Ciao from Italy!
I received my first GIjOE when
I was only 5 years old, in the faraway time of 1966. He was an
"Action Soldier" and I was very proud of him and I
grew up playing 1,000 battles with my buddy. I only had that
one GIjOE during my childhood and when I reached my teens I forgot
about him .
While moving out from my parents home in 1987, I found a box
covered in dust in their basement. I opened it up and there I
found my buddy inside--still strong and in good shape! It was
just like to find a missing brother from 15 years earlier. It
was a blast to me!
I also found a destroyed catalog folder and then realized that
there were many more uniforms and gear than I knew, so I decided
to collect them ALL and I started collecting GIjOE on that day
24 years ago.
Now, I only collect 1964-1969 "golden era" military
Joe figures, uniforms, gear and vehicles (loose or MIB). My collection
is now the biggest and most complete in Europe to my knowledge,
missing only few very rare boxed sets. But the hunt is not ended
yet!
Wishing the best to my fellow GIjOE and Action Man collectors
all around the world!
