Note: the corners of the cards are sharp/rectangle. NOT rounded like the retail versions.
Nothing too spectacular for anyone who has no interest in prepro stuff. But they're very exciting for me because I remember seeing a POC CC proof card in a Hasbro display con photo and saying to myself... "I must have one!!" And alas, I was offered the entire POC first wave proof cards. I personally haven't seen a lot of ME proof cards. I know there's some out there... I've just never come across any until now. These are the ones I kept for myself. I split the goods with someone else (I'm sure they'll post pics when they get em). Sorry for the poor photos I had to use my iphone because my USB cord is all jacked up. Hopefully in a couple weeks I'll have something in-hand that we've all kinda been waiting for. Fingers crossed. It may actually hit ebay first, but we'll see. If you dig this kind of stuff, and you are on Facebook... search for the group GI JOE PROTOTYPE COLLECTORS. It's a GI JOE preproduction collectors/appreciation page on Facebook started by Kokomo Toys. Feel free to add any prepro stuff you have or simply check out some of the stuff posted that's up there. Expect regular updates from myself and Kokomo as well as some other people.

Great stuff! These are especially nice because the card art continues behind the bubble.

Nice bro, I've never seen proof cards with the bubble attached.
Your collection can now show the complete evolution of toy line. Last edited by Beckley; 09-02-2010 at 11:17 PM.. |

I think they're more appropriately 'presentation' proof cards. I mean like I said if you look at some con photos of Hasbro displays some of them have these behind the figure so you can see the card and the figure but not combined.

So awesome, very clean looking. I personally believe the art work/packaging is just as important as the figures. Would love to see/have some 25th proofs also.

this the closest I've seen to something like that are the ones they were selling/giving away? at SDCC I think... the big long uncut poster-esque things with the PDD "proofs"... some people on ebay have had them framed or whatever.

yeah, I got one downstairs but from what I remember its like reprinted paper quality, not actual cardboard backings. Still cool but not the real thing.
