Mint Off Card: Super Joe Unlimited plus Atomic Apemen!
Mint off Card this week looks at the latest from White Elephant Toyz in the form of Super Joe Unlimited. Super Joe has triumphantly returned based on the underrated toy line from the late 1970s. How does he stack up against vintage? The answer may surprise you. Plus, we talk about a fun bonus figure in the form of Dr. Zorma, one of the Atomic Apemen.

I am in awe of Mexican Sesame Street toys, especially the regional characters we didn’t get here.
