Yeah they are a bit of a mess, but they display well because the rot was on the inside. The scuba suits are almost all garbage at this point. Really, Hasbro should have had the foresight to know we'd care 50 years later. In all fairness, I'm amazed the stuff has held up as well as it has.

You can strip out the dried rubber with a soak in Oxy Clean. I lucked out and found one nice one so far. Still soft like a balloon inside.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

Deep Sea Diver, hands down.
I coveted the "Eight Ropes of Danger" AT set as a youngster, but never got one. I ended up buying a vintage 60s Joe set in the early 90s, and then bought the modern sets (the Eight Ropes re-issue as well as the Diecast Timeless Collection set). Just an incredibly cool set.Comment

Last edited by Werewolf; Jan 18, '18, 3:24 PM.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Comment

although I certainly had plenty of the RAH figures, I really was always a 12" AT fan. it was just by the early 80's they could not be had anymore, at least short of tag sales, or flea markets, so I was tuck with the little Joe's like everyone else, and the few surviving 12" Joes I still hadComment
