Check out Cotswold Collectibles. They have a license to produce reproduction figures and they sell the AT dogtags, sholder holsters, and AT stickers. They have a ton of other stuff in 1:6 scale to kitbash your Joes. The only thing is, you will have to paint the scar on yourself. They sell the figures with flocked hair, or you can buy just the head. (Somehow that will end up in the quote thread). I made a bunch of customs by picking up used figures and changing out the heads. There are some pics of them in one of the threads here in "AT is needed".

Thanks Fuzzhead! I accualy already tried eBay Templar, and their way too high for me.

EDIT: WHOA! i just checked that Cotsworld Collectibles website, and they are pretty expensive.. higher than eBay, even! Is it GijoeElite.com, Fuzzhead? cause, thats the site that pulled up when i went there.. and they are pretty expensive.

Perhaps someone on here would be willing to part with one of their Adventure Team Joes? I really like the Land Adventurer.. the Wal-mart one, i seen him there once before but it was awhile back, and I wasn't exactly "Into" Adventure team then.

If anyones willing to part with one of their Adventure Team guys, I have some 12" Gi joes(newer).. mostly from the Spy Troops line, and some others.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

ANOTHER EDIT: I just looked at the different style hands thats on these 12" guys, and i'd much rather have the "Classic" style hands, than the Kung Fu Grip..

Sorry for the late post here. Walmart had the best deal recently with what you are looking for. Back when these came out, I combed the Walmarts here in the Sacramento area and didn't find a single Walmart 12" AT Joe. I asked the toy managers/stockers at all of the stores and not one of them knew what I was talking about. It was very frustrating because these things were going for $9.99 I believe. You may find them on Ebay in a full set for a decent price, but single ones are being sold for big profits for sure by the scalpers.

Unfortunately, you and I missed the boat on these.

Oh, you may try Ebay for beater AT Joes. Find cheap ones that have flocked hair in rough shape, which usually means a cheaper price, and then send them to one of those Joe shops that "reflock" the hair.

Good luck and happy hunting!

Yes sir, thats the one.

Yo Eye of Agamotto(Hope i didn't spell that wrong).
I did see a couple of those Wal-mart AT sets, pretty sure they were both Land Adventurer.. and I am pretty sure they were $10 each, pretty good price.. but I didn't pick them up, and i regret it now :(..

Hey logan. I don't know if you have checked the clearance section of your local walmart, but I check mine when I go and I found a gijoe adventure for $5 and this was just a couple of weeks ago so keep your eye out they are there somewhere.

Thanks for the info, Destro, but the closest KB Toys is about an 1 and a half drive.. and, I don't think my parents want to drive that far for one toy :P
