Sure looks like a rivet in the shoulder to me. (If you're gonna fake something, at least get it right, lol!) Unless it's the one in Tom's encyclopedia, I'd be very skeptical. Which reminds me, I have a rivetless Johnny body, a vintage Dan'l head, a flocking kit & a free afternoon. Maybe I'll knock out a "prototype".

What are the three figures to the immediate right of the ranch hand? They look pretty cool.

This seems quite strange to me the figure we talked about at the old site was # 110624165997 the one which we are looking at on this site is #110624629761. Two different Ranch Hand figures from the same seller who is claiming they are both vintage. I would say vintage bodies but custom heads.

Oops I didn't even look to see if it was a different auction. Dave would you mind posting individual pictures of the three figures you described they are very cool. One of these days I will work up the nerve to try and do some customizing!

Terry, I agree! I just emailed them for a pic of the shoulder. I hate seeing stuff like this. How do they even know what a Ranch hand is? Doh! the book! They seem to know a ranch hand, but in the other auction do not know what the Indian accs are called. selective reading I guess?? It all looks suspect to me. I hope it is right, it is at 150. I just dont believe it yet. I think it is a post 70 fig. The ranch hand may have been post 70. Remember, that it when the Joes came out for adventure team. I would like to see this next to Francis turners. Tom
