That's an excellent 1980s display! FUN FACT: I'm actually finishing up Treading The Tommyknockers right now and there is a reference to G.I. Joe figures in the book, with Crystal Ball and Snake Eyes being specifically named. Crystal Ball seems out of left field as a mention but King and possibly his son, Owen, helped to develop the figure in some way.
Awesome little nugget of info there ,BBQ 👍 I remember my sister taking me to the store to buy Crystal Ball. She told me he looked a little like Vincent Price. At the time I had no clue who he was but now I see the resemblance!
Sweet display!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing Warpath and Powerglide. I remember having both of those guys sitting on my toy shelf as a kid.
