The Hardest 12 inch GI Joe to collect (2001 Texas Ranger Manhunt)

[@petebutler5139]

You got me! I was like wait a minute, and then I realized it's from the newer releases!

[@paulknappcollections]

Yes it was.

[@paulknappcollections]

LOL Thanks for watching

[@LogicBlaster]

Dang, this one is obscure! I never saw this one at retail... and honestly didn't know it existed! Nice score!👍

[@paulknappcollections]

Thank you sir, I hate ebay but I had to in this case.

I was about to comment that I've never knew about this figure either. :P

[@eliteactionjoestudios8325]

Nice, they are tough, I found a loose one at a sale and used the parts in a custom but it had no hat /boots, great find Paul! We love when you bust them open!

[@paulknappcollections]

You need to let them breath, that's what I always say LOL

[@paulknappcollections]

Cool, thanks

This was a hard one to find. Dad only found 1 at an off Wal-Mart back in the early 2000's. There were 2 versions, the Caucasian redhead buzzcut, and their v1 latino head. Hasbro was spitting out 12 inch Joes by the dozen at the time and the stores were more picky with what they were stocking. This figure in particular was an odd item to stock, because he wasn't the "value" price point, but also was not their deluxe boxed figure. Very awesome figure; one of Hasbro's most creative at the time!

[@paulknappcollections]

And now he's impossible to find. Hasbro needs to bring back 12 inch figs.

[@ThePlasticGeneral]

I RESPECT your True Passion by removing it from the box!! SCREW MINT VALUE!! Loving and Enjoying your collectables comes First!!

[@paulknappcollections]

Thanks brother. Still waiting to see that Navarone conversion.

[@ThePlasticGeneral]

@@paulknappcollections Well, I've got bigger fish to fry! It will be done!

[@paulknappcollections]

It's just a hobby not an investment

[@K37-h1z]

I remember seeing this one quite often as a kid. Wish I knew how rare it was would have definitely picked one up

[@paulknappcollections]

Thanks for watching. Hopefully I will find the remaining few I need.

Thanks for sharing, I am a retired policeman. Years ago I would pick Police related items now and then . I thought I had this one, but when I checked I don't. Mine is the U. S. Marshal/12 inch. Never have seen many of them either. Thanks again sir, good luck.

[@paulknappcollections]

I still need that US Marshal. Very hard to find

[@fiveobob]

@@paulknappcollections I agree very hard. Also hard to even get an idea of value. I am not a collector, No idea of where to look. Thanks for your reply Paul.

[@TalkingGIJoe]

I do not collect that era or any amount of Joes for that matter... but this is a nice looking figure.

[@paulknappcollections]

For some reason he is a hard one to find, thanks for watching.

[@paulknappcollections]

he was HTF

[@foxyladygodiva]

[@paulknappcollections]

Rock on!

[@PlayscaleSoldierProductions]

Also its an awesome figure.

[@paulknappcollections]

Very cool figure

[@paulknappcollections]

Yes very cool.

[@PlayscaleSoldierProductions]

I saw a loose one of these on shopgoodwill. He was missing most of the stuff he had and it came with some other loose figures. I almost bid on it but I dropped out of it. It ended up going for like $30

[@paulknappcollections]

Very hard to find at least for me

[@paulknappcollections]

HTF figure at least for me

[@MasonOwenRoguesChallenges]

I just started my ww2 gi joes collection I think I’m going to add some extra non ww2 joes to my collection

[@paulknappcollections]

There are some ahrd to find ones for sure. I still need 1 mission set

[@Eric-im1li]

[@paulknappcollections]

No doubt.

[@shawnbell3468]

You need some multiple pose shots at the end, not just close up but 360, just a suggestion as a 1st timer.

[@paulknappcollections]

Right on, thanks. will do on my next video.

[@paulknappcollections]

Thanks will do

[@g.i.joethelostchronicles6807]

Nice score!!!! 13,001....but who's counting....

[@paulknappcollections]

Exactly...who's counting. LOL

[@paulknappcollections]

hahahhaha

[@stevensanchez1561]

Are 12 inch gi Joe's worth collecting for future value, I still have some new in box thanks

[@paulknappcollections]

There are a few that are hard to find and can cost a lot, but for the most part the figures from 1991-2013 aren't worth that much.

[@stevensanchez1561]

@Paul Knapp do you know off hand which ones are worth some value just to name a few would be great thanks great channel 👍

[@paulknappcollections]

@@stevensanchez1561 Well I have a few on my wish list that are over 200.00 now. Ones like John R Fox 2004, Volunteer Firefighter 2002, Smoke Jumper 2000 and Powersaw Firefighter 2000 just to name a few.

[@stevensanchez1561]

@Paul Knapp thanks Paul for your feed back sounds great!!!

[@paulknappcollections]

Not really, at least not the newer figures

[@DavidCruz-qt3tt]

Hey I have like around 6 12' figures and a bunch of accessories and weapons. But I don't really which figures they belong to. Do you have somewhere that I can reach you to send you pics may you could help me.

[@paulknappcollections]

Well if they are 1964-1976 vintage stuff then James DeSimones book is the one you want. If its Hasbro from 1991-2013 then look at my older videos where I review the figures that came out each year. Don't think anyone has made a reference guide yet for those years.

[@BlakeGildaphish76]

Has anyone noticed that these “12-inch” Joes are actually 10.5 inches? Does it bother you? It bothers me because they often look ridiculous in most of their clothes, which were made for actual 12 inch figures.

[@paulknappcollections]

Never really thought of it but you are correct. I wonder how many customizers know that.

[@BlakeGildaphish76]

@@paulknappcollections Probably not many. They most likely don’t even care. i only noticed it in 2018, roughly a year after i started collecting Joes. Once i noticed it, i began giving all my new Joes Hall of Fame bodies. They have limited articulation now, but they look very impressive in their uniforms and other kinds of clothing.

[@jimrowe4177]

Does anyone know what percentage of African American figures were manufactured for 1992 to 2002?

[@paulknappcollections]

Only one person for sure that would be Derryl DePriest. Great question. There is a website called The Beachhead. Has almost all figures listed and the SKU #s. check it out.

[@jimrowe4177]

@@paulknappcollections Great info. Thank you Paul. I figured that it could affect scarcity. I a WWII General Officer African American knowing that they weren't yet making that rank.

[@omardiaz3557]

¿12 inch is 1/6 scale?

[@paulknappcollections]

Pretty close like 11.5 inches
