    GI JOE???? Need some help identifying

    Found a 12" (looks like Joe) but don't think it is.
    Outside of Big Jim was there any other 12" Military Figures?

    From what I can find he looks a lot like the 1964 version of GI JOE, but he does not have all the articulation that a JOE has, no marking on him anywhere other than HONG KONG.
    His Fatigues have 2 pockets and above one has a rank insignia. I would take a picture, but I have yet to figure out how to post them on here.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks

    There were quite a few knockoffs, even Mego made a knockoff called Fighting Yank.

        picture posting thread:
        Ok, so it's probably been asked and answered a thousand times, but I just set up a photobucket account and would like to be able to post pictures here at the museum. I've read the faq and watched the powerpoint, seems simple enough to post photos to the gallery, but I'd like to post photos in threads rather than the URL link

                  The Tommy outfit and hands are different than his figure.

                    Yep. Tommys Hands bend, mine do not, there is no articulation from the shoulder to the hand.

                        looks like a knockoff MP uniform on yours

                          He has a rank insignia on his left pocket, the picture didn't show that either.

                          Is there a way to identify the accessory items? This guy came with a bag full, some look like GI JOE from pictures I have seen, others not.

                            most actual GI Joe stuff is stamped Hasbro, or tagged GI Joe Hasbro in the case of clothes. The clothes on him are a knock off GI Joe MP Ike Jacket and pants.

                              Fighting Yank MP is my quick guess! After the Hasbro lawsuit with Mego they used this Tommy Gunn head mold till the change to the 70s style one. It should be stamped Mintex on the back. Could also be Action Buddy too. The head mold was used on at least 4 different knock off toy lines.
