Joe Con 2013: Part 4

In  retrospect, I should have put 3D Joes in Part 3. What you’ve never heard of 3D Joes? It’s an awesome website with rotating displays of a pretty good chunk of the earlier GI Joe figures. It’s a fantastic use of technology. They had the system on display and it’s pretty amazing how easy it […]

Kithaba

Kithaba

Kithaba is one of the few characters I had no awareness of back in the old Kenner days.
