Any new Joes?

The original pelvis design is horrible, both in poseablility and in accommodating clothing.

And the hands were just so useful...

I prefer the MB to the 64 style joe body. the 64 is just so damn clunky...

Yes, I love the eagle-eye feature. Unfortunately, most of the Geyper reissues have instead that stoned expression lol.

I used to not care for the vintage muscle body Joes at all, mostly due to the them falling apart. But since being able to re-string them I do appreciate the way they fill out the uniforms(wow that sounds kind of creepy) and I do prefer the Eagle Eye heads, they are awesome!

The diver is my favorite Joe.

well all I got aquatic is the Deep Sea Diver so no worries there on any skin.

I think the muscle bodies are perfect for nextgen 12" versions of Super Joe. Making customs of those got me hooked, and I did a fun custom MB Defender, too. But all of my military and most of my AT Joes are classic. A little variety is nice. The dynamic body is good for aquatic figs where a little more of the physique is revealed.

never cared for the muscle bodies or its English cousin the dynamic body.

^ I think that is true with vintage classic bodies. But the muscle bodies fall apart and the AM dynamic bodies are $$, with shipping.

ehh, just give me original Joe bodies. Amazing that I can get a 50 plus year old figure on ebay and its still in good shape. I get some crap ones too with worn out elastics, but usually they are still holding up.

I'll stick with the original Action Man stuff. Just got my first Dynamic Body AM and love it. Only thing I had to do was restring the head. Got him on an Afrika Korps outfit,I'll post pictures later.

I'm a fan of the dynamic body, too. Did you know there were quality (40th) repros of it? (I apologize if I'm discussing reproductions too much.)

nice looking accessories but the Ken arms look horrible

yeah those bodies look like crap. worse than the Hasbro HOF Joes from the nineties

I agree. Might work for parts. Art and Science also did the 50th AM figures, and they are assembled oddly.
