One of a kind ''Action Man'' prototype from 1966, with original hair flocking. The manufacture of this figurine was personally overseen by G.I. Joe creator Donald Levine in 1966 for Palitoy, the British distributor for the Hasbro toy company at that time. Included is the original picture booklet from the ''Action Man'' series, which was the British version of the popular ''G.I. Joe'' series. The booklet contains pictures of the entire ''Action Man'' action figure series from 1966. The prototype wears removable black combat boots and is clothed in an olive green sweater with matching cargo pants with a removable khaki colored belt. A small lever to the back of the neck allows the figure's blue eyes to move from side to side. A copyright is written to the prototype's back which reads: ''Made in England by Palitoy / Under license from Hasbro / 1964''. Measures 11'' tall. Small stains to the chest of the sweater. Very good. From the estate of G.I. Joe creator Donald Levine and with a COA from his widow.
