Name ?
Danny Garrett

Online name ?
Oldjoeguy

Location ?
Irvine Kentucky, in the southeastern part of the state

First Vam/Joe/Mam or 1/6 figure ?
First Joe was a Action Soldier , got it for Christmas in 1966.

What was your favorite figure as a kid, and do you still own him?
Still own my first, he is the reason I started collecting. wanted to restore to original condition. I started looking around and found a whole new world of GI Joe collectors. So the addiction was started.

Favorite figure now ?
The action soldier is still my favorite.

Most desired item ?
Still looking for a pursuit plane

What will you do with your collection as you get older ?
My children jokingly want me to take post-it notes and mark all the items with the price so they know what to sell it form. In reality, I have certain ones I want the grand kids to have and the others sold or given to other kids who want to start their own collections.

What does your wife/girlfriend/partner think of your collection/hobby?
My wife supports my hobby and helps with many of my projects. She is always on the lookout for anything that could be used in a diorama or 1/6 scale. The grand kids give suggestions on my projects and helpful ideas.

Do you set yourself a budget ?
My wife sets my budget. It has to pay for it’s self. Selling on Ebay,to other collectors or an occasional extra shift at work.

Worst Vam/Joe/Mam or 1/6 figure ?
Have not found one I don’t like.

Views on 40th reproductions ?
Not a real diehard for just collecting vintage, I try to keep the vintage and 40th separate but I use want I need to finish a figure or diorama.

Worst item of the Vam/Joe/Mam or 1/6 range ?
Have not found a Vam/Joe/Mam figure I just done like.

Best thing about collecting Vam/Joe/Mam or 1/6 figures ?
Have found a hobby that takes my mind off work and have meet a great group of people who also collect figures also

Do you think your collection will be collectible in the future ?
As with any collectible it will increase and decrease as the demands dictate. But I feel the value will increase with time.

If you did not collect Vam/Joe/Mam what would you collect ?
Have collected firearms and still do, but the cost has also gone over the top.,

What AM/Joe outfit or set would you like to have seen released?
Still would like to see the old jeeps brought back.

Do you have a/What is your favorite section of AMMO?
Like to monitor the sections concerning the motor pools.

Why do you like AMMO ?
Give me a view into other collectors from another country and see new ideas. Thanks for inviting me to you site.
