1976 Canadian Releases
Just as GI Joe was wrapping up its run in the US, Hasbro Canada worked with some of the European licensees to create joint releases that shared contents and the packaging style with the German Action Team line by Schildkrot. These sets are based on ones released earlier in the UK by Palitoy. There are a few differences between the Canadian and European sets, first and foremost being that these uniforms are tagged "GI Joe by Hasbro / Hong Kong" on nylon tags. The 1976 Mountie is the most common of these four sets, the others can be difficult to locate, even in the Great White North.
