I never thought of making a super hero out of any of the 12″ GI Joes that I collect. Mike Power and Bulletman were the closest that they made in the actual GI Joe Adventure team line.
So of course I decide to do it with an Action Man figure instead.
I while ago I picked up a GI Joe figure from Cotswold Collectibles with the Asian headsculpt, but as an Adventure Team Fuzzhead. I called him Karateman, and had him in a black/yellow bodysuit, the reverse of Bruce Lee, but I later learned is the same design as the old 8″ Super Joe Commander outfit.
The one thing I was not satisfied with were the cavalry boots that I got for the figure; they seemed too high. So I went and bought a pair of jack boots for him.
Time to make the switch!
Whoops…
A little wiggling got the left boot off the foot
Finished!
I think he looks better in the shorter boots
But wait! What’s this? Whose outfit is this?
We’ll find out later today!

Is the current popularity of Star Wars sapping away my interest in Star Trek? Or is it the debacle that is Star Trek Discovery?

Also, Target for Today ships on May 29th.
At lunch yesterday Nelson mentioned that his son had asked if he’d been shown Wargames, starring Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy.
Nels said that he had, many years ago, but at the time his son found it slow and asked to watch something else.
I thought about it afterwards, and it had been a while since I had seen it.
I turned on the TV this morning, and guess what was on BBC America?
