During the anti-war time, GI Joe switched to making "Adventure" series, so I couldn't get war-theme anymore.

Here is the Secret Agent, along with his briefcase with sniper rifle and some added papers I drew as a kid to add play value.

Also some other random extra equipment.

Here is the jungle, desert, snow uniforms and equipment, as well as as the pilot that has the chute that was suposed to open (never did and just dropped like a rock!)

That's all great stuff - thx for sharing. I had the Ski patrol set - also the deep sea diver with weighted boots.. I remember sending one of my joes for a "deep sea" dive and of course the first thing that happened was his helmet filled up with water. I had 2 GI Joes, Johnny West and Thunderbolt, Sgt. Stony and Daniel Boone. All of this was towards the end of my childhood toy years... I was 12 I think and still enjoying it all, but was starting to take a lot of heat from my parents about still playing with toys... It was about the time I got interested in Aurora HO slot cars - so the transition wasn't too bad... Seems slot cars were more acceptable back then (and probably now for that matter).

Anyway, thx again. I'll try to shoot a photo or two of the one GI Joe I have (i don't think he even has a complete set of gear and my the wooden footlocker.

Jim: Here are some Johnny West characters my children had when they were kids. Thought I would take some pics when I found them in a box. Johnny West, Josie West, Capt. Maddox, Custer and others. He also has many accessory parts. The older GI Joes were stolen in a burglary years ago. Leadmen

Oh man, I had a bunch of Johnny West stuff as a kid! I even had some knights (one black and 1 silver with matching armored horses) I think were made by the same people. They were among my favorite toys (I have a picture of myself on my 5th birthday in a cowboy suit holding my brand new silver knight). Thanks for the memories!
