1983 Hasbro GI Jow Clutch Bagged Red Card CAS 90

The 1983 Hasbro G.I. Joe Clutch (v1.5)—graded CAS 90, bagged with Red Card, and part of Series 1.5—is a Direct Mail-away version of the VAMP driver, and it’s a beauty.

Here’s what makes him a standout:

• 🔧 Swivel-arm upgrade over the 1982 straight-arm version, exclusive to the 1983 mail-away program.

• 📦 Factory-sealed baggie with “Not For Resale” and age sticker—often overlooked but key for provenance.

• 🟥 Red Back file card included in mail-away sets, highly sought after for its unique layout and Hasbro Direct pedigree.

• 🧢 Comes with his signature green helmet, and typically paired with the VAMP Mk I jeep—a classic combo.

• This figure bridges the transition from retail to direct-to-consumer collecting, and a CAS 90 grade puts it in the upper echelon of archival condition. Want help designing a display that mimics a Hasbro Direct mailer box or showcases the Red Card lineage? I’ve got ideas that’ll make him roll out in style.
