      My Joes were not with the Cotswold kit. I picked up some stretchy elastic from Walmart and followed these instructions. Very minimal cost wise and honestly went really fast and quick.

          ^I've always admired that set. It, and the Sea Wolf, are on my radar because I like aquatic-themed toys.

            I just picked up a Joe footlocker with a SOTW head talking Marine and a 1969 Adventurer. The Adventurer was missing his brown shoulder holster and I put an extra black on on him until I can locate a brown one. If anyone has an extra brown shoulder holster I'm interested.

                Nice pick up! There are those collectors who specialize in the '69 set.

                    Wow! Good score, drquest!

                    The 1969 line has been a focus for me this year. I think it is an interesting line because it's where you can see GI JOE transitioning to his civilian gig....The Adventure Team.

                      I really like the red top box 1969 sets. I luckily have all of the figures in their coffin boxes.

                      These below are the among toughest to find.. The AA tagged box, and the alternate uniform AA figure as well.



                      In my opinion the boxed Aquanaut is harder to find than the AA version.



                      I have a regular boxed '69 figure and a boxed talking Astronaut with the cloth cap not pictured.

                      This is the only boxed '69 set I have.

                        I think they're really neat but I honestly don't have any dog in the hunt seeing as they came out well before it did.

                          I only have customs of the '69 stuff, but Mouth of Doom is awesome and the Aquanaut with locker is one of my all-time favorites. As Makernaut noted, I"m fascinated by the transitional nature of the '69 stuff.

                              That's terrific, looks very sharp. I have a repro boat, but the vintage colors are better.

                                I really like this set, its taking up some space tho. But I shouldn't complain too much I just bid on a AT Mobile Headquarters.
