Well, I'm going to show my age here, but what the heck. My first Joes were the old 12" Adventure Team figures I had when I was a kid. When I outgrew them I completely forgot about Joe stuff. Then one day in '86, which was when the 3 3/4" Joes first came out here, I walked into a store and saw "GI Joe" on the shelf, a lot smaller than before, but pretty cool looking. I bought a couple for old time's sake and got hooked from there, eventually going back and spending a fortune picking up most of the early stuff I had missed out on. For a while I was a completist, but now I just buy the stuff I like.
