Looks like someone wanted a cheap Ledy CCP and painted those hands & feet! If you look close enough there's light yellow paint on the worn fingers



What you may ask's wrong with the ERG ?!?!!?

Well here's the description....

"Give us a kiss big boy"


Saw this and it made me smile, and as for this bad boy, I would actually love to own this, just so I could send it to AFA!

This seasons essential winter wear sported by our very own rebel commander....



Luke's nice custom saber, guessing a lot of kids did this....



And finally Bibs new hair sorry lekku* cut.

Luke used the solid M1 rifle & the special orange jumpsuit/headless Ben.

Hi Ryan,

the guy with detached head is a vintage Gi Joe Adventurer "muscle body". The inner plastic sling dries up and breaks... releasing the body parts...I know those fellow quite well. I have about 200 of them

I have a bunch of the 3 3/4" GI Joe figures (Dad had a few vintage from the 60's) and yeah, not sure why they continued to use the rubber bands. Many of my early 1980 GI Joe's have broken bands, which would otherwise be in good condition. I just wish I hadn't 'battled up' my vehicles... a 7-8 year old with hot needles, matched and fake blood = worthless items that would be worth something!

Being older than you , I played a lot with 12" Action Man and 12" Joes as a kid. We use to drill thebody with hot needles and use red paint too (Kids never change!)

Then I started collecting them....

You're an old man compared to me

In here Oklahoma, we are home to the "Action Figure Museum", which is in a small town of Pauls Valley (how a town of 6,500 people in the middle of Oklahoma is where the Action Figure Museum is still a mystery to me, but I like it!). The museum has a HUGE 12" GI Joe collection which has complete battle scenes set up. It's really neat.

I've only been there a couple of times, but plan on going again soon with 'fresh eyes' on what they have. There is a bedroom set-up that has about 10,000 figures alone.

Yessss son! I am an old man actually 44.

Next time you visit the museum, please remember to make some pics of the Joes there. I would be curious to see what the doirama look like! Thanks

This is the website for the museum. You might be able to see some of the G.I. Joes and stuff in some online tour pics. I have never been there either, but I went to college in Ada (a nearby town) and had heard of this museum before.

ECU Tiger grad!

I am an Oklahoma State and S.Eastern Oklahoma State alum... currently working on my masters degree at SOSU.

(Blueberry, you are only 5 1/2 years or so older than me )

And I will certainly get some photos of the G.I.Joe 'war scenes' for you when I go back!
