Masterpiece Edition Aquanaut

First, a Masterpiece Edition Sailor:



Drop most of the uniform, and all the extras, leaving the boots, Dog Tag, and Cap to be used later.

Next, a reproduction Uniform from 3rd Son Books.



The pin will probably go in my hat, and the Adventure Team sticker will go towards an Adventure Team member who needs it on their uni.

My Land Adventurer probably.





So, thrown all together with a GIJCC Reproduction brown shoulder holster, I figure I've got a play-Aquanaut that's pretty nice. The neck of the sweater is a little Velma for my tastes, but for 8 dollars, I can manage. The sweater is actually knit in some way, and is fairly stretchy.





Posed with my GI Joe Convention 2016 Aquanaut (left) for comparison.

Vintage 3D Joes Aquanaut for further comparison.

Very nice Ian! top bashing mate

Fantastic Action Yankee!

How did the 3rdsonbooks trousers fit good? They look good!

They seem a little short, and perhaps too wide in the waist, but they're a decent fit. The mismeasurments are small, just enough to notice, but not enough to negatively affect the funtion or the look.

Nice kitmixing AY, wouldn't it be nice if white shoulder holsters are released, they would contrast well with what you have achived above.  

Masterpiece and Timless are the best of the reissued Joes, the most valuable item on the figure is the head sculpt (they are fab vintage new) shame about some of the bodies having stress cracks from new on Materpiece Joes, not enough plastcizer was used.
