Any new Joes?

[PNGwynne]

I appreciate the invitation. The flocking on those looks excellent, BTW. Your MB guys won't have that stoned look that my Geyper repros have.

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

You should drive over and help me fix these. You can also help me pull all of these boxes of Joe stuff out of the garage

I've driven to Akron many times, it's not that far to my my house.

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!!
