Hi ya'll!
		Just posting this again in case you missed it. I am
organizing a new mailing list with the sole purpose of exchanging G.I. JOE
figures, accessories and vehicle parts, along with xeroxes (photocopies)
of blueprints. It works the folowing way: you must e-mail me your request
to join (you can ask anything in it, if you've got questions), and then
I'll respond to you and enclose the "anatomy file" which is the set of
terms we will be guiding ourselves  to describe the parts. What I will
need from you is a list of parts you HAVE, not need. The list would never
end if it were the other way 'round. Besides, this way you immediately
know if you've found the part you need, and you can trade directly with
the owner. I am doing this so we don't overload this list with "parts
wanted or needed" lists. 
I will also send you more info on the list itself when you suscribe.
THOSE OF YOU WHOSE ADDRESS I ALREADY HAVE IN THE LIST, GET TO WORK AND
SEND ME YOUR PARTS LISTS, this far I've only gotten two lists plus my own.
It is still not enough to send a list out to everybody.

Rod,
		rodpelle@falcon.cc.ukans.edu

Yo Joes:

	I have some G.I. Joe comics but I don't have #21. Can anyone tell me what happens? In #22 the Baroness is at the Bern Institute so I gather that she got hurt in #21. Does anyone want to sell or trade for it?

Actually, number 21 is when Storm Shadow is introduced.  He kidnaps 
Scarlett and takes her via a Cobra C.L.A.W. to Destro¹s fortress.
We also see some ninjas wearing red (not to be confused with the 
Arashicage ninjas seen later).  One thing that makes this story 
interesting is that there are no sounds or speaking in the entire 
book.  Hence the title, ³Silent Interlude.²  Baroness was burned in 
issue 16 or so in a night attack.  She was left for dead by the 
Cobras, but the Joes picked her up.
Just trying to clear things up.

Perhaps the greatest issue of G.I.Joe.  I've met people who hate everything
about G.I.Joe - but mention this issue, and they admit it was a great one.

When she was burned, that was one of the MEANEST jokes I'd ever seen in a
comic book.  Major Bludd leaves her to die, she begs him to take her with
him, the HISS Tank blows up, and we see her GLASSES flying out of the
explosion.  That was MEAN.

I was laughing for days afterwards.  :)

I just got a newsletter in the mail today from DeSimone.
He refered to the new Joes for this year.
I quote:

. . . On the other hand, any 3 3/4 inch figure releases may all be 
Toys R Us exclusives.  As stated above, although rumor has it about 20 
different figures, vehicles and sets, none of it is set in stone.  
When it is I will let you know.  The 3 3/4 inch line is not under the 
same control as the 12 inch line.  Not to burst your bubble, I 
understand those figures are being designed by many of the same people 
responsible for figures made between 92 & 94.  So don¹t get too 
excited and certainly do not hold your breath. . . 

I for one am bouncing off walls and WILL hold my breath, because

My view...

Said Joes are coming out, and, hopefully, will be all new...We might see 
a few figures slated to come out. One that comes to mind is the new 
Baroness, and maybe the new CObra Commander, dressed in black with no 
mask and with some snap-on armour. Then, there is the figure of Duke on 
the wrapping paper.. We might even see One-timers, like Xamot, Tomax, 
Serpentor, and others. Hopefully, they'll hire the makers from 85-91 or 
so. As long as we don't have more stars <I.e. Fridge and Slaughter>..And, 
I think it'd be great to see a nice jet done again! Until then...
Bye!!!!

   Byron - thanks for posting this announcment!

   For once James is being semi-reserved in announcing his news/rumors.
This is defintely interesting.  I encourage everyone to take this with a
grain of salt, as with all rumors, because plans can change for the worse,
or the better!  As we all know, the '96 rumors indicating new Joes by March
'97 are not going to pan out so as James said: don't hold your breath.  Just
keep hoping. :)

Not sure if Thomas helped design them, but he IS an "official" consultant to
Hasbro on Joe's return.  I have no idea what amount of weight his voice

I was always under the impression that these red ninjas were the same as the
Red Ninjas from the Arashikage clan.  After all, both worked for Cobra, both
wore red, and both are seen at the Silent Castle (these in #21, Arashikage
appear with Slice and Dice around issues #121-124).  Anyone else agree?

Actually, according to Larry Hama, these are not Arashikage ninjas.
Read POSTBOX:THE PIT in issue 101.  There, Larry refers to them as 
""ronins" working freelance and wearing whatever colors were available"
Otherwise, they would have attacked Storm Shadow in 21 instead of 
following him.

Just to confuse things further, it is never established that the red ninjas
seen later in the Silent Castle are actually Arashikage guys.  They may very
well be freelance just like the ones in 21 (at least some of them may be).
 The only red ninjas we know are Arashikage are the ones all killed in issue
91.  Presumably, the ones working with Zartan in 84 and 85 are this same
group, but the only one we know for sure is the driver of the van because he
says so.  However, the dialogue in 91 would suggest Zartan's buddies were
indeed Arashikage.  I'm not sure about the ones in the Cobra Consulate
building in Yearbook 3.  An interesting tidbit, though: did anyone ever
notice that the villains in all three "silent" stories (the ones with no
dialogue: 21, Yearbook 3, and 85) are red ninjas?  I wonder if Larry planned
that? :-)
Another interesting tidbit about issue 21 that I don't think anyone else
pointed out: it is penciled by none other than Larry Hama himself.  It is
easily the best drawn issue in the entire series (with the possible exception
of 26, of course!).  :-)

In a message dated 97-03-02 22:04:50 EST, you write:

<< Just to confuse things further, it is never established that the red
ninjas
 seen later in the Silent Castle are actually Arashikage guys.  They may very
 well be freelance just like the ones in 21 (at least some of them may be).
  The only red ninjas we know are Arashikage are the ones all killed in issue
 91.  Presumably, the ones working with Zartan in 84 and 85 are this same
 group, but the only one we know for sure is the driver of the van because he
 says so.  However, the dialogue in 91 would suggest Zartan's buddies were
 indeed Arashikage.  I'm not sure about the ones in the Cobra Consulate
 building in Yearbook 3.  >>

I'm wondering if the Red Ninjas seen later in the Silent Castle are actually
Arashikage too.  After all, Slice's filecard states that he may well be from
Storm Shadow's clan too.  Then again, I believe in issue 91 the Red Ninja's
leader says something to the effect that he gathered all the remaining Red
Ninjas together to ambush the Joes.  Ah well, maybe he forgot a few.  Or,
perhaps Slice and Dice didn't have anything better to do while they were
chillin' in the Silent Castle, so they took it upon themselves to train some
new ninjas, who just happened to dress in red.  This makes sense, considering
how easily Destro and the Baroness beat these guys in the red pajamas.  I
guess their training just wasn't complete...

OK
Friday wife wakes me up from pre midnight shift nap at 1900, says 
grandson is sick and shes leaving to help oldest daughter.
I sleeply mumble that any 21year old that caries a Glock 9mm and can 
out shoot me needs no help with any thing.
Wife says shut up, watch 3 year old daughter  and that she paged 
18 year old son to come home by midnight so I can go to work. Grabs 
her 38 Ladysmith and heads out the door.
( yes I should have head examined for raising one bunch of kids then 
starting over again, and for those worried about our gun obsessions, 
I'm a firearms instructor and both of the females have been assaulted 
in their lifetimes and vow never again.)
Youngest daughter says "lets watch cartoonies!"
Ok, sounds like a deal, as I dose in my easy chair we watch something 
on NICKELODAN called KABOOM.
Youngest likes joes but hasent been warped (yet) so Barbies are in 
the lead with her. She's excited over a segment of stop action 
animation involving a Barbie and He-man both heavly modified called 
Action... something, I was doseing.
I woke up to see another figure in this segment that appeared to be a 
modified 3&3/4 Shipwreck Seal . I'm booked up this friday evening so 
you guys might watch it to see if I was dreaming. I hope the above 
wasn't more information than you wanted.

Yep! I know what you mean about being up late. I
used to hate working midnight to 8, especially in

Hey all,

   I visited my parents' today and as promised return with some info on the
GI Joe card game.

   GI Joe - A Real American Hero Card Game

   by International Games Inc. (makers of UNO)

        Capture 3 different Cobra               4
        ALL OUT BATTLE (best equip. wins)       10

   Change plan of attack cards:                 15
       
   Equipment cards:                             (16)
        Motorcycle              3

        Missle System           3
        Tank                    3

   Cobra Cards:                                 (24)
        Cobra Infantry          8
        Cobra Officer           8
        Cobra Commander         8

   Scoring: plan of attack cards count for 10 points each.  Subtract two
points from your score for each Cobra card.

   You will need: paper to keep score.

   Types of cards: 
   1. Plan of Attack Cards: This card specifies what cards a player must
have to win a battle and is worth 10 points to the winner of the card (see
card distribution).  Example: plan of attack card asks for three different
soldier cards.

    ... okay folx, this is where you are going to kill me.  My rule sheet
has been torn off and I only had pages 1 through 3.  I think this
information is *probably* enough to figure out how to play the game.  Anyone
care to comment further?  I'll probably try to reconstruct the missing rules
(or make something reasonable up) unless someone else remembers what the
exact deal is.

