My suggestion: try pairing the Night Viper with the Water Mocassin, and the Toxo Viper with a Hammerhead (if you can easily find it). I also place my Techno Vipers behind my 83' Hiss tanks, but you can also display him with Dr. Mindbender in the middle, which I don't see...
Post by: Sundance on June 10, 2010, 02:45:01 PM
don't have a HISS... never really wanted one, either...
if i ever buy more larger vehicles (the Ferret and Stinger are the only Cobra vehicles i've bought since childhood) it would be the STUN, Mamba, Moray and Moccassin...

5h4rK, You have to forgive Bandonov and at the same time you do have to give the man some credit. He's not collecting ARAH (80's-90's joes) but he's redicovering it all thanks to ROC and 25th.
He was serious, I'm sure :wink:. Bandonov, that's the original 1989 Alley Viper.

'88 i think. it was only available as a mail-in. i got that and the Weapons Transport. which they didn't even bother re-stickering so it has Joe stickers.
Hey Sundance, how did you took the AF transfer to G.I. Joe when you were young? It was a good or a bad thing for you at that moment??
Post by: Sundance on September 20, 2010, 02:35:09 AM
buut the switch in 1990 was confusing. Marvel UK was always telling us that 'GI Joe' was the American name for 'Action Force' and they were the same team - which was (of course true) reinforced in the comics with characters operating on either side of the Atlantic.
then they suddenly did this insert comic called 'Divided We Fall' that claims AF is a Euro outfit and the Joes a US outfit and that they'd been fighting Cobra seperately and not doing well and they were joining forces.
it maddened me. it was about then i realised that they were repacking the toys for the UK market (the Weapons Transport with it's Joe stickers I got from a mail in offer helped) and it really irked me. i was like 'WTF, why didn't you just sell it as GI Joe in the first place, you idiots?!'

The very minor changes done for Canada (the first country to get Joe's outside of the US) should have proved that major alteration wasn't necessary to the popularity.

The first fig I army build was the BATS. At that time, I didn't have too much money to put into my collection so I got few cheap BATS without their chest plate (like yours) and I bought some sticker. It filled my need for some years! ... in fact until I put my hands on some really nice, complete and cheap BATS!
Thanks for sharing your pics!
Martin
I have about 10 BATS, becuase when I see one for under $5, I have to jump. But only two had chest stickers. Got some repro ones really cheap, as Martin suggested and they look awesome. Highly recommended.

You know I really respect the fact you take time to take pics of each figure. Are these all new to your collection and you take pictures every time you add them?
some is stuff i've had since childhood (like Serpentor) and some is stuff i've added, and i decided i'd do some dios for the fun of it and i just do stuff periodically when i'm not busy with other stuff and/or it's not wet.

well, i started out doing the 'training exercise' dio story for fun, then i decided to do some pics of my arctic joes and then i just started doing stuff with everything i've got. i'm going to do some more (better) pix of Destro, Flint, Footloose, Jaye, CC and a few others once it's not raining! damn april showers!
More power to you brother. I don't have much privacy here where I live so mine will have to be indoors and just take pics of my collection on the shelves. I started last year with a empty WHALE that was give to me by snow. I got every piece to it up to last week. the command post glass was the final part. I loved my cousins WHALE as a kid and he loved my Sky striker, Rattler, Raven, and Conquest. So in a way I went navel...i also got the other parts that I lost on my rattler.
Then I went all out for figures and have close to 150+. It's a giggle kid thing that I loved that now as an adult I could get all the figures instead as a kid just looking at the packs and having to choose.
I love the winter joes as well. I want to get a snow cat. My brother had one as a kid and didn't take care of his stuff and that got lost in the ages. Plus the wolverine, and a few others.
