GI Joe: Reflocked!
I recently had these 5 figures re-flocked professionally by Flock Concepts and have been very pleased with the results! The flock jobs on these figures are waterproof ( I have tested this claim already and found it to be true) and seems to be very resistant to rubs. I highly recommend them!
From left to right:
1) This figure began life as a spare vintage Land Adventurer head I had lying around after using his body to complete my Bulletman figure. I experimented with reflocking him myself, then decided to have it done professionally and make him into an Action Man Adventurer by putting him on a Cotswold body.
2) Began life as the Timeless Collection Man of Action that came with the "Black Spider Rendezvous" set. He is wearing a vintage uniform from "Secret Mission to Spy Island". Unfortunately, the flocking on the Timeless Collection figures is rather poor and his hair started to rub off after putting on/removing the rubber cap that comes with the Spy island set a few times. Bored with having so many identical MOA figures I decided to have him reflocked as a blonde.
3) A figure I acquired a number of years ago in a trade with 8 Skeins of Danger. It is an attempt at a reproduction "Hard Hands" Man of Action since the GI Joe Collector's Club never saw fit to come out with one. It is a Timeless Collection head on a 40th Anniversary body. His hair was starting to thin in the front whenever his cap was removed, so he had to get flocked too.
4) "Wal Mart' Man of Action from 2007. These figures were great deal for the price. But unfortunately after only a few years and very light play, mine have already started to shed their hair, revealing painted hair beneath.
5) "Wal Mart" Land Adventurer. I have him dressed in the style of the vintage German "Hard Rock" character. Like the other Wal Mart Adventure Team figure I have, his hair was starting to shed, so he needed a good reflock. I had him lay it on nice and thick to give him more of a vintage feel.