   Well, I guess this is better than nothing! :)

Well, these seems like an open invitation to talk about that still-fresh-as- 
the-newest-listmember topic, "Who is/are your fave Joe(s)/Cobra(s), and why?" 
 
Well, here's my top 5 list, for both Joe and Cobra, and reasoning*... 
 
Weasel's Top Five All-Time-Favorite JOES (Yo Joe!) 
1.  Snake-Eyes:  To quote his filecard, "The man is a total mystery..."  Yep, 
    just like Wolverine and Boba Fett, the less we know about this man, the 
    more that whets our appetites TO know.  I always thought it was cool that 
    he was never given speeches, even in the flashback episodes (viz, "Real 
    American Hero" 26, 27).  It definitely added to the mystery. 
 
2.  Torpedo:  At some point in time, for whatever reason, I was obsessed with 
    the Navy SEALs.  I thought that what they did, or at least, were trained 
    to do, was the sh*t.  To coin a phrase.  At any rate, everyone else in my 
    hometown apparently had the same thoughts, because I *never* saw Torpedo 
    on the shelves around Michigan City.  So, I wrote directly to Hasbro, and 
    asked if they mightn't be able to 'hold' one for me.  They responded with 
    a form letter stating, Thanks for your interest, our apologies, etc., and 
    that I *could* buy Torpedo directly from them for the low, low price of 
    $4.00 (+RI state tax, plus s/h)--all told, about $7.25.  Well, since that 
    was about 3x the cost of a single figure, purchased locally, I balked. 
    But I finally got him from my cousin for $3.00 (AND he threw in a Fisher- 
    Price sleeping bag, too!), which made him all the more important to me. 
 
3.  Scarlett:  Hey, she was Snakes' love interest!  What more does a girl need 
    to be 'cool,' than to be dating the coolest guy?  :)  Her boots really bit, 
    though; I hated that you couldn't put her on a battle stand! 
 
4.  Lady Jaye:  Not that I'm *trying* to offend anyone with this, but:  Hey, 
    she was stacked.  Like nobody's business.  End of story.  Oh, and there's 
    the fact that she had a real interesting bio, yeah, Bryn Mawr, Celtic, and 
    all that...  Yeah, that's it.  [Apologies to Meghan, Michelle, and all the 
    other charming young ladies who grace us dolts with their presence and by 
    sharing THEIR tales of collecting.  (No, really, I'm a Weasel, not a pig, 
    I swear! :)] 
 
5.  Barbecue:  I really liked the notion of having a firefighter on the team, 
    and his personality on the cartoon gave a very strong SPRINGBOARD to the 
    playtime that my brothers, cousins, friends and I enjoyed.  :) 
 
 
Weasel's all-time favorite (boo! *hiss* :) COBRAs: 
Tied for 1st--Storm Shadow and Firefly:  In terms of who they were, I really 
    liked both of these characters.  They were both cyphers (see discussion of 
    Snake-Eyes, above), which meant you could make of them whatever you liked. 
    As far as figures go, I didn't like what they did with Firefly's costume  
    the second go around, but I really liked the original costume, as well as 
    his accessories (the walkie-talkie ROCKED).  Storm Shadow's appeal goes  
    without saying:  the whole Ninja mystique, coupled with his really nifty 
    accessories (compare the simplicity of design of his original bow to that 
    of his '89 bow; what the h*ll were they THINKING?)  Anyhow, overall, two 
    very EXCELLENT figs; thanks Larry and Hasbro!  ;) 
 
3.  Destro:  First off, his origin was pretty killer:  he was running this 
    secret operation, and Doc pummeled him "about the boots with [my] face." 
    Plus, he had a secret connection to the Baroness.  AND, he had his own set 
    of GI Joe toys (cf. RAH20, on the cover?).  What more could you ask for in 
    a villian? 
 
4.  Buzzer:  Yes, Weasel will concede a like for this Dreadnok.  He seemed to 
    me the most intelligent (tough competition, sure, but he WAS a Sociology  
    professor in his 'prior life' ;) of the original 3 D'noks, and I really  
    liked it when he later mixed it up with Road Pig (okay, he ALWAYS came out  
    on the losing end in these scuffles, which made the situation that much 
more  
    funny :D). 
 
5.  Slice - Don't know why, but this Ninja's antics always made me laugh 'til 
    I nearly cried!  (I'm a poet and don't know it :)  The only context I've 
    seen him in has been in the 120's and up of RAH, but his posturing always 
    made him seem so farcical.  'Course, he could kill me with that 'subtle' 
    cut technique that Snake-Eyes demonstrated early on (don't recall the ish 
    number--argh!) ('Subtle, hmm?  So subtle he MISSED'  'Nah, so subtle that 
    the target has to be reminded he was hit,' as Snake-Eyes taps the practice 
    dummy and its 'head' falls off), so I'm careful to be respectful in his 
    presence, capesh?  :) 
 
 
All right, let's hear what the rest of you think, and why... 
 
 
Peace,

	Something about Flash, that got me going.  One was the cool
visor. The other was the fact that he carried a laser rifle.  It had to be
the most futuristic weapon at the time.  After HE-MAN I wanted to be

I was a bit confused about the prices.  As far as I could tell it seemed
cheaper to go and rent a table instead of going as an attendee.  I'm
used to the computer trade shows where you can pretty much get out onto
the show floor for free but you pay for the special conferences.  The
price seems awfully high.

   The 12" collectors seem much more accustomed to blowing large sums on
money than us frugal(?) 3 3/4" guys. *grin*  I haven't looked at the
Breaking The Barrier brochure yet (live too far away to possibly attend) but
I'm with you.  Unless you're coming out of the show with a bunch of
convention exclusives (that you actually like) it strikes me that it is just
as fun to chat w/ fellow Joe fans across the 'net.

>Weasel's all-time favorite (boo! *hiss* :) COBRAs:  
 
As a testimony to the mental state that I'm in (concerned over getting this 
new job, and still have 30+ hours to fret about it; my better half's concern 
over whether I'm getting this job, etc.), you'll note that Wild Weasel was 
conspicuously ABSENT from my list of all-time favorite COBRAs.  The way the 
list should really have read was: 
 
1.  ALL-TIME FAVORITE COBRA: Wild Weasel, cuz' he came across really cool in 
    RAH #34--the dogfight over New Yahk/New Joisey.  :)  And then--*poof*--he 
    just disappears on us?!  I don't *think* so.  (that really bummed me out) 
 
2.  Tie between Storm Shadow and Firefly 
 
4.  Destro 
 
5.  Buzzer 
 
Honorable Mention (Comedic Effect) Slice 
 
I promise you all that I'll be feeling much better after tomorrow--one way or 
another, I'll lose a TON of stress...  (Of course, if I don't get the job, the 
home life will become a bit...hairy, I'm sure. *smirk*  For a while, anyway...)

Hmm...now this is an intersting topic, favorite joes and cobras.  

Keeping with the precedence that Weasel set, I'll just use my top 5 of each.

My memory is pretty weak as far as comics/cartoons go, so just bear with me.

**Joes**
--------
1.  Clutch - I liked him since the first comic when he went to pick up Hawk
and took him to the pit, I loved the way he drove the jeep and even though
i didn't have a liscense then, I swore I would drive like him.  And I did.
Hence my extreme amount of speeding tickets and damage to my former 4WD
vehicles.

2.  Shipwreck - His personality on the cartoon rocked.  He had a big
attitude and I loved when he was on the cartoon.  I even liked his uniform,
and I didn't even mind the Bell Bottoms!!

3.  Sgt Slaughter - Yeah, ok, he was famous.  But, at the time I liked
watching "Pro Wrestling" and it was cool to see him on there.  Also, I
liked the fact that he was a training instructor.  Ok, really, it was the hat.

4.  General Flagg - I just thought he was a cool guy.  I don't know exactly
WHY I liked him, but I was bummed when he got killed.

5.  Stalker - I liked his simple, but cool uniform, and the gun he came
with.  Not to mention he was a green beret.  Don't remember much about him
on the cartoon though.

**Cobra**
----------

1.  Firefly - The uniform and accessories says it all.  Plus the fact that
he's so mysterious - LOVED the swiss bank account fact on his file card.
Also, I was a destructive child so I related to him easily.

2.  Zartan - A master of disguise, who changed color.  Very sneaky person,
leader of a Cobra subgroup....how much cooler could you get?

3.  Major Bludd - A great villian.  Hated that the figure had a mech arm
and they didn't do anything with it on the cartoon or comics.  But, "When
you're feeling low and woozy, slap a fresh clip in your uzi" made it all
better.

4.  Hooded Cobra Commander - I just thought this figure looked so cool.
Wished they used it in the cartoon instead of the silver masked one.  I
thought the cartoon version was a pansy.  Wished he had more attitude
though.  I also liked the super-armor version, but not as much.

5.  Destro - The 3rd major villian of the toy line.  I liked the mystery of
him, and that fact that his gun fit into his briefcase backpack.  I would
have loved to see a version of him in a pinstriped business suit with his
silver mask.  The gold mask annoyed me though.

