My 1986 G.I. Joe collection restored.
Original Image by Hasbro Inc.
As I put the finishing touches on my 1985 collection my thoughts turn to my many fond memories of the 1986 line up. I was eleven when this wave hit store shelves. Sadly this was the last year that I was all in for G I Joe. I had already turned my back on Masters of the Universe and Transformers. Star Wars had come to an end. It is only right that I held on with Joes until the bitter end. GI Joe was my favorite. To this day I can’t say if I just out grew toys or if the brand had gone too far off the rails for my tastes. I think it was a little bit of both. After 1986 I would discreetly pick up random figures or vehicles for a couple more years but I had already checked out. As my interests deviated to more preteen appropriate ventures I resisted the urge to turn completely away and draw my childhood to a close. I held on as long as I could but the proceeding waves of GI Joe didn’t help. Maybe I kept a little something back, tucked away in my heart, all this time.
Like the previous album I cannot label this album as complete. I never wanted nor cared for the Sears exclusives. If they weren’t on my list at the age of eleven then they aren’t on my list now. When it came to toys I was a Toys R Us kid and I only covered items that I saw in the inserts. I hope you’ll enjoy this album despite the few missing Dreadnok exclusives.

Yo Joe.
Wave 2 Walmart exclusive 2020.
I love the idea of the line. I hate the execution.
The card is ok but the enlarged, cropped off art feels unfinished. I prefer the 25th Anniversary line for both the card and the card back. The file cards on these are disappointing.
Very early on I assumed as many did, that we'd get a new Scarlett and Duke for tis line, as opposed to figures like Destro and Gung-Ho where we knew more or less what to expect. I felt that Scareltt and Duke would define what this line would be. This sort of landed as a No At Bat for me. It's not bad, it's not great. The head sculp is really nice, the parts choice for the legs and torso work for me, but the gray on the neck line needs to come down more to break up that yellow. The ony thing that prevents this figure from being a total win for me is the loss of her iconic gloves. I can live without the throwing stars on them but she needs those longer gloves. That massive crossbow is terrible. The 25th crossbow worked so much better. It’ an improvement over all but the lack of her gloves is holding it back from being a home run.

Wave 3 shared exclusive 2021..
I’d like to formally thank Hasbro for offering these figures on their website in addition to the joke of a retailer who initially had these are exclusives. Initially I passed on this figure because I was fed up with the retailer. Seeing this later on Pulse I decided to grab it. Not that I don’t have a love hate feeling on this execution.
This is an example of the most recent build not always being the best. The Retaliation Ultimate CC would have been a better choice for the build, and like Destro the altered paint deco would have made this figure out shine the previous amazing release. Instead Hasbro went with the 2017 SDCC exclusive Missile Command Cobra Commander build. It’s a kit bash of the Ultimate and I believe 25th torso. It is not by any means a bad figure, but it is not as impressive as the earlier release. What I do love about the figure is the lighter blue and the red stripe down the legs. It’s the little paint touches that do it for me. The Ultimate release was more accurate to the hooded version but the blue was a bit too dark for the helmeted first release. Why I don’t mind the build as much is that the 2017 release intentionally has the Mickey Mouse logo on it. This, being identical save the corrected Cobra emblem, will complete that other figure very well. Over all it’s a nice figure and on the vintage card. The figure blows the 25th release out of the water so it’s a win and I’m happy that I had a change of heart and bought it.

