Ralph's tiny just started collection

[G.I. Ralph]

Ok, it's not a 2 figures tiny collection - it's for a 2 month old one a pretty friggin big collection! I had the ROC figures for a while (the only Joes you get in Germany in a store) , but i never counted them and most of the time they are sitting snuggly in a box stored away - so when i went to the US in late september i visited a friend we both raided through TJ MAXX(es) and also he was like "Let's flip through this box of my loose Joes here and we take this empty box here and you throw in every fig you want!" .... Okay!

So here it goes:

Amongst the older Joes were some rad costums like this Scarlett here - i looove it!

congratulations on your collection! Joes are wonderful to collect. deep down inside i will always be a Joe collector, no matter how many other lines i collect to keep me entertained.

ARAH FTW!

Thats an excellent start for only 2 months.

Is that Outback a custom, it looks fantastic!
Why is Tripwire with the Cobras?

I would count yourself extremly lucky your buddy gave you a DTC Cover Girl. She is a little difficult to get.

Check my trade thread to see if there is anything you need. I ship to Germany.

Great! Nice start. That Zarana is pretty funny with Larry Hama's name tattooed.

[Mazinger]

Yup. Nice start. Especially scoring that Cover Girl.

Thanks alot! I'm truly happy with the selection i got from him and the stuff i found over in the US! I wish i could live somewhen there so i got access at almost arround every corner. i hate this stupid Germany for being so lame with toys (and also regret kinda spending so much on all the StarWars shit i got - would love to replace that with vintage Joes and vehicles).

And yup! Outback is a custom. He got more sharpened eyes due some minor edging and a copper wash on the hair. Also in the bunch of costum figures is Roadblock who's got more stretched legs, a beefed up Gung-Ho, an Alley Viper with a nice wash and Firefly gots also a more angry look through a paintjob.
I will take some shots of them soonish. That friend's interest have slightly changed and he's now producing his own figures Glyos Transmission Web Log (http://glyos.com/) but remains still a big fan to rhe line.

Tripwire is standing with the Cobras blamed to my noobishness. Sorry. :D

And Octane, she may not be the prettiest one of female Joes but she's ONE of a handful of female Joes. Makes it a little difficult to let her go ...

[G.I. Ralph]

OOhh, i see the misery: 75$ for the comic pack she came in - definitely not worth it.

[G.I. Ralph]

Just had some new ones in the mail lately. Their O-rings need to be replaced though they are quite nice!
