    I'll stick with the original Action Man stuff. Just got my first Dynamic Body AM and love it. Only thing I had to do was restring the head. Got him on an Afrika Korps outfit,I'll post pictures later.

        I'm a fan of the dynamic body, too. Did you know there were quality (40th) repros of it? (I apologize if I'm discussing reproductions too much.)

          ehh, just give me original Joe bodies. Amazing that I can get a 50 plus year old figure on ebay and its still in good shape. I get some crap ones too with worn out elastics, but usually they are still holding up.

            ^ I think that is true with vintage classic bodies. But the muscle bodies fall apart and the AM dynamic bodies are $$, with shipping.

                I think the muscle bodies are perfect for nextgen 12" versions of Super Joe. Making customs of those got me hooked, and I did a fun custom MB Defender, too. But all of my military and most of my AT Joes are classic. A little variety is nice. The dynamic body is good for aquatic figs where a little more of the physique is revealed.

                  well all I got aquatic is the Deep Sea Diver so no worries there on any skin.

                      I used to not care for the vintage muscle body Joes at all, mostly due to the them falling apart. But since being able to re-string them I do appreciate the way they fill out the uniforms(wow that sounds kind of creepy) and I do prefer the Eagle Eye heads, they are awesome!

                        Yes, I love the eagle-eye feature. Unfortunately, most of the Geyper reissues have instead that stoned expression lol.

                          I prefer the MB to the 64 style joe body. the 64 is just so damn clunky. but yes, the MB has it's issues too

                            The original pelvis design is horrible, both in poseablility and in accommodating clothing.