Well, thats it i guess......Now its time for the most HATED
figures/characters :) but thats for another day

Hmm, well I'll keep it simple with mine.  My favorite Joe figure is Beach
Head, hes the one I remember playing the most with, and he was a neat figure,
and had some cool accesories.   My favorite Cobra figure is probably a tie
between Crimson Guard Trooper and Cobra Soldier(blue black one), I know
they're not exactly main characters but the figures are great, and I seem to
like the nameless troopers(could explain the large amounts of POFT2
Stormtroopers I have).  

Also to anyone who cares, I just got the instructions and put together my
U.S.S Flag.  Alot of people said it would take me a long time, and I may need
someone elses help, but it was pretty easy.  Took about 45 mins if that.  One
thing that kind of annoyed me though, when I bought it I was told it was
complete, and when putting it together I noticed I was missing the gray hull
siding(I've already written and complained to the person I purchased from).
 So if anyone happens to have a extra of that piece, I'd love to get it.

Here's another question aimed at everyone.  If you were Joes (or Cobra's)  what
would your call signs (code names) be and what would you do.  Kind of if you
could make your own filecard.

I would have to go with Sonic as a call sign and would be recruited from the
Canadian Airforce for my "Excellent flying abilities".  I dont know if anyone
saw the made for TV movie "The Arrow".  But it explained the story of the Avro
Arrow (a great plane) and basically blamed its demise on the US.  I would fly
the one plane that they speculated was stolen by the test pilot and hidden in a
secret area.

Captain Dave (Sonic) Cocks of the G.I.Joe Team and the Canadian Airforce and
his rearmed and outfitted with modern avionics G.I.Joe Arrow.

Slight break in work - time to join the fun!

>From our home offices in Staten Island, New York-

TOP 5 FAVORITE JOES
-------------------

5. Wild Bill 1992
	I never had it as a kid, but I love this figure's design and
accessories.  He's infinitely more interesting than the original Wild Bill.
I've got him piloting my Dragonfly helicopter, plus he had the removable
hat, the old style revolver (shotgun?), and the backpack with knife.
Accessories make the man.

4. Footloose 1985
	The bullet stopper, the best pure Infantry guy around.  Plus, I
loved the idea of just a WEIRD soldier.  The episode with him and Dusty
running through the desert is one of my favorites of all time, "I think
you're deeply, DELUDED MAAAAAAAN...."  And he had the cool helmet with
leaves on it, the M-16 with the strap, and the portable rocket launcher.

3. Falcon 1987
	Always wanted a Green Beret, and this one was a cool looking one.
Plus his filecard described him as a "snake-biter": great visual image.
And he had that smooth shotgun (weren't these made illegal by the Geneva
convention?), a huge knife, and that backpack with the radio - the man did
it all.

2. Gung-Ho 1983
	The guy I most wanted to be like when I grew up.  He got to run
around with no shirt on, just a vest with a huge tattoo.  Plus in the
cartoons he was the one that'd pick up six or seven guys at once and throw
them.  And those were some great accessories - a grenade launcher (how much
destruction could I cause with that?) and a huge backpack (not like Grunt's
wimpy knapsack).

1. Snake Eyes 1985
	Nuff said.  I couldn't get enough of this guy, as he was just the
COOLEST thing I'd ever seen in my life.   And a gun AND a sword.  First guy
to come with both - he ruled.


And from our home offices in Cobra Island-

TOP 5 FAVORITE COBRAS
---------------------

5. Snow Serpent 1985
	Man, was this guy LOADED.  He had the biggest backpack, plus he
carried an anti-tank weapon with stand, plus he had the AK, PLUS he had the
parachute, and the snow shoes.  I got my $2.99's worth when I got this one.


4. Viper 1986
	Great uniform - the perfect bad guy.  Can't get enough of these.

3. Crimson Guard 1985
	Smooth looking bad guys.  Uniform looked SHARP - like GQ only he
can kill you.  Plus the bayonets on the rifles - nice touch.

2. Baroness 1984
	I always pictured that Marcie from the Peanuts would grow up and
look like the Baroness.  The evil nerd girl - I loved it.  I had two of her
when I was a kid (broke the thumb on one - that was just an excuse to get
another one).  And she got to say so many cool things like, "Oaf, is that
anyway to treat a lady?" just as she popped Beachhead in the face, or
"Shutup!  You're making my trigger finger itch!" as she pointed a gun in
Dr. Burkhart's face.

1. Storm Shadow 1984
	Everybody loved ninjas and I was no exception.  I must've read
G.I.Joe #26 and #27 a million times over.  Storm Shadow was a cool good
guy, but he was the BEST villain.  And whoever designed his accessories was
a GENIUS - backpack that held a long sword, short sword, nunchuks, AND a
bow!  GENIUS....

	My name is Sharp Shot.  Don't ask why or how I got the name, but
that's what I used for the Steel Brigade dossier.  I'm in the Air Force,
but I'm an infantrymen.  Go figure!
	However, I've always liked the name Hit & Run.  I also like
electronic gadgets, so I guess I'd want to be some sort of techno-wizard,
that carried lasers.

 If Joes were 6ft. then at 3.75" they would equate to roughly 1/21 scale.

 I believe there was talk of a trainset being issued by Hasbro that was
cancelled due to costs. 
 
 That was "G guage" (LGB size, or aprox 1/24) 
 Food for thought.

Along the lines of the "call signs" thread we've got going, who here has a
Steel Brigade code name?  Mine, dating back to 1987 or '88, is Haywire.  Not
that that name really describes my personality - it's pretty much the exact
opposite.  I just copied it off of the Blurr Targetmaster's gun component
from Transformers.  Just thought it was a pretty cool name.  Goes to show how
non-creative I am.  :)    Without digging out the actual filecard, I seem to
recall being a computer expert.

I don't remember much, either, since I've lost my card.  I was an expert

Howdy! 
 
(I covered this in my delurking post, but that was...um...October?!  So, here 
'tis again...) 
 
Though I was never a Steel Brigade member, I would use the code-name of 
(anyone?) 
Weasel.  My specialty would be Covert Ops/Information-Gathering.  Here's the  
quote from General Hawk I wrote for my 'bio': 
 
"Weasel doesn't go sneaking around with a Jim Bond spy camera, snapping photos 
of Cobra's plans for world domination and balance sheets.  Instead, he manages 
to...'weasel' his way into THEIR covert operations, and creates a trust level  
that enables him to take the information right under their noses, like hens  
from a chicken coop..."

I didn't like the cartoon much, I know that is heresy, but oh well.  I
kinda combined the character's personality from the file card and the
comic.  My favorites are based on this personality, the look of the
figure itself, and the accessories.

Favorite Cobras--These were easier for me to come up with.  And to all
those that got left out, that doesn't mean like you any less!

1. Firefly - 1984 Mysterious background.  Dangerous bad-ass guy.  Cool
backpack and gun.  	Cool accessories on the figure.

2. Eel - 1985 I always thought the Eels were very cool looking.  All the
accessories 		were great.

3. Snow Serpent - 1985 Lots of accessories. Cool idea.

4. Storm Shadow - 1984 Cool figure, cool background, cool accessories.

5. Destro - 1983 Liked the opening briefcase.  When I was young and got
a new Cobra 		vehicle I roleplayed the whole thing.  I drew up
blueprints that fit into the 			briefcase and had Destro consult with
Cobra Commander, since he was the weapon 			supplier.  They would
discuss it and then bring in prototypes for testing and 			then roll out
the finished product, my new toy.


Favorite Joes
1. Snake Eyes - 1982(3) and 1985 What else can be said? This is Snake
Eyes damnit!

2. Beachhead - 1986 Another cool masked guy, I think I notice a theme
running through 		this list.

3. Stalker - 1982(3) This is the only one on my list that I never had a
figure of.  But 	I like his character in the comic. He was like Snake
Eye's guardian, like he 			needed one.  But they had been through a lot
together.  Actually, if things work 		out, I will obtain a 1983
Stalker.  So keep your fingers crossed.

4. Falcon - 1987 One of the few later figures that I liked. Liked the
Green Beret thing. 	Cool shotgun.  Liked the backpack with the bent
antenna, ala Vietnam.

5. Scarlett 1982(3) Liked the comic character better than the figure. 
Hated no stand 		holes in her boots. The figure was kinda goofy looking
with the short hair cut.  		I fixed that by getting some of my mom's
thread, matching it to her hair color 			and concocting a long flowing

I have a question for everyone.  I have been wanting to expand my Cobra
forces, namely the "faceless hordes", the grunts. Presently I have:

2 Cobra Soldiers
2 Cobra Officers
2 Eels
2 Snow Serpents
4 Vipers
3 Iron Grenadiers
2 Crimson Guards
1 Crimson Guard Immortals
1 HISS driver
1 Ice Viper
2 Stratovipers

and others I am sure I am forgetting.  Expanding them even more seems to
be limited by the fact they are a little pricey, especially the early
ones.  I had an idea of taking each of the figures apart and making a
mold of the parts and then casting them in plastic.  Then I would paint
them.  Most of the parts would be fine since they all come apart, except
the arms.  I have ideas of either putting the arms in the "Proper firing
postion" and casting them like that, letting the real figures do the
work required of swivle-armed ones.  Or to make five castings of each
arm and whittle the appropriate parts from those.  Not too bad because
once you did it, you would have the molds and wouldn't have to worry
about it again.  But I haven't figured how to connect them.  Maybe real
small screws and bolts?

