Playmotroops Dioramas

These 1:18 scale vehicles from 21st Century Toys work perfectly with these custom Playmobil soldiers.

When 12 Inch GI Joe Returned: 1998 - 442nd Nisei Soldier

Hasbro continued its awesome line of 12 inch figures with amazing artwork on 5 panel boxes. Some of them have the gold sticker with the year it was released. Others just say WW2 Historic Figures. So there is kind of a mixing of the line here that I was trying to categorize. No worries though. 

Here is the awesome Nisei soldier of the 442 Infantry Regiment - Japanese Americans who fought in Europe. Highly decorated units. This figure comes with an awesome overcoat and a ton of cool gear.

When 12 Inch GI Joe Returned: Collection Photos

I (re)purchased all of these within a span of weeks. Most can be found for $25 or under, the same amount or less when they first came out. I really wish Hasbro would have continued with the full box art. Sadly, window boxes and removal of the 5th flap was probably a financial decision led to the artwork being mostly obscured on future figures.

When 12 Inch GI Joe Returned: 1998 - Navy Blue Angel Pilot

Now this is a figure I didn't have when these were released. Not much interest in a performance pilot until I watched the Blue Angels documentary on Netflix. I highly recommend it. The box art is fantastic and the bright blue flight suit is striking.
