Are these real Hasbro.. or not?

Yeah, I recently went yardsaling and found a bag full of acting figures... well, their heads were chewed on by a small, hopefully non human animal but for a dollar they seemed good customizing fodder.

Well in it were two molded shirt guys and this nude one. Picking the only intact one I gave it to Spud.... The nude one though was exactly like Spud's old clone body except had two non gimpy arms and a non gimpy leg. So with a spot of swapping I got one good clone body and another... not so good. Also was this other Hasbro body...


Though I do ask, are these actually Joe clones or not since, asides from screws/plastic quality/ etc they're pretty damn close mold wise.



Even the leg molds are the same...


Though lack of any markings and the amount of screws make me believe it's a clone.


And these hands can't bend...


And unlike the two with hasbro on their asses, these necks can only tilt up and down.

Anywho, a bit of help since this is one of the first times actually owning a Hasbro GI Joe as opposed to Action Man...

I'm about 98.8% certain these are clones. I have Classic Collection bodies dating back to the initial '96-'97 production and I've never seen any with screws in them. They did have similar limited neck articulation, which wasn't changed to the ball joint swivel style until around 1998. My guess is this body was copied from an early production Hasbro body.

I don't really have anything to say about the bodies, but.... do those sheets have pictures of flaming underwear? xD

Holy crap, they do! It also says "The Flame Down Under" at the bottom. John, that's freakin' hilarious man!

I was wondering if anyone would notice the underwear. It's a nice backdrop on my otherwise messy ass desk


And thanks. Blah, darn fail clone bodies... I'll prolly use it as a placeholder.

Fail clones work great for experiments. Painting, sculpting, mold making, sculpting your own heads. If they're dressed no one can tell.
