85 was the last get Joes and Play year for me and my Co-Joe buddy...
I found my Alpine in my 20s up in the beams of my childhood home, the heat had melted his o-ring to nothing...I think I still have his pieces...have to take a look!
I was a little displeased with the mid section of Alpine and Footloose...too big!
Great Figures though...
I also remember the ferret and Tomax and Xamot being an Awesome Combination!
A perfect fit in all aspects!
And we were also lucky enough to acquire the Awe Striker! what a revelation in small vehicle design!
So jr high ended serious Joe play...but for some reason we had to stay at my buddy's grandparents...so I grabbed the Awe and Crank Case and The ferret with Tomax and Xamot....about 10 years ago they hired me to fix up that house to sell it.
When cleaning out the basement I found this:

the figs and ferret were mia...but this really warmed my heart...
My buddy's extensive collection went to a kid his dad met...he was pissed, but what the hell....Mine (mostly 82-84) were worn out, blown up, or with the large collection that was given away!
on a side note, propably in 94, my buddy said I got a few things to sell...
A huge Lion robot man Godaikin....a moog synth....and an in the box G-1 Megatron!
Still have the moog and Megatron!
