It's hard for me to remember, because the ARAH line was pretty much coming out at the same time I was...

So, I was started pretty young.


But, I distinctly remember having the Skystorm...  Not first, but early on.  That was one of the first that was all mine - I got a bunch from my brothers, when they outgrew playing in the mud.



Yeah I got a whole bunch from family too. Most from my cousin and I split it with my oldest brother. My two other brothers gave me theirs and eventually I convinced my oldest brother to sell his stuff to me. Sadly, I think I have very few of my own original toys left. I think I've lost over 20 figures over the years.

Funny thing with the snake armour. I got the blue version and always hated it. I wanted the white one like they had in the cartoon. Good thing I kept it and didn't play with it. It's probably at least an 8 out 10. No, I'm not going to trade it for a white one.

I was about to ask you a trade...  :P

My first joes... it was in 1983 with: Airborne, Gung-Ho and Doc. I discover few years later that a previous wave existed including: Rock and Roll, Grunt, etc. In fact, I just got Rock and Roll, Grunt, Flash and Cluth... and I'm still looking for Breaker... :-[

Fall 1982...The VAMP with Clutch and The FLAK...the next day we went back to Woolco and got Breaker because the FLAK didn't come with a figure, and I maintained that Clutch could not be in two places at the same time.  That Christmas it was raining Joes!!! (Including the Cobra Missile Playset, from which I still have the file card holder)

Although not my first figure by any means, I remember the day I got Duke because that was the day of the big tornado in Barrie. We were...I think in Toronto that day (I cannot remember for sure on that but I know it wasn't Brantford) and I found Duke at this huge department store as well as a few Constructicons. I remember the weather was really bad where we were too and us driving home in some crazy wind storm and me holding Duke for dear life. My brother broke one of the Constructicons in the car that day...we had to glue one of the legs back on.

The first Joe toy I ever owned was the Adventure Team Helicopter, which I got for Christmas in 1978, whew, man I'm old. The first 3 3/4" I got was Straight Arm Snake Eyes, and the RAM cycle, and the Colorforms playset.
