First Vam/Joe/Mam or 1/6 figure ? it was a Joe Scuba Diver
What was your favourite figure as a kid, and do you still own him? it was Johnny West I had him until I went into the Marines then my mother gave all my Marx and Joes away (thanks Mom)
Favourite figure now ? I have 2 "D" and Bubba both are DML
Most desired item ? thats a toughie although the new 50th may bring me back into collecting AM's
What will you do with your collection as you get older ? well I have a few groups of the 45th infantry in my collection and my daughter is supposed to take them and my German's all DML to the museum as a donation and some of my tanks
What does your wife/girlfriend/partner think of your collection/hobby? well I tricked her she likes doll houses so I build them in 1/6 to use in my stories and she gets to gather stuff and decorate them so I do it all for her
Do you set yourself a budget ? usually it's a pretty tight budget especially with Sideshow and Hot Toys going for 200.00 and up makes those 40.00 Joes look really great
Worst Vam/Joe/Mam or 1/6 figure ? the HOF line those hands and stuff are HUGE
Views on 40th reproductions ? anything that brings the 12" figure back is fine by me I love the adventurer figures and the Adventure
Team but I got a soft spot for Marine figures just the sight of seeing them hit the beach brings back those Andy and George comics
Worst item of the Vam/Joe/Mam or 1/6 range ? don't really know of one except maybe Super Joe they really need a better back story
Best thing about collecting Vam/Joe/Mam or 1/6 figures ? why you can get all that feel good plastic smell and relive a better childhood than I actually had
Do you think your collection will be collectible in the future ? hopefully I just hope some kids will get them and actually play with them maybe they can find my comics and stories and make their own adventures
If you did not collect Vam/Joe/Mam what would you collect ? heck I just collect figures that I know I can use in a story to me they are not an investment they help keep my mind busy and off work and stress so I stay pretty relaxed
What AM/Joe outfit or set would you like to have seen released? thats an easy one an Archaeologist bone hunter preferably a Dino hunter I've always wanted to have some of them we still find Mammoth bones around here and plant fossils
Do you have a/What is your favourite section of AMMO? the comic''s and stories section as well as anything about building sets and seeing all the detail that goes into them
Why do you like AMMO ? why I like AMMO well when your a nut about Joes it's always best to surround yourself with other nut's it keeps you in a like mind sort of life and then you know your not as crazy as other people think you are
now I do love building stuff if you havent seen my barn project here are some
