Cotswold Jake compared to GI Joe Talking Astronaut
The Talking Astronaut is a genuine vintage head on a reproduction talker body from the GI Joe Collector's Club.
Compare it to the Cotswold "Jake" head:
The flocking is a great match (better than on many recent Hasbro Air Adventurer reproductions), as is the face aside from the obvious lack of a facial scar. I plan to get some sculpey and make a scar to glue to this head to rectify that.
The main differences to me in the face sculpt seem to be that Jake has more pronounced bags under his eyes and his upper lip isn't as prominent as Joe's is. Jake also has a bit of white highlights in his eyes as opposed to Joe's somewhat dazed look.
