Bruticus' G.I.Joe collection

[bruticus]

Just wanted to share with everyone my G.I. Joe collection. I used to collect G.I. Joes when I was in highschool, but unfortunately, I left them to my nephew when I moved to my own place (they're probably all gone by now) . So I started collecting again about three months ago, and was fortunate enough to have been able to buy these amazing MOSC figures ;D.













I am still ever on the lookout for other MOSC Joes from the early 80s to complete my collection. I don't intend to collect every Joe figure ever made. I will limit myself to early 80s Joes (both peach and grey filecards) that are of the traditional military type. So, no high-tech guys with oversized weapons (are these guys compensating for something) .

I will be updating this thread everytime I am able to get a new Joe.

Thanks for looking! And good luck on your collection!

i've seen one at planetforce.com. gusto ko nga talaga nang tomahawk with lifticket. yun yung hinahanap ko talaga. nice collection pare. where did you purchase yung acrylic cases?

[bruticus]

thanks, bro. binili ko yung figures that are graded by the AFA (Action Figure Authority at http://www.toygrader.com) and encased in the acrylic cases. so you can notice at the bottom of the case, may mga grades yung figure.

the graded figures are more expensive kasi yung overall quality nung figure is evaluated by an expert and the figs are sealed in the acrylic cases, so hindi malalagyan ng fingerprints, etc. and the cases are UV protected so (hopefully) the colors won't fade. parang museum pieces tuloy ang dating. ;D

but planetforce is also selling looseacrylic cases at $16 each. here's the link:

yo joe! i haven't posted on the boards for a while.

here are my newest and most important acquisitions (just yesterday, actually):

AFA graded (AFA 80, or Near Mint/Mint) v1 Snow Serpent! Yoohoo!

from the front:


from the back (notice this has a peach file card)


And of course, the extremely-hard-to-find (i've been looking for this for a year now), v1 MOSC Spirit:


I think I'll send my v1 Spirit to AFA for grading. ;D

thanks for looking.

[bruticus]

check it out!!!! here are my latest acquisitions:



[glow=red,2,300]AFA graded (85 or NM+) Sgt. Slaughter's Renegades 3-pack! [/glow] This is the mean trio that kicked serious Cobra butts in the GI Joe movie. I wasn't sure whether I wanted to get this one, but I couldn't resist because the renegades look so mean (and one of them is an ex-Cobra viper...how cool is that!).

Also, this one is rare since Hasbro released only two 3-pack GI Joes in the vintage series (the other one is the Cobra-La Team). Of course, there's the two-pack (Crimson Guard Twins)



[glow=red,2,300]MOSC v1 Scrap-Iron (Cobra Anti-Armor Specialist)![/glow] This is one of my favorite Cobra guys, and was very hard to find when I was collecting joes as a kid. (so, I finally have him, hehehe)

[bruticus]

had a little time on my hands, so i started taking pics of my humble (but growing) gi joe collection. sorry for the picture quality. i took them at night and was a bit sleepy.

here they are:


my entire mosc GI Joe figure collection (somoe are AFA graded, some i've put in plastic star cases)


close-up: my AFA graded GI Joes


close-up: my MOSC (but non-AFA graded) Joes

and last , but not least,


my favorite Joes (or those which took a loooong time to find)

i'll be adding the pictures of my vintage MISB vehicles (and future acquisitions) soon.

thanks for looking! cheers!
