4077 Jeep Appraisal

Matchbox M*A*S*H 4077's Jeep (Star Car Collection)

This item is a Matchbox 'M*A*S*H Star Car Collection' toy vehicle, specifically identified as the 'M*A*S*H 4077's Jeep'. The item is housed in its original packaging, which is a rectangular cardboard box. The box design features a primary color scheme of yellow and olive green, with the prominent 'M*A*S*H' logo in a bold, stylized font with asterisks replacing the 'A's. Below this, it reads 'STAR CAR™ COLLECTION' and then 'M*A*S*H 4077's JEEP'. The Matchbox logo is clearly visible at the top center of the box, indicating the manufacturer. The background behind the 'M*A*S*H' title has a subtle camouflage or abstract pattern, likely referring to the military theme of the TV series. The edges of the box are a dark brown or black, creating a border for the main graphic. The packaging appears to be in excellent condition with no visible tears, creases, or major signs of wear, suggesting the internal toy is also likely in pristine, unplayed-with condition. The printing is clear and crisp, indicating good quality control during manufacturing. This collectible belongs to a series of vehicles inspired by popular culture, in this case, the iconic M*A*S*H television show, which ran from 1972 to 1983. Die-cast toys from this period, especially those in their original, unopened packaging, often hold significant value for collectors.
