Hi all,

Fled here signing in from Melbourne, Australia. 36 years old and still obsessed with toys, much to my wife's chagrin. My older daughter doesn't care, as long as she gets to play with Cover Girl and the Baroness.
I've been a longtime visitor here, drawing inspiration from all the great photos you guys have posted, and I finally decided to sign up yesterday.

I had 3 Joes growing up - Tunnel Rat and 2 Cobra troopers - which occupied every second of my childhood days. I liked Transformers too, but the toys were too expensive, so it was Joe all the way. I lost interest in them when I entered my teens, and my mother gave them away.

For the last 5 years I've been into 1/6 scale action figures, but my interest in 1/18 Joes was rekindled after the Rise of Cobra movie. I'm one of the few people who liked it - I bought the DVD and watch it once in a while.
Since then I've been building up my 1/18 collection and I've done a few customs which I hope to share with you soon.

The pickings are rather slim here in Australia - the few available figures are way overpriced, and the ones on sale are usually all gone before I get there. EvilBay has been my friend.
