When listed as Vintage GIJOE it means original from the 1960's and 70's . No reproductions or 40th anniversary issue unless stated. Grading of 50 year old toys is subjective to a degree and not an exact science. If... you don't agree with my grading then just return for a full refund.No need to leave angry feedback because no one is trying to mislead or make representations in a less than honest way. GIJOE's manufactured from 1964 to 1968 are notorious for having cracks on calves, thighs, knees and forearms as a result of poor factory mold injections and rivet insertion and not because of play wear .A GIJOE therefore can be considered mint or near mint and still have cracks. I'll disclose whenever I can but be prepared if I miss one here or there as its commonplace to find cracks. The better the original hair and eyebrow paint, the less playwear or any at all it endured. Veteran and serious collectors understand this, its always the guy paying $20 that expects a complete forensic analysis. Clothing is sometimes ironed for a superior effect and look.

I HAVE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION :
Vintage 1964 1st issue GIJOE Action Soldier Black/Negro figure stamped T.M. . Perfect hair and eyebrows with no rubs.These T.M. stamped figures were the first ones produced and more rare than the common (R) stamped version. You can see the the early production feet and hand. Despite the numerous cracks he stands upright.Some cracks have been bonded to hold arms and thighs in place. I put some tape around lower legs to keep feet in place. A rare piece nevertheless.
