Mego G.I. Joe

HardyGirl: "The Adventure Team came after the military figures, Wrathdemon. Even though they kept the name GIJoe, the concept was completely different. To that end, a new look was presented, something cooler, and more 70s."

I think it had something to do with the Vietnam war. Parents didn't like the idea of buying military toys for their kids at that time, so GI Joe was reworked into an adventurer. I'm pretty sure that was the story I read somewhere. Whatever the reason, I love the Adventure Team, although I won't be marrying it anytime soon.

Yes. This had a hand in it. Joe's sales were dropping. The AT ended up surpassing the military Joe in sales. I too love the AT. Fuzzy hair and KFG. Awesome looking figure Brown Bear. I've been wanting to do one like this for years. Maybe I'll get off my hiney and do one now that I've ssen yours.

Ooooh! I love that! Great, BB!

I never saw a "western Big Jim" and never have seen anything other than the flat, open handed Big Jims. Nice choice for Joe's hands, though. Bravo! Your custom lineup is looking fabulous!
