    Related to this, I also wondered why Hasbro didn't release an auburn colored(Sea Adventurer) without a beard.

    I see customs a lot, but never any verified vintage ones that I'm aware of.
    That's why I got the Gyper Man re-issue. I think he looks cool without the beard. Plus their muscle body is better than Hasbro's.

        He's terrific. I like the dynamic body's proportions, and EE is a great vintage feature.

        The uniform is crisp--what's the origin of the trousers?


        I like your SAS figure, too!

          I love seeing the real deal JOES where the collector has been not only smart, but smart for a long time, in acquiring pieces. I realized that for me, I waited too long to get into collecting to lay hands on much vintage stuff in nice condition, but....I have had an absolute blast doing the research and putting together a representative collection built largely on 40th and Timeless sets. That's been supplemented by vintage when I can and tied together with really nice 3rd party reproduction uniforms and parts. It's hard to believe, but even the 40th and Timeless stuff is coming up on 20 years old and really starting to creep up in price.
          My sentiments exactly, and I've built my collection in a similar manner. It's nice--but not always easy--to supplement new stuff with the occasional unique vintage part.

          And vintage can be surprisingly durable. My Action Man 40th tanker jacket totally disintigrated like most modern pleather.

            Thanks!

            The trousers are from a 40th Anniversary Marine (had an extra uniform available when I kitted out the Marine Jungle Fighter) so they lack the pocket on the left leg of the trousers that an Action Man Basic Soldier should have. They'll work as a placeholder until I can get the correct ones.
