I was introduced to the original 12" Joe toys around the age of 8... my dad had bought a neighbor's entire collection (a TON of stuff - it'd be worth a mint today) @ a yard sale for $10 - & I don't think there was a day that went by, that I didn't have as much fun playin' w/ those guys as equal to my StarWars toys - just really great stuff here bump, brings back a lot of good childhood memories - thanks for sharin' this...
