Joe Con 2013: Custom Figures

  I started with the dioramas because they are a personal favorite. However, there was just as much talent on display in the custom figure competition.   This was actually in the diorama category,... 

Joe Con 2013: Diorama Contest

I was completely blown away at the quality of dioramas on display at Joe Con 2013. You can tell the folks that put these together are passionate about their hobby for sure. I could have spent all day... 

Rock & Roll (GI Joe Kreo)

I know everybody wanted GI Joe Lego. A quick image search will yield a number of custom creations out there. However, Hasbro wouldn’t want to license somebody to do that when they have their own... 

AWE Striker

The AWE Striker has been around for a long time. Since 1985 in fact. It’s been repainted several times and is somewhat of a staple of the line. That said, I’ve never owned one until I saw... 

Night Fox

It seems like these days, any driver or pilot that comes with a vehicle is an after thought. An easy place to cost cut, articulation and accessories for these figures may soon be a thing of the past.... 

Joe Colton

  It’s the return of Bruno, as Bruce Willis moonlights from the Die Hard franchise to visit the world of GI Joe as Joe Colton.  Joe Colton you ask? Who’s that? It’s the name given... 

Ace (Vintage)

Well I didn’t think was right to look at the new Ace without taking a look back at the vintage one. This Ace came with the original Skystriker and his design was featured in most of his early comic... 

Captain Ace

I’ve mentioned a lot in GI Joe reviews how I was an Air Force brat. It should come as no surprise that I’m an Ace fan. I did put off getting the newest Skystriker for awhile, though. First,... 

Underscoopfire’s 50 Greatest GI Joe Characters

I was recently asked to take part in an UnderScoopFire panel to select the 50 Greatest GI Joe characters and 50 Greatest Cobras. It was a lot of fun and really made me think. You can check out the Joe... 

Top 25 Playsets of All Time on UnderScoopFire

I was really hyped to be working with Howie over at UnderScoopFire on another toy list. This time however, we put together something different, a list of the Top 25 Playsets of all time. To even it out... 

Head Swap: Zombie COBRA Swat

I have to say this was a purely based on the new season of  the Walking Dead. In the season premier, one of the cooler looking zombies were prison guards that had been turned. While slightly controversial... 

Marauder Stands

  I’m not a big stand user. However, there are times as an action figure collector you need a stand for a figure that just wants to fall over at the slightest breeze. There’s a number... 

Summer of GI Joe Contest Part 3

Okay, so GI Joe is taking the summer off. The Joes and Cobras are doing some of those mundane things that we all do during the summer. To soothe your angst, Figure of the Day is sponsoring another TVFT...

Marauder Vector

I swear ever time I watch Sons of Guns I learns something about guns and GI Joe. This week I learned that the guns shown in the new Total Recall are Kriss Vectors. It’s also the same type of gun... 

A Cobra Named Joe #2

Oh, poor Joe Cobra! He just never seems to catch a break. (If you missed the Joe’s first appearance, check it out here.) (Clicking the picture will enlarge it.)  Read More →

Cobra Commander (Retaliation)

It sure seems like Cobra Commander is turning into the Darth Vader of GI Joe figures. Yet I keep buying them. Honestly, I was going to set this guy aside and try and flip him later. But it got the better... 

Marauder Motorcycle & Sidecar

  This is going to be a bit different. I’m going to post picture of the rather cool Motorcycle with sidecar from Marauder. But if you want to know what I thought you will have to listen to... 

GI Joe Magazine (Fall 88)

I will be 100% honest. I really only picked this up because I liked the cover art.  Well, what I was really hoping was there was a story in the magazine related to the cover art. I never actually knew...
