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:
Toy Show Pick-ups Dedham2_zps05a6d64a

The big find, literally:

Toy Show Pick-ups Dedham7_zpsfa77542f

Needs new hands (I already have Geyperman replacements)

Toy Show Pick-ups Dedham5_zpse014ff5e

Close-up of the head:

Needs a reflock:

The new arrivals:

Good comparison of Joe versus Action Man MB height:

A rather packed bookshelf!

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!

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!

Toy Show Pick-ups Defender1_zps33481842

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

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

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!

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

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!
