Similar to the Palitoy series one Concept ... mini versions of The original 12" GI Joe series.

Many thanks to Lady Jaye for these chaps.

These are officially my favorite Joes !

Nice! Never seen them before. You should be building up quite the little space set up in Toy Land now are you? How does that capsule fit in with the Orange flashy one for scale?

Very cool indeed Andy. I love the 1994 tribute set! I have the set myself but still on the red backing card. I can't bring myself to open them :(
I've got the pilot (the one in the powder blue outfit) in yellow and the diver in black too.
In fact I just remembered I've got a spare 'yellow' version of the pilot for trade if anyone is interested? It looks like a poor quality plastic though. Maybe a Funkskool version? I'll post a picture if you like.
Well done Andy!

Im getting there, however these will be displayed on opposing shelves !

The orange flashy light capsule is pretty much double the size of this one ...

I'll post a picture of the one from my collection next to the one I have for trade. Hopefully you can see the difference.
Afternoon off eh? How will they cope at the lap dancing club without you today? :-D
