  • Our Collection of 12 inch GI Joes. Twenty years in the Making and counting! The 12 inch action figures are from all sorts of companies. 21st Century Toys, Hasbro, BBI, Cotswald and many other toy companies. About half were bought at Toys R Us, Wal Mart and KB Toys more than 16 years ago! The other half were purchased online throughout time. For the vehicles, many of them are from 21st Century Toys. The bigger tanks and vehicles were purchased from the original creator of GI Joe, James Desimone and of course I put my own touch on many of them. Some of the vehicles, figures and equipment were simply purchased from toy shows! A great place to find just about anything you could want. As for the dioramas, I personally built each and every one of them out of plaster and other supplies from Hobby Lobby, Micheal's and local hobby stores. Alot of what you see are customized because we simply could not find what we wanted anywhere so we literally made our own customizations so that our collection could be as accurate as possible. With a collection like this we are constantly updating the figures and continuing to make new figures. Many of our figures aren't even displayed yet due to lack of space!
    Be sure to check out our second video. 12 inch GI Joe Collection pt.2 Timeline. It focuses on the American military history timeline and the World military history timeline.
    Check out our true story provided by the Las Vegas Review Journal and The Washington Times!

    I can tell some of them are Dragon. Only thing is that they didn't make many American soldiers in that line. And the few of them are pricey. Awesome collection

    • @KitbashCollections
      @KitbashCollections  Před 3 lety

    What a great collection. Takes year's to get the figures you have. Iv'e quite a few of the same figures once Iv'e finished renovating our new home I'll get chance to do my new collection room. Once done will upload and post. Keep on collecting.

      Andrew White Yes sir Mr. Andrew! My Dad and I have always pondered that there must be other collectors out in the World with vast meticulous collections such as this. We're getting deeper with having vehicles because we have so many unique figures yet once again even this amount of space gets full! We're looking forward to seeing your complete room as well :)

  • @guitardudeguy3139

    Very awesome dios. Trees and bunkers really bring it. Figures of course bring it to life. Nice to see all the divisions , such as 29th infantry which was one if the hardest hit, and Capt. Miller's 2nd Rangers which was really cool. "We're in business"..I can almost hear all the comments from Saving Pvt Ryan. That movie really revived 12 inch figure collecting. Especially 21st century bringing out German soldiers that we could build. Hasbro as we know was very limited on those. Nice Work!

    • @KitbashCollections
      @KitbashCollections  Před 3 lety

      We appreciate that :) It's good to hear from other passionate people about our collection! As prior Military we enjoy this style, I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as we do. Thank you for recognizing the Saving Private Ryan scene on the D-Day diorama! We'll have some new videos soon!

    Thank you everyone for your support and questions and wisdom! I believe it's important to not forget where we came from regarding Military History! History tends to repeat itself so we must learn from both our defeats and victories and astonishingly enough Ancient Tactis and strategies are still used to this day with modern technology.

      Thank you; Over the past 25 years we've been collecting and in the late 90s and early 2000s they sold these in stores. Some are from Toys R Us, KB Toys, Wal Mart, Target, etc. And the rest were bought online or at toy shows.

      Scrapbook Boxing Hello! We are glad you liked the collection and video. Yes we are still passionately collecting 1/6 scale military action figures, accessories and vehicles, I don't think we'll ever stop collecting. We intend to make more videos as soon as possible to show all the figures and the vehicles that can't be seen so clearly in this video. Thank you for watching and the positive feedback!

    Impressive? For a nicer bunker look, try paper mache ontop of the foam: mix water and glue with a little bit of paint in the color you want (a dark gray for that concrete look). Place tissue paper around the foam and dab at it with a paintburhs in the mixture until it all looks like stone. Look up paper mache tutorials, my explanation is crap lol

      BOBAFETT895 Hi Boba! I'm actually a big Star Wars fan as well. I apologize for the late reply. When it comes to WW1 figures we got alot of them from a company called BBI, I believe the toy company called Cotswald has some figures or even just uniforms and gear as well. Alot of the figures shown here were what we call "kit bashed" of which we had to pull some gear from another figure to make it complete. Alot of the figures are straight up custom of which we meticulously had to create our own uniforms and gear from already established uniforms and gear.
