  • Crazy thing happened to me... Gijoe surprise!

    Anyhow after looking at Myles_Falworth thread I realized I do not have a Talking Man of Action or a Talking astronaut in my Adventure Team collection... hummmm
    Yesterday I went upstairs and got my Santa Joe out of the closet to get ready for Christmas...( I got my Santa Joe from BUCK years ago...)

    The entire Santa Joe legs was so loose he no longer will stand so I took the Santa suit off to see what I could do...Well the elastic needs changed so I ordered a re-string kit...
    BUT the best thing is Santa Joe is a blonde haired Talking Man of Action which says Army phrases when he talks... The blonde head sculp has glue on its face
    that I can not get off...

    Should I buy a Man of Action head with brown hair??? Or just keep on this blonde head for a Talking Man of Action???

    I would keep him blonde, but that's just me.

            Very cool find! I got a Talking MOA in a large set I bought from Ebay a while back. He was in perfect condition (hard hands too) but had a broken string. I had Scott Wilde put a new talker string in him, and now he's good as new. Never thought I'd have one of these either, but then I did!

                      I only have 2 Talkers and both are AT Commanders. One wasn't talking very good, but was able to fix him during one of the chats during Joe-A-Thon around 20 years ago. Haven't tested them in awhile. May have to drag them out. I also have a couple of the club Lost Talkers. Didn't get them all though and I kinda regret it now.
