Takara Combat Joe: SWAT

As well as Action Man and GI Joe, I've quite a few GI Joe International pieces in my collection including Geyper Man, Group Action Joe, Action Team and Polistil GI Joe, but apart from the 40th Fallschirmjager, the Japanese Joes are virgin territory to me.

Therefore I was pleased to pick up my first Takara Combat Joe uniform for the princely sum of only £25!

This is the SWAT uniform...

The uniform and kit were in mint condition...

The M16 comes with interchangeable magazines of various sizes...

Gas mask and knit cap are included...

I am not a fan of the Takara headsculpts and think the uniform looks a lot better on Action Man...

My first Takara set and hopefully not my last! Smile

He looks great! Did the boots come with the set? They look like Cotswold tall boots. I know Cotswold copied the Takara KFG hands, interesting if they copied other pieces.
