I was wondering if any of our american members could help with giving me the background to the 1967 G.I Joe action doctor outfit.

I won this outfit today and apart from a picture in James Desimone's book im having trouble finding out any details about it.

This is the outfit ive won which i will be restoring.

Many thanks

Chris

A great score. very rare outfit. Hopefully it will clean up well. Have only ever seen one for sale besides the one in desimones book which only shows one side. I haven't seen the backside with poppers before. is the one you won tagged?

I havent recieved it yet Mikey hopefully should be with me sometime next week.

Hoping its tagged as it might give me some ideas of its background as apart from desimones book which i have i cannot find any reference to it on the internet.

Well the mystery deepens.

Ive managed to find out some rumours about it.

Firstly that the outfit was a flier premium mail in set with the flier coming with the G.I joe Nurse set but this seems to be have been debunked.

Secondly its a prototype that was never released again there is no confirmation available of this.

Seems american joe collectors think this is the german action team medic but that is the same as the vam version and does not have poppers.

Really hoping its tagged hasbro G.I joe
