G.I. Joe Airborne Military Police Collector's Edition Hasbro 1996 #27717 NRFB

The Military Police Corps is a separate but vital branch of the United States Army. The 'MP' soldier acts as a disciplinary force who performs the duties of a civilian police officer within the Army. But when called upon for special duty, the MP soldier is ready to perform a number of combat-ready functions, form the front-line infantryman to Army paratrooper.

During World War II, MP soldiers were trained as a highly specialized unit within the U.S. Army's Airborne Division. The Airborne was a select group of brave men who jumped from planes to engage the enemy at strategic battlefield positions. It was hazardous duty, but one that proved extremely effective by utilizing the element of surprise throughout WWII.

Celebrate the courageous spirit of the Airborne MP soldiers and the 'double duty' roles they performed for one of the most high-risk divisions within the U.S. Army. This fully poseable, 12" tall figure comes outfitted with an authentically styled uniform emblazoned with the trademark paratrooper's symbol: an open parachute centered between two eagle-like wings designed in 1941 and still worn by today's paratroopers.

This special collector's edition G.I. Joe® also features an MP arm band, belt with holster and pistol, machine gun, billy club, jump boots, and a communication's backpack with extendible phone.
