Canada - 2003 G.I.Joe Packaging

Click for Close-Ups

Canadian laws require that most everything printed in Canada must be in both of the official languages - English and French. In 2003 Canadian toy stores began selling the G.I.Joe vs. Cobra Spy Troops figure packs in special Canadian-exclusive packaging in a method similar to that of the 2001 Canadian figures.

Pictured above is a Recondo vs. Iron Grenadier two-pack that was sold in Ontario, Canada in 2003. The bi-lingual filecards included inside were not printed on the cardbacks, but were instead printed in black/white on paper and included folded inside the packaging.

The figures themselves were exactly like the U.S. versions.
