I guess it would be incomplete without them.
Of course, there have been Joe toys in recent years... my work is never done!
I'd consider only keeping what was UK exclusive, the rest are just crap and detailed info is at Yo Joe anyway. AF or bust, old mate

I voted yes as I am drunk and don't really know much about them ............or care sorry!
OOOH OOOH just remembered in the archives you have the low light v2 or marauders but the U.K. variant is missing as the mutt and spirit is mentioned as U.K. exclusives the low light v2 and low light U.K. have different shades of green but are not mentioned.
Please remember I am drunk but I may be right......I need to stop drinking.

No it's cool, that's a new set of photographs. I didn't know it was a variant myself.

I full agree with that. The Palitoy era is what makes the site stand out of the crowd. The Hasbro era is nice to have as well, but not really neccessarry, as it is nothing more than repacked GI Joe.
This is an Action Force archive, not GI Joe. IMO, the moment "Action Force" was dropped from the packaging the archive can stop.

I can relate to that LJ, but have to also say that after doing my homework on GI Joe for the archives I have more than a passing curiosity and think that Tiger Force is pretty good as an AF evolution too. But if its UK and only UK then it deserves a mention. Yo Joe's history of foreign Joe's isn't exactly the best and Jim's proven it can be done better.
If its just a Joe in US packaging, forget it. If it has AF or is Euro exclusive (or Aussie, or Kiwi
) then it deserves a home.
