Packaged Boxed Sets Inserts

[lookforjoe]

I’ve been working on inserts for my various boxed vintage Joe stuff. So far I have made the inserts for the Sea Wolf, which I can assume are fairly accurate as the box dimensions & contents match the UK release.

Cant get the img tags right in my phone - attachment option only works for ONE pic per post for me






for my Training Center, I have no clue and simply went off reference pics of the UK release. This is where I’m at with that one. It can’t be correct however, as my cave will not fit with these insert compartments. Anyone on here have a real McCoy? 3D Joes doesn’t have pics of inner packing . I haven’t dismantled one of my three towers to repack yet. I’m also missing the snake for this particular set to be complete .

I would love to see the inserts for the Secret of the mummy's tomb set...There's only 2, the one the car sits on and the smaller square that fits in the driver's compartment...I use to have a pic of the training tower showing the inserts and how it was packed, but can't find it...

Sorry but no pics showing up for me here lookforjoe...

Something wrong with Postimage.org. I’ll have to fix the address.

I had to revise the layout as nothing would fit using the ActionMan box layout. Looking at that one more closely, the box is larger but shallower than Joe version

This is where I’m at now - some stuff has to go under the cave or it just won’t all fit

Another Set I made inserts for was the AM Dragon Island

...And the Space Speeder, which was based off the GI Joe Sea Sled. I found some pics of the sea sled packaging, so used that as a guide, adjusted for the AM box

...and the AM Assault Craft

I have a bunch of ATV’s and Trouble Shooters - but no box, so I have no way to figure that one out it’s a shame no one seems to have documented the packaging to the extent the figures and sets are.

Here are some photos I saved from online showing how the mummy's tomb set was originally boxed and the inserts used...Don't know if this helps you or not.....I don't know where these photos came from, I've had them for a couple years...So if they belong to anyone, let me know...

Nice!

I saved these because I was always curious how they packaged everything in this set...what the inserts looked like...I think this set sold online or something, I wish I had had a chance at it...

That’s perfect- I could easily make those inserts. I’d need someone with the box to measure the inside dimensions- width (breadth) height and depth. Looks like there is an end cap that goes in after the sleeves. I’d have to guesstimate depth on that, based on other info. I can use my atvs to determine all the inner seating dimensions for the toy. I can draw up templates to share here if someone can provide the necessary INSIDE Box dimensions

This is the end cap, I guess that's what held the figure, mummy case, and accessories/comic...I wish all my stuff wasn't in storage, I could measure one of my boxes...

Rearranging the contents again - got it better situated now. Cave is flat in the area, so no chance of flex/cracking the styrofoam now.

Vintagefan70 -can't figure out how to reply to your comment - do you know what that large lid / insert is for in the front center of the last pic? What stops the contents of the accessory box from falling out?

Hi...That should be the end cap...If you look at the first pic I posted, where the mummy's tomb box has just been opened, that's what it looks like...I am assuming there was some kind of lid for it, which is how everything was kept in place in the accessory box...Either that, or, originally all the accessories were sealed in a bag, which would keep them from sliding all over the inside of the main box...

Nice work!
