A Filthy Yank Joins Up

Post by Robowang »

Hello!

I'm Robowang from the U.S.A.

I've been collecting G.I.Joe figures here since I was a child in the 80s. I've been researching Action Force for a number of years now, and have started collecting some of them as well. I think the Palitoy figures and vehicles are pretty cool as their own line and as an addition to what I am already familiar with collecting!

I've managed to obtain and refurbish a Red Shadows Roboskull and a Hyena (changed a poorly stickered v2 Cobra Hyena into a super-clean v1 Red Shadows Hyena). I'm currently hunting down the Red Jackal driver for the latter as well as trying to find complete versions of the rest of the Red Shadows team.

I absolutely LOVE the Battle Action Force transition from Red Shadows to Cobra; I really can't look at a CC figure without seeing the Baron's face underneath.

As for my G.I.Joe collection, I have almost every figure from the vintage 1982-1994 line (mostly missing some expensive guys) as well as almost every figure from the "New Sculpt" era - 2002-2006.

I have a BUNCH of extra complete 2002-2006 figures for trade and I am happy to ship internationally, so maybe I will be able to help someone out sometime. :)

Thanks for having me!

Robowang

Hello and welcome :)
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?

You Yanks always arrive late to claim the glory ;)

Welcome aboard mate, always nice to meet a fellow collector from across the pond.
Not here for a long time, just here for a good time.

Yup! Red Laser with Laser Exterminator is on my list, but I gotta say, the Shadowtrak with Red Vulture is way more interesting to me.

If anybody has any leads on either, let me know :)