I saw this a few days ago at a 2nd hand store. I usually find deals but sometimes their prices don't make sense, it's more then the toy show price.
It's been a long, long time dream of my to have my very own sixth scale Christmas tree. But I could never find a commercially made one that was big or authentic looking enough to suit me. So I finally had to make my own, almost (though not entirely) from scratch.
This is the other custom-printed patch for him: an Arashikage symbol, in the position usually used in the US Army for unit patches that you served in previously.
SGT. ROCK and the men of EASY COMPANY, L-R: Little Sure Shot, Wild Man, Sgt. Rock (center), Bulldozer, Jackie Johnson
Little Sure Shot was the first one I found and I think he is my favorite from this line.
A resin cast custom Destro in an all black suit.
As Destro is a Businessman, I thought he'd look cool in a more realistic, corporate look, albeit one with an edge...hence the silver Uzi and grey metal armoured gloves ;)
He also has a metallic (bling?!) techy attache case (it doesn't open....)
I plan on painting the tie blood red and add a silver dot a la a tie pin on the tie. Some of the joints need the flash shaved off and I may try and trim down the tie knot with a sharp craft scalpel...My thanks to Dennis Plorde at vortiouscustomaccessories.ecrater.com/ for making this all for me...Hope you like it!
He also made me some custom cast G1 Transformers guns for Weirdwolf (which I wasn't expecting) and one for Skullcruncher (to complete my figure) and a resin copy of a Rock Viper head (for when I get hold of a 50th Cobra Rock Viper to improve the figures look) as well as a few other silver cast Joe / Cobra small arms, I wanted a selection so as to best choose which fitted and suited this custom Destro the best...However, I wasn't too happy about the Parcel Force Customs Charge which I was forced to pay to receive my items....grrrr...
Photos of Kirk Rambow's epic G.I. Joe collection icluding the legendary U.S.S Flagg- The G.I. Joe aircraft carrier. I'm pretty sure this is the largest child's toy that has ever been made. Very few of these things left in the world. Pictures feature the process of building the U.S.S Flagg step by step. This is one of he most complete examples of the U.S.S Flagg left in existence, it has every imaginable original part, and is missing only 3-4 deck pins ( the clips that hold the runway down to the skeleton of the U.S.S Flagg ) . This thing should be in a museum, filed under " Most awesome toy ever" .
From the G.I.Joe 50th Anniversary Danger at the Docks boxset, here's one the best Flint versions released, with the iconic G.I.Joe VAMP in modern camouflage.

I grew up with AT and my childhood without them would be unthinkable. This one is the Talking Man of Action and 12 inches tall. This Hard Hand and life-like hair and beard (AA Adventurer, MOA, Talking MOA and Talking Astronaut do not have beard) version series figures were first released in 1970.
He talks following phrases and they are the same as vintage Talking Action Soldier’s.
“G I Joe reporting for duty!”
“Take the jeep and get ammo fast!”
“This is Charlie company send some reinforcements!”
“Cover me, I will get that machine gun!”
“Take hill 79. Move out!”
“All units, commence firing!”
“Medic, get that stretcher up here!”
“Enemy planes, hit the dirt!”
G.I. Joe has been such an integral part of my childhood and adulthood. I absolutely love this figure/doll- he has been with me as long as I can remember. I fondly remember getting him for Christmas. He came in the standard G.I. Joe packaging of the early and mid 70s. He was dressed I this blue uniform, along with a white hat, boots and a white rifle. Boy, was I excited. Not only did I have a new Joe to join the team but my Barbies had a new man in town. I didn't have a Ken doll at that time, so he fit the bill just fine. Fast forward to 2015, I found him packed away with a lot of clothing & accessories. The memories immediately came flooding back. Growing up in the country gave my imagination so much fuel. He was a huge part of that. This toy is so special to me. I'm grateful I still have him as a part of my collection and I'm hoping to have him there for years to come. They just don't make toys like this anymore.
1971 G I Joe Signal Flasher set on Sea Adventurer figure. It is fortunate that it still works after so many years. At the back of the Flasher there is Morse Code on the back panel.
On September 1, 2015, beloved Fox Lake, Illinois, police officer Charles Gliniewicz, died of a gun shot wound. The community mourned.
Then the community was shocked. His nickname should have been Dirtbag Joe. He was a nothing more than a common thief who tried to frame three innocent men of murder right before he committed suicide. He knew his crimes of the previous SEVEN years were going to be exposed. He was a coward. He was also a rapist, forcing a subordinate to have sex with him, or lose her job, making him an adulterer, too. Oh, he was a drunk driver, too. And he talked about committing murder, too. The pride of the Fox Lake Jerk Off Department, G. I. Joe Gliniewicz.
And thank goodness for Lake County Coroner Dr. Thomas Rudd!! When he suggested suicide, the investigators filled up their Depends diapers big time. Who knows what story these investigators would have come up with if it wasn't for Lake County Coroner Dr. Thomas Rudd!!!
