Army GEAR

[remember]

Army GEAR was a neat and short-lived toy line produced by Galoob in 1988 that combined the ideas of a small playset with military toys. Each play set consisted of an actual army item (such as an M-16, compass, or canteen) and would open up to feature a warzone play set with accompanying soldiers and vehicles. The largest set folded into an aircraft carrier.There were fifteen different sets in the Army Gear range:An Auto Pistol with Missile Staging BaseWatch with a Missile PostBinoculars with Laser Tracking StationCanteen with Aircraft CarrierWalkie Talkie with Drone Launching BaseCombat Medals with Assault VehiclesCombat Ready Accessory SetSearchlight and Air Defense StationCombat TroopsCompass and Satellite StationPistol and Missile SiloGrenade and BunkerMachette and Observation PostM-16 and Weapons ArsenalThe Army GEAR boxes looked like real wooden boxes thanks to the clever packaging and you could lift the flap at the front of the box to peek inside.
