fuzzhead buddies sittin' in a chair

From my very first recorded diorama back in October 1999. The GI Joe Adventure Team is ready for action!

The GI Joe Sea Adventurer checks in with Headquarters during a trek through the jungle.

...from a couple weeks ago when they were a bit fuzzier.

The Sea Adventurer and Land Adventurer are on a backyard patrol in their Empire Toys Jeep. This would have been what my Adventure Team ground transportation looked like in 1975. The Sea Adventurer is wearing a "knockoff" LJN Jungle Outpost uniform.

The GI Joe Adventure Team check out a strange noise that is coming from the tree line.

The GI Joe Sea Adventurer is sporting equipment from the LJN Jungle Outpost set.

So it’s been about 4 years since I got my first Fuzzhead Action Man figures and while I did clean them up, there wasn’t much help in cleaning the dust from their flock thoroughly. The best response I got was tweezers and a pin to comb out the flock but that left a lot of stuff in.

That and it being several years since I got them, I really wanted to see if I could clean the fuzz a bit deeper. So, I got a soft toothbrush and gently brushed out the dust and hair and junk, using tape to pick up the remaining stuff.

Surprisingly all my fuzzheads look much glossier and newer despite the missing patches of hair now heh.

How many hours wasted/enjoyed playing?

The Sea Adventurer finds himself tripping through a patch of Marigolds. That funny smell does have a purpose, he thinks to himself.

I've appointed this Joe as the new AT Commander.

He was originally the Tactical Advisor with original short flocked hair and the hispanic head mold.

First real Snowfall here in NH, had to snap a few Joe shots. Joe is sporting the Custom ski poles I made this summer.

Custom Ski pole features:

Real leather hand grips & baskets

Solid steel pole shafts

Braded nylon cord hand straps

A knitted project for Joe.

GI Joe sports an LJN Mr. Action knockoff uniform from the 1970's. I'm not sure what its proper name was, so I'll dub it Alpine Rescue Uniform. It comes with a nice looking ice pick and white boots. A must have set for any adventurer planning trips to high reaches of the mountains.

If you have a cat, and a plastic head missing a body, you know what to do!

Mike Powers aka the Atomic Man is attacked by a Pygmy Gorilla and several Intruders during the Summer of 1976. Mike Powers was later found beaten and bruised from the attack. The ATV and other equipment remained missing. Atomic Mike was demoted to KP duty and had to pay back the GI Joe Adventure Team for his cowardice and loss of company property.

GI Joe is skiing through some deep powder in the Colorado mountains. He's wearing a vintage LJN Mr. Action ski set from 1972. The skis and poles are from a vintage Mego Fighting Yank set.
