I was digging through some boxes and found this little guy among a small collection of other prototypes. I don't remember his story at all. He has no o-ring and slightly different construction than vintage G.I. Joe figures. He's very fragile. Although unpainted, I don't believe he's a true production prototype.
I feel like maybe it was a promotional item given out circa 1997-2000, and I believe a couple of other characters may have also been available. But I could be totally wrong about that. Anyone else remember or have one of these? Last edited by Josh Z; 11-05-2022 at 03:24 PM.. |

Japanese Chocolate Model
"They were so named because the boxes were similar in shape to the boxes of chocolate bars. The packages included small model kits that produced miniature versions of GI Joe figures or vehicles. The figures were blind-boxed - you didn't know what you got until you opened it." https://www.yojoe.com/international/...ra%20Commander, |
