OK my parents were gardening and found this...      I at first thought it could be a Star Brigade foot. However I couldn't ID it. The weird part is that before my parents moved in this was a corn field. This is a brand new subdivision. It sure isn't one of mine. The kids on either side aren't old enough. So I have no idea how something like this would show up there. |

I'm not recognizing it. It looks like the entire leg was red with black boots. It's not a HISS Driver. What GIJOE figures had all red legs with black boots? If we eliminate that, then what similar lines (knock-offs) might have used it. |

It's not GI Joe...based on the recessed bottom of the foot with "China" and the hexagonal peg hole. |

Surprisingly enough, it's not even THAT old! http://www.yojoe.com/action/04/razortrooper.shtml |

Good eye, Jay! I only went up to 1985 before posting. Thoughts it might be later, but you got it. |

What a mystery, though. |

bury it again, and let someone else unearth it in 100years... that will give them a bigger mystery

I figured it was G.I. Joe, but more recent from the newsculpt era because of the upper and lower case "China" on the foot. Nicely done, Jay! Granted, this doesn't explain how it got in Goldbug's parents' garden. That's STILL a mystery. Imagine this -- mankind at some point goes extinct in the future. Virtually nothing survives of what we looked like. Sone extraterrestrial archaeologists come to Earth, see if they can figure out what we were like. And the only reasonably intact evidence they find... is a figure of Predacon.

No, it would probably find McFarlane and Mattel stuff...or think all humans look like Barbie. |
