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.

Long winded autobiography

I'm Tony, a 33 year old high school English teacher in Buffalo NY. I have been a Joe fan since childhood. In fact, I feel sad that kids today don't have the types of entertainment we 80's kids had. I always loved Joes because there were so many, and they were so much cheaper than just about anything else (K-Mart $2.97, Shipwreck was my first buy). My parents didn't have much cash, but Joes were in the budget. I never really had many vehicles or bases, just Joes. Really, what more do you need? Long story short, I was sickened to find that most of my Joes from my childhood were displaced. In the 90's, I had a nostalgic attack and I went through flea market mania to restore (pre ebay) my collection. I always said to myself as an adult with a salary that if they ever re released the Joe line, I would buy everything I saw. That's where we are. I am nuts about the 25th and ROC line. I have 2 sets of just about everything. 1 opened, 1 closed. Yes I have the vehicles too. I have always been unto modeling (HO trains) with scenery and mountains, but Joe dios have always been a passion. I try my hand with customs as well (Footloose, Dial tone, Cover Girl). I have a Joe diostory in the works. It's called "the search for Alpine" and the Joes are on it. Ironically that is my story too. He is the only figure I want and don't have.

Danish Dude Veteran Offline --> Posts: 302 --> Join Date: Mar 2011	Hello everyone! I'm Nekoman's older brother. I have recently started taking photos after Neko left me with the camera a few times. I typically go by the name of "Nagato-san" on the internet, but I let Nekoman set the account up, so he bequeathed me the name "Danish Dude" while I wasn't looking. :P

Pleasure to met you guys
