First, not sure if this is the right spot for this request so I threw it under general.
As the proud dad of 3 youngs boys, ages 6, 4 and 17 months, i cannot tell you how thrilled I am that my two oldest are really getting into GI Joe. They started with my old ARAH collection and I have been supplementing that with items from 25th and newer lines. (Although, the 6 year old has told me that he does not like the ROC guys as the packaging doesn't look like GI Joe. LOL!) My issue is, my oldest has specifically asked for Firefly. He told me that he was asking Santa for "the one with all the squiggly lines (camo) and not the blue one." My wife can't understand the difference and asked me why it matters. I told her that I am so excited that he is expressing interest in specific figures as opposed to just getting whatever we buy for him and we should try to honor that request as best we can. That said, I see that the 25th version 14 is probably the closest version to his mind's eye and what he has seen in the cartoon. However, I know that there are two versions: diaper crotch and a revised version where the crotch was fixed. Does anyone know how to tell when ordering online which is which? Obviously I'd like to get him the version with the revised crotch. Thanks for the help and Merry Christmas to all!!! |

Only way to tell is to look at the pictures.

i'm not positive but i think the earliest stocks of that figure(diaper crotch) are so long gone that you could safely buy one without worrying too much.

That is so cool. My boy is just 2 so he's still more of a fan of Yo Gabba Gabba and Mickey Mouse Playhouse than he is of GI Joe. But the other day I came home to find him playing with an extra vintage HISS Driver figure I had picked up in a trade. He carried that figure around with him all day.
I'm sorry I don't have a Firefly for you, but wanted to share in your Joe-Generational joy.

Thanks guys. I will probably check ebay which shows picture of actual item rather than the online stores that just use stock photo.
Roland, that's how it started with my guys. Watching the cartoon on HUB also has peaked their interest but the coolest thing I witnessed was just last weekend where I needed to intervene in an argument between my 6 year old and my 4 year old over the 6 year old's concern that the 4 year old had partnered up Roadblock with Cobra commander in a Vamp. When I asked the 4 year old why he decided to have those two working together, he explained that Roadblock and Cobra commander are friends because they helped eachother in the movie. Score one for the 4 year old!!! |