Now my question(s).  Has anyone done castings of any type?  Or better
yet, have you done this with Joes? If so, how did you go about it?  I
have a pretty good plan but have yet to do it.  I am just seeing if
anyone else had gone through with it.

Yo Joes!

Well, I'm off to the great cold state of Nebraska
on Sunday and then to the great wet place called England.
It's been fun, I've enjoyed chatting with all of you. I've
learned a lot about our hobby and have passed a long some
interesting info of my own. 
	Thanks to Conor and Steve for starting this group
and especially to all of you that engaged in transactions
with me. I have been more than satisfied with your product
and I haven't gotten any complaints either. Also thanks to
Corey and Eugene, for without stumbling onto their websites
I probably never would have gotten back into collecting. Thanks
guys.
	Then, just when you thought it was safe to surf the net
again. I'll be back up online around July/August, just as soon
as my stuff arrives and I get setup. Until then, safe your pennies
for the fall, and listen to Tom Wheeler, he knows what he's talking 
about.

YO JOE!

   Yup, this is natural given that they're all collector's items at this
point.  Don't we all regret not buying COBRA _legions_? :)

  If you actually casted each individual arm piece correctly, I think you
can get riveting tools that you could perhaps use to assemble arms?  I have
zero experience in this, but the thought occured to me.  The whole
processing of casting and getting correct colors and such would seem like
the most difficult aspect of the process.

  Thomas Wheeler (GITrekker@aol.com) and a friend of his were playing around
with this a few years ago.  You might contact him and see what he did and
how he liked the results.

  Good luck, let us know what you end up doing!

Hello all, I just got four carded "GI Joe Astro Brigade" figures from
Holland for a deal with a dude over there.  I thought I wanted them at
first, but after about a month of waiting they arrived and I am sure now
that I just don't have the space to store carded figures.  I would be
interested in trading them for loose stuff, either pieces from my want
list, or loose complete figures.  The four that I have are:

Destro - "Compu-tech Wapenhandelaar"
Duke - "Gezagvoerder Astro Brigade"  (It must mean leader, but..)
Rock & Roll - "Robo-Kanonnier"
Robot-Joe - "Jet-tech Operationeel Expert"

Collectionne toutes les Figurines G.I. Joe et Cobra!  (At least that is
what the card says)

If interested, please LMK.

Thomas Wheeler describes a lot about what happened to the Oktober Guard
in the Barracks.  He explained that after lots of pressure on Hasbro by
the fans, they finally gave in and made Red Star and Big Bear.  They'd
planned on releasing more Oktober Guard figs, but after the fall of the
Soviet Union, they decided to stop making them.

How about Air-Vipers?  Yeah - kinda dull, but it hasn't been used, has it?
Plus, they refer to Air-Vipers on the A.V.A.C. file card.  Maybe these are
the guys who become AVACs?

   I believe that Hasbro thought it would be a wrong move politically to
create these characters during the mid-80's.  When the hype surrounding the
Cold War began to die off, you started to see these characters appear,
although they weren't the ones Larry Hama created. :(  Too little too late
though, Larry Hama had already killed most of the comic book O.G. characters
and Hasbro had started to lose interest at that point in creating realistic
characters with personality.

   I'm hoping that when 3 3/4" GI Joe returns that this is one of the sets
of figure that Hasbro puts out for collectors.  I would *LOVE* to have a
complete accessorized set of the original Oktober Guard team.

   I use Testors enamel paint.  Have no idea how acrylics would work but
might be worth a try.

Subject: General Hawk's weapon color??
Date: Mon, 10 Mar 1997 8:50:00 EST


  I recently noticed a discrepency with Desomine's 3 3/4" guide book 
  concerning the figure General Hawk (Armor-Tech Star Brigade figure
  that came with the Armor Bot).  Desimone pictures the figure with
  a PINK gun!  I also noticed that Eugene's WEB page mentions that he
  came with a "HOT PINK" gun also.  Well, I have two, one loose (that
  I opened) and one MIB, and both came with a BLAC gun.  Is this 
  a variation or are Desomine's book and Eugene's WEB page incorrect?

I am looking for some loose old joes.  I can get them through Cotswold but
I was wondering if anyone out there might have some that they would be
willing to let go cheaper.  They also don't have some of the figures I
want.  I don't mind some wear, but I am looking for no broken crotches or
hands.

The ones through Cotswold:

Short Fuze, Grunt, Flash, Stalker, Clutch, Wild Bill, Hawk and Mutt

Others I want:

Scarlett, Snake-eyes, Rock-Roll, Original Hawk, Grand-Slam, Cobra Soldier,
Steeler.

Incorrect is a harsh word.  Consider this to be an 'unreported' variant. I,  
too, have 2 General Hawk figures, and one came with a black gun, and the 
other came with a pink gun.  You'll also note things about the Armor-Bot 
like the fact that some of them had copper-colored missiles (matching the 
rocket guns), and others had blue missiles.  Don't know if this was 100% 
random, or if they were distinctly two separate "issues" of these?  Anyone?

   Mine came with a pink gun too.  Probably just a variation.  You might
ask Thomas Wheeler (GITrekker@aol.com).  He picked up 30+ Armor Bots and
probably got the variations if anyone did. :)

	Is it me or have 12" figures undergone a transformation from being
toys to limited edition collectibles.  I mean to open the package of a
12" would be the ultimate sin.  While the kid inside screams to hurl the
new recruit into boot camp, the adult sees the expansion of your asset
base.  
	What I'm trying to get at is 12" figures, at least to us, are no
longer marketed as toys.  Compare it to Action Man.  He's got cartoons,
magazines, a FAN CLUB.  Action Man IS a toy.  
	If the new 3 3/4" boxed sets are released are they going to be
what they were, or is the new package going to have "limited edition
collectibles" stamped on it.  One way to tell, is if file cards are
included with the figures.

Hope I got the message across.

Hm, for a mailing list, there doesn't seem to be enough mailing.  Everyone
working like me to save up money for Fall 97?  :)

Time to start yapping about what's new.

UPDATE ON THE G.I.JOE CARD GAME RULES
I wrote a letter to International Games, the makers of the game, asking for
a new copy of the rules.  I ended up getting a letter back from Mattel
toys!  They informed me that the card game was made by Hasbro, and I should
contact them.

Huh?  The box says International Games, then I get a letter from Mattel,
telling me to contact Hasbro.  I smell a conspiracy.  They gave me a phone
number to contact, I'm going to see what I find out.


G.I.JOE CEL
Thanks to someone who posted in alt.toys.gi-joe, I got the phone number of
a place called the Animation Source - a cel dealer in Connecticut.  Thanks
to the fax machine at work, he was able to send me b/w prints of the cels
that he has.  All are from DIC animation (he corrected me - all this time I
didn't know it was pronounced DEEK :) ).  I got a great cel for $40 - it's
a close up of Metal-Head, talking to Destro and Cobra Commander.  Cobra
Commander has his back to us, Destro has half of his face, and Metal-Head
is facing us.  The colors look fantastic, once I get time, I'll scan it in
and give it a good home on the web.  No production background, but the
foreground characters take up so much room, it's not really a problem.
It's going to make a great background for my desktop.

If anyone else is interested, the phone number is 203-854-6836.  He has six
different ones left (as of Friday) for $40 - talk to Bob Casino.


DEFIANT SPACE SHUTTLE
Thanks to Donna Gruber's Collectibles
<http://home.sprynet.com/sprynet/dgruber>, they were able to find me a
beat-up, but CHEAP Defiant Space Shuttle.  It's missing most of the pieces
from the shuttle itself, but a great looking booster, and half of the
gantry.  The lower half is missing, but the thing is still freaking HUGE.
I had a lot of fun cleaning this thing.  I ended up taking the Defiant
apart, and mixed and matched pieces with my Crusader space shuttle.

Oh - if anyone's interested in trading Defiant pieces, I'm willing to trade
some of the bigger pieces (starboard cargo bay door, front hatch, wheels,
landing gear cover) for engine pieces or hatches from the booster.


REPAIRING JOES
I managed to fix up a few of my Joes over the weekend.  New tricks that I
can pass on.

On one figure, I noticed the back screw wasn't in all the way, so I tried
to tighten it.  It kept on turning and turning and turning.  The plastic
had been so worn away that I couldn't tighten it.  So I took it apart,
added some Elmer's glue to the front torso half - directly in the screw
hole, then let it dry.  Now when I put the screw in, it fit in TIGHT.

Another figure had a really loose head ball.  Taking the figure apart, I
noticed that it was because the front and back halves of his torso had been
WARPED so that they didn't meet correctly.  I dropped these two pieces into
a pot of boiling water and let it boil for a few seconds.  Then, scooped it
out with a fork, wiped it clean so I didn't scaled myself, then ran it
under cold tap water while pressing the two halves together.  It took a few
minutes, but I got the halves together so that they met normally again.
Now the fig looks great.


