I've been checking off some collecting boxes this year. I prefer military figures (got into vintage Joe collecting through 21st/DML/BBi, etc.) but have picked up more flocked Joes since there seem to be more out there, and they're newer. I have an Action Soldier and two redheads, one's a sailor, the other's a Marine; but a blonde pilot seemed to be beyond reach. A very nice Canadian collector advertised a Scramble Pilot on facebook recently, and after a Paypal transfer, he arrived today!
I know the cap is the wrong color; but it will do until I get a blue one. He's going to be attired thus until I have some of my local collector friends help me put the full scramble pilot ensemble on. I have a bad track record with small fragile things!
Here's my aviator comparison; from the beginning of the 12" Joe line to its ignominious end.
The Defender is dressed in the Fighting Yank equivalent to the Scramble pilot.
