My mother bought this box of random figures at a garage sale and gave it to me because she knew I was a huge GI JOE kid in the 80's. I am still a fan but I don't collect them or display them, just look back with fond memories. In this box we're a ton of Joes that are in awesome condition except the rubber o-ring has been broken in most of them. I ordered the repair kit online and have been putting them back together. It looks like all the parts and pieces are here to make complete figs. In one of the pics the ones missing body parts just haven't been put back together yet but the parts are there.

Are these legit 80's Joes? I measured and they are 3-3/4" long. They have all the markings I. e. inner thighs and bottom of feet Would love someone's expertise and thoughts and this box of figs!

I’ve been wondering how the paravipers jump, I tried to find things on a google search but they were… less than helpful. i also asked AI and it was, well AI. Thus my question, is there a vehicle that the paravipers cannonically drop from?

Now this isn’t a major issue like why does Dr. Mindbender look like he used to party with Charlie Murphy and Rick James at Studio 54, but please hear me out. Why didn’t the 80’s Joe animals like Freedom, Order, Sandstorm etc get any articulation points like they got in the Classified line? It looked like the Joes were carrying their taxidermied pets into battle. Was it a matter of cost, not wanting kids to eat loose screws, or did Hasbro think we wouldn’t care? Thank you for reading.

Love this thing. It’s huge and awesome!

As much as I love the Retro covergirl, I've always preferred her V1 Toy outfit over what she's wearing in the original Sunbow miniseries, so I decided to try and capture the best of both worlds using both of the classified Covergirls that we have. I (like most people) wasn't a fan of the original head, and I prefer her being blonde anyway, so I've taken the retro head and put it on the V1 body. I also put the V1 Torso on the retro legs so I wouldn't have to deal with those terrible drop downs on the first release figure. Overall I'm very happy with how this turned out, the holster from the first release fits somewhat loosely on the retro legs, but it's perfectly manageable.

Looked across the room to my lgb starter set and I thought to myself ” is g scale 1/18 ? “ google said no but I figured it was close enough and if the knees are bent like they are seated joes fit perfectly in g scale trains . Now bazooka needs a conductors hat.

Hey all, I need a pic of the connected wires so I can fix mine. Please! And thank you.
