Post by: eagl on January 19, 2007, 08:22:59 AM: I think in the next frame, the girl's little stick or umbrella is firmly swung into Joe's groin. That's why she's still smiling, because she knows what's coming next.

Post by: eagl on January 19, 2007, 08:25:20 AM: And back on topic, I don't have a pic of it or have it with me but I have a neat cast pilot figure. I think it's hand-painted cast resin but I'm not sure. It's pretty detailed though.

Post by: AWMac on January 19, 2007, 09:29:29 AM: I think yer GF is trying to give you a hint somewhere here...

yep a deep subliminal message here... lets attempt to break this down in terms you may understand...

During the Season to be "Jolly" she gives you an "Action Figure"...

:(

A "Sailor" "Action Figure"...

:confused:

A "Manly" "Sailor" "Action Figure"...

:huh

Sailors are reffered to as "Squids"... this is one "Squid" from "Years Ago"...

:O

With that said...here is the breakdown...

"Yer Old Squid is no longer HER Action Figure as it was once years ago.... so she gave it to you in a polite way of saying Go Play with yourself. You will soon to sent sailing away while she waits for HER Fleet to come in."

:cry

Yep that's it...

:aok

Now, for fun, say to her "Wow, I can get a good price for this on ebay". :D

Post by: chancevought on January 23, 2007, 03:04:44 PM: anyone notice the similarities with our current situation? I grew up with the 80's GI Joe...A small highly technical Army that was huntin a force of bumblin terrorists. The bad guys were well well funded and had an illusive leader that could never be caught.....hmmmmmm

COOOBRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA....hiss sssss
Title: G.I. Joe
Post by: midnight Target on January 23, 2007, 03:26:23 PM: And I grew up in the 60's when GI Joe was a giant with huge arsenals and humongous accessories.

Things that make you go hmmmmmmmm.

Post by: Guppy35 on January 23, 2007, 03:27:06 PM: Still have my first from my 5th birthday in 1965. Broke his hand the first day. It's since been replaced. He's not in bad shape for being 42 years old :)
Title: G.I. Joe
Post by: Blooz on January 23, 2007, 04:11:32 PM: Got my first Joe in 1972. He had his very own jeep and helicopter.

He was chewed to death one day by the dog so all I have left is his uniform.

Replacement arrived with "kung fu" grip. He disappeared in the early 80's while I was doing real soldier stuff. One of my nephews must have adopted him. I still have his uniforms and equipment in the wood GI Joe footlocker.

When 12" GI Joes came back around in the mid 90's I bought two and collected up every pack of equipment I could find.

Looks like they're getting scarce again. At Christmas they had very little at Toys R Us for 12" GI Joe.

Post by: Pooh21 on January 23, 2007, 05:28:21 PM: Modern 12" figures have come along way since the originals

there are ones like these (http://www.dragon-models.com/catalog/figure_pics/) out now.

Opening pouches, accurate to scale uniforms, weapons with removable clips and spring loaded bolts. They are very cool. I have about 40 now.

For those of us who grew up with the original Joe's, the new stuff just isn't the same deal. Guess it's the nostalgia factor. My son had some of the Dragon made stuff. It looks great and has great detail, but it isn't Joe :)

Post by: Mark Luper on January 23, 2007, 11:14:03 PM: Interesting thread. Didn't realize these things were collectables. I remember my oldest grandson playing with them.

When I grew up I never played with dolls but then I don't remember them being available either.
