GI Joe 1964 #7704 MOC Marine
Communications Flags Set
Listing is for a GI Joe 1964 #7704 MOC Marine Communications Flags Set.
In 1964, the original GI Joe marketing plan was simple. Sell them
the doll...err...action figure :-) and then sell them plenty of
outfit/accessories to go with it. Seems simple today but it was
unique in the toys for boys market (but successfully implemented with
Mattel's Barbie 5 years earlier) of the early 1960s. Each item is
displayed where it could easily be seen on a store shelf - each one sewn
on a card and visible through cello window or seal. This flag was
including in one of the sets you could buy to compliment your GI Joe
soldier, sailor, marine, or pilot. Not sure why, but the flag set
was sold under the "Marine" division - although it contained flags from
all the services. This particular set contains:
Flags with Poles x5 Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, American (differs
from the Jeep flag in material)
