Any new Joes?

[Makernaut]

I did much of the same and Vintage 3D Joes is a superb resource. I used an Action Man 40th Aussie set (minus carefully removed patches) as the basis for my Mouth of Doom, and added a vintage snare from Devil of the Deep as an accessory in place of the raft & pole.

Vintage Aquanaut is impressive.

Indeed! Can't say enough good things about Vintage 3D Joes. I sometimes just pull up the site when I am bored because it's organized so well and interesting to read.

^ those look great! I love the 1969 sets, they are my favorites.

Thanks! I love how well the line bridged the gap from Military to Adventure Team and the boxes are so darned visually appealing.

Just got a Land Adventurer (1970-1973, hard hands) off of eBay. That's going to be the last Joe for me as I have almost all of the basic figures from the Military line, the Talkers, 1969, and the two Adventure Team incarnations. I just need to get a few reproduction boxes now and I should be able to tie it all together for my collection (or at least as far as I ever planned to take it).

Finally got the boxes for the Talkers and 1970 AT. The figures are fixed up versions of the 70-73 hard hands AT. Uniforms and pieces are a mix of original and 40th Anniversary along with some bits from Cotswold Collectibles.

Thank You! Feels good to be wrapping all of this up.

I had also picked up dedicated figures to kit out as MPs, Air Security, and Shore Patrol. It's a mix of original, Timeless, and 40th. The Air Security helmet came from Cotswold. One of these days, I may horizontal stripe the helmet as it should look.

Looks good! Not sure why they didn't stripe the AS helmet. I've had a few AS sets in the past, and have two now, but man it's a hard set to find.

^ It's a puzzler that they didn't, but I figure I'll get some white graphic tape to make it right.

Anyone score an interesting pickup or hit a collecting milestone, lately?

I think the last Joe stuff I picked up was a few months ago and was some muscle body Joes/parts.

I've think I realized I have more stuff in boxes than on display, so adding more is making me sad...

Sadly, no. I want a Landing Signal Officer and Tank Commander jacket but only search intermittently.

Oh shoot, I remember I was going to look though my stuff for an LSO set. I'll make a note to look.

I've been keep a lookout for any but in the last couple months I've only found a couple over priced AT guys in 2 different local shops.

No worries, Doc.

Picked up a nice blonde man of action, he's dressed in 40th outfit and gear but I'll find him something vintage soon hopefully.
