Description

A comprehensive collection of Hasbro G.I. Joe "Battle Corps" series action figures, each factory-sealed in its original blister pack. Produced during the early 1990s, this assortment represents the "A Real American Hero" and "Cobra… The Enemy" lines. The figures are constructed of poseable plastic in the traditional 3.75-inch scale. Each package includes a character-specific figure alongside a sprue of color-coded plastic weapons and specialized spring-action accessories, such as missile launchers and grappling hooks. The cardbacks feature vibrant character illustrations, detailed biographical "File Cards, " and manufacturing information for Hasbro, Inc. The collection includes a diverse roster of characters such as Duke, Cobra Commander, Major Bludd, Stalker, Lifeline, Mace, Backblast, Gristle, Law, Keel-Haul, Barricade, Muskrat, Outback, Snow Storm, Long Arm, Bullet-Proof, Ice Cream Soldier, Viper, and Cobra Eel. Markings on the reverse indicate copyright dates of 1992 and 1993, with countries of origin including China and Indonesia.

Condition: Items are in New Old Stock (NOS) condition, remaining factory-sealed in their original packaging. The clear plastic blister bubbles are generally well-preserved, clear, and securely attached to the cardstock backings. The cardstocks show minor signs of shelf wear consistent with age, including light corner softening and edge wear. Some cards feature original retail price stickers or handwritten inventory codes on the reverse. Figures and accessory sprues appear to be in mint, undisturbed condition.

Condition report:

The condition of the lot varies across the pieces. The orange rubberized diver suit shows significant material degradation, cracking, and crumbling typical of the age. Other figures exhibit general surface wear, minor staining to cloth uniforms, and some missing accessories or footwear; one figure is notably barefoot. The talking mechanism has not been tested and is sold as-is. The Madison Ltd. packaging shows shelf wear and card warping but remains factory sealed.
