    AJ Footlocker Dimensions?

    I tried to make an AJ jumpsuit...fail

    I tried to make a cast of AJ's head...epic fail!

    now, I think I can make an reproduction of an AJ footlocker....That item is a bit elusive on ebay.

    Can somebody with one post some pics and/or the dimensions? Now, that, I think I can do! Thanks!

    p.s. I've always wanted a g.i. joe footlocker, too but never got one of those either.

    ...maybe I'll get an old wooden GI Joe footlocker from e-bay and make a scaled down version for AJ...

    It looks very similar to GI Joe's locker.

                >I tried to make an AJ jumpsuit...fail

                I've made a few after taking apart an old one. They're kinda tricky to sew 'cos they got this weird valley fold on the front flaps. Did you make a pattern off an old one?

                >I tried to make a cast of AJ's head...epic fail

                Really? They're kinda round and bulbous, so they're easy to make molds of.... if you already know how to make molds. How'd you go about doing your try?

                    Well, they weren't my best efforts. I had some plaster around and some extra blocks of sculpey. I made the molds out of the plaster and pressed soft sculpey into the molds and put it in the oven. What came out resembled Han Solo when he was frozen in Empire Strikes Back!

                    The jumpsuit...well, my daughter and I tried with her new sewing machine using a pattern from the site here. It's laughable.

                    We're not licked yet! I just need to get a proper mold & cast kit (aluminite, maybe) and give the jumpsuit another try maybe hand sewn this time.

                    Thanks for squaring me away with the footlocker, folks! You guys are great!

                      Thanks AAAAA!

                      I wanted to say a big THANK YOU! for all the photos, dimensions and information on AJ's footlocker. And especially THANK YOU to AAAAA for getting me one!

                      Yes...imagine if we could go back to the early '70s and buy this stuff at Sears! Wow! I'm sure I walked by AJ's camper, footlocker, scramble cycle, etc. when I was a kid without thinking much about it.

                          I just saw this thread today. I was about to get my AJ footlocker out to get the diminutions and take some photos when I saw that it had already been taken care of.

                          Does anyone know how common or rare the AJ footlockers are? I know that the original green GI Joe footlockers are very common, but I don't see many of the AJ footlockers. Maybe I'm just not looking?

                          By the way, AAAAA: It was very cool of you to send AJ-Paratrooper a footlocker!
                          Nostalgia just ain’t what it used to be.
