It's GI Joe for sure. 21C never made a Jeep with front wheels changing angles. I do believe I have all the Hasbro, SOTW and 21C 1/6 Jeeps that were made.
Hasbro made a very decent Jeep. Their Ma Duece stinks but you can't have everything.
Great find for $10, especially with all the goodies.

If anyone knows the exact version I have, did it come with a driver, because I know for sure the driver that came with myne isnt original, because it was a tuskegee airmen pilot, If anyone can give me some info that would be great!!!

Sorry, I never keep Hasbro figures with the vehicles, they are sooo terrible I only use them in a crowd background or as a crew with "good" figures, and then I dump their clothes and redress them with 21C or DML uniforms and equipment.. Sorry I can't help.

Found this off a website, and this looks like mine!!!, {Quote}"A second version of the Hasbro Willy's jeep hit store shelves before Christmas 2002. This one was a KMart store exclusive and included everything listed above plus an exclusive WWII infantry soldier dressed in a uniform only available in this set. The uniform was similar to the Audie Murphy figure, but had more of a greenish tint and slightly wider grain to the fabric. The helmets were the same 3rd Infantry Division helmet."

G'day All
The Jeep that MMM has got is Hasbro's Ford GPW released about in 2002-3 or so, as I recall Hasbro chose to produce the Ford version to avoid paying the license fee being demanded by Chrysler/Jeep for their copyright of the grill at the time.
To avoid paying this same licensing fee on their Jeep "Soldier’s of the World" simply made it with only seven or eight grill slots instead of the correct number of nine. 21stCT must have payed the licence as their Jeep has the correct number of slots on theirs.
The Hasbro Ford GPW like their 1/6th scale HMMWV and Zodiac where always a hard find and unlike some other Hasbro 1/6th products these three are quite accurate true 1/6th scale products.
MMM you can count yourself very lucky in the fact that you've got one at all not to mention the bargain basement price you paid for it.

No my recollection is that it was not licensed to either Ford or Chrysler but used the early style grill and some other Ford GPW features to avoid the fees for the copyrighted grill, but they may have had to pay for the use of the word Jeep.

The Hasbro half-track is interesting because it was suposed to be early WW2 with the old French 75 (left over from WW1) mounted behind the big armor shields as an anti-tank gun. Quickly discarded as an anti-tank gun but Marines used it in the Pacific due to the small Japanese tanks and this version was given to the Ruskies as "Lend Lease".
As a 1/6 piece the half-track is WAY under size in the back open area of the half-track and the whole vehicle is too narrow.
Still commands high sale amounts on eBay.
BTW, sometime this year a few of our 1/6 small manufacturers are talking about making a very nice generic half-track for us to play with. The generic version can be made into any number of models of the White half-tracks. Looking for at least a few different models. I do love the White half-track....
