Since the introduction of the Masterpiece Edition reproductions G.I. Joe action figures, I spent nearly 15 years trying to replicate the original line of vintage Hasbro G.I. Joe action figures using various pieces from Timeless Collection, 40th Anniversary Edition, Cotswold Collectibles, G.I. Joe Collector's Club, and Action Man 40th Anniversary Line. As you can see in the photos, I put together some sets that looked brand spanking new as I kitbashed. My original intention for putting together these repros was because I never thought 15 years ago that I would be able to acquire vintage pieces. Well, some things have changed in my life and I would like to sell this batch in one big lot. This is an excellent starter set for someone to reproduce many of the original vintage Hasbro G.I. Joe figures without spending 10 times the amount. I will do the best that I can to describe all 39 reproduction G.I. Joe action figures. (These are not pre-1980 vintage figures. These are Timeless Collection and/or 40th Anniversary G.I. Joe figures with reproduction uniforms and gear for the most part.) Australian Jungle Fighter (TC + replacement GI Joe Collector's Club short brown boots)German Stormtrooper (This is a GI Joe Collector's Club blond European figure taken from The Battle of Kursk exclusive set. The repro uniform is 40th Anniversary Action Man. The black jack boots are Cotswolds)Russian Soldier (This is a GI Joe Collector's Club blond European figure taken from The Battle of Kursk exclusive set. The repro uniform is 40th Anniversary Action Man. The black jack boots are Cotswolds)Action SailorNavy Attack with .30 machine gun and 40th blue attack helmetAnnapolis Cadet (FAO exclusive on 40th body)Shore Patrol (the left arm has damage at elbow and is taped underneath uniform)Navy Attack with orange life preserver and semaphore flagsNavy Attack with yellow life preserver and cloth capFrogmanBreeches Buoy (The yellow slicker has USN on the chest.

Fantastic set.)Medic with all the pieces including flag and stretcherBeachhead Assault MarineMarine CommunicationsMarine FlamethrowerMarine ParatrooperMarine Tank Commander (uses 40th Anniversary Action Man pieces to replicate the 1968 set. I'm also including a vintage Tank Commander orange stencil ammo box.

The blue AS helmet is a repro from Cotswold Collectibles. The AS radio is a custom piece. Black radio with black leather. The A.S. is a fake stencil... it isn't perfect but easily deceives the eye.)Air Policeman (Also uses a Cotswold A.P. repro helmet. The gray radio is actually vintage piece that had some flaws and was fixed. This isn't perfect, but it fools the eye.)Air Sea Rescue (This is actually a 40th Anniversary Prototype that I bought from someone in 2004 from Hong Kong. This is the unproduced figure!!!!! The orange rubber is perfect.)Fighter Pilot (I belive this is mostly KAyBee exclusive. I don't think he voice box works)Scramble Pilot (40th)African-American / Black / Negro Action Soldier Combat Construction with jackhammer, orange construction helmet, gray gloves and theodolite tripod construction engineer piece (these are 40th Anniversary Action Man imports on a 40th figure.

(40th)Action Solider with jacket and backpack Please look at the photos closely. I did my best to describe them, but you may contact me if you have questions. This auction is for the entire lot. PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT ME to ask that I break this set up for certain pieces. I want to sell the whole kit-and-kaboodle to a lucky collector or perhaps help jumpstart someone's collection, I'm collecting vintage pieces now and I can finally let these go to someone else to enjoy now. These come from a smoke free home and have gently stood on the shelves for years. Some of these pieces would probably sell for $100 just for one of them. I'm going to start the auction off with an average of these being almost $25 a piece, though I paid much more for each of them. This auction DOES NOT INCLUDE action figure stands. Sorry. I will ship these figures carefully in probably two or three boxes. I will have delivery confirmation and insurance.
