This was my favorite Joe as a kid, next to Footloose, my original ended up being burried in the sand box when a canyon wall caved in and I could not find him. Anyway I am glad Hasbro brought him back but the mask doesn't fit right and he doesn't hold the MAC10 very well. any suggestions for the mask? Also mine has a scar on the left side of his face I don't remember the original having this. maybe I am wrong?
Oops I posted this twice... I don't know how to take one off? Sorry. Last edited by vtt1jam; 11-12-2008 at 02:16 PM.. |

for the mask,i just sanded down the little pegs that fit into the helmet,then lined the muzzle up so that it covers his face up to the bridge of his nose,then just add a bit of super glue...imo,it looks alot better,the only set back is it is on there for good,but i like it better....and i think the scar adds alot to the fig...

mine holds the mac very well. dont remember seeing a scar on mine, but that doesnt mean its not there. despite his few issues, i like him a good bit. |

He got the scar while climbing out of a sandbox after a canyon collapse sometime during the 80's.

I may try sticky tack. I will probably sand down the pegs and try to fit the straps under the helmet along the ears. Thanks! |

yeah,the only downer to super glue i have noticed over the years is that it leaves a residue,especially if it is done on a black surface,it leaves a white film,so i go over that area with a sharpie, but the sharpie leaves it a flat black,ahhhhh,ya just cant win i guess...
