G.I.Joe Black Adventure Team Member. I purchased this action figure at an antiques store a few years ago. It is missing it's decals that were usually affixed to it's uniform / outfit and it's original Adventure Team dog tags. The dog tag it has on now is a reproduction dog tag from the original G.I. Joe series of action figures that I purchased online shortly after purchasing the figure itself. When I was a young lad I had perhaps five or six different G.I. Joes but, those are long gone now. Gone but not forgotten. Owning G.I. Joes now that I'm advanced in age allows me to recapture a small bit of my childhood memories and lets me remember the times of my youth that were, for the most part, care free.
Love this action figure. What do you think he is worth?
In all honesty, whatever someone is willing to pay for it. The body of the figure is in pretty good shape with only two minor stress cracks (as far as I can remember) and it is missing it's original box, weapons, decals for the clothing and original dog tag ( I added a repro vintage one after I purchased it from an antiques store in my area ), so it's in no way "perfect", but I like it nonetheless because it reminds me of one that I had when I was a lot younger. Thanks for asking.
Collecting GI Joe 12" figures is where my collecting began. Not only did I recapture my childhood GI Joe collection I went a bit past that. OK way past that.
Quickie value guess is $50.
