Hasbro Schematics/Concept Paperwork Scans

**dmooretoys** · 12-31-2004

For the archives--these scans are of Hasbro concept paperwork from the early 80s and some of these vehicles were not even produced. The person I bought these from told me that 50 portfolios (each containing these 8 sheets) were given out to collectors at a "round table" discussion at the 2004 G.I. Joe Convention. Since I wasn't able to attend the con I can't confirm this, but if anyone can please let me know. I am sure some of you have seen some of these pages before, as I seem to remember some of them pictured in Lee's Toy Review in an interview with Darryl DePriest (I think). Anyway, here are the scans:

First, a pic of the portfolio:

Now, the pages themselves (I numbered them but I guess there is no particular order):

http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/dmoore...5d.jpg&.src=ph
http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/dmoore...23.jpg&.src=ph
http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/dmoore...6a.jpg&.src=ph
http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/dmoore...80.jpg&.src=ph
http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/dmoore...9d.jpg&.src=ph
http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/dmoore...74.jpg&.src=ph

That's it--let me know what you think and if anyone was there when these were given out please let us know.

I never saw those but Disney was too much of a distraction for me. I would have loved to score one of those.

I got the ish of Lee's you refer to, but there's stuff in here not covered in the mag. This is a critically awesome find! Right up there with Pete's original first draft filecard info! Excellent job.

Also, I hope when they're reprinted on the archives, we'll be able to read the small-print text. Thanks!

When Jeff gets ready to add them maybe he can contact me and we can work it out so the pics are bigger and have better resolution.

Guys, I sent some hopefully better scans to Jeff so you might actually be able to read them when he adds them--keep watching for his "update" post....

Holy cow, I'm mentioned in a thread! I hit the big time, baby!

I'll echo PJ's sentiment, Dan. Those prints are beautiful! What a terrific item to have in your collection. I didn't pay much attention to the convention and didn't know it had this type of item. I really need to keep a look-out for these.

How cool it that H.I.S.S. drawing!!! All of them are stunning, really.
