      I love these characters, too. In fact, I have the "deluxe" Palitoy versions of Bulletman, Mike Power, and boxed Intruder.

      I've never been able to afford the Secret Mountain Outpost, but I have a nice treadmill at least. And I've customized a GI Joe Troubleshooter into an Atomic ATV.
      WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

          Bulletman and Atomic Man never get the appreciation they deserve, but they're an important part to complete any AT collection. Some of my stuff:

                  ^ You have been killing me this last month with the pictures of your Joes, VintageJoe70! Just when I think I am ready to wrap up collecting Joes, you hit us with pics of your collection and I start feeling the itch again. You've got a lot of great stuff and I really love seeing it!