SPECIAL MISSIONS BRAZIL TAPE
I got one of these, and got to listen to it.  Oh my GAWD, this tape is
AWFUL.  I was chuckling like all heck, listening to this thing.  It sounds
like it was written by a couple monkees locked in a room with typewriters,
and voiced by one really bad voice actor.

I'm going to try to make a RealAudio clip of it and put it on the web for
everyone to share and scare together.  :)


TWO NEW CUSTOM FIGURES
I got these finished up last weekend.  If you've got any you've done, show
'em off!  Get pictures of them to Corey!


MY WEBSITE
It's been updated.  Three new figs from 1993 and three new European
exclusives.


Dismissed!

I think it's that ridiculous "the old ones are worth money-so I'll keep
mine mint-in-box" mentality.  Most 12" collectors are bright enough to know
that the current 12" stuff will never be worth as much as the stuff from
the 1960s.

But heck - look at what's happened in other "collectibles" fields.  Anyone
still think Upper Deck baseball cards will make you rich?  Anyone want any
of my extra copies of New X-Men #1s (Cover E)?  How about my X-Force #1s?
How about those Lando Calrissian POTF2 figures that were going for $40-$60
each one year ago, now are littering TRUs from coast to coast for $4.99?

People will never learn.  When the new 3 3/4" stuff comes out, someone out
there will go, "Gee, G.I.Joe toys.  They're BOUND to make me rich!"

I think part of the problem with 12" figures is that they're too expensive
for KIDS to play with them.  Not even counting the $100+ FAO Schwarz
exclusives.  I mean, what's the cheapest for a current 12" fig, $24.99?
Heck, Barbie dolls go for under $15.

And from the letters that I've gotten from parents, their kids love the 3
3/4" stuff.

It's inevitable, I think.  Hasbro will slap the "Limited Edition
Collectible" tag to them.  No way to avoid it - it'll help fuel some
G.I.Joe-mania, scalpers will be scalping them on rec.toys.action-figures,
and some of us true fans might have to really search for them.

As far as file cards go, there BETTER be file cards.  :)

Straight from the keyboard of the allmighty Wheeler, there WILL be filecards.
  Sounds like they'll probably be the same text as the old, perhaps even the

Someone had mentioned that there may be a mad rush to get the new set thats
coming out....that may be true, initially.  However, I can't see them
bringin a huge sum of money right off the bat, at least at Pricefixen-R-Us.
 I would estimate the cost would have to be 19.95 per set. And for people
grabbing them all off the bat....I doubt it.  Something inside me is
telling me that Hasbro will be sure that there will be enough of them to go
around. 

I can imagine people trying to sell the set for $100 or even $150, and if
they did I would wait.  I think its hard to believe that someone would be
willing to spend up to $150 for a set of figures that just came out, when
they could buy a Storm Shadow or Firefly, mint in package for the same
price - and that was out years ago.  

Not only that, but no matter what a toy says on the box, collectors item
this or that, there will ALWAYS be a large group of kids, and adults, that
will get these and open 'em up.  I wouldn't be surprised to see them at
yard sales within the year they come out.

Speaking of collectors items, anyone out there collect bat man stuff?  I've
got a few of the 100th batman figures to part with....a steal at $50 each
:P.  Also, if anyone wants to buy a GI-Joe rhino, mint in box, i have one
for $75.  Its for those big ugly 12" joe special edition things that came
out a couple years ago.

Yoe Joes.
Last Wed. A.M. the city cops were busy, so they sent me and an Airport 
cop on a 911 family fight call  . The male half was not pleased when 
we showed up and during the resulting  struggle got a face full of 
pepper spray. Female half was also intoxicated and upset with the 
treatment of spouse, and  kicked yours truly in the foot. More spray 
discharged and the whole bunch went to jail, including the brorther 
in law who showed up and assaulted the airport officer. ( I gotta get 
another can of spray)
The above led me to being off on the weekend on injury leave.
Thus I hobbled to the flea market on a joe search at the vender I 
scored from several weaks ago. Didn't get anything but follows is 
what I remember from the 3 & 3/4 pile.
( this guy had a lot of generic stuff attached to Joe parts)
an ATeam face minus one arm
a battle Corps Duke with Leathernecks head
parts of a Tiger force Swamp buggy
Tomax head on a Corps body
Spirts head and torso on who knows whats bottom half
with unknown arms.
Looks like I cleaned him out last time of the good stuff.
I also hit TRU and there they have a Corps 12 pack for $20.00
with a jeep and one firing cannon.

Date: Fri, 14 Mar 1997 14:53:02 -0500 (EST)

I was wondering how many "specials" there were after the final GI Joe comic
was released.  I have Special #1 where they reprint an older story (different
art) and at the end it says "The End?"  Just wondering if they ever did a
second special after that.

Also, who many GI Joe videos were released?  I am looking for all of them and
any of the cartoons from TV (not sure if they are different from the videos)

And finally, does anyone know about the Action Force comic from the UK?  How
many were there?  I have #50 and they said the series was stopped and a new
series was started called Action Force Monthly.  Did this ever happen?

Thanks for the help!!

107 loose, mostly complete figures--nearly complete sets of 85, 86, 87,
plus a few from 83 and 88.  Examples:				Mail ins:
	Snake Eyes				Hooded Cobra Commander
	Storm Shadow				Sgt. Slaughter
	Baroness				Fridge

	Lady Jaye, etc.
Also more than 20 vehicles (w/ figures), including:
	WHALE
	Hydrofoil
	HAVOC
	Tomahawk
	Thunder Machine
	THUNDERDROME, etc.
This set is c-7 to c-9, loose, assembled, with very few missing pieces.  I
will only sell this as a set.  Email me for a complete list of figures and
vehicles w/figures.  (I also have many smaller vehicles that I don't have
time to research.)
I was considering selling the whole set for $500, but I'm flexible.  Make
me an offer, I want to liquidate!

I believe that Special #1 was it - published a month after G.I.Joe was
cancelled.  I'm guessing that it was done to capitalize on Todd McFarlane's
popularity.

Family Home Entertainment (FHE) released a bunch of the Sunbow/Marvel
cartoons on tape - like the Mass Device, Revenge of Cobra, Countdown for
Zartan, the Gamesmaster, Cobra Stops the World, Red Rockets Glare, Arise
Serpentor Arise, and Satellite Down.  They may have also released the
G.I.Joe Movie, but I've never seen one, so I don't know.

As for the videos, I've seen posts trying to sell them for $20+, but don't
go for it.  You can find many of these videos in used video tape bins at
Swap Meets or old video stores for $5 each.  I saw several at an antique
store, mint-in-box/never been viewed for $5 each.

Buena Vista Video released a bunch of the DIC cartoons on tape, and you can
still find a lot of these at Walmarts for $3.96 each.

Adrian Faulkner posted info about Action Force here a while back.  He said
it went 15 issues in 1988 and 1989 - it was reprinted in the states as
G.I.Joe European Missions.

I know there was supposedly a reprint of issue #61 with new art by Todd MacFarlane. Is that the one you mean (what's it about?)?


If so, I think that was the only one. Also, if you want the rest of the story after issue #61, well that storyline drags on for another 6 issues...

OK, my turn!  I don't know how many times I've had dreams where I walk into a
store and there sitting on the racks are hundreds of 3 3/4" Joes or original
Star Wars figures.  These are the kinds of dreams you HATE getting up from.
 Anyhoo, the one I remember most has me walking into the local TRU and
finding dozens of early Joes and equiqment.  Which doesn't make too much
sense since this TRU wasn't built any more than 10 years ago.  They were on
an end cap in a not-so-well lit corner of the store.  Everything was on
clearance, but the one thing that sticks out in my mind still for some reason
is the Hiss.  Ah well, we can dream, can't we?

  GI Joe the movie was defintely released on video, by who I'm not sure.  I
remember seeing bins full of them at Kay-Bee on clearance for $5.00 6 to 8
years ago.  Alas I bought none. :(

Well doc, my weird G.I.Joe dream involves finding a lost box of carded
Manimals figures being unloaded at a Kay-Bee toy stores.  I grab the case,
run to the cashier, pay for it, and cackle evilly as I scamper past the
scalpers looking for orange card Star Wars figures as I clutch my multiple
$8000 carded Vortex figures.

One of my roommates is on a Warhammer 40K mailing-list.  Anyways, they're
always on the lookout for other toys/playsets that they can use to create
backgrounds and battlefields for their armies of metal minature monsters.
Apparently, one of them, who lives in either Oakland or Berkeley,
California, found a couple G.I.Joe sets at a garage sale.

THIS FOOL WHO'S NOT A G.I.JOE COLLECTOR GOT A U.S.S. FLAGG, TERRORDROME,
*AND* DEFIANT at a GARAGE SALE for $25!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And to top it all off, he's talking about how he's going to cut them up,
repaint them, and turn them into battle arenas for his "orc" armies.

On one hand, I'm really depressed because it's not me.

On the other hand, it means that these things are still sitting in people's
garage, waiting to be purchased by us for $25.

Go get 'em, guys!

