Duke: "It's an honor to meet you, sir."

Cap: "The honor is all mine, Sargent. Director Fury tells me you and the other Joes do good work, now let's see if I can't do something to add to it."

Messing around.

This started out as an idea for what a FINDING DEE action figure would look like in the strip, and artistically, the further along I went, the crazier the mock-up packaging became. I am NO Hector Garrido, who did a huge chunk of that amazing G.I.Joe package art, but I tried to match the style as much as possible. 

If I get froggy, I might even try mocking up a BACK of the package eventually, and channel my inner Larry Hama with a psudo-file card. lol

The Bulletman, the Human Bullet action figure circa 1977. This is the British version of the G.I. Joe character, released two years after he originally appeared in the USA, and one year after Hasbro ended its original G.I. Joe line.

Palitoy was a British toy company (a subsidiary of General Mills) that licensed G.I. Joe from Hasbro for release in the United Kingdom. Palitoy rebranded the action figure line as Action Man, as G.I. Joe was a distinctly American term.

Palitoy's Action Man line for the most part originally just consisted of repackaged G.Joe figures and accessories. Around 1970 Palitoy began creating its own accessories with British themes, to distinguish Action Man from G.I. Joe.

Palitoy was the company that first introduced the flocked hair and rubber gripping hands to its Action Man figures. Hasbro liked these features so much that they added them to G.I. Joe as "life like" hair (it looked and felt like indoor/outdoor carpet) and "kung fu grip."
