For those who don't have Facebook, I posted this today:
After waiting close to 4 years I finally received a Joe I have wanted in my collection the moment I laid eyes on it. I saw the original figure that Bill Lawrence entered in the custom contest and it was hands down the winner. When I found out he was making 10 I jumped on the mailing list. I even sent the vintage uniforms and first aid kits to help him in his cause. I was so excited to see the box on my doorstep today I couldn't contain myself. I can now proudly say I have a copy of the original prototype. Right down to the box! Man this is sweet! I have to admit, I will be swapping out the Cotswold body and boots for a vintage Hasbro body, I think I have enough slotted shoulders in my spares to make a sweet old prototye even sweeter and older!
Thanks to Greg Brown for mailing this to me. It will have a place of honor. David Howard's paint job is flawless, the box that Jay Cosenza made is also top notch! All around home run folks!
