I started like most of ye here as a kid about 4 or 5 . I remember one of my first was the cobra officer and i think wet suit was there too. but i hadn't bought a new joe from the as of 15 to my 20's then saw them in the local toy shop VvV line and picked up a few chars it wasn't till I found this place about 2 years ago and saw the amazing pics here and on flickr that i got back into them in a big way its taken me just 2 years to amass the sizable forces you see in my pics . most of the figures i had from my childhood was gone or broken.

Playworld.. there was one in New Orleans. This is where I bought my first Joe, Breaker. Reason was I knew I wouldn't have the money to buy a lot more--of the two other friends in the neighborhood, I didn't have many Star Wars figures, so I knew I wouldn't have bunch of Joes compared to them. So Breaker was a strategic buy--I knew the other kids were going to get Grunt, Stalker, etc, but they will need a communication expert to coordinate everything, even spy on enemies. So Breaker was a way for me to stay in the heart of all the action, even without a gun.
