I grew up on Joes...then kind of grew out of it for a while...a long while. Then 2 years ago...I had to have knee surgery. And during my time home....cabin fever and boredom set in. My son and I found some boxes in the attic...and lo and behold they were my childhood joes. When I looked at my son (age 4 at the time)...I seen the same look in his eyes that I had when I first seen joes. With that...I was back. Since them my son and I have been collecting like mad. LOL
I haven't had time for any other lines...but I do have my He-man figures from my childhood yet. Like CIAD...I too, was nice to my toys.
When my son got me back into collecting...I started to hit the boards and met some great people online. CIAD is one of my best friends that I have never met in person. He was nice enough to let me take a lot of his collection off his hands.
As for most prized collection item...I'd have to say my Rattler. It was the first large joe item I got as a child...and it is very dear to me, when I hold it I can close my eyes and picture childhood friends and backyard joe/cobra battles.
I most certainly will continue collecting. However my focus is on 3.75 scale. Nothing against S6...I do purchase some of them, but I rather the joe scale I grew up on, and so does my son. With limited product in my area...I got into customizing. Heck...if Hasbro won't make what I want...nobody but me is gonna take a crack at it. I find customizing to be very fun and a great stress reliever.
I am from Pottsville, PA...home of America's Oldest Brewery. LOL
