Continental Hobby is proud to offer this original vintage 1970 GI Joe 'Eight Ropes of Danger' Set #7422. The best part of all…the set is COMPLETE (with the exception of the original box). Rarely are these sets ever found complete if they are not already sealed in the original packaging, and even that is a rarity to find; especially after being offered over 40 years ago. Set contains: deep sea helmet, chest/brest plate, white diving suit with Adventure Team insignia, weighted belt, pair of boots, pair of boot weights, (2) 24" oxygen hoses, oxygen pump / compass, map, octopus, treasure chest, (4) coins (2-gold and 2-silver), adventure booklet, and instructions. A little history on this set: in the mid 1960's, Hasbro released the 'Deep Sea Diver' accessory set for the Action Sailor. In 1969, it was re-released as the 'Eight Ropes of Danger' with the addition of an octopus as part of the 'Adventures of GI Joe' line. In 1970, it was re-released in a fancy new window box as part of the 'Adventure Team' line. The copyright on this particular instruction sheet included in the auction shows 'copyright 1970' which indicates that this is the the new window box version. Set comes complete (with the exception of the box). Suit has some moisture staining and some of the inner lining flaking off (due to age), and the rest of the set is mint, including all accessories, comic book, and instruction sheet. This is a fabulous offering for a set sold over 40 years ago!
