One of the coolest G.I. Joe accessories that I recall from childhood is the Turbo Copter. Basically it was a one-man helicopter backpack.
Recently a Brazilian company reissued the Turbo Copter (as Turboćoptero) along with a figure.
I was very close to ordering that set, until Cotswold parted out the set, with the backpack selling separately.
I had an idea for something more than a basic Adventure Team figure to go with this: why not a Cybernetic Explorer?

The first television show that was ‘appointment TV’ for me was The Six Million Dollar Man.
To this day, it still has the best opening credits sequence, even better than Star Trek.
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!
