Extreme Troop Joes...new carded Chinese ripp offs!?

I didn't have any luck with Sobeys. What section would they be in? I walked around my local Sobeys and found nothing, but then again, I've got the Giant Tiger. For some reason they are all out of Undertows. Oh right, that was me!!!  :lol:
Undertows are great for stealing the weapons (from the ones you bought) for any BJ's Undertows you might have or for just fixing up your original Undertows if they had no weapons. I haven't gotten around to trying yet but the heads might fit on 82, 83 figures as well, for customs.

I gotta admit, curiosity has the better of me, so go for it. You did offer them up for trade. In fact, what's your ebay I.D? I'd like to see how much they go for.

what i just noticed is that the ones in that auction are different from the ones i have.  Those are called "X-Troop", and mine are called "X-Treme Troop".  Also, mine do not have actual codenames like the auction ones, each soldier just has their country of origin.  Still, it'd be interesting to see what they'd fetch, since apparantly, the Yanks want them.

Looking at Yo Joe Dot Com's bootleg figure section, it would seem that around 2000/2001, a bunch of molds were made (or stolen) and since then, figures have been popping up from different countries.  They all seem to have the same weapons and it's the same 10 figures, but with some slight variations.  The SP Forces ones are almost Identical to these new X-Troop/X-Treme Troop figures.

I had to edit my post as the winner of that auction was a Canadian in your next of the woods Spill.  I know his code name on ebay and on joecustoms. I am guessing he lurked here and may have seen the post.  But 42 US for that :shock: .  You can't even bend the arms right? Carl you stated you got yours a heck of alot cheaper than that.

Radio guy, are the ones you have 2 packs? I remember seeing them a couple of years ago.
