The head sculpt that some VAM collectors refer to as a first issue is actually the 1965 issue hard noggin.

This 1965 issue had no issues...  Laughing  Shrinking issues, that is.  By 1965 they had found a suitable plastic that was harder than the first issue and didn't have the problems with shrinkage, and that was the standard issue head in late 1965/1966.

Now the 1964 head sculpt had major issues.  I have a whole spectrum of 1964 head sculpts: from the translucent softhead, right on through to the shrunken pinheads.  Pinheads have shrunk so bad they are distorted -- and are pathetic.  I've had a pinhead languishing naked in my spare figure box because I thought not much could be done because the head was so small.

But then I had an idea -- I had a uniform helmet that an ordinary GI Joe would never fit...

Here's my 1964 TM Pinhead G.I. Joe in an Ultimate Soldier Tanker uniform.  I think he looks rather smart.

A great way to save a 'presumed dead' figure! Is that heroic looking square Jaw a pinhead trait too? I've noticed it's a distinct 'look' amongst some early Joes.

Absolutely!  The pointed head pulls the rest of the face upward.

Here's another Pinhead of mine that isn't quite as bad...

Nice Tanker kit! I like the goggles.

I think the superb Masterpiece heads would be an ideal replacement for the Pinheads.
I wish Hasbro could be very decent, and release five fully painted Masterpiece heads in carded blister packs, including a grey hair, that would be so cool Very Happy
