The first mail-away premium of the 25th Anniversary line has arrived!
Debuting in 1983, Carl “Doc” Greer immediately became a fan-favorite character. With key appearances in both the Marvel Comics series as well as the Sunbow animated cartoon, the khaki-clad medic became a staple in many GIJoe collections. It seemed only fitting when Hasbro announced that Doc would be the first mail-away figure of the line that commerated two-and-a-half decades of everyone’s favorite “Real American Heroes”.
