Here are mine.
The box came with an ebay lot, it was pretty wrecked so I took it apart, dampened it, flattened it and reassembled. It's the second version with the sticker that was applied after complaints regarding the contents not representing the box illustration.

Gi Joe - really like the trousers!

I like the GI Joe Shore Patrol trousers as well. I have a pair but have not got a jacket to go with them yet.

Here's my slightly crowded display that I believe has all the accessories from the 1960s Sailor/Navy cards utilised. I don't want to move them now so I'll try and sort some detail shots in the future. All vintage with the exception of the rubber frogman suit which is 40th anniversary rubbish.

As a kid the only problem was once he had the life preserver on he could not shoot at anything in front of him with his rifle nor could he get both hands on the 50 cal.
Please dont focus on the frogman I am still in therapy over that outfit. Goes away muttering about wasted hours and numb hands.
