When you ladies and gentlemen were kids...
Which FIGURE, if many of your vintage JOES were humiliated by the breaking of the thumbs, or the snapping of what me and my pals used to call- "THE D!CK PIECE." Can you remember the fateful day it happened to one of your fave figures? How did embarrassing dismemberment take place? In battle? By biting on the hand of the JOE to fit a weapon more snug? Any horror stories while at play, where a figure may have become a eunuch or thumb-less asset to the team? I think it's happened to all of us. P.S Godspeed mangled thumbs, and "D!CK PIECES" of old... wherever then may be! Tell us your story. |

Every guy that could or would do a ninja move and anyone that came with a gun too big for their hands... most of my vintage play-joes are all disfigured in some way.

Pretty sure it happened to all of them at one point in time or the other. The most tragic crotch-snap was the Baroness. The worst of my broken thumb collection was Storm Shadow... he could no longer hold any of his awesome ninja weapons!

Dusty of course, he was always the worst for broken crotches. Especially Tiger Force Dusty. In fact, I can't remember any of my friends having a Dusty that had an intact crotch. Breaking crotches and thumbs was just terrible, because you never expected it to happen, you just wanted the damn guy to hold his weapon right or stand on the big rock properly and BAM! Worthless figure. My old Voltar had a broken thumb and crotch, plus he was pink, so he became utterly unusable. Same with Night Creeper (thumb).
...Wow, I typed the word "crotch" waaaaay too many times in this post. Guys, don't let me do that ever again. |

I must have been extremely careful with my old joes. I had very few crotch breaks. I remember Ace particularly, possibly from a parachuting accident as well, but few others. And I really can't remember breaking any thumbs. I was very careful when outfitting them with weapons. I didn't have the money to replace them easily, so I guess I was just paranoid about it.

I broke the crotch on my Mutt and tried to glue it back on but the glue melted some of the plastic and it looked like he had a mangina.
