Rarity & Significance
Common as a part, but highly significant. The M.O.B.A.T. was the flagship vehicle of the 1982 G.I. Joe launch, modeled after the MBT-70. While complete, working tanks are high-value collector items, individual body shells are common 'fodder' for restorers.
Special Features
Includes original 1980s factory/user-applied decals and textured 'anti-slip' surfaces molded into the plastic hull.
Notable Variations
The 1982 version is distinguished by its darker olive drab plastic versus the lighter tan/beige of the 1998 'Real & Secret' reissue or the 2008 25th Anniversary version.
