You train spotter Ross!! lol!

We can notice they're 40th Joes but to the average member of the public they are just 'Action men' They were probably just the closest figures to hand for the project.

I've seen a few of these pics separately but never the whole 40/40 thing.

I bought 'Geezer' on page 15 from UK ebay last month... liked the bike too... it's very cool... it was £38 in total s pretty reasonable for a custom made by Kilm at

http://www.bigshottoyworks.com/

Who, it turned out, is a pretty famous designer dude..'Iron Giant' etc.. I emailed him about the figure and he replied and was cool and happy to hear about Geezer gave me some background to the figure

So Geezer is now a part of the Slackademy... the other figures in this competition are cool too... it was a cool project with Bob Brechin having fun with all the guys by the look of it!

Twas my point Ralph Smile

but if these were pre launch of 40th and I thought this was what I was gonna be buying I would have been disappointed with the product I actually received Sad

Id love to see photos of him done by you Jason! Maybe he could have his own photo shoot in the Slackabinet? Is the motorcycle a Triumph Bonneville? Is he a 40th body with the new head and hands or is he a totally different figure? Smile

He's a modern DID-type figure with a little customisation, pot belly. ..and hair... I think Klim bypassed the '40th action man' requirement!! affraid

I'll do some photos him and the bike is a late 60s bonneville. ..I'll get some VAMs on it and snap a few too... ...watch this cabinet! Twisted Evil
