Nope, but I know what it is. It was the GI Joe Stunt Spectacular figure. I believe it was a Disney exclusive. I didn't know they made an African-American version. Nice find!

No, I've never seen a black version of him before, but I've seen the regular white Indy version. Like grumpy said, I think you could only get it at the park. Interesting find! Thanks for sharing it.

Yeah it was a Disney park Exclusive. My wife got me one years ago at Disney World. I don’t remember if I saw an African American version before.

so im finally getting around to looking through all this old original 12" Joe's stuff my uncle handed down to me.
man is it tough trying to figure out what goes with what. he had 5 of the actual dolls, 2 of them "talking" ones...which are not functioning, and im pretty sure one of the ones he had is the actual original release of "action soldier" but sadly his arms are separated from the torso and no signs of being able to fix at least from what i can see....plus i dont think i have the original boots and/or hat. i definitely figured out that 1 of them is from 1964, 2 are from 1966 and 2 are from 1967 based on the trademark/logo markings on their butts (lol)
there were just so many variations of the original 12" Joe's, mutliple guys were released with multiple outfits, individual packs of accessories/clothes but then some had the same things. trying to piece all this together and figure out what came with what is just a nightmare, and to be honest...YoJoe isn't as good a resource for the OG line as you might think, this other site 3dvintagejoes has some good info but still not completely clear on stuff.
It's really cool to see all of this though and think that this is where it all started. I'm looking at this "space suit" and "space capsule" and thinking about how amazing it must have been back in the day to have those toys

OK boys....here we go I tried matching outfits to bodies...the one with the rubber band around him im pretty sure is an original "action solder". the trademark matches the one from 3dvintagejoes that says its from 1964, but i dont think i have the original boots and/or helmet. 2 of the remaining 4 im pretty sure are from 1966 and the other 2 are from 1967, those are the ones in the middle with the same outfits, but they are "talking" versions (neither is functioning but they have the speaker) Also the one with the cap still on his head is a talking soldier, with blonde hair and the "normal" head, soft. The one next to him appears to have one of the world/foreign soldier heads, with red hair and hard head. plus he's a talking version. The guy in the orange jump suit has a soft head as well. neither of the sogt heads are deflated, they are in pretty good shape. but all the stuff in the picture i cant figure out if it matches up with anything or not. plus my uncle had one of the original foot lockers, did those actually come with accessories? or just the tray and picture showing what is supposed to go in them? This is the deep sea diver set i think is complete, or mostly complete. The suit interior is all cracking and hard though, i think it was rubber these are some other outfits i pieced together using YoJoe but then again im not sure if some stuff goes with other sets More accessories and the space suit. He also had the space capsule, and im not sure if one of the above 5 figures came with it or not. The other stuff I tried to piece together with YoJoe, I think I narrowed them down and got it right from what i had. But I still feel like some of this stuff could have been interchangeable I haven't decided officially what I want to do with all of this stuff. Honestly I grew up in the 80's/90's and the 3 3/4" line is MY memories, I still have all of my figures, vehicles, etc all tucked away for the day when I can display them properly. However all this original stuff is pretty cool and historic in its own right. I started to look at values and price things out so I'm aware that some of this stuff is worth money. I definitely feel like I'm willing to part with most if not all of it. I was thinking I might want to keep the original '64 Action Soldier, even though he is broken...but considering its the one that started it all it's kind of cool to have. Might try to fix it one day, although I'm not sure its gonna be as easy as cracking a mattel torso haha Anyway, if there's any input on this stuff please post here or PM me

My brownish haired Joe came with fatigues, the green round cap and the brown rifle. The blonde one I have came with a dress marine uniform which may or not be the blue outfit with a red stripe in the third photo. It came with the white rifle and a white cap like a captain's cap. Separately, I got a tent which came with the shovel you have and I believe the 50 cal machine gun, ammo box, binocs and tripod. I do not think the pistols and short boots in the first photo goes with any of them, as far as I know. Mine had the high boots. I cannot help with anything else.

I cannot help with anything else. appreciate the reply that is a Marine outfit in the picture, the blue pants/red stripe, with cap, white rifle, shoes but the only blonde haired Joe I have is a talking version that should be from 1967 based on his backside trademarking. so unless there was a talking marine/dress variant thats not a figure & outfit combination that would go together those pistols i didnt think went with anything, they looked odd.in fact the one with the white handle is huge, metal and has like cowboy markings on the grip, i have no idea what it is haha. there was no tent, i think i saw pictures of that set and i was missing other stuff and the shovel has no head anyway so i think that broken shovel piece and backpack go with a separate set

I could only see a portion of the head of your blonde one. I did not have any talking ones. It would make sense that there was a back pack, but I did not have one. If I locate mine, I will post some pictures. It may be a while since we moved a few months ago and I cannot find anything right now.

I miss GI Joes, I don’t get it, like nowadays everything gets rereleased, or reinvented....why not Joes, I’d buy tons. I thought about buying some fort nite 3 3/4 figures, just because they are similar, but they are just to goofy

I thought about buying some fort nite 3 3/4 figures, just because they are similar, but they are just to goofy That’s so funny you say that because I started buying them simply because they kind of sort of fill the GI Joe void lol!!! Yes they are very child friendly! I kind of like them because the articulation is pretty damn good and being able to build the areas you can play them on is awesome I’d actually recommend buying a couple of the good ones to see if you like it that’s what I did I have 7 or 8 of them they’re really not that bad, I just think it’s hilarious that someone posted my exact thought ha
