This year’s GI Joe Club 12″ Membership Figure is the Arcane Adventurer!
Which I’m naming “Harry”.
Behold!
New Figure
The GI Joe Collector’s Club incentive figure arrived, and his accessory set is on it’s way.
This is the Man of Mysteries, or the Arcane Adventurer. He has a glow-in-the-dark katana, and the other gear and outfit pictured.
He came dressed like this:
This is the accessory set:
So, what’s a good name for an Arcane Adventurer, similar to Constantine or Kolchak or Mulder?
CC 2.0
I decided to get one of those ‘muscle body’ Geyperman figures for my custom hero guy that I created.
Hero
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.
Karateman
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!
