I'm starting with ones I had as a kid or ones I wasn't able to purchase at the time. Luckily there are a few vintage toy stores within 45 minutes of me that stock a good amount of GI Joe.
Nice. I was late in collecting vintage figures, my first being the 1992 D.E.F. Shockwave, which was one of my favorite figures at the time. I currently have that, the 1988 Shockwave, a Headhunter Stormtrooper, and a couple of other JvC style customs, but the rest are modern era. I used to enjoy vintage but found the modern ones more appealing because of easy customizing potential in some cases and removable gear...
