OMG I had a some of the those toys, they were my favorite ones and the Action Team toys I got from my neighbor that was older then me. So i had a good mix of the the two and the vehicles. I don't remember them falling apart or breaking, but they did run afoul of my sisters dog when I went away on a camping trip and got chewed up. So after that I gave them a good send off with firecrackers. My mom felt bad and I got them replaced with Micronauts.
Good memories, I got luminous on Christmas of 77, then I got super Joe colander, my lil brother got shield, my other brother got the African American , in 87 I moved to Los Angeles California, and I left all my g I joes including my super Joe and my brothers figure in boxes, went back home in 93 when I asked for my stuff my bro told me our youngest sister cleaning and threw everything in the trash, I won't say here what I wanted to do to my sis, but it involves wrestling moves I learned when I was a wrestler or luchador, well I'm sure lots of collectors have similar stories. By the way I saw a video were a gentleman took 12 inch figure and recreated super joes, I think it's called skunk works or something like that. thank you for for the video and good memories, now I teach my grandson about collecting and all those toys that made us happy in the 70s.
I had the Shield guy, my nephew had the Darkon green guy. His lightning sword fell down the shower brick wall in our old house. It's still there on W.82 in Cleveland if anyone needs it. That is unless the people who live there now, tore it down.
Totally awesomeness. Thanks for sharing Brother. It's very Cool You sharing Your passion for Vintage action figures. I don't remember these figures. The clear one looks something like a Toy figure I kind of remember. Between Him and a giant micronaut action figure 😀👍♥️🇺🇸🇨🇦🇬🇧🌎🎉🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉💯💯
I never heard of super Joe well thank you for the information and everything and happy that you got your super Joe bigger back together or at least back to where you enjoyable condition
My first figure was Gorr from my Neighbor at christmas and then Santa got me Shield. Later I got a Super Joe from a friend, and then much later i got a Darkon at a yard sale with no pants and no helmet, just boots and lightning bolt. That was it. I always thought Shield was related to the Micronauts Time Travelor, and wish i had Luminous who was totally a huge version of a Time Travelor. Now that i have NEO HENSHIN CYBORG I can tell where they got their inspiration. I sure do wish Hasbro would just put-out a gift-set of these; maybe a Haslab...but they won't . My fave Joe line will never exist again. oh, clothing? i had the silver suit with the clamper claw to grab the kryptonite (at least that's what we thought he was getting) and some red suit, black sleeves, and a swirly disc on his chest. So, i had 4 figures and 2 outfits. The red suit went to Joe, and the Black suit went to Darkon (because red and green looked silly)
Great video ! Thanks for making the effort, at the end, to describe exactly how you strung the whole figure together. I use the straw method. But would like to add the elastic string . Just to secure the figure better. The straw method works to put them together. But even just posing them on the display shelf, they fall out at the hips. I get tired off having to plug them back together . I loved Super Joe as a kid ! I was a 70s kid. With Star Wars and the space toys marketing from the toy blitz SW got going. So Super Joe was a perfect fit. The line was like Star Trek in Mego figure scale. I never got the Brown Mego Gorn figure. But Gor was a way better lizard bad guy to have for me. I had SJ Commander, Shield and Terron back in the day. I think I was pretty lucky.
interesting video. I don't have the money/skill/shelf space to seriously get into action figure collecting, but am obsessed with this GI Joe team and the the other super Joe team, with Bullet man. So, it was nice to get the bit of nostalgia and history, along with some practical info. Loved those guys as a kid, as well as the one page comic story ads.
Cool looking at them but I think you have to have personal nostalgia for them considering the level of repair needed. Very strange Hasbro had this many breaks being such an experienced toy company. Gor is pretty cool though. ;)
I never had a super Joe but I can't deny he looks cool , I have 2 in my collection but the one I have complete the light doesn't turn on . wish there was a way to fix it .
This is great! Any way I can send you mine for repair lol. Your technique seems to involve a steep learning curve. I’ve tried the straw method and it just isn’t up to my liking.
There is a better way the answer is using other action figures joints i repaired bullet man he also suffers with deteriorating joints and looking for compatible components for SJ
So they had repair guides to fix this guy all the way in 1977?? these toys must've sucked hard if they broke that easy I say that im thinking solely as a kid not an adult collector as an adult I kinda dig him and I wish I owned Terron The Beast From Beyond.
Thanks! I have both the bearded and clean cut Super Joe. I also have a working Terron monster.
The thrill of those commercials on a Saturday morning!! Loved my Super Joe !!
I love him too. Thank you for watching.
Wish they would bring these guys back with modern construction
I think someone has, and Cotswald has the uniforms in 1/6 scale.

Great, creative work here! ...and I live about 20 minutes from Kelly's Toy Stop. They're really wonderful folks!
Great restoration video👍 Super Joe was released in UK by PALITOY renamed Commmader Power

@@johnwild8336 keep an coming I want to see more videos, thank You!
Super Joes are back but only two. JOE AND TERON
Glad you put in the repair options!!!
I really want to make a tradition video. I think I could do a better job explaining the process.
@@johnwild8336 I didn't have any trouble following you on this one, but if you did make one... I would gladly watch it!

GI Joe I never heard of this ancient Artifact!
Fantastic video brother !!! Excellent information on restoring these beautiful toys !!!!

Neat'O Brother Thanks for sharing Your passion and adventures ♥️♥️💯💯
Good idea with the clear Elastic
Great work! Very informative and entertaining.
Love, love, love the repair videos!!!
Great job!
interesting video.

Great info
The only way to collect ⭐👍
This is really great man. Glad you were able to get this all figures out. You are doing a lot of collectors a favor with this info.
I am looking for a Luminos to buy. It was a very special toy from my childhood.
Cool looking at them but I think you have to have personal nostalgia for them considering the level of repair needed. Very strange Hasbro had this many breaks being such an experienced toy company. Gor is pretty cool though. ;)
Would rubber tubing work in place of the straws?
I think I have some parts if you are interested. Good Video.
I still have gor.
I never had a super Joe but I can't deny he looks cool , I have 2 in my collection but the one I have complete the light doesn't turn on . wish there was a way to fix it .
cant you just replace the watch battery?
I gave my super Joe to Kelly Toy Shop
I go to Kelly's Toy Shop
What Brand of paint and Brushes you use
i still have mine in baggies, and wish there was a way to fix them...maybe someone can 3D print something for them?
This is great! Any way I can send you mine for repair lol. Your technique seems to involve a steep learning curve. I’ve tried the straw method and it just isn’t up to my liking.
Brilliant John! Gonna try this on my remaining projects!! My only question is what gauge wire did you use for the hook?
20 gauge galvanized steel.
mine never broke, they just decomposed
You forgot Terron the beast from beyond he came out in 1978 though the last year of the line.
There is a better way the answer is using other action figures joints i repaired bullet man he also suffers with deteriorating joints and looking for compatible components for SJ
same problem is w 1978 SPACE ACADEMY FIGURES
Indeed. Thank you for watching.
I just found all my Super joes in a box in my moms attic , are you interested in them ?
i am

Mine broke almost immediately in 1978. Been chasing a solid repair ever since.
3D make the battery Cover
Would you be willing to sell the luminos?
Wasn't weak plastic. It was disinigrating rubber.
Agreed.
