There was a variation on this item too.. I think the other version had the reversed colors (blue and gold)! I'm 100% sure but there's nothing on YoJoe 'bout that??

I saw one on ebay with the reversed colors the other night, I was wondering what the deal was.  Right now, these puppies are buy it now for like 80 to 150 bucks!

never heard of this thing before but at that time I think I had more then enough joes. Great review. The format is good too. I'm not really picky about how you do it as long as I have a nice picture to view what your describing.

Then you'll have to wait.. 80 to 150 is crazy! I think I paid something like 35$ shipped for a mint loose and complete one some months ago! The reason why the demand is high right now is because of the great olyeller reviews..  ;D

Mine was a whopping $48 shipped, MIB, in probably a C7.5 box!  And yes, I did indeed open it bc these things MIB aren't exactly rare.

Those BIN prices on eBay are ridiculous.  I saw a loose complete one in good shape in a regular auction with  0 bids with not much time to spare, & the opening price was $9.99.  In fact that's how I got my MIB (at the time) one, no one else even bid on it!

And I'm really glad you guys enjoy my reviews so much!

That's a nice price for a boxed specimen! I wonder what was the original price on them in '93??

5h4rK, your inquiry prompted me to pull my box out of my Joe closet and take a closer look at it.  There's an old price tag on it that says $34.99, which means I paid about $13 more than it originally cost to have a boxed example shipped to me.   ;D  Not bad!

Pink gun.  It looks ridiculous, like the figure.

Because of their rarity, the price on the Power Fighters is pretty ridiculous as well!  I see em going for over $100 regularly.
