-- there was such power in that -- lol. You define an interesting continuum there, between Voltes V and GI Joe. I am older than you, so my peak posable action figure years missed Voltes V, but was square on the GI Joe Hey Day. I swear, I must have had like 7 or 8 SEPARATE & COMPLETE WORLDS of GI Joes. They had to be separate, because there wasn't enough space in my room, and you couldn'y have Joe's Jupiter Space Capsule just FALL outta the sky into Quicksand World! Those things were tricky to coordinate, even given the largest of play areas and budgets -- -- the threads of alternate reality are so fragile when you're seven. But then, when let's just call it the whole "transformer" phase of action figures emerged, it threw little kids for a loopy head trip. Forget just being able to pose them to your liking... Now you could TRANSFORM them into something else entirely. What a rush. I envy you that --
