brothers Stone (again)

First there was my child hood figure Tom



he the met his long lost brother Tim.



They get on fine and were  gob smacked when yesterday they realised they are in fact triplets and Terry came along.....



Terry came home after a stint on ebay. I thought I had lost him but I was given a second chance and for £28.00 I paid for his flight home. £28.00!!!! Very pleased with that. He needs a beret and I think I'll give him to Jemma,  though she said what she really wants is (look away Steve) the intruder lol

More pictures of Terry

very nice mark!, there is an intruder on ebay right now mate

Thanks Dal. I couldn't resist for £28.00. Spent the day restringing him. I've got my eye on that Intruder Dal

Yes you did really well there mate! good eyes sir !. The Tom Stone is a great figure, I have bashed mine a little and he now sits on my banner,



I was also really lucky last year and made a trade for Tom U.S alternative,




Good luck on the intruder too!

Looking great Dal, especially like the AT figure with the beard

Sparkys6887, liking the triplets Tom, Tim and Terry .

Thanks Alex. Glad you like them mate.

Great pics Mark of the brothers Stone!
Good luck on that intruder...  


DAL,
That bearded US alternative you have Dal is that a Vintage Gijoe AA TALKER Commander?
Or a Repro AA Talking Commander that was sold by the Gi joe Club?
Or a Cotswold non-talking Mike figure?

He is a vintage MB (non talker AT Joe) mate and he is the pride of my Joes

great set of guys

Nice family Stone you have there, Mark!

The beardless AT AA Joe figure was just called "Adventurer" and named Greg in the comic book...Greg Stone(?)

I've lost your address Jim and I do believe the PM system isn't working so he'll have to stay with me.

Thanks for your comets Gary and you too Brian

I need a fully working Tom Stone, mine is in bits with arm and hands missing.
Sparky you have too many , I'll be glad to take one off your hands .
Yours look amazing condition.
If anyone has any spare arms/ hands let me know.

Thanks Jet.

I really enjoy restringing. The key is to get all the old rubber out of the forearms and then it's much easier.

Rick Joeman had some great repro hands and I think hobby crash also do them.

This is a great site Jet for Tom spares as they use many of the same parts

Tom Stone is a Action Man figure that looks like our US Gi joe the "Adventurer"
Palitoys gave him the official name Tom Stone...Hell his name is even on his box...

Our US version the Adventurer actually does not have a official name given to him by Hasbro...

Jim, I believe he was referred to as "Greg" in one of the included comics from the set, but I guess it's debatable if that was given him by Hasbro.

I think Hasbro wanted children to use their imagination and for children to give their Gi joes
whatever names they wished thus Hasbro gave the PH Gi joes and Adventure Team Gi joes general names...

I think...  

I always get myself in trouble whenever I presume to know anything.

Good question to ask on the Trenches...
I will ask and see what they say...

I do know originally in 1963-64 they had names for Gi joes but they never followed through with
that idea. Like Rocky the Marine, etc. (They felt Gi Joe was a nice general name.)

And I do know the modern Gi joes (the little guys) have names, code names, and all that good
stuff...
