Being a little older I started off as a kid with the 12" Adventure Team figures and vehicles (the Secret of the Mummy's Tomb was my favourite set) which I enjoyed for years. But then as I got a little older like alot of people I chucked 'em all out (idiot!). Then one day in '87 I walked into K-Mart and saw the new smaller Joes (that was when they first came out here) and bought a couple for old times sake - and was instantly hooked. Then I found my first comic (Special Missions #1 - still a great read!) and got hooked on that. The cartoon only showed sporadically here so I never saw much of that. A small fortune and many years later and I still love my Joes!
