Blood for the Baron!

I love all these stories!

I defonitly chose because of the perceived value for money..those seemed pretty expensive, when they first came out, & seemed to have a much better/bigger accesory than the others available in the shop's selection @ the time, plus he also kinda reminded me a bit of Judge Dredd.

Every other Palitoy I got were from the sales bins after Habro's hit the shops.
I picked up a fair few because they were my fave' charecters featured in the Marvel comic reprints of the U.S stories...I spent an age looking for to partner

I remember going to Bolton and buying Destro for my birthday I was torn between him and Buzzer but chose Destro because of his chromed battle mask and I actually used him as Red Jackal before I knew of the actual toy connection between the two.

I just remembered, my first GI Joe figure was the Viper in 1986, a friend had moved to the US for a while and he brought me back the figure as a present. That was sound!

well if were going for it, i know my first Action Man ie not second hand was a rubber suited space ranger (i loved it so much) 25 years later i got my second, my first flirtation with mult-jointed was a wolverine and hunter and my first trip to hasbro towers was a Bazooka.

I had a pilot in blue jumpsuit with the orange stripes as my first action man I used to love the eagle eyes feature on him.

Snap!

I've recreated mine from 100% vintage ingredients:

Yes that was him T-shot

My first VAM was a Toltoys basic, then I got about 3 or 4 uniforms (front liners) and the Dukw. Because of the cost of the things I didn't get a lot more than that for a long time. Still had awesome fun with him though.

It was VAM for me first then AF when they came along. My first figure was Skip.
