Watched it and looking forward to patch and box

Just received my reproduction box from sgt vans boxes on facebook, very pleased

This is how he was packaged in 1976 which is why I needed the box

This is how it compares the Hasbros box

Thanks for checking in, just ordered better patches that are pre cut out, I can't seem to cut a perfect circle

 

[DEATHASYLUM]

Can't imagine it being easy cutting a perfect circle, so your not alone. Sounds like you got it covered with the pre-cut option

Dunno which one you ordered, but there are two kinds: solid or see through. These came with the see through version. Also, my experience is that most of those repro stickers have a tendency not to stick to well. What I do is cut a somewhat circular piece of double sided scotch tape and put them on it first. It sticks much better and the result is invisible.

I ordered the see through ones, thanks for the heads up on the tape trick
