I always say there is nothing more satisfying than saving a toy from the tip. I'm sure repairing those old Joes has cost me more than they are worth, but they look great and they are being played with again
What is the case you are displaying AM in? That's a brilliant idea.

You can get them from Modellers Loft as well. If only I had the room.......

Hi chopper,
pauls right i got the case from modellersloft when i ordered some action force figures,
the case is ok its not of excellent quality but for £8 you get what you pay for, it will certainly do for the time being till i can afford one of a higher quality...or get a display cabinet
