I'M NOT A DOLL! I'M AN ACTION FIGURE: PART... I dunno... I lost count....

4 September: HASBRO G.I. Joe Foreign Soldiers Collection – Circa 2000
WWII German Panzer Tank Sergeant-Major
This guy appeared earlier in the year, back in Mint-in-Box March, when he was still mint-in-box. I attempted to sell him on eBay, but there was no interest, so I decided to de-box him and try to sell off the parts separately. I never really got around to photographing and listing the loose accessories; but then, a few weeks ago, while doing something completely non-doll related, I suddenly got an idea about how to use him in my photo-story.
It's not a particularly good idea, but any excuse is a good excuse to keep a toy, doll, or action figure around, right?
That... errr... would be the photo-story that I keep intending to get back to, by the way. Anyway, for now it looks like this guy will be a keeper.
Maybe he'll be a camp counselor.
I'm kidding, I'm KIDDING!
It occurred to me while I was typing this caption that: a) I should probably delete that previous attempt at a joke, and b) if this figure was released in 2000, he's actually old enough now, at 18, to really join the army! Although he probably falls short (ha!) of the minimum height requirement.

They're not dolls, they're action figures!
