| Some months ago, I picked up a rather battered early MOA at a toy show from the damaged loose box of a barbie dealer. He's a flocked Action soldier with a bad eye paint job. He was missing his lower right arm and left foot, and was just generally dirty.   I managed to get some spare parts and clean him up  and got him ready for adventures. Through some trades with some upstanding fellow collectors, he's gone from not being ready for display, to overseeing the inspections!    -Nate

| Thanks for all the kind words! Just a small update, I managed to source him a vintage MP helmet; and another item that both hides his wonky eye and adds an air of authority!   -Nate | |
