Hasbro was pretty adept at marketing the G.I. Joe line to kids as evidenced by this 1974 newsletter sent to members of "The Adventure Team". For a $1.50 you got all kinds of cool swag plus this newsletter, which was filled with stories and a pile of material lifted from the Hasbro catalog.



Seeing this stuff blows my mind and makes me wish I wasn't so darn lazy as a child. This newsletter (complete with letter from Commander Mike Triumph) is a wonderful window into a time when Kung Fu Grip was king...

Also be sure to stick around this weekend for a vintage visit with a cylon and the worst colouring book I've ever seen.

I love the GIJoe AT. I have that headquarters proudly displayed in my toyroom. Even though I have mixed series of GIJoes, they are ALL Adventure Team to me.

That newsletter is so cool. I used to try to bid on the ones on Ebay, but have stopped trying.
