Bulletman International

[RSS]

My passion for Hasbro's Bulletman knows know bounds, the figure in the foreground is the first thing I ever purchased at a toy show (sadly almost 30 years ago). The other two are international variations of the figure that I'm proud to now own, more after the jump!

My latest addition is the UK version of Bulletman, the good people at Palitoy invented a lot of things for Joe including Kung Fu Grip, Eagle Eyes and the flocked hair we all love so much. When they took a look at Bulletman, they decided to make some edits the first being they gave his helmet better vision with larger eye holes.




And they gave him jet boots!





Mexico called him "Hombre Bala" and I've yet to see his packaging. Hopefully someday I'll have another update.

The jet boots are wicked.

I'm surprised Hasbro has never redone Bulletman or Super Joe Commander in another size. I bought a Bulletman to restring a few years back and he had the rocket boots and I love them. A really great figure.

[Brown Bear]

One of the coolest toys ever made!

Awesome, I had no idea that the UK version had those differences. Nice get!

I've never had a Bullet Man, but now I want a UK one!

I have the Palitoy one, MIB. Bought it many years ago out of Toy Shop.

Big fan. Sadly I sold mine off when I decided to collect exclusively 8inch a few years ago.

Those are just neat. I wish they were done in 8 inch style.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiice! Another difference of the UK Bulletman is that the helmet is larger.

This is on my list of Mego Meet exclusives... if I could figure out the arms and helmet
