My Astronaut camera came today...

I've got a Masterpiece Edition version, and the suit is pretty nice, stiff, but nice, so the ME Joe is staying in there.

Please post a pic of your Astronaut if you wish Action Yankee... I'd like to see it...
Thanks...

I've got one right now that I took for a pet project.



Other pictures will have to wait until the next time I'm at my parent's house.

He looks great Action Yankee!

nice set RT

The ebay seller I bought the astronaut camera off of on 1/11/17 has not even
shipped it out yet...  I wrote and politely asked if he/she knew about
when they could ship it out BUT so far no answer back...  
They have 1563 sells and a ebay rating of 99.2%
And I did ask them a question on 1/11/17 BEFORE I ORDERED
and they promptly answered then...of course...lol
Maybe something happened? But anyhow I'll deal with that later if need be...

As I ordered another camera off of a different seller today and they
said they will ship it out tomorrow from Texas USA.  


Found these pic's of a 1960's Astronaut:







Made a few changes:

Great pics, Jim, really makes you appreciate how accurate the original Joe was

Good call reordering that camera from another seller.

Best of luck!

Bri

very nice

Thanx Bri & Acam24-7! Much appreciated!

Jim,.

Once the camera arrives it will be "all systems go!" Looking good Jim





AY,

The Masterpiece head sculpt is the best of all of them, including vintage ones (did i just say that, yes i did) because this is a brand new issued vintage head sculpt if that makes any sense. I've been chanting about the Masterpiece Joe for years, because i absolutely love the Master edition Joes..

Your one below is a real beaut, it's the dark eyes. When i first set eyes on this photo below i instantly thought it was a vintage Joe in mint condition, that's how good they are. My mum bought me a Masterpiece Joe some years back, i think it's time for it to be out and about again in front of my camera

My childhood astronaut close-up: Not bad except his eyebrows are a bit worn...
But could of been worse as some of my Joes got thrown out of 2-3 story
windows with parachutes...  

very nice Jim!

very swish looking astronaut jim

Astronaut camera came today from second ebay seller I ordered from...
First ebay seller I bought one from has not shipped it yet... :-/  So I'll have a
spare when it comes...

Very nice, it's good to have spares too.

Glad the seller came through for you Jim!

Now, you have a start on your next Astronaut!

Thanks guys!

I have this fuzzhead astronaut...
You know I seen a couple people selling just the white vintage hat on ebay
for $75 plus shipping. I did not realize it was worth so much...

The first seller of the camera did ship it today... The second camera should be here Wed-Thur...
Its coming from NY which is only like 5 hours drive from here...lol

very smart Jim! You can't beat a AT Spaceman!

Thanks Dal!

Nice one Jim, a fully complete original Astronaut!

Thanks Clivvers!
