One of a kind ''Action Soldier'' G.I. Joe prototype from 1964, with original hair flocking. This is one of only a handful of original prototypes personally designed by G.I. Joe creator Donald Levine for Hasbro in 1964. Hard plastic prototype features bearded soldier wearing removable burnt orange flight suit, which zippers from the waist to neck and contains ''G.I. Joe / By Hasbro / Hong Kong'' written on the label. A four pocket green military coat with three snaps covers the flight suit, and the soldier wears brown mock lace up combat boots. To the inside label of the military jacket reads: ''G.I. Joe / By Hasbro / Japan''. Embossed to the figure's backside is the original copyright from 1964. Measures 11'' tall. One snap missing on green jacket, and minor soiling to the flight suit. Very good. From the estate of G.I. Joe creator Donald Levine and with a COA from his widow.
