Joe of the Week: Big Boa 1

The Joe of the week is Big Boa v1. As a kid I had a big boa and still own my original, however the gloves and bag have vanished over the years. He had lots of paint wear and his paints turned green. The green pants is a very common problem with this figure. The figure that I am showing here was added to my collection 1/2 eBay auction, and 1/2 Facebook live auction. I purchased a complete Boa from the FB live auction he looked clean and the gloves are in great shape, however upon arrival his pants had a slight shade of green that did not come across in the live feed. So I searched Ebay and found a Boa with very nice leg color, but missing all his accessories. I got a very nice deal on him. So once all the parts came in I mixed and matched all the best pieces.

I always loved the ascetics of Big Boa, he looks like a pit fighter from an 1980s science fiction movie.

The other great thing about this figure is the conjecture that he may be Rocky Balboa, or his Cobra nemesis. This video talks a little about the debate: Link
