Nice, they are tough, I found a loose one at a sale and used the parts in a custom but it had no hat /boots, great find Paul! We love when you bust them open!
This was a hard one to find. Dad only found 1 at an off Wal-Mart back in the early 2000's. There were 2 versions, the Caucasian redhead buzzcut, and their v1 latino head. Hasbro was spitting out 12 inch Joes by the dozen at the time and the stores were more picky with what they were stocking. This figure in particular was an odd item to stock, because he wasn't the "value" price point, but also was not their deluxe boxed figure. Very awesome figure; one of Hasbro's most creative at the time!
Thanks for sharing, I am a retired policeman. Years ago I would pick Police related items now and then . I thought I had this one, but when I checked I don't. Mine is the U. S. Marshal/12 inch. Never have seen many of them either. Thanks again sir, good luck.
@@paulknappcollections I agree very hard. Also hard to even get an idea of value. I am not a collector, No idea of where to look. Thanks for your reply Paul.
I saw a loose one of these on shopgoodwill. He was missing most of the stuff he had and it came with some other loose figures. I almost bid on it but I dropped out of it. It ended up going for like $30
Has anyone noticed that these “12-inch” Joes are actually 10.5 inches? Does it bother you? It bothers me because they often look ridiculous in most of their clothes, which were made for actual 12 inch figures.
@@paulknappcollections Probably not many. They most likely don’t even care. i only noticed it in 2018, roughly a year after i started collecting Joes. Once i noticed it, i began giving all my new Joes Hall of Fame bodies. They have limited articulation now, but they look very impressive in their uniforms and other kinds of clothing.
Hey I have like around 6 12' figures and a bunch of accessories and weapons. But I don't really which figures they belong to. Do you have somewhere that I can reach you to send you pics may you could help me.
Well if they are 1964-1976 vintage stuff then James DeSimones book is the one you want. If its Hasbro from 1991-2013 then look at my older videos where I review the figures that came out each year. Don't think anyone has made a reference guide yet for those years.
@@stevensanchez1561 Well I have a few on my wish list that are over 200.00 now. Ones like John R Fox 2004, Volunteer Firefighter 2002, Smoke Jumper 2000 and Powersaw Firefighter 2000 just to name a few.
Only one person for sure that would be Derryl DePriest. Great question. There is a website called The Beachhead. Has almost all figures listed and the SKU #s. check it out.
@@paulknappcollections Great info. Thank you Paul. I figured that it could affect scarcity. I a WWII General Officer African American knowing that they weren't yet making that rank.
