THIS was the creme del la creme of toys, oh how i wish i still had this, my friend Marc still has his pristine AND still in it&#8217;s original box (Adam if you&#8217;re reading this .. here is a *hint* for my next birthday) i used to be mad on collecting action figures, i had them all GI Joe (with REAL beard) Action Jackson and hottest of all &#8216;Big Jim&#8217;, man he was one handsome piece of plastic, there was a bearded model or a clean shaven one, i of course went for the clean shaven one, i even tried to shave my bearded GI Joe with TRAGIC results, it looked as if he&#8217;d been attacked by a razor blade wielding maniac .. which i guess in a way he was. Do you think it&#8217;s possible for a kid to have a crush on an action figure? Big Jim still looks pretty good for something that sprung from a Mattel mould.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/5433\/55\/1600\/2538.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/5433\/55\/320\/2538.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/5433\/55\/1600\/j001.0.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/5433\/55\/320\/j001.0.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/5433\/55\/1600\/j002.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/5433\/55\/320\/j002.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/5433\/55\/1600\/j003.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/5433\/55\/320\/j003.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scanning ebay and the toys on there i came across two toys that were my absolute favorites to recieve when i was a kid, the first being a &#8216;Shaker Maker&#8217; where you got to make junket\/jelly like wobbly statues which &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tammytingles.com\/?p=828\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[460,97,459,306,321,360,488,246,458,361,434,318,445,310,45,362,469,35,468,273,36,504,470],"class_list":["post-828","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-adelaide","tag-australia","tag-brisbane","tag-camp","tag-dna-magazine","tag-fair-day","tag-food","tag-gay","tag-gold-coast","tag-guys","tag-kings-cross","tag-lesbian","tag-lost-gay-sydney","tag-mardi-gras","tag-melbourne","tag-men","tag-movies","tag-newtown","tag-porn","tag-retro","tag-sydney","tag-toys","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tammytingles.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/828","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tammytingles.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tammytingles.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tammytingles.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tammytingles.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=828"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.tammytingles.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/828\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3823,"href":"https:\/\/www.tammytingles.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/828\/revisions\/3823"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tammytingles.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=828"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tammytingles.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=828"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tammytingles.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=828"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
