The BoxThe box is a nice "window view" set-up, with everything pre-assembled inside. On one side of the box we get some nice art of the play-set in action, the bottom has the file cards, and the remaining sides show the item itself as well as the other playsets in this wave. The unfortunate thing about this set is the file cards are "cut-outs" rather then being included separately. Inside the box we get a nice diorama display that folds out to a pretty descent size. The weapons and accessories are taped to the underside of the box.
The OutpostThis set is a straight re-mold of the 1986 original, with the original "Hasbro 1986" logo still remaining. One main difference you will notice is that the sandbags are now white, instead of the original green. This set
fully disassembles. In addition to the sticker sheet and blue prints, you get G.I. Joe and Cobra stickers, an Arashikage tattoo, and diorama assembly instructions.
