    I had a Johnny West with no hands and no accessories. He usually hung out with the GI Joes as a casualty.

    I never liked Johnny West himself.

    To me he was a sloppy old bow legged cowboy.

    He was my least liked figure of all of them all.

    A friend of the family gave me a carry case for Best of the West that I don't think I ever used. In 1985 I traded it for MIB Megos.

    Not one ounce of regret.

    I had a boxed Johnny West with his horse (had the box for years long after Johnny had galloped into the sunset....it contained Christmas decoration).
    Also had Sam Cobra (I agree Mike...one of my favorites as well).

    Actually I still have Sam Cobra, minus all of his accessories. He actually served as the base for my very first custom figure in the early 90s. But that's since been dismantled and ol' Sam is himself once again, plotting against the Johnny West I picked up on ebay.

    For some reason I never remember them associating with my Gabriel Lone Ranger gang...must've been a size issue.

    A real good friend of mine, who uses the same factory we do, makes replicas and kick arse new customs and extensions. They just re-made Jeb Gibson
    and made Jesse James from an unproduced prototype

    They also sell re-pro gear...http://www.marxmanbros.com/index.htm

    My cousin had Johnny West, but to me he always looked like John Wayne! BTW...that black figure is cool!:smiley:

    I still have (somewhere):

    Johnny West
    Jamie West
    Captain Maddox
    Geronimo
    Sam Cobra

    Thunderbolt
    Buckboard Wagon

    I loved these figures as a kid, because you could really get in the dirt and play with them. Lost alot of pieces here and there, but I thought the tack for the horses was the coolest.

    David Lee, thanks for posting a link to that site. I checked it out and figure I will probably order some stuff from them.

    No sweat man... Noah and Terri are close personal friends of mine and excellent folks, buy in confidence! They sell a really neat white "color change"
    gear set that you can dye to any color you want... they really love MARX and BOTW.

    I loved that line. I had Johnny, Custer and Geronimo. In my top 5 toy figure lines. Later on they became "giants" that my megos would fight.
