Well, as a lot of you know from my last post in the Intros section, things have been rough lately... but there has been a silver lining. Knowing my interest in collecting Joes, a lot of my friends have just handed over their childhood collections to me, and while most of it has pretty much been junk, there has been a few jewels. I now how a complete 82 straight arm collection from this, and Vamp and a Wolverine. However, the biggest shock of all came when my Mom cleaned out her shed and found a box of old toys that hadn't been touched since about 88, and that I thought had been sold in a garage sale.

Feast your eyes upon this:




It's missing the black machine gun cover and one of the red missile pods. That's it. The landing gear needs a little gentle coaxing, but it's fully functional

Now to put Serpy at the helm and shout "COBRA-LALALALALALALA!"

The best part about that isn't the condition but it is the fact that it was actually one from your childhood. I so badly wished I found some of my old Joes like that but I never did. I don't know what happened to them but they are long gone.
