JohnnyAkiba - My Joes.
 

Hello Arkers & Random Google Searchers it's Johnny!,

I just joined the G.I. Club last week and ordered a few 12" Joes to add to my already growing 12" Joe collection.

PLEASE ENJOY! and I would love to see your collection and hear your comments!

I think they're cool. 12 Inch figures are really making a comeback thanks to companies like Hot Toys and Enterbay.

man i love blond mosshead kung fu joe! that fig really takes me back. when i was about five i got into my grandma's attic and found all of my uncle's old 12" figs. one of which was flocked (brown hair and beard) my uncle also had the space capsule, joe with space suit, and the jeep with trailer! i was in heaven! he had kept them all in GREAT condition. i was hooked from there on out.

Yeah, there's a lot that can be done in the 12" scale that can't be done in the 6" or 3.75" scales (accessories, clothing, properly-sized masks/helmets, etc.). The attention to detail is always impressive, as well.

I love the stories. Those are what make me want to collect.

I picked up the original 4 from Walmart a year or two ago. They had also released the Navy Frogman suit along with some other accessories. I really hope that Hasbro does this again soon!

The WWII Action Soldier that is pictured is a great figure. Very Nostalgic. BUT it is not the most accurate looking WWII solider I have seen. I am glad he is in my collection.

the frogman is amazing. my uncle only had one dive fin, the mask and, air tanks...i always wished i had had both fins. it was until years later that i saw a complete joe frogman. and ya know what...even if the ww2 soldier isn't really accuarate that's not why you bought him. i'm betting you bought him for the nostalgia.
