nothing for me or the wife. The kids got a couple of things each and welet them choose some animals for World Vision, but no joes yet. Maybe for the boy one day, when he's older. The girls are not interested in them yet somehow love my old DBZ figures.

Same as B, wife and I didn't buy anything for eachother, but we did make sure that Santa gave special presents to our kids. Although they were very pleased with what he brought them, they still talk about all the fun they had with their family.

Latinjoe and B

You have the best gifts of all in your little ones. I live alone and well I dream of someday being to look at a little one and seeing half of me and half of the person I love.

That is the best gift ever and I really salute you! For putting the needs of others ahead of yourselves. Thanks so much for sharing. It means allot to hear that you are good parents and put the kids above of everything else. I've seen in my life time things that are the other way around and some parents can be so selfish and need to grow up and learn from their kids. You however are not and that is something you need to be so proud of.

I would do the same if I was in a similar situation as you both. Everything for myself would be on the back burner and give my own kids (if I had them) the best Christmas ever. Seeing their eyes and expressions is THE BEST GIFT.

Hats off to you both, you're both good guns! Keep it up.

Big KUDOS!

No Joes here this year, but I got other toys.

S.H.Monsterarts Mechagodzilla 2 Kiryu
Wolverine Legends  6" Sabretooth, Emma Frost and Cyclops, so I can build Puck.
Star Wars  6" Black Series, Luke, R2 and Boba Fett.
Picked up the 18" NECA '66 Batman figure a few days later, with a gift card and a store discount.

So, it was a good toy Christmas, but not a Joe toy Christmas.

That's a nice Crimson Guard. I buy nice ones whenever I find them locally. You can never have too many!

I'm dumping most of my newer ARAH Joes but that HEAT Viper is one of the ones I can't part with. I love that huge weapon!

FRAG Viper on the other hand...

Thank's guys happy new year to all if it not to late ;)

Crimson Guard is realy mint I got it for good price but still missing the original rifle. same as you if I find another one I will jump on it ;)
I realy like the Heat viper I saw some picture of a armybuilder and it was realy looking cool I realy like also the big gun with the gray hose I realy like this quality of hose with details I realy prefere this to the regular black hose.
I will try to complete my cobra collection and maybe I will try to make some army of my favorite cobra
I like the FRAG Viper but it look like a alien with is mask and the mustard yellow is not the nicer color, also I had issue with the accessories I just have hard time with the Throwing Tool to be place correctly


I got also this  argentina variation of destro I realy like it not the best condition but my first ARAH mint on card Still looking to find the real destro 83  and maybe the red jackal but I will have to spend more.

I just adore the art work for destro...it's the first art work of our beloved characters...those cards...It was a big influence on me as a young artist and would know all the details etc. off by heart....just look at that destro artwork and see how awesome it is.
