GI Joe Fans Unite-- 25th Anniversary Fig Talk and More!

Do you collect other toys besides Transformers? Maybe you've got a Masters of the Universe collection you'd like to show off, or maybe you like Thundercats, Voltron, G.I.Joe, Power Rangers, Star Wars, Wrestling, or any of the various comic book toy lines. Please keep the discussions here to non-Transformers toy lines.

Interesting. Even if you don't custom paint those vehicles, they make for great GI Joe vehicles.


If the joes would fit. They might since the CA figures on average are bigger.


ME Joes fit nicely. There's a couple of those 4x4s VAMPed over at HISStank.

I really want that truck that comes with the jeep. Maybe it'll get repainted for the Joes.

DIC's GI Joe series will be on DVD after Christmas. Deep down I hope there is a complete boxset to go along with my other Shout boxsets.

A DIC boxset. I already have the lockerbox boxset for GI Joe so I don't need to double dip on that.

I found some new Joes for the first time in forever about two weeks back. I found an Iron Grenadier, Steel Battalion, the reg'lar Cobra trooper, a Viper and a Hazard Viper, and I bought them all.

Little while ago I found the Black Dragon (I think...) VTOL and had it in my hands, but passed on it at the time. Next time I see it I'm going to purchase it though.

I saw a few "G.I Joes Renegades toys at a local target store this Thurday. I saw the tiny 3 inch ones that fit on the pegs in the store.

Has anyone else spotted G.I Joe renegades toys at stores yet?

I guess since it's easier to create G.I Joe toys. that's why their on store shelves/pegs faster than TF Prime toys.

Seen them and have bought them. GI Joes are made from shared tooling; meaning several figures will use the same arms, legs, etc. that's why they're out quicker.

I was thinking more about Sigma 6, which I liked. They were going to try an animated style with these figures until the fans spoke up.

I'm a bit back and forth on the Renegades figures. They look fine, just not enough to really sell me. I also don't like how CC turned out. His uniform is too grey, and his eye is blue instead of red.

Saw a great Cobra Commander with a Kid Viper at LA's Comikaze Expo.

Image

I didn't realize there was Cobra's Finest, GI Joe's cosplay group equivalent to Star Wars' 501st. There's a Southern California chapter, Cobra Nightwatch 3rd Infantry Division. Fun stuff.

Let's hope Cobra's Finest doesn't know about the 501st or we're going to be stuck in the middle of a villain war.

Here's my review of the new Renegades Firefly. I know the sound is a little low as I'm trying a new review layout.

Let me ask you without going into specifics, cost wise is it cheaper than buying a complete one?

Hard to say. This me the largest deck plate complicates things as it's too big to be sent out here via regular mail. Generally if you can find a cheap one complete then that's the ideal.

Other than that, it'll have cost about $600-800 to do up this way (currently missing the 2 side supports, the bow ladder, the purge valve, the y-pins and the fantail railing)

Comics Alliance posted a link to a GI Joe fan film Operation: Red Retrieval.

There are parts that I think work really well.

It's interesting that the filmmakers take cues from Batman: Dead End with the use of Predator and other characters.
