I had that submersible sub thing was a fantastic Christmas gift , also had the deep sea divers suit you put on the figure and could blow into the mouth piece and the bubbles would make him surface.
 
A friend of mine had the space capsule, but he was not allowed to bring it outside ???
When they shrunk them, my sons had tanks, cobra attack choppers, the HQ, the F14 tomcats, and the cobra plane , and single seat copter, and yes I was reliving my youth through them . :)
 
I had a blast with that thing!

That sub was my fav thing for ole Joe....

I only wish I would have kept all that stuff....I had more stuffs for Joe than most...I am sure some of it would bring some collectors some good $....
 
Yupp!!

All that stuffs was good times....

I used all my money I earned when I was a squirt to buy more Joe stuffs....

Every week I was adding something to the collection......And the Matchbox cars...Not as fast n kewl as the HOTWHEELS but I collected the series.....

Same here bro, the match box combine, double bottom dump,
and a dozer . Was really big on the heavy equipment.
 
I had a GI Joe until I got a pellet gun. That was the end of of poor old GI Joe. What was left of him went up in smoke with some homemade gunpowder. There were train tracks behind our house and the sulpher cars would sometimes spill some sulpher. Add some ground up charcoal brickettes and some saltpetre from the drug store and voila homemade gunpowder.
