    Rock 'N Roll - G.I. Joe

    In 1982 Hasbro released Series One of their G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero 3 3/4" action figure line, Rock 'N Roll was the team's machine gunner and one of my favorite figures of that original series as a kid. The thought of making a Mego version of Rock 'N Roll didn't take shape until 8 Inch Super Store was selling bearded and clean shaven Action Jackson heads a couple of years ago. I saw the blonde bearded head and I instantly thought of Rock 'N Roll.

    ROCK 'N ROLL:

    HEAD - Bearded blonde AJ head from 8 Inch Super Store.
    BODY - Doc Swivel Bicep
    FATIGUES - Tailored by me, sewn together by my wife.
    BOOTS - CTVT with my paints.
    AMMO BELTS - Magnificent Team figures with my paints.
    BELT - Magnificent Team figure (same one that donated one of the ammo belts).
    M-60 - 21st Century Toys 1/6 scale weapon.
    HELMET - EMCE/Diamond Steve Rogers costume from the original Captain America set.
    BOX - Designed and assembled by me.

    As always I thank you all for stopping by and giving him a look.

    Yo Joe!!!

      I think you need to talk to the guys that do the GI Joe shows and see if you can do some convention exclusives cause these are SPOT ON!!! Very nice. Wish I was into the series...because these would be in my Mego Collection. Keep up the FANTASTIC work.
