Now this IS a blast from the past. Ten-year-old me had one of these “G.I.Joes with lifelike hair”. It was truth in advertising, as he started going BALD after a year or so! I never got these “adventure packs”…but I DID get a few extra (and unlicensed) UNIFORM packs from the local drug store. As you said, the public's anti war sentiment in the early ‘70s turned Hasbro’s “Joe” into a generic adventurer…but dressing him in these unlicensed-and-unauthorized uniforms (probably from Hong Kong) turned him back into a SOLDIER!
Top three playsets of my childhood: greyskull, Death Star and gi joe mummy’s tomb
Had the Joe set with the mummy, I thought it was a child mummy. I liked the antiquing color as that was rarely done then.
But what if, now bear with me, what if it was an Alien Mummy 🛸
@@PdxToycollective even better !!

Its tough to find these guys without a little bit of balding!
Adventure Team Classified. I dare you, Hasbro!
They aren't brave enough to give the fans Kung Fu Grip!!!
No they’ll give us Karate Grip and call it Kung Fu Grip to get back at Jackie Chan.
