GI JOE Super Joes

[palitoy]

I thought it was the orginal Joe body and big jim body, and the child said Jim was bigger, so they redesign Joe with the Muscle Body.

I read it the other way, I can't say for certain I'm right.

[AAAAA]

I love this line!! I had the Commander and the Red suit guy.

Cotswold collectables make restinging kits for the muscle body Gi-joes, these bodies are simlar, I don't know if the kits would work in these or not.

No they won't, I repaired both bodies types ,i was the subject of NBC show ,18 years ago on repairng G.I.joes.the repair parts are to big.
where the 12 in body parts are pressed fit. the Super Joes are Glued, You have take a razor saw and carfully cut each main limb, (thigh and biceps). and than insert the springs. Hands are the easy to insert and repaire,

A classic line from one insider book I read was that they asked a child who was bigger, Big Jim or G.I. Joe? The kid would always say Big Jim, so they shrunk the body down.

For some reason i'm drawing a blank on these superjoes, can someone please fill me in on this line like what years they were made

They came out in 1977, where hasbro shut down the AT joe 12 inch line ,in 1976. The revamp joe into super joe about 8 and 1/2 inches tall, sporting the same look , with 0ne ,two punch action feature and "fight by night with light" the adventures were aim towards super heroics & SiFi.
Everybody believes that this was a repose to the Oil embargo,It more in line with keeping pace with mego,& superheros was the main thing
by the mid 70's,mego was the number 1 producers of action figures up to that time.

I had the commander with the vest, I loved that toy as a kid. Mine stayed together pretty well, surprisingly. I guess I got lucky. I've wanted to collect these but have a hard time finding them and an even harder time finding them in good condition. The only piece I still have now in my collection is Terron, the "walking dinosaur" thingy.

I remember thinking as a kid that the power vest would've been awesome on an Iron Man figure

I used to love the walking dinosaur thing...

I have been wanting the walking like dinosaur monster from this line.

That would be Terron. I always wanted one of those as a kid, and I finally got one last year (it took awhile!). On the plus side, he doesn't fall apart at least.

I think the PM Ajs might work however.

^^^ If anybody's got a Super Joe head, I can see how it does on a Hasbro 9 inch body.

The 9 inch Hasbro bodies are a bit too big.

I used to love the walking dinosaur thing. I had that as a kid and the bad guy I think he was, the one brian showed. I don't remember owning any of the gi joe's though.

Is there anyway to put them back together? Can you get a new body for them? Can the head even be put on another body?

I am hoping for new bodies for the mego 12" females and am feeling the same way about them. they are all gonna be gone one day. If there was a way to save all these toys from our past.

[AAAAA]

Oh yeah it consist of all the super joes kicking the crap out of GOR.

[Werewolf]

I stll have the club kit with the poster and all the info on the toys.

That sounds cool. I don't think I've ever seen that poster before.
