GI Joe - First Dressed Prototype / Air Force (H
GI Joe - First Dressed Prototype / Air Force (Hasbro, 1965). Just about ready for the children of the world, this dressed Air Force prototype is nearly identical to the final production run, including orange jumpsuit, boots and blue fatigue cap. The figure has the larger "soft" head, and the small feet and hands, and shows average wear; there are no cracks at the knees, and the black hair is nearly perfect, with very minor eyebrow rubs. The jumpsuit and dog tag are C9, but the boots are an aftermarket replacement, and not produced by Hasbro. Most interestingly, the blue plastic fatigue cap lacks the embossed numeral on the inside of the hat, marking this as a very early prototype. One of the most popular and certainly collectible of the four services, this Air Force Joe is ready for new orders transferring him to your collection. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
