Any new Joes?

Good gravy, that's a bit of a gold mine, isn't it?

Well I miscounted. I pulled the bag out again today and there was a 4th muscle body in with the others. I also found another Eagle Eye I hadn't rebuilt yet. Just looking at 5 of these in need of restringing is making me tired...

Just got some Muscle Body parts for $150. I've got enough to make 2 Sea Adventurers. Plus I've got a pair of Bulletman arms. I'm surprised it went for as cheap as it did on Ebay.

Sounds like a great deal! You could get maybe half your money back selling the Bulletman arms.

Ironically I was looking for something in my garage yesterday and found a bag of three Muscle body GiJoes I had forgotten about. One Eagle Eye and one talker that still works. All of the body parts are there too. I really don't remember when I got those, LOL...

Looks like I need a good left hand(as one of mine is missing a finger), or I'll take a left forearm with good hand if anyone has an extra one.

Nice!!

All of the Sailor, Dive and Sea Adventure stuff from GI JOE was great. Do you have a Sea Wolf, as well?

I bought a pretty complete boxed one with a lot of UV damage and glue scarring. Then I bought a very nice Palitoy gray one, which I prefer, and am salvaging the Joe one for parts. I still need the top portion of the periscope.

Just completed my filled 1969 Adventure locker, courtesy of Paul at 3rd Son Books and a little diligence on my part. It's fun. My repro Adventurer even has a proper ribbed t-shirt.

I may do an Astro locker if I can find parts cheaply enough. It's not nearly as interesting to me, but now that I have the other two...

I've been cobbling together the 1970-1973 Adventure Team recently. Finally replaced the Talking Man of Action I had as a kid and picked up a blonde Man of Action to easily distinguish between the talker and non-talker. Got some repro shoulder holsters and AT dog tags from Cotswold to complete the Adventurer, Air Adventurer, and Sea Adventurer I've had for the last year. Now, I am only a Talking Black Commander, Talking Astronaut (fuzz head) and Land Adventurer away from having the set completed. I'll get some nice repro boxes for them at some point.

Most recently, I got a 40th Anniversary Action Man Liverpool Footballer set from Cotswold because I've always thought the footballers were cool looking sets and I had no Action Man stuff.

New thermal scanner, because I envied drquest. I think it's a great accessory. I'm bashing a whole Joe around it.

Vulture and shark on the way. Custom Super Sandy finished!

I'd like a magnetic flaw detector, but those seem scare and $$$. And I missed a nice large sea-sled.

I've got a Magnetic Flaw Detector,well the piece that you have Joe hold. I need all the other pieces so those aren't easy to come by. My guess is it's because of it also being part of Danger Ray Detection.

[PNGwynne]

I hear that all the time. I'm going to do an orange jersey and tan or brown trousers, brown boots.

I need to decide what extras I want to throw in--flare gun, knife, walkie-talkie? I used to have a lot of 40th bits, but doing figs like this has depleted my stash.

You know, if I found a nice Rocket Pack, it might look good on my custom AT pilot.

Haha! You need to post up some pictures of your stuff!

No. I have two backpack sleds (white and yellow) from the club, but no vintage larger sleds.

I want a Sea Wolf most of all, always looking. Still need a nice shark, too.

But I've snared a lot of aquatic accessories, I may have to fill another locker!!

Newest item: Action Team motorized sea-sled, identical to the 1970 Adventure Team release--with proppeller unit.

Thanks for the tote suggestion! But I was also wondering about the "MARS" Power Hogg I'm planning.

Anything using a Capt. Action body gets my vote, it's great figure.