   Hehehehe... great thread!  Do all Joe collectors have these kind of
dreams?  I know I do too.  I dream of going into stores and the shelves are
filled with wonderous varieties of new Joes, everything from new figures to
reassembled/repainted figures like the Brazillian Eco-Force.  It's always
different every time but along the same theme.

   I think we must be obsessive. :)

My pre-recorded copy of the Joe movie says it was put out by Celebrity's Just

Can anyone give me a list of what Storm Shadows equipment looks like?  I have
the backpack, nunchucks, and one sword.  I know he comes with a bow, and when
I got him he was with a bunch of other figs, with equipment everywhere, and
the only bow there was really small, shorter than the backpack.  But I have
another bow that is about 3 inches long(black), that I thought went to him.  

Also I'm looking for the hull siding piece for the U.S.S Flag(the only part
mine is missing), and blueprints for the 1983 G.I.Joe base, and the G.I.Joe
Sea Base(4 legged thing).   Thanks.

I found a comic book store that had a few.  Anyone that wants one let me
know.  I was planning on going back and getting them anyway.  Corey,
I'll save one for you.

The bow was the same as the ones that members of Ninja force came with.  Zartan
sticks out in my mind.  It is fairly large and I think the weapons were black
but they might have been red.

He also came with a black "claw" that strapped on to his hand. Of course, I'm talking about the one in the white with brown spots.

Can anyone help me out?  I need to know the dates (if any) imprinted on two
figures-

Sci-Fi (Star Brigade, 1994) - the one in yellow and green

AND

HEAT Viper (Battle Corps, 1993) - the one in green and black

I'm putting together a G.I.Joe i.d. system for those who have figs that
they're trying to identify - if someone can e-mail me the dates for these
two, I'd appreciate it!

The bow for this version of StormShadow was a thin little bow, with a hole
on one side of it so it could snap onto the back of the backpack.

The other bows you found might go with Storm Shadow v2 - which is a big
compound bow, or Gnawgahyde's, which is really long.  All three bows in
question are black.

   There is yet another different bow too, the one that comes with Skymate.
Although since it is neon pink you probably won't confuse it with the others. :)

Hi gang, I just put in a whole bunch of joe comics for sale on my web site,

Sorry if the prices are a little high, but it's all I could do to not lose

YO JOES!
I have finally (after much searching) found a source for the small tubing
that is used with 3 3/4" Joes.
ie: 'reproduction' hoses
The price is very realistic and the sample I recieved is nice,maybe slightly
less glossy but same size,etc.
This would forever end the search for missing hoses to complete your figures.
problem is I have to buy ,like, 1000 to 2000 feet!!!!
How much of this stuff would any of you guys really want???
Is it worth me ordering it?? The cash outlay is not so bad but I don't want
to sit on thousands of feet. 8-)
Let me know what your thoughts are on 'repro' parts as well as quantity's
realistically needed in the hobby.

	Let's talk cereal.  Can anyone remember how many characters
were featured on the boxes? I can remember at least three.  (Duke,
Shipwreck, Gung-ho)
	There were prizes included, like the Starduster
mini-comics.  I can't remember how many comics there were.  There was the
offer for a t-shirt. (I still have mine!)  Were there any other premiums?  
	
By the way, for those of you who don't know, it tasted like Captain

   I would be interested in some of this.  If I were to buy a bunch, it
would have to end up on some kind of spool (to be managable).  Put me down
as interested and LMK about how much $$$ we're looking at.  Thanks.

I recently ran across a bunch of 93 Star Brigade Figures in a store. 
Well, the regular size figures, not the buffed up huge Star Brigade
figures. Interestingly enough, they only had the Joes (Payload,
Countdown, Roadblock, and Ozone).  I picked up all four.  Does any one
know why the two Cobras (Astro Viper and TARGAT) were not with these
other figures?  Were they harder to find?  Anybody have any extras they
would like to part with?

The word "repro" is kinda loaded.  In Star Wars collecting, the "repro"
thing has gotten out of hand - you just can't buy a loose vinyl cape Jawa
anymore unless you're an expert, because the repro fakes have gotten too
good.

As for hoses, I have no problem with repro hoses.  Flooding the market with
fake hoses isn't going to cause problems for the average collector.  As
long as we don't run into people faking *hard-to-find* weapons and then
passing them off as real, we're ok.

   I know a S.B. TARGAT rotted on the shelf at my nearest TRU for months
before someone finally bought it.  I picked up these two on clearance at
Venture and most of the Joes were gone and the Cobras present.  As far as I
know, none were more rare than the others.

Yeah, it looks like the rest of the Star Brigade figures are going to
rot on that shelf for a while.  It seems Hasbro went half ass on these
figures.  All repaints, missing Payload mold, crappy cards, recycling of
accessories between figures, and some of mine have bad paint jobs.  I
wan't really interested in them at all because I generally only like the
early stuff.  But I decided to get them anyway.

Date: Wed, 19 Mar 1997 02:42:37 -0500 (EST)

I have a few questions for those of you who collect GI Joe comics and cards:

1. Were there any GI Joe card sets that were released outside of the comic
series?  

2. How many cards were there in the comic series?  I have M1-M4.

What were the number ranges for all the comic series?
I have: GI Joe 1-155 + Special #1
Special Missions 1-28
Tales of GI Joe 1-15
European Missions 1-15
Order of Battle 1-4
GI Joe vs. Trans. 1-4
Yearbook 1-4
Action Force 1-50

What was the GI Joe Magazine?

Also, what was the GI Joe Treasury Ed. #1?

Thanks for the help.

I have noticed this a few times.  Not sure why this is happening.  I'll
look into it.  Anyone else notice this and to what extent?

Since we have done the five favorite GI Joe and Cobra figures, why don't
we do that with vehicles and playsets also?  Obviously this might be
difficult because most people always had more figures than vehicles.  So
I guess the thing would be, favorite toy, comic, or movie represented
vehicle or playset, not necessarily one that you owned.

GI Joe

1. Tomahawk--the twin prop helicopter was great.  Detail and coloring
were realistic.

2. Killer Whale--the hovercraft was another great one.  It had good
versatility too, because since it was a hovercraft, it could be adpated
to numerous environments.

3. Skystriker--a classic.

4. Snowcat--cool and realistic both in detailing and simplicity.  Not
loaded down with a shitload of stupid colored and huge guns like later
vehicles were. 

5. Dragonfly--another classic.  Although I would have liked to have seen
GI Joe get an Apache.  The might have later, I can't remember.

Honorable mention:  USS Flagg, just because of its unprecedented size. 
Never had it though.  I didn't particulary like the idea of GI Joe
having their own aircraft carrier.  It kind of clashed with my idea of
them being a special forces-strike force type of team.  I mean shit, the
whole US Navy only had like 14-16 supercarriers.  Still it was cool.

Cobra

1. Rattler--based on one of my favorites, the A-10.  It was nice to see
Cobra finally get some weapons that could give it back to Joe.

2. Night Raven--a cool vehicle that I always had a hard time
incorporating in my play.  It just seemed like Cobra shouldn't have
access to an SR-71 prototype airplane.  But that was just my anal
retentiveness.

3. Terrordrome--never had this either, but always wanted it.  It was
good to see Cobra get some kind of a base.

4. Hydrofoil--good opponent for the hovercraft.

5. Water Mocassin--same

PS  Interestingly enough I found 4 #138s today that still had their
cards packed in. To bad they were two of the same cards instead of a
set.  Oh well.

Yo Joes:

	I have always referred to them as Cobra's Big Choppers with the teeth...

Seriously, I have never heard of an official name given to them. This is probably because they were never brought into the toy format, which is an even bigger mystery! This vehicle got a lot of "page-time" , Cobra used it all the time - so why was there no toy ever modeled after it? It could of had a detachable payload/passenger compartment feature, along with an attachment to lock on to and transport other Cobra vehicles like HISS tanks. It probably would have been one of my favorite vehicles if it would have ever been produced. 

(Hey Eugene! Build us one!... & enter your OG figures into the "Breaking the Barrier" contest...You too, Brian!)

   This happens to me occasionally and I'm not on AOL.  Perhaps this is
occuring because the listserv is queueing and sending listserv messages by
time/date stamps.  If so, having an incorrect local time/date on your PC
could cause email messages to get stamped with incorrect times and therefore
ultimately get things out of order where the listserv is concerned.
However, email messages get stamped with a second time/date when they go
through an ISP's mail system on their way "out".  This second timestamp
should always be valid.  Who knows.  Just a theory. :)

   I'm pretty sure they do.  I know I've seen helicopters that look like
that before but I wouldn't know what they are called.  The library probably
has some good books on military aircraft and the like that could help you
approximately identify the thing.

GI-Joe

1. Dragonfly - Awesome hellicoptor, working rotor, it was just an awesome
toy all the way around.

2. The Whale - Big, came with lots of stuff and could have one heck of a
great time with it.  Used it for 'special missions' ALL the time.  If there
was a toy that left my bedroom/play area the most, this was it.

3. The Motorcycle (original) - This was clasic.  had saddle bags and a
giant gun.  Lots of fun with this, loved it.

4.  The vamp (original) I always liked jeeps, and this was great. Came with
clutch (one of my favorite figures) and was just awesome.  The little gas
tanks were so cool.

