Sorry if this come across as a stupid question and not sure this is in the correct section to post. sorry if I upset anyone.
Hopefully other collectors have come across this problem as may know the answer. Not as knowledgeable on Joe toys as I'm on Transformers. If you can help many thanks. For the last 4 to 5 year I bought up as many Joe collections as I could to build my my collection. Know that I'm down to just parts and the last few figures and vehicles. I have time to complete my figures. Here the problem that I never really gave a thought to was figures that have the black hose. Does anyone know the lengths that a figures hoses should be? looking at my range vipers I have 5 and the 3 that have hoses are not the same length. Thanks Jim

Jim, in my personal experience, I've never found that two hoses are exactly the same length. As such, I've purchased replacement hoses (for both figures and vehicles) and trimmed them to the same length of one of my pre-existing hoses.
G.I.Joe Heaven has both styles, figure and vehicle. I hope this helps, sorry that it doesn't provide a definitive size. |

This has GOT to be a standard hardware store bulk supply hose... in t3h same way that the O rings are #7 plumbing O rings... man If I could find the proper hose spec I would give for instance every apiece of my 30th techno Vipers its own dedicated hose and that would be NUTS... plus that nozzle diameter can be found on all sorts of control handles and mold features on Joe vehicles that would be cool with really overly long sections of that hose connecting to them then being "serviced" by figures in FOB, FARP and headquarters type dioramas.

like I said just wondering if some knew of a website that said 90 range viper hose is bla bla mm long. Cause most of the time if I bought a collection and the hoses were just in a bag with no gun or back pack attached to it I would just put them into a bin. If say a hoses was connected to Dr Mindbenders gun or black box. I would put it in with that spot of my parts bins. But Know that im down to my last 3 figures and 2 vehicles I can focus in on parts I need and putting hoses with figures. But like I said 3 out of the 5 range vipers I have on display have hoses. The 3 that do have hoses are not the same length and not 100% sure which one is correct
