1. They are REAL old and REAL brittle.
2. It's easy to customize the newer Joes even without a screwdriver. Head/hand/gear swaps faster than you can remove a screw.
3. Joes from the 90s don't always fit the smaller snugger early vehicles.
4. Sand, drill, glue in dowel. It's easy after you've done it a few times.
5. See #4
6. Can't argue with this. But no o-ring superhero figures so kind of a wash.
7. They're 35 years old and aging. It gets old having treasured figures snap heels and crack down the elbows all the time. Newer figures are flexible and sturdy. . . at least for now.
8. Yeah the hundreds of o-ring figures I have sure were a good investment. They're basically worthless with a few rarer exceptions. I can pick up 84-87 figures by the pound every day at flea markets and vintage stores. Toys are a terrible investment period.
9. Right because that Python Patrol Convention set is so easy to find. Better go buy another one right now. Anybody want these Shadow Trackers? I have too many.
I have a complete set of 82-94 figures. I was collecting foreign variants and bootlegs when I finally lost interest and switched to Modern only. I loved the o-ring figures in their day but their day is over.
Your mileage may and obviously does vary.
