Toy Show Pick-ups

Just attended a local Toy Show over the weekend and managed to snag two items from my want list. One has limited poseability; the other has a bit to much for the moment!

The end of the line for 12" Joes:


The big find, literally:



Needs new hands (I already have Geyperman replacements)




Close-up of the head:



Needs a reflock:



The new arrivals:



Good comparison of Joe versus Action Man MB height:



A rather packed bookshelf!

terrific new additions Nate !, can't wait to see whatyou do with them   

nice finds nate   

Nice finds, Nate!     

I especially like the 'Muscle body Joe'   

I have  2  defenders  in my collection.

YOUR Body muscle  jOE IS SUPERB!!!!!!!!

Hope you enjoyed yourself, had fun and brought lots of money to the local Toy Show that you wnt to over the weeknd ? That's fantastic that you managed to snag two items from your wanted list Glidah Drivah , I't always a great achievement when you find and buy what is on your wanted list.

Thanks for the kind words! Here are a few more shots.

I actually only spent $25 for the pair. Was going to try to haggle; but was just excited to see both on the same table next to each other!

They used the same sculpt.

Very cool pieces .... .Cheers and I wish I had one of the Defender Gents

well done Nate, excellent Pick ups great looking Figures   

Cool pick-ups Nate. The muscle bod is obviously a nice piece but I have to say I quite like the defender too!

He has a great face!



Defender..Hasbro's own KO range! So good Hasbro neglected to put their name on it..and then there's bullet man!  

Still a nice piece of 12 inch toy history...and those duck camo shorts are cool!  

I think hes got a happy face .

In kind of a "D'oh" moment, it was annoying trying to make the trousers and boots on the new MB look presentable. Then I realized that his legs are a bit longer than a standard '64 body. It also explains why all the equally tall Geyperman releases have tall lace boots or jackboots on!

His look is really coming along Nate, keep up the great work

Thanks Dal! The sweater will make him look like he's ready for action; especially after a restringing and reflock!

-Nate

awesome !     

excellent !!!!  

Decided to try and make my Defender look less like an AT reject!




-Nate

Looking good Nate   , be great to see how he progress's mate   

I picked up a few items at an antique mall today. One was this pith helmet which might have some use.




One of my other Joes is also coveting the helmet!


-Nate

Looking good Nate, I see it didn't take Mike long to get his atomic hands on that hat !
