Thanks to a tip from my mom, I grabbed these from a local thrift store. There were more cars in the bag with these, but nothing special. I just wanted the Mustang and Road Runner. The TR was from the other day.
The GI Joes are from the 90s, and these are the ones I grew up with. The bald Marine I'd had already but his leg broke so I switched the head to another Joe and the original tattoo torso is long gone. This was one of those poop-your-pants finds, such a sentimental toy in excellent condition for $5. My original was my favorite GI Joe and the leader of the rest of my army. The other one is Duke and he would have been a fuzzy head but good luck finding one who still has hair.
Anyone else collect 12" GI Joes? I have all four branches of the military from when thwy rereleased the 1964 Joes for the 40th anniversary, plus all my original ones from the 90s. After the new movies came out, Hasbro basically said fuck the 12" collectors and discontinued the line. This is their version of a 12" figure now, which is an absolute disgrace. There wouldn't be any GI Joes without the original size.

I have a 512M but my original Testarossas are long gone so this was a nice find.
