Whoa, thanks for that Deak. I might get copies of the less washed out version printed out for my sister and myself.

 

[DPrime]

Wow, I had forgotten how almost exactly alike the Robin Hood one was to the original... If you like Ewoks, might be a good idea to get both for a good ROTJ setup.

Like I said though, I don't know where I'd put mine... Gotta keep the focus on GI Joe! But maybe...

one for the weekend...

i'm having flashbacks to X-mas mornings.

 

[Skiman]

That is the exact f'n costume

I wore that thing all over the place, nothing like dressing up as an ewok and running around in the forest

A couple years ago I found a picture of me wearing a kickass wicket T-Shirt (one of those vintage iron-on looking shirts) and another with a plush wicket and ewok baby sticking out of my backpack I was crazy for those damn things.

And the topper; yesterday my wife got a bunch of vintage style T-shirts for my 6 month old daughter from Old Navy; and one of them had Wicket on it

I had that one. I also had a Destro costume. But I was Michaelangelo (Ninja Turtle) 3 or 4 years straight. Even won best costume award one year for the custom styrofoam turtle shell my dad made.

I was always disappointed that I could only find/be Grunt from the Joe's I should of went the custom costume route.

One year I was Flint, but of course, the costume was all homemade. I went to the army surplus store and picked up a green beret for it.

I probably would of had a heart attack if costumes like that SE that surfaced earlier this year were available back then.

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, some of the new stock costumes are pretty badass... and others could easily be upgraded to be more awesome

Craw beats Starkiller.

See above.

one for the weekend...

You SOB, yeah this guy's got the goods fellas. :chew

 

[CelticWarrior]

Man motu really nailed it being able to capture the imagination with the amazing artwork back in the day, no wonder im such a fantasy geek now that box was/is pure awesomness!

 

[Skiman]

 

[The Craw]

that optimus prime in the box is giving me major flashbacks. i'm talking major. that was the toy to have back in the day. too bad they don't make TF's like they used to.

 

[MadCow]

That is a huge grail for me. I saw about 10 of them at the toy show this weekend but couldn't' bring myself to spend that much right now.

I'll be posting my hauls shortly.

A thing of beauty Ski, looks real nice.
