    Vintage Super Joe Collectors

    Does anyone here know of a vintage Super Joe collector site with a forum? Reason I ask is because I just recently found out that the scale of the heads is perfect for the Z-Body and I'm going to look into having a neck adapter made.

    There is a SuperJoe forum but it's rarely used and I think a lot of the same people post here.

    I have parts if you need photos but Trappy likely has more.

      I have recently made an adapter that connects a custom head that had a hole instead of a neck-plug to a ZICA body. Is that like the SuperJoe heads?

        I thought that was probably the case but I was curious to see if there was a site that focused on Super Joe figures.

        Thanks for the photo offer but if this happens I won't be reproducing any of the accessory parts, only a neck adapter.

          Yes, a Super Joe head has a hole instead of a neck-plug. Do you have a pic of the adapter you made?

            I'll take a picture tonight and sent it to you.

                The only Super Joe forum I know of is here:

                Super Joe Command Center

                I lurked for a while but there is *no* activity... so doubt it would help, but just in case.

                I agree that the body looks fantastic for rebuilding Super Joes. It has a very "Joe-like" design to it. I would love to see you offer bodies in Darkon green or The Shield blue (with black hands, of course).

                  Thanks for the link.

                  I actually have the Darkon body so once I do the Z-Body in different colors I might consider doing a color match. Same goes for The Shield if I can find a body part from the figure to use as a color reference.

                    When you get ready to pursue this, let me know. I'd be happy to send you some Shield parts for color matching.

                        Yep, pretty much Deadsville...I'm surprised that so few sites/forums are dedicated to SuperJoe

                          I also love your idea for the different colored bodies, hopefully Zica will consider it

                            I remember playing with the 12" Adventure Team Joes as a kid but never even heard of the Super Joes until last year. And it wasn't until just recently that I discovered they were 1/9 scale. It actually seems like it could have been a very successful line but I guess it suffered the same fate as MEGO figures.

                              I think the Super Joes are a wonderfully creative and cool looking classic toy line. But I don't collect them because they only exist in parts. The Super Joes scream to be reissued.
                              You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...
