    My G.I Joe from childhood

    A while back, i posted a pic of some of my childhood action figures. Since then, i came across the original box for my G. I. Joe so i thought i'd post an updated shot of him. Still looking for some dog tags for him .

          Yes, he did but i took very good care of my toys. I must have changed him out of his original uniform fairly quickly though and that's why it stayed in such good shape. I think he mostly wore the custom outfit my mom made for him (below). I had some pants to match . When i dug him out of the shed, he was wearing that and he also had a mismatched right foot . Somewhere along the line i got a replacement foot but it was the smaller one that comes on the older GI Joes i think. I need to find a correct replacement. I also had to clean up his face a little, it was a little dirty.

            Here, i'll prove that i played with him . Sorry about the pic quality, i had to crop and blow this one up to even get this close to showing GI Joe. With the picture i posted above i think you will be able to make the connection anyway...... he has his cool 70's custom outfit on. Sadly, this is the only pic i've come across so far that has GI Joe in it.
