    I went up into my attic today to put some stuff away. Found my bucket of old Joes. Sadly the attic temperatures ruined them. Most of the orings just disintegrated. Made me a bit sad, but they’ve lasted for a really long time. I might lay them all out and take some pics

    Hey, that retro HISS at Walmart are the markings tampos or are they still stickers?

    Amazon and other places offer replacement o rings. As long as paints good the t joint for legs isn't broke and they have thumbs and no broken elbows people will buy them.

    Trick is to pre stretch them and don't put on cold or you may snap the plastic or t frame.

    Maybe if the Hasbro o rings take off they can do a Tampo HISS/ Every other vehicle.

    I really have my doubts that they will. $20 is a lot for an O-ring figure, especially when compared with Classified.

    Incorrect answer @jestermon. With all the freaking delays, I say 2023. ;)

    O-ring Joes are some of the easiest toys to repair, as long as the screws aren’t stripped. And of course, excluding things like broken thumbs or crotches.

    If anyone wants a Classified Barbecue, I'm looking to offload mine for MSRP.

    That thing looks pretty good! Do the treads function?
