I took this photo some years back to go with a GI Joe calendar that a member at The Trenches forum used to make every year. He would solicit images to put it together. The figure is vintage, the only muscle body/ Eagle Eye figure I have. I'm not sure what it was called in the UK. Elite body?
The uniform set is a GI Joe Collectors Club reproduction. The original set, as far as I know, was only made for one year at the end of the Adventure Team line. A vintage set is VERY rare and brings tons of money.
The surrounding dio pieces are Power Team, drum, crate, boxes, trash can and the background.

Having that picture in a a GI Joe calendar is totally GI Joe-tastic. It’s a brilliant and simple backdrop and props you’v used within the photo you have created. I’m now picturing me creating a calendar of my best pictures I’ve taken of Gangrene.

Great photo! The Collectors Club Magnum Power is about the only magnum power most of us could afford; or the very similar Defenders Forward Observer set.

Thanks Nate Yes, the vintage set is super hard to find. That's a great Defender set you have, I would imagine they are very hard to find as well.

Not my picture or figure, unfortunately. Apparently the Defenders set was easy to find until a few years ago; since it’s the same pattern as magnum power.

Now that’s a real nice and simple desert camouflage outfit.
