    Info on 90's 12" GI Joes

    A friend of mine picked these up for $10 at an auction last week and mailed them to me. All i know is that they are stamped Hasbro 1996 and they are GI Joes. Not sure about the guy on the end with the blue camos.... he's the only one with fuzzy hair. I've searched around on the net but haven't come up with much. I've come up with Gung-Ho grip and a possiblilty that the guy on the right may be Action Man. They are all pretty minty and i'm assuming incomplete. Can anyone tell me more about these guys? Is there any value to them as collectibles? Thanks.

    yeah looks like an action man to the right, they use to come in bright neon orange boxes..the rest look like basic Joes, no value whatsoever bro, I see these by the dozens at a buck a piece collecting dust at thrift shops every time I go

      They're early CC (Classic Collection) GI Joe. The Gung Ho Grip that you mention comes on the later bodies. Like TTC says they're pretty good toys but not really collectible.

      I took some later Gung Ho Grip bodies to use for some vintage Intruder heads I had lying around. Note the articulated hands...

          I bought the GI Joe on the far left for five bucks complete, new in package at a show a couple of weeks ago for customs fodder.

          I've seen piles and piles of 90's military style 1/6th figures dirt cheap at most shows lately.

          I think many retailers have taken to stripping the complete new in package figures down and selling the clothes, bodies, heads and accessories as customs fodder since they don't really move much in the after-market these days.
