G.I. Joe Battlefield Accessories Forward Observer 1
The G.I. Joe Forward Observer Battlefield Accessory. Complete and restored with new decals.
The set was first released in 1985 with the fourth wave of the collection.
I didn't have any of the '85 Battlefield Accessories.
This set cost me forty bucks. Twenty five of that forty was the antenna. I do have the two stands, but neglected to include them. I had set them aside because they didn't get decals and forgot to set them up with the rest of the set.
I can't say why I never got this. The Forward Observer is an awesome little recon set. It is right up my ally. I'd like to think that there was just so much cool stuff to want by this point that I never got around to even looking at it. I don't think the set needs the mortar. I guess Hasbro felt the need to put an offensive component into every set? Maybe the mortar is for a small list of opportunity targets. I like the idea of Spirit, Recondo, or Gung-Ho (he was Force Recon ya know) all clandestine in the tent observing with the spotter's scope and relaying the info back to Joe command.
