All parts: Lone Ranger (The Legends of the Lone Ranger line, Gabriel)


I was six years old when the ARAH version of GI Joe was released in 1982. From that point on, I was a GI Joe fan above all else. As much as I loved Transformers and was interested in nearly every other toyline of the 80s, it was always GI Joe at the top. But the Joes were not my first 3-3/4" action figures. Before these Joes existed, I played with a variety of other toys of that scale, but they fell by the wayside when Snake-Eyes came on the scene. This project is intended to pay respect to these old toys, to restore some beat-up action figures and give them nice paint jobs, to let them know that they're still deserving of love too.

Like a number of figures in this project, the detail in the sculpt of this figure is actually quite good. You can tell whoever sculpted it took some pride in their work, and did a good job. The paint just adds some extra detail and brings the figure closer in appearance to the film on which the toyline was based.
