I've got some foreign joes, and I'm looking for a few more. I was curious as to how other collectors differentiate between a "must have" foreign figure and a "pass". Do you even bother or care about the foreign joes? So far, I've been into South American joes that, were never released in the U.S. I haven't gotten into any Funskool or Action Force yet. How do you decide which foreign joes to get?
Would you buy a Lobisomem figure, or would you just buy a Snake Eyes version 2 off Ebay and call it a Lobisomem figure? How rare is a "white" cobra mortal? Yojoe doesn't have him listed. Was he a variant or a completely seperate carded figure? |

Hmm, hard to say... I don't have much interest in figures that basically look like the North American counterparts. They have to be unique, I suppose.
So far, I've concentrated on all the Action Force stuff, and unique foreign Tiger Force (and in the case of the Brazilian figures, Python Patrol) figures. I suppose that's my "foreign criteria". There's also a few others that I simply "must have", like the Brazilian Invasor and Cobra de Aco. I've avoided Funskool for the most part, and I don't know if I'll ever be able to collect the Argen 7... I mean, even if I decide I can justify spending the dough, will I ever even find them in the condition I want?

I was never interested in the original Red Shadows figures. (poor articulation, like the original Kenner Star Wars figures) Now that there is a con set coming up, I might reconsider. I like display the original figures next to their remakes.

Sgto. Bravo is the only one I can think of off the top of my head. He was a redeco of Sgt. Slaughter. Rubiplas was the company making joes in venezuela

I'd like to get into the foreign Joe market someday but would only be interested in the unique ones or ones that are pretty different from their american counterparts (paint colors).
