Any new Joes?

Oh shoot, I remember I was going to look though my stuff for an LSO set. I'll make a note to look.

No worries, Doc.

I've been keep a lookout for any but in the last couple months I've only found a couple over priced AT guys in 2 different local shops.

Sadly, no. I want a Landing Signal Officer and Tank Commander jacket but only search intermittently.

I think the last Joe stuff I picked up was a few months ago and was some muscle body Joes/parts.

I've think I realized I have more stuff in boxes than on display, so adding more is making me sad...

Anyone score an interesting pickup or hit a collecting milestone, lately?

^ It's a puzzler that they didn't, but I figure I'll get some white graphic tape to make it right.

Looks good! Not sure why they didn't stripe the AS helmet. I've had a few AS sets in the past, and have two now, but man it's a hard set to find.

I had also picked up dedicated figures to kit out as MPs, Air Security, and Shore Patrol. It's a mix of original, Timeless, and 40th. The Air Security helmet came from Cotswold. One of these days, I may horizontal stripe the helmet as it should look.

Those look great! Very displayable

Thank You! Feels good to be wrapping all of this up.

Finally got the boxes for the Talkers and 1970 AT. The figures are fixed up versions of the 70-73 hard hands AT. Uniforms and pieces are a mix of original and 40th Anniversary along with some bits from Cotswold Collectibles.

Just got a Land Adventurer (1970-1973, hard hands) off of eBay. That's going to be the last Joe for me as I have almost all of the basic figures from the Military line, the Talkers, 1969, and the two Adventure Team incarnations. I just need to get a few reproduction boxes now and I should be able to tie it all together for my collection (or at least as far as I ever planned to take it).

^ those look great! I love the 1969 sets, they are my favorites.

Thanks! I love how well the line bridged the gap from Military to Adventure Team and the boxes are so darned visually appealing.

I did much of the same and Vintage 3D Joes is a superb resource. I used an Action Man 40th Aussie set (minus carefully removed patches) as the basis for my Mouth of Doom, and added a vintage snare from Devil of the Deep as an accessory in place of the raft & pole.

Vintage Aquanaut is impressive.

Indeed! Can't say enough good things about Vintage 3D Joes. I sometimes just pull up the site when I am bored because it's organized so well and interesting to read.
