G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero – Hardball (1988)
Hasbro | 1988 | Mint on Sealed Card | Encased in ToySack MagnaSlab Protective Case

Batter up! Hardball is stepping up to the plate with his multi-shot grenade launcher, ready to clear the field of Cobra forces. Released in 1988, Hardball brought a unique flair to the G.I. Joe ranks—merging America’s pastime with hard-hitting military action. A former baseball player turned grenade-slinging specialist, Hardball’s figure is instantly recognizable for his athletic-inspired design, blue cap, and high-explosive armament.

Unlike most of his peers, Hardball’s backstory offered a civilian-to-soldier arc, emphasizing the transition from sports to combat—a rare storytelling move in the ARAH line. Armed with a powerful 40mm grenade launcher and tactical backpack, he wasn’t just for show. His specialty in suppressive fire made him a key support member during jungle warfare and close-quarters battle, especially in Marvel Comics’ lesser-known missions.

This rare vintage figure is preserved Mint on Sealed Card (MOSC) and comes housed in a premium ToySack MagnaSlab acrylic case, engineered for ultimate display and protection. The case features a 4.5mm thick clear acrylic build, curved single front panel, slide-in card rail system, and a secure magnetic Magna-Lock—combining function and flair for the serious collector.
