His gold-color crash helmet displays / the G.I. Joe(R) name. He wears an authentically / detailed orange flight suit. a protective green / G suit, and an overvest with patch pockets. / Dog tags and a small scar on the side of / his face are additional proof of his identity / as G.I. Joe(R). / Sculpted by / Ken Crow / For decorative use only. Not for young children. / Concue a des fins decoratives seulement. / Ne convient pas aux jeunes enfants. / Handcrafted - Dated 2001
