Some G.I. Joe Art: The Deck of the USS Flagg

Last year (shesh) I decided to recreate some G.I. Joe art to get practice using Adobe Illustrator and to make something that could be used as the background of a G.I. Joe display. Well, I’m finally done with it (sort of). Here it is (click on it to get a 2,000 pixel wide version):

Well this update is long over due. I have a bunch of pics left to post from Joe Con 2013 and it’s way past time to share them. This post will feature the custom figures and dios that I liked a lot. Part two will feature my two most favorite. Some of the pics are [...]

G.I. Joe Figure Subscription Service Round 2.0!

In a move somewhat similar to the subscription based model of Masters of the Universe Classics, the G.I. Joe Fan Club set up a subscription service for G.I. Joe figures last year. In all there are 13 figures from this first round (the 13th being a surprise figure). Out of the 13 figures initially offered [...]

Toy Hunt: G.I. Joe Con 2013 Edition

You know the good point of going on a toy spending spree? I get to justify it by writing about it! I bought a lot of cool things at the International G.I. Joe Convention of 2013 and I thought I’d share my haul. Mostly because I like to brag about the sweet [...]

G.I. Joe Con 2013: The Scoop

I just got back from the 2013 International G.I. Joe Convention and it’s time to give you folks a review! Having never been to one before I thought I’d write a little something up to give my impressions as a total G.I. Joe Con newb.

Imagine about 5 aisles of this, and you’ve [...]

Who Leads G.I. Joe? The Officers of G.I. Joe

Ever wonder what the chain of command at GI Joe is like? The fact is almost the entire team is comprised of enlisted service members. Out of the hundreds of action figures, only 37 are listed as officers, and I’m including the Warrant Officers in that category. GI Joe undoubtedly has always had hundreds [...]

G.I. Joe Problems – “Suit Up!”

Vincent’s Comments: Well here’s our special “G.I. Joe Problems” for the Robot’s Pajamas G.I. Joe Week. I came up with the idea and Chris put it into action. Chris has finally made my dreams come true, I’m co-author of a comic. The strip he came up with is much more dynamic than I [...]

Toy Aisle Terrors (Featuring GI Joe)

We’ve all seen them. The toys in the aisle that make you roll your eyes or shake your head. The toys that are obviously shoddy work or don’t fit with the theme well or are just bad ideas. I’ve decided to walk down the aisles of Targets and Walmarts and snap photos of the [...]
