Title: "Rare" Joe variants from China
Post by: morgardee on August 18, 2005, 12:02:15 PM
Just wondering how many of you guys buy the Joe variants that come from China. I've bought some Alley Vipers before and now I picked up a couple of the Cobra Urban strike force guys like this one:

Anyone else bother with these versions?

Next time we are bidding on these we should work together to lower the shipping costs.  :shifty:

Welcome to months ago, guys.   :wink:

I bought the Night Force Beachhead "variant" from this guy. Had to repaint the leg camo, but he looks badass in my collection.

Speaking of these figures, the 3 Alley Vipers I bought a few months ago came with nothing, so if for some odd reason, if anyone has extra Alley vipers masks or sheilds or knows someone who casts them, please PM me. The thing that made the alley vipers different is they were version 7 but had no black stripes on them. More of a plain Cobra blue with black boots and chest. This is the normal version:

I have several of these figures. Here are some pictures of the ones I have.  I also have the blue Alley Vipers like what Dave mentioned as well as bootlegs/repaints/variant/stolen etc. figures of Snow Wolf and Scarlett (the one where she looks like a stripper).

I have not bought any in while as I noticed the figures continue to drop down.  It's the shipping the kills you as this seller making a killing off of it. Can you believe someone dropped 400 US on the blue Storm Shadow figure when it frst came out (I was watching the auction and couldn't believe the final price it went for)?
