| Hi all, I can remember just like it was yesterday in 1969 getting a eight ropes of danger set for Christmas!  Then Christmas of 1970 getting the Sharks Surprise set! For some reason I remember these two Christmas's more vivid then any other Christmas's...  I had so many underwater bathtub adventures with these Joes! I still have all my original childhood accessories and Joes from these sets!... Minus the orange scuba suit which is long gone... My original 8 ropes of Danger dive suit is upstairs in a box as the rubber lining fell out of the inside and the neck is really stretched... But these two sets are front and center of my little display space area...

| I also remember having this set as a child but I have no accessories left...  I ran strong twine from our 2nd story bathroom window to the ground and sent Joe on some mighty wild rides...

| I think it is great that these 'toys' have managed to stay with us through thick and thin... and bring back so many deep seated childhood memories... and I think, even better, new 'grown up' ones! I've really enjoyed 'playing' with my Action Man again these last few years... especially at Christmas...   Great thread Jim and a nice bunch of Joes... _________________ RalphMe?
