[Labels] GI Joe set

Here is what I got for the labels. Some are warped/bent, and would not lay flat. Most have a discolor to them.


This is for the train set. From what I could tell the Cobra labels are the same with a white background. The US-1 Joe labels are on a black background.



The Cobra labels are correct for everything but the Jeep, it uses a larger label as seen in the train sheet.
The two stars are for the missile. The longer Joe label is for the heli and the missile, the medium is for the trailer, boat, and tank, the smallest is for the Jeep.



These are for the missile also.



These are for the edges of the launch base, the widest/longest one I’m not sure what it’s for. The two smallest ones seemed to be on the base where it attached to the turn out. It seems the others were in pairs to have a spare, maybe…





That long one is for one side of the launch base also, it was bent bad and I couldn’t get it to lay flat. Afraid I was going to rip it.



I don’t know where these Authorized Personnel ones went.



The circular one is also on a slant.






These last four are off the box. The best I could tell, there are 40 labels for the set. Plus the authorized personnel that I couldn’t see from the box art. Then there are 24 dots used for the parachutes. Each used 6.

Wow! You did a lot of work here. These will defiantly get used to replace the lost ones of mine. I will try to build a sticker sheet that everyone can use.

How did G.I. Joe go from the big original to those teeny little figures?
I bought a bunch of big gray plastic pieces at garage sale years ago for five bucks. I had no idea what they were but it said G.I.Joe on one piece and figured it had to be worth something, good plasic anyway.. I took it home and called a guy I knew from the flea markets that collected G.I. Joe and he came over to check it out. I flipped out when he put all the pieces together and it was a huge G.I Joe aircraft carrier. He gave me 75 bucks for it.

I wasn’t too happy with the pics. I wasn’t sure how many labels were actually in this set. I know this set pops up fairly regularly, but is seldom complete. I can’t remember ever seeing an unused label sheet. I want to use a sheet of 1/4” square graph paper so it will make the sizing easier for them, and you. I think the 3475 instructions also show where some labels go. I know I told you I would post them, then like a week went by already.

I’ve seen that Carrier, I think now that thing is worth $5-600, if not more.

I know they did the 12” figures in the 60’s, I think the 3” came out in ‘82 or ‘83. Tyco of course got a license from Kenner to use the IP, like with the Stompers, cause they seen the money. All of the figures and vehicles are blow molded plastic. They look terrible, lol. I have one figure that has no arms or legs, I named him SP5 Stump. His team leader is CPL Punishment, and his platoon sergeant is SFC Major. His sergeant major is CSM Richard “Dick” Head.
