#7628 Sailor Navy Basics Small Carded Set In 1964, the original GI Joe marketing plan was simple. Sell them
the doll...err...action figure :-) and then sell them plenty of
outfit/accessories to go with it. Seems simple today but it was unique in
the toys for boys market (but successfully implemented with Mattel's Barbie 5
years earlier) of the early 1960s. Each item is displayed where it could
easily be seen on a store shelf - each one sewn on a card and visible through
cello window or seal. This is one of the sets you could buy to compliment
your GI Joe soldier, sailor, marine, or pilot. This particular set
contains:
Tall Black Boots (with thin ridge)
White Soft Sailor's Cap
Dog Tag with Chain Marked "G.I. Joe® Hasbro®" (Only way to get this dogtag version is on
the 'basics' small cards)
