This is an original 1964 Action Sailor. Not a 65 or 66. There are two ways I can tell. It has the hard smaller head and on the right butt cheek. it says Patent Pending. Or Pat Pending or some such. The later Joes have the patent number. Sadly it is necessary to check the butt of the Joe to tell if is original or reissue. As for the box it has no UPC symbol and is marked my in Japan or the Crown Colony of Hong Kong.
On the sides of the box are four of the Action Sailor sets for you to ask your parents to buy for you. This one also comes with the manual which is filled with more of the accessory sets plus how to use them. Also it shows how to use them and how to put them on your Action Sailor. Also there is a section on scenes to build for the Action Sailor.
Best of all perhaps is the sticker sheet. The manual shows where to put these stickers. I will be leaving these on the sheet though. I have plenty of repro stickers.
I think tomorrow it will be still yet another syrup tin.
Superb shape for the clothes to be in. My box on my orig. army Joe was in similar condition. The original owner probably played little with it, hence its amazing condition. Its a beaute !~
This is GREAT!! He's in superb condition and the original box makes it that much better!! Nice one!!
Thank you very much Phil. The box helps as does keeping him inside.
Thank you very much Scott. The box is about 2/3 of the value here.
