The new figures do fit nicely with the old ones (between straws, wires, Mego hands and a little bit of hope, you can get the old guys back in some semblance of one piece). I had to get Not-Mike-Power, and I decided to put him in a vintage suit, which fits, though at the moment I can't recall if I needed to snip the toes off for the legs. Even if I did, it still looks great on the figure. I may not be getting every variation/combination, but I'm definitely getting at least one of each distinct character. And I believe I saw something about some GITD versions down the line? That's something I'd have a hard time passing on. I'm not a huge Super Joe fan (what you see below is all I have (excluding the rocket command center stored away somewhere in one of my closets), but I'm very happy to see this line get a second shot (one that shouldn't fall apart while still in the package).

Don't sell yourself short, that is a nice collection of Super Joe! It isn't that big of a line.

Also, the suit that you have on Atomic Mike did not have the "footie pjs"... if that is what you were wondering...

You know, if Atomic Mike had at least a silver or clear arm or even a hand, I'd be right there with my wallet.

That's right! So that's why I didn't recall snipping them.

I'm definitely interested in getting at least the bearded Joe in black outfit. I remember buying the Super Joe commander at Western Auto, first and only time I saw them in a store and he was already on clearance.

Like I said before,I don't know why Hasbro gave up on the 12" stuff. Could you imagine what it would have been like if they brought over Palitoy's Space Rangers stuff?