5. The rigging platform (i think thats what it was) - I liked this because
it became a sort of a base for me, because I never had the HQ.  Plus, it
matched great with my whale, and I could use it as an on land base too.

Honorable mention:  The HQ - Never had it, but my cousin did - was jealous
for years; the Dune buggy, never had this either; the Heavy artilery laser,
the white jet, and the little green airplane type thing that i don't
remember the name of

Cobra

1. Hydrofoil - This was cool....a cigarette boat that had tons of cool
stuff about it.  Can't even begin to go off on how much i loved it.

2. The Rattler - As far as aircraft went, this was TOPS.  There just hasn't
been a cooler aircraft, joe or cobra.  The removeable cover plates with the
bullet holes was genius.

3. The Claw - This was just neat.  Isn't much else I can say other than
sometimes smaller is better.  I always wished it came with a special figure
because a power hanglider that could go super fast?  way cool.

4.  The Stinger (black jeep) - What can I say?  Same mold as the vamp but
with rockets and plate armor.  And the figure was even cool.  Cobra
Officer, but grey!!  As you can guess, for me simpler is better.

5. The little 4 wheel ATV - This was another neat thing.  I had a couple of
these and loved them. They were really small and could go anywhere.

Honorable Mention:  the 'trouble bubble' never knew what these little one
man things were called, but I always wanted one and liked them on the
cartoon and comics; HISS tank - it was different but cool, and if you were
like me, could take off the turret and hid a couple of 'shock troops'
inside.; the armor suit - neat 'brainwashing' thing, and a great use for
broken figures when the rubber man got lost

whew....thats it for me i suppose, hard to say what i didn't like because i
didn't really buy anything i didn't like.  Except for that dumb thing that
the pods would open up on.

Hola, GI Joe enthusiasts! This is my first post to this list; I'm a vet 
of several other listservs, but just ran across this one yesterday and it 
sounded like fun--so, here I am.

My brothers and I have a ridiculous amount of GI Joe toys left over from 
our youth, and I still think that in its heyday it was one of the coolest 
toy lines ever.

There was a discussion about favorite vehicles in the GI Joe line: here 
are mine.

o Rolling Thunder. As ineffective as it'd be as a real weapon, the huge 
twin cannons make it look really, really cool. And, I always liked 
the separate hovercraft. 

o Tomahawk. Huge; heavily-armed; could hold a lot of figures--what more 
could you want?

o Snow Cat. Mostly because I can actually picture something like that 
being an effective weapons system.

o HISS tank. In my mind, it's the definitive COBRA vehicle.

Those are the ones that stand out in my mind as being my all-time 
favorites.

Anyway, I'm glad to have found the list! I look forward to learning a lot 
of new stuff about a great toy line...

Great topic!  And from the home offices in Qualcomm Stadium, California

TOP FIVE G.I.JOE VEHICLES

5. Crusader/Defiant Space Shuttles
	-Never had them when I was a kid - but when I got a complete
Crusader, I was in awe of this great thing.  Then, I got a beat-up,
incomplete Defiant to go with it.  WOWS.  If you've never seen one in
person, you'll never get the true grasp of how HUGE this thing is.

4. Tomahawk
	-Gotta chime in with everybody with this one.  The best helicopter
- so many cool things about it.

3. Skystriker
	-Seeing this toy was probably what got me to finally buy my first
G.I.Joe toys.  Has there EVER been a realistic war toy as cool as this one?
ANY toyline - nothing comes close.

2. U.S.S. Flagg
	-I never got this one - always always always wanted this one.
Begged like all heck for it Christmas 1985 - never got it.  I still don't
have it - but I'm working on it!  I'll have one soon - I swear it!  :)

1. WHALE Hovercraft
	-This thing was the bomb - my WHALE got destroyed, b/c I played
with it so often.  I smashed it, dropped it, threw it into the bathtub,
into the friend's pool, launched the sea sled, broke all the control vanes,
lost the wheels, broke the launch ramp, and threw Cutter on the cheesy
little Vespa that came with it.


TOP FIVE COBRA VEHICLES

5. Cobra Mamba
	-This thing was sick looking - I never understood how the darn
rotor blades turned without hitting each other.  I finally got one, and I
was IMPRESSED.  This thing is a nice vehicle - weird as all hell, but nice.


4. Cobra Terrordrome
	-Never had it when I was a kid - never really wanted it.  But now
that I've got it, this thing is huge.  Cobra's got a hell of a nice pad -
and a great Firebat to go with it.

3. HISS Tank
	-The quintessential Cobra tank - Cobra never went into battle
without one of these guys.

2. Rattler
	-I'm not the only one who thought this thing was great - again,
vehicles like this one are a big part of why G.I.Joe was so cool.  After
getting this thing, I went to library and read every article I could find
about the A-10 Warthog.  And G.I.Joe #34 is one of my favorite comics of
all time.

1. Moray Hydrofoil
	-This was smooth, sleek, fast, and heavily armed - the perfect
adversary for my WHALE.  G.I.Joe #40 is another one of my favorites of all
time.

Here's mine.
1. Persuader-  Had a very cool driver.  The sports car of tanks.
2. Killer W.H.A.L.E.- extremely versatile.  Had lots of goodies.
(Motorcycle was my favorite) By the way what was the hatch on the bottom
for?  I put weapons in there.
3. Tomahawk- did everything.
4. Recon sled - funky, but I liked the rear gun and radar screen.
5. Hammer- good detailing.  Carried lots of troops.


Cobra
1. Condor- Didn't have it, but it seemed to be the mother of all bombers.
2. A.G.P.- Awesome pilot.  Always imagined it turning at right angles.
3. H.I.S.S.- Classic vehicle.
4. F.A.N.G.- " ." Simple, but deadly.
5. Thunder Machine- big guns.

I know that there were only 4 different Marvel cards, packaged in #135,
136, 137, and 138 (and labeled M1, M2, M3, and M4).  There were many
more packaged with the figures.  There were about 16 of these, just
numbered 1-16 or so.  I saw a complete, uncut sheet of these for sale at
a G.I.JOE show in Pasadena, CA after the time they were on the figures. 
Four of these 16 or so cards had the same pictures as the M (for Marvel)
cards, only the picture was a zoom in (or out) shot of the Marvel one. 
Also, at least one of these cards was rotated as well.
That^Òs about all I can remember about them.  I think I may have a couple
of the figure ones around somewhere.  I do have all four Marvels, as I
always bought the comics new the day they came out.  And I really miss
reading the new story every month, too.  That^Òs one thing I REALLY hope
will start up again with the new figures being released.  With Marvel^Ñs
current predicament, it^Òs probably unlikely, but a Joe did mention in
#155 that the Pit may be reopened someday.
Here^Òs hoping!

   This magazine was available on grocery store racks too, which is where I
got it.  I want to say that it ran for about 6 quarterly issues but I'm not
sure.  I have two or three issues of it.  It was pretty kid-oriented.  It
had original stories, some artwork, some paper games, and such.  It
reprinted several Hasbro promotions (for vehicles and figures) but nothing
original.  It also had applications for the GI Joe Fan Club and stuff.  I
recall that at least one issue had a few official flag points that you could
cut out (as if we needed more).  I'll have to go back and take a look at the
issues I have and post some more info.

There was a really cheesy sled type thing that went in there.  If you
pushed the button on the top, it would shoot out from the launcher.  It
could hold one figure.  Was cool, but sometimes didn't work and was easily
lost.

>How many of you have the entire GI Joe comic collection from Marvel? 
Well, let me say that I'm working on it... 
 
I have probably 65 or so (a little less than half) of the "Real American Hero" 
series by Marvel.  All 4 of the "Order of Battle."  The (first?) 4 yearbooks. 
A handful of "Special Missions," ranging from 1 through 27(? the death of the 
Oktober Guard issue).  And "Tales of" #2.  So, I've got quite the mish-mash of 
different titles... 
 
>How about Dark Horse? 
You mean that EXTREMEly bad series?  No thanks, not interested...

Hello all,

I've got a few Street Strikers new in box that I'd like to trade.  If
your not familiar with this vehicle it is a repaint of the VAMP (or
Stinger) that is dark green and black with sliver doors and roof.   
It's from the Street Fighter series.  It is an excellent vehicle as long
as you don't put the Street Fighter stickers on.  :)  Let me know if
anyone is interested in a trade.  Right now I'm looking for the 93 Star
Brigade Astro Viper and TARGAT or comics or anything you might have.

Conor

It's the big G.I.Joe show that's taking place up in San Jose, the last
weekend in June.  It's co-sponsored by Hasbro, and it's supposed to be
huge.  The custom figure contests, both 3 3/4" and 12" size, are sponsored
by Lee's AFN.

Of course, it costs $100 to get in the door, just to get the right to show
off the customs.

I'm going to pass.

As for building a Cobra Transport Chopper, YIKES.  Involves too much skill
- more than what I have.  :)

In my dreams!  :)  I've got more than half - but I'm missing a LOT.
Especially those after I stopped buying them - after 90 or so.


>How about Dark Horse?

