That rocks! Love 80s costumes! Especially kiddie ones!
That is one lucky little boy - he looks adorable.
The pictures make me think of a GI JOE/ Bugsy Malone type movie - now that would be great

Sweet. Nice costume.
My son is "Old School", his favorite movies are Star Wars (original trilogy), the original Transformers cartoon movie, Indiana Jones, and a lot of other old cartoons (GI Joe, He-Man, etc).
He has watched the old GI Joe cartoons and the newer CGI-type movies as well as the Sigma 6 cartoon. He is currently in a ninja-phase and always talks about Snake-Eyes, Stormshadow, and Kamakura.
I attached some pics of his birthday party last week (GI-Joe themed).
A lot of people accuse me of brainwashing him on Star Wars; however, he fell in love with it before I could. At 2 years old, he was able to name a lot of characters including obscure ones such as Bossk and Dengar. Instead of fairy tales, he wanted me to read out of the Star Wars Visual Dictionary. At 3 yrs old, he was able to distinguish that Jango was Boba's dad, that there was an old Obiwan and a young Obiwan, that Anakin is also Vader, and he constantly corrected people about the differences between stormtroopers/scout troopers/clonetroopers/tie pilots/etc. I used to amaze friends when they came over by quizzing him about lightsaber colors, "name the bounty hunters", or I point out characters in the visual dictionary and he would name them and give information about them.
I really knew he was a SW geek when we were at Celebration in LA and he saw the Wampa and yelled to me, "Dad, it's a Wampa monster!"......I have no idea how he even knew it was called a Wampa!?!?

That's a BA cake, I have that 25A RAM Cycle and Trouble Bubble set, though I have Rock'n'roll riding the bike just like the first issue. Its good to see there are other Joe fans on the RPF besides me.

Um, EXCUSE ME? The AK-47 was only issued to Cobra OFFICERS?? Jeez. Get it right, dude.
Just kidding. That rocks!!
Just noticed it....damn kid wanted the AK. Don't worry....no dinner tonight, a few belt lashes to his butt, and made him stand in the corner for 2 hours. That'll teach him to make his Dad look bad to the prop community!

Awesome costume and a lucky kid! I am working on an all black cobra commander outfit and just need the patches and a decent mask to top it off.
