Head: Star Wars Bossk
Body, arms, legs: Thor Kurse
Chest light: Ret Joe Trooper Backpack
In 1977, with the rising cost of oil and more competition in the Action Figures aisle from companies like Mego, Hasbro introduced a new Joe. No longer 12'' tall, Super Joe stood a mere 8'' tall and still included a form of ''Kung-Fu Grip''. The story of Super Joe would bring him to outer space for even more adventures.
Super Joe came equipped with a light vest that connected to a power pack. The light was a weapon to fight his enemies. Building on the idea of the Intruders, Hasbro introduced a new enemy for Super Joe to fight: The Terrons and their evil leader Gor. He also included a chest light - his ''Destructo Ray - that would emit a red beam and allow him to conquer the Earth.
Super Joe was the last theme of the seventies that I had not tackled during my 50th Anniversary Tribute. I thought this was a good opportunity to add an addendum to the project
