That's really cool. I've found 12" Joes in antique stores now and then. What were these priced at? |

They were all priced between $100-$150. I was tempted to get the green beret even though I'm not a 12'' guy, but my dad had one when he was a kid and credits it with subconsciously influencing him to go special forces (green beret) in the army. It might be a good father's day gift. Is $150 a good price for that figure? |

About 10 years ago the GIJCC did a reproduction of the Green Beret set, and there are a lot of Timeless Collection/40th Anniversay Joes out there, but based on the Landing Signal Officer set there I would say it's vintage, since they have never done a repro of the LSO set. |

The dealer confirmed it was authentic, to the best of his expertise. He wasn't up on all the repros though. However, the set of figures came from an estate sale of a military memorabilia collector, and since everything else from his collection was from ww2 and Korea, it makes sense that these figures are closer to that era than modern day. |
