Well, I knew when these came out I should have picked them up on the cheap. Oh, well. I finally got a Dreams and Vision's Ground Combat set to go with my Sgt. Rock GIjOE figure. For those folks that don't know DC Comics teamed up with Hasbro Toys to make some fantastic characters from the old comic books. These did not sell all that great, but still show up on ebay from time to time. Dreams and Visions was the company.

I did some research, and D&V did some other Joes, specifically a special run of 'Crew Cut' Joes. Same face as the 1960's but with unique hair, and in a box, recreated from the 1960's. All new accessories, with an amazing amount of detail. I added the Navy Ordnance handler to my collection, now I need the other 3 from this series. Man, I must have been asleep when these came out! I guess I was collecting vintage stuff, and not really watching the modern era stuff that close.

Yeah, I've got to get a couple of their "Crew Cut" Joes. Especially the Air Force MP. That's the only one I've seen that comes with the Smith & Wesson M1917 service revolver.
