Description: PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION LOT IS FOR A SELDOM SEEN #7800 ACTION PILOT VARIANT......" FOLD TOP CONSTRUCTION " LID I HAVE HAD A FEW OF THESE VARIANT BOXES OVER THE YEARS, HOWEVER MOST HAVE BEEN #7500 ACTION SOLDIERS I HAVE SEEN SOME WITH LATE ISSUE LARGE HEAD PATENT NUMBER FIGURES, BUT THE MAJORITY I HAVE SEEN ARE PATENT PENDING HARD HEAD FIGURES . MY GUESS IS AT SOME POINT HASBRO EXPERIMENTED WITH A MORE SIMPLER/FASTER/CHEAPER BOX LID CONSTRUCTION ...... IT WAS LIKELY ONLY A BRIEF RUN, I AM GOING TO DATE THESE IN MY OPINION - LATE 1966. FOR WHATEVER THE REASON , HASBRO CHOSE NOT TO PRODUCE THIS STYLE BOX MUCH FURTHER THEN LATE 1966 IF YOU SEE HOW THE LID IS CONSTRUCTED AND FOLDED, YOU END UP WITH 4 " TABS " ON THE INSIDE OF THE LID.... ALMOST ALL I HAVE SEEN , THE TABS ARE DAMAGED OR DINGED BADLY, UNDERSTANDABLY FROM THE KID OPENING AND CLOSING THE BOX........ PERHAPS THIS WAS ONE OF THE REASONS IT WAS NOT USED FURTHER.......BUT LIKELY CAME DOWN TO COST.... EITHER WAY WE ARE LEFT WITH A COOL/QUIRKY VARIANT TO CHASE DOWN.... THE BOX ITSELF PRESENTS VERY WELL, SHOWING MINOR WEAR HERE AND THERE.....STUDY/BLOW UP ON MY DETAILED PHOTOS.....STILL BETTER THAN MOST YOU WILL ENCOUNTER IMO THE FIGURE IS BLACK HAIR / HARD HEAD..... SUPER CLEAN HEAD SHOWING NO REAL WEAR TO NOTE, NO TOUCH UPS BODY I BELIEVE JUST HAS A COUPLE OF MINOR STRESS CRACKS AS SHOWN... PATENT PENDING AS MENTIONED ORIGINAL STRINGING - CAN STAND ON HIS OWN, BUT NOT VERY TIGHT......HE WOULD BENEFIT FROM A TIGHTENING OF THE EXISTING STRINGING , OR A RE-STRING ALL TOGETHER. OUTFIT IS HASBRO JAPAN, C7. MINOR STITCH SPLIT ON THE BOTTOM OF ONE PANT LEG.... TALL BLACK BOOTS, NICE NO DAMAGE #12 MOLD BLUE CAP SUPER NICE ORIGINAL DOG TAG/CHAIN SUPER CLEAN RR AIR MANUAL, UNWRITTEN IN SUPER CLEAN UNUSED JOIN THE CLUB FORM - CORRECT VERSION FOR COFFIN BOX NO STICKERS WERE FOUND INSIDE......
