    I would have been all over that as a kid, but I wasn't even aware of this figure until I got the latest Cotswold mailer last week. They have a repro up for pre-order.

        That looks like a re-purposed Super-Joe body! Very cool!

            Falcon stuff is great, they reissued Gijoe/Falcon Muscle body figures in 1994 but they are long gone. Great they they have reissued so many great sets even a few original. The Falcon line had soem great original figures and sci-fi themes too! I love the 12in Super Joe type stuff they made and some of the originals by Loucobones(sp?)

                It's like the 12-inch Joe muscle-body.

                    It's tempting... and I don't even buy new stuff much.

                            I received it yesterday. I'm clueless about pix, sorry. It is very close to the original: The box is large with great diorama-style graphics. The new figure's colors are a bit lighter and brighter. The cloak has a flocked/velveteen collar instead of a vinyl one, and lacks a securing chain. The figure body is sturdy but not nearly as durable as a repro muscled Geyperman. Considering the rarity of the original, the price is excellent.

                            I actually like it better than my vintage one, and I hope they do CONDOR as a complementary figure.

                              ^ Glad to hear your thoughts on this. As a kid, I had no idea about this line and as a result, I don't feel the usual pull I have toward the things I had or remember being on shelves or in catalogs. However, it's JOE related and so darned cool that I am leaning toward getting one, myself. Cotswold keeps adding Geyperman, Falcon, and Group Action Joe inspired items and it has me thinking I may be chasing after some figures from all of those lines in the near future.
