I saw this on the news the other day, a RI native and creator of the first original 12 inch GI Joe figures is auctioning off his original wooden prototypes.
I told my hubby and he knows what a GI Joe freak I am and said oh really how much? I laughed and said we would never be able to afford it.
The first original in the Army suit the auctioning will start at 600,000.
The next 2, the sailor and the scuba diver will each start at 100,000.
To be auctioned in July , in Texas.
My husband said I'm sorry, I was bummed! I have quite a few.
I bought a 24 inch soldier for my son Sebastian, he was so life like. We took all of the weapons and little pieces away so they wouldn't get lost. Sebastian called him his best friend, the toy was almost as tall as he was.
