Packaging
The window-box packaging used for the first couple of years was intended to reflect the 60's G I Joe packaging style, including the wood grain background and the excellent graphic representations of the enclosed soldier. Carded accessory sets were also offered, also reflecting the 60's woodgrain packaging graphics. Special edition figures were also released through the Hasbro-authorized G I Joe Collectors Club, and through a number of retail stores, FAO Schwartz being the most exclusive (and expensive) offerings, such as the F15E Fighter Pilot, which retailed for $135 USD at the time of release.
