I was always looking on YoJoe at the figure, interested in the figure and hoping the origin was found. It looks like it has, and it's very cool! I hope it's real but as C.I.A.D. stated, it could be a fake. Let's hopes its real!

I appreciate this thread getting moved up where it "belongs".....as to whether the revelation is valid or not, consider these points:
Dave Tree has an incredible rep in the Star Wars community for his work with the UK line. He's as straight of a guy as you could find in the community. He has nothing to gain and everything to lose if this is a hoax. It's not like he came out and said "oh look I found these and I want to sell them". He's admitted they aren't his and he's asked for nothing in return for his discovery. It's being publicized because of it's importance to the Joe community at large not because he's looking for anything out of it. In the meantime, the credibility of not only Dave but to some extent, BFTB are at stake here. And as I said, he's got a lot of personal credibility to lose. There's just no motive for him to be misleading us about this.

YoJoe.com had the story on this early... wow. A Flash repaint. I know the back story but I just never really cared that much.

I e mailed Hasbro about this figure last month and this was their answer:
Hi Anthony, Thank you for your patience. We have checked with our GI Joe team and they are not aware of this figure. They think it may be an international release. We appreciate having the opportunity to assist you. I guess Action Force could be it. Glad to finally get some type of answer. |

There's just no motive for him to be misleading us about this. Agreed, Dan. Which is why I had/have to play Devil's Advocate. Unfortunately, as you mentioned, there are many in our community that would not only point the finger and call it fake, but not take time to understand the importance of the piece (well, the quasi-importance to those of us who care about these things). Unfortunately, it's our job to doubt. That's how we get answers. Do I believe it 100%? As I said on the Island, I want to. I just can' allow myself to because then that means that so many more questions beg to be answered...and I honestly don't have another 20 years to wait. (smile) |

This is the pinnacle of my 'Adult Collecting' lifestyle.
I'll have my manservant and young ward Pablo fetch me one for the "adult Collection"...
