Hi guys,
I recently grabbed a bunch of classic Joe guns off Guru-Planet, including this OICW-styled rifle. When I received it, I was surprised to see that the handle is much too large to accommodate classic '80s/'90s style figures, and would most likely break the thumb off of a stiff-thumbed figure. Given that the OICW didn't become well-known until after the original ARAH line ended, there's a chance this might be from the G.I. Joe vs. Cobra-era figure line, but the handle still seems rather large even for the average flexible-thumbed figure of that era. So I wonder if it's a Joe accessory at all, or if it comes from another 1/18th brand. (I currently plan on giving it to a Corps! figure.) Thanks in advance! |

You were right the first time. It is from the JvC/VvV era. It's handle was sculpted too big.

Ah, thanks for the confirmation. That doesn't really surprise me; the JvC/VvV era was fully of sloppy equipment design decisions. I know I'll find use for this, though. Thank you!
