As the 60's neared its end, America became more and more involved in a war abroad that was, to say the least, a bit unpopular with much of the American public.  To de-emphasize the military theme of the G.I. Joe line, Hasbro began reinventing G.I. Joe as an action adventurer.  As Joe moved into the 70's, his initial introduction had him still appearing in military style generic clothing but his accessories dealt with fighting wild animals, spying, among other "adventure" style activities.  Furthermore, Joe now sported a hair style that was more "life like" than just a painted head!  Adding to the 70's allure, Joe also now sported "Kung Fu Grip" hands!  This is one of the last boxed 12" figure in the original line to hit the store shelves (the next year would see carded versions).  This is the 1974 African American version - Extremely SCARCE Canadian Version!!  Interestingly, Joe no longer has a dog tag!!  Here's what came with the set:

• G.I. JOE  Action Figure with Life Like Hair and Kung Fu Grip Hands - African American
• Combat Boots, Short Black, Flat Bottoms (ORIGINAL!!)
• Pants (untagged), Tan
• Shirt (tagged "G.I. JOE  BY HASBRO HONG KONG"), Tan
• Insignia - no longer a military insignia but a red, circle "AT" - standing for Adventure Team!
• Rifle, Hunting Style (unmarked!)
• Paperwork - Join the Adventure Team; Special Instructions "Removal of Boots" (in English and French); Warranty (in English and French)
