the Hasbro team very close to the finished product. Figure shows moderate wear, with some cracking in the chest piece, but that is to be expected from a "hand's-on" item, and is in excellent condition considering he is pushing forty.Auction Info
