Welcome to the amazing collection of Dan Atchison Owner: Dan Atchison, St. Peters, Missouri E-mail: characterstolife@yahoo.com, Website: n/a Greetings from Missouri! I've been into GIjOEs since 1964. Soon after, my mom bought me my first Adventure Team Commander. That was my favorite childhood Joe. I started collecting them again as an adult in the past year, and I plan to save them all for my little ones when they grow up. Currently, I'm a medically retired LAPD police officer living in Missouri. I'm not a GIjOE expert but these guys seem to bring back a good part of my childhood and my little girls (especially my 6 year old) love the Adventure Team animals as well. I had a collection of WW2 joes and figures for a while, but did not like them as much as the AT Joes, so I sold them all off. I hope you enjoy the pictures of my collection and dioramas! ---Dan Atchison Holy Pyramids! Check out this GIANT play area and diorama. And check out the cool lighting that lures you inside! Dan tells us, "The pyramid is constructed of Styrofoam and setup in a section of my garage." Pull back and you see the Nile river, a scale wooden dock, tied-up rescue raft and well-placed reeds all along the river bank. How fantastic is THIS? Dan tells us, "The water area is actually a liquid plastic (found in a local hobby shop) poured over a painted base." Dan clearly has a good eye for setting up his displays. Here, an Afro-Adventurer mans his communications outpost, while another has just discovered a Mummy's Tomb...somewhere in the Sahara. Cool! Fun underwater setup showing a Deep Sea Diver, Sea Wolf submarine and a great underwater backdrop. Pan to the left and you see that this diorama is larger than first thought, revealing a full-size boat and an orange-suited scuba diver! Elsewhere, a peek inside Dan's "hospital" reveals it is fully stocked and ready for any emergency. A closeup of a table shows Dan's collection of miniature 1/6th scale medical accessories. Look at the scissors and hypo. WOW! This wall displays a fully appointed AT headquarters set, numerous AT Joes and a lineup of AT animals. Dan tells us, "The headquarters diorama is set up in my front room." Thanks for sharing these photos Dan! And Don't Miss...
