Rarity & Significance
Common but highly desirable. Considered a 'cornerstone' vehicle for early G.I. Joe collectors due to its massive troop-carrying capacity. It represents the height of the 1980s military toy boom.
Special Features
Includes the original hard-plastic camouflage canopy. Features a storage compartment in the rear and an 'amphibious' hull design (though not intended for actual water buoyancy).
Notable Variations
There are minor differences in the olive drab plastic shade between early and late production runs. The most notable variant is the 'Night Force' APC (1989), which was released in a black and dark teal color scheme as a Toys 'R' Us exclusive.
