Nice Joe review! I have a saved search on ebay for 'vintage GI Joe' and a seller had a 'Racoon-eyed', one slotted shoulder, beefy hands, baby feet, almost mint for $24.99 Buy it Now. Unbelievable price & one of my nicest in my collection. Man, you've got a Joe with the back melt mark? Holy Grail!
Uniform TM tags that have no country marked on them, they were made in Hong Kong in 1964 only. Tags that read made in Okinawa was used only when the Hong Kong and Japan Plants could not keep up 1964 - 1965.
If your talking about the painted head Joe's,sounds like you have a gummy head made with some of the early TM figures? They are very hard to find and are worth more than the other heads. It will be more squashy than the other type heads, softer than the soft heads. Good find.
The R figures, I don't see this happening much at all. But if its a TM figure this is fairly common. but the SOTW line are R figures. Unless Hasbro had TM stock left over.
Hello ! did someone can tell me if when I support slightly on the head of my GI Jo it sinks a little it seems a little soft plastic unlike any that I knows it means ' it say that it is one of the very first GI OJ. Please can you you help me

Uniform TM tags in the upper right corner were made from 1964 - 1965
Uniform (R) tags in the upper right corner were made from 1966 - 1973
Toys MUST work so showing how GI Joe's joints work is important to any perspective buyers.

does the slotted shoulders take a different elbow cant find elbows
As far as I recall the elbow has to be a single letter R or L only, to fit properly.
Yes they were!
I hope you have replaced the missing parts by now

Yes, Hasbro was good for using all their old stock.
