I also made my joes in to superheroes when they were not doing Joe battles. Ie blowtorch, was IRON MAN, i used 3 chopped toothpicks per hand with tape to make removable claws (wolverine) with Crystal Ball (just b/c his hair reminded me of wolverine haha) I would replay the secret wars in my own version. I had other figures i used too, i had all the alpha flight characters, fantastic four etc....all created from my joes based on their colors etc. Loads of fun.
When i was into WWF, i would make my joes WWF guys as well. Just pretend you had a ring, and make them duke it out.
but when not having WARS with weapons, my favorite thing to do with my joes was to sit on the top carpeted steps in my house, and have a big punch up with them. Of course your favorites usually lasted to near the end, the toughest guys lasted longer as did the ninjas. They would punch, kick, etc , whatever moves i could think of. They would jump off one step onto joes on another step. I would have all these fights going on, it was a real blast.
Its sad to say, but if i had the time and money to just do whatever, i would continue to do those things from my childhood. Still got a ton of Kid inside me :shock:
