Hake’s Auction Rare, High Grade G.I. Joe Vehicles & Figures
Hake’s is continuing their trend of presenting top tier action figures, toy vehicles, and playsets in their current Auction #244. G.I. Joe toys are in one of their spotlight sections, featuring rare and highly sought vehicles and figures from the 1980s toy series.
The large, impressive G.I. Joe Hovercraft (Killer W.H.A.L.E.) Series 3 vehicle AFA 85 is leading the charge. Featured in both the G.I. Joe cartoon and comics, the Killer W.H.A.L.E. Hovercraft is one of the most coveted G.I. Joe vehicles. At the time of cataloging, only ten sealed examples have been graded by AFA with only one graded above AFA 85. This is the first time Hake’s has offered the piece in this high grade condition.
