Jim, is the blonde Man of Action original? Many at The Trenches don't believe that the Man of Action came with blonde hair. My younger brother had one, blonde right out of the box.

YES that Gijoe is original...Bought that Talking MOA off my local friend, it was his childhood Joe... So Yes MOA came in blonde at times... My understanding is the blond was mainly used for astronaut BUT also used once awhile as the MOA!

He's a talker? Cool!!
I have three men of action, they were all brunette. A couple of them needed reflocks anyway, so I had one done as a blonde and the other as a red head. Duart from FHQ did them for me. I later learned he is colorblind, the blonde looks great but the red head isn't the sea adventurer color I had hoped for. He is a reddish color, but the color is very dark.
Unfortunately I have misplaced them. Still looking to find them again.

Hope you find them Daryl! That dark red would be unique...
I just realized I bought a another blonde years ago off of Buck but he was dressed in a santa suit... SO???

Due to the speed needed to get them on the shelves there were quite a few blonde man of action and brunette astronauts. For some years collectors thought others were misremembering things, until pictures of blonde MOA and Brunette Astronauts on birthday/Christmas pictures started getting posted. Yours looks great!

I found the blonde one that Traud reflocked for me. Still looking for the other. His uniform looks like the muscle body version. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Traud did a really good job... And the figure looks great Daryl! Yes I have a uni like that but wasn't sure what what Joe it belongs on...lol