Dark Horse?  They.... they make that "extreme"-ly bad comic book based on
that "extreme"-ly poor toy, don't they?  :)

Okay, this is sort of a 2-parter: 
 
1.  Anybody got any catalogs they wanna part with?  I'd go for ANY, really, 
    so long as they're not totally dog-eared/torn/splattered/covered 
in	grease  
    stains or other unmentionables...  I'd be willing to negotiate via private  
    e-mail on prices... 
 
2.  Did it really CHEESE anyone else about the inconsistent packaging of the 
    catalogs with later merchandise?  See, when I got back into Joe in late 
'94, 
    I was hoping that I'd be able to snag catalogs from some of these later 
    releases, but no such luck!  As we all know, the SF vehicles (the ones 
    that were SF:RAH, not the movie figs) didn't come with catalogs (were 
    they even LISTED in the catalogs?), nor did some of the vehicles which 
    are pictured in the late '93(?) catalog: the one entitled "In This Issue" 
    with the picture of the Low-Light look-a-like wearing the SWAT Assault 
    Mission Gear.  For instance, the Armor-Bot (what the h*ll was with that 
    concept, anyway?  I'm still debating whether I liked it better than the 
    production model...  Perhaps if they'd done it in some other color?) and 
    the Monster Blaster are both pictured, but the actual toys didn't come 
    with catalogs.  And, assuming that was the last catalog produced, there 
    are things like the Razor-Blade and Manta Ray that didn't even make it into 
    catalogs, period!  *sigh* 
 
Hopefully, we'll see HTG do the right things this fall, but only Time will 
tell (as Tom Wheeler is SWORN to secrecy... ;)

Subject pretty much covers it...  Would like to pay something akin to the 
closeout prices I saw them going for (RB was $6@ToyWorks, MR was $5, I think),

In a message dated 97-03-20 01:20:22 EST, you write:

<< >What was the GI Joe Magazine?
 
 Beats me.  Anybody?
 
The GI Joe magazine was released beginning in 84 or 85 and lasting til at
least 88 or 89.  I believe it was quarterly and it was sold in stores like
Toys 'R' Us.  I only have the first issue, which includes original cover art,
a poster, letters and pictures from little kids, *and* an original GI Joe
comic story by Larry Hama(!).  It also included stories about real kids and
astronauts (you know, *real* American heroes :-).  I remember flipping
through an issue years later with Storm Shadow (88) on the cover.  This was
the last issue I remember and it did *not* have a comic story, so I don't
know how many of these special comics Larry did, but there was at least one.

  >Also, what was the GI Joe Treasury Ed. #1?
 
 Marvel reprinted G.I.Joe #1 in a giant sized Treasury Edition - it was like
 24" high, 12" wide.
  >>

Actually it was more like 13 1/4" by 10".

For me it's got to be:

G.I. Joe			=09

Dragonfly (really a US Army XH1 "Cobra", and that made it all the more =
interesting)
Skystriker - Got agree (Issue 34 was one of the best comics)
VAMP - One of the first things I ever got, and one of the most durable.
HQ - Everything you needed - parking, jail, and a turret until the next =
year of course.
Snow Cat - The only half track in the bunch, why was it restricted to =
Arctic Duty?

Cobra's=20

Fang - small, sleek, and a roomy cockpit!
Rattler - again Issue #34 says it all, and Wild Weasel was always kind =
of mysterious.
HISS - the original tank. I used to love charging head on at the Joes =
and crushing them under the 	tracks. Reminds me of the AT-AT's from Star =
Wars.
Devastator(?) Not sure, about the name, but the half truck / half tank =
the Dreadnoks drove. It just 	        appeals to something basic to =
anyone who has been stuck in traffic.

I'm pretty close. I have:

Marvel's 36 till the end (where they closed the pit)
	The special issue.
	GI Joe Digest 1-13 which covers 1-36
	Tales of GI Joe 1-15
	Special Missions 1-27 (or was it 28?)
	Order of Battle 1-4, and the trade paperback
	Yearbooks 1-3
	GI Joe vs. the Transformers (lame as it is)

	Were there more?

Let me know and I'll check them out.

A little of topic, but anyone read the Nth man series also by Larry Hammer? Any opinions?

I have #1-155 Real American Hero.
       #1-28  Special Missions
       #1-15  European Missions
       #1-15  Tale of GI Joe
       #1-4   Transformers vs. GI Joe

       #1-5   GI Joe Digest (need #6 and #7)
       #1-4   Yearbooks
       #1     GI Joe Special

The real question is...Does anyone have any that I don't have?

About half of these comics were obtained in the past 6 months, so I
encourage anyone who wants to get the definitive collection to go for it!
It's a hell of a lot cheaper than trying to get more and more figures.
Funner?  Well, you just need to decide for yourself.

Well, I'm working on the whole collection.  I have most of the spinoffs
(yearbooks, special missions, etc.) and now I'm filling in some holes on
the main collection.

I actually do have the Dark Horse comics.  I'm not ashamed to admit it. 
:)  It's not their fault Hasbro made a crappy toy.  Well I guess it is
their fault since they decided to make a comic out of a crappy toy.

People looking for Joe Comics:

Many comics can be had for $.50, even $.25 in the comic book newsgroup.
You see the market has imploded on itself and people just want to get rid
of them for whatever they can get.  Shop around.

BTW, Shop around and trading should be the motto of this list, IMHO.

    Nope.  They're talking about the hatch in the middle underneath the
hovercraft, not on the one in the bottom/front that housed the little sled.

have the time.

I agree I got all but the digests in the last 6-8 months too.  I also got all
but 4 of the Action Force series from the UK.  I got a lot for $0.10-$0.25
each!!!  I remember when #2 was about $40

Good luck to anyone who is pushing for the whole set.  I actually had a
harder time getting stuff in the 100's; I was able to get 1-92 the first few
hours I started looking.
I am willing to help anyone who needs it, just let me know.

Joe:
5.)Armor-Bot:The big, 2 foot robot!
4.)The Avalanche.
3.)Wolverine Tank: A woman drives it. Nuff said. :)
2.)General:This was always the one I strived for, the 4' tall lug! :)
1.)Defiant:My fave space vehicle, more than the Armor-Bot.

COBRA:
5.) Bio-Lab:Anything involving mutations is cool. :)
4.) SNAKE Armor:A nice little body armor with a cannon and a shield.
3.) BUGG:Well...This was too weird! :)
2.) Cobra Terror Dome:This one was hard to put together, but after my
parents helped me, it was a joy. It still adorns the top of my TV.
1.) The HammerHead:I liked it because it was a series of tanks and
ships. I think it's the best overall, but I lost one of the cockpit
windshields.

I would like to explain why I was selling my Joe Comics for so high, it's
simple business, the more books I buy the cheaper I get them, the cheaper I
sell to you, I started them at $1.50 then dropped them to $1.00, yesterday I
made a great deal that has allowed me to drop them to 50 cents. I'm a simple
guy who does not want to rob anyone, if I can help anyone on the list I would
gladly do so. So if you still are interested check out my web page at:

   Out of curiosity, who's been on your case about the price of your comics?
$1.50 doesn't strike me as completely unreasonable given that many earlier
issues were going for $15+ a few years ago.

Didn't you mean to say Yahoo!  :)  Actually, just go to:

It's definitely a cool editor.

Thad was a bit angry at my "high" prices and that I posted a for sale add on

I don't mind he has a right to voice his opinion, but sometimes I do wonder

I think I bought a pack of them once. As far as I know, they were for
both 12" and 3 3/4". After all, it's the 30th anniversary of all of G.I. Joe.

Hola;

I've been giving some thought to expanding on the collection of GI Joe 
stuff that I have left over from when I was a kid, and thought some of 
the vets on this list might be able to help me out with a question I 
have. I'm not really interested in collecting MOC figures or MIB vehicles 
(my philosophy is that the toy is what's interesting, not the silly box), 
but one thing I would really like to have is an original Firefly figure 
MOC. Firefly is one of my favorite GI Joe figures of all time, and I 
think it'd be really cool to have one of 'em MOC. I've seen price guides 
with listings for MOC GI Joe figures, but am wondering--just how easy or 
difficult is it to track them down? I follow Star Wars collecting pretty 
closely, and know that it's still pretty easy to get ahold of most of the 
vintage figures MOC, but don't know if the same holds true for GI Joe 
figures. Thoughts?

	What got me was how some catalogs didn't include all the figs and
vehicles.  Certain vehicles I didn't even know existed until recently,
and some like the Desert Apache are in danger of being forgotten.

Take it easy, Rajesh.  We aren't THAT anal.


Hey, who still has the G.I.Joe Headquarters?  I have one and it is like my
only vehicle.  I am just on this list cause I used to love G.I. Joe and
lived for it when I was younger.  I do not currently collect, although I
have a couple figs and sets left in my collection.  Loved: Falcon and Storm
Shadow the most.  Snake Eyes was good in the show and comic, but the figs
always seemed a little unproportioned to me.  Like version 3's head was too
small, for a good example.

Favourite vehicles?  G.I.Joe HQ was cool as a playset, but the Flagg just
can't lose cause of its sheer size and power and awe.  When I was young, I
was probably on a little bit bigger than the box!!!  Cobra Vehicle?  What
happened to that awesome Cobra plane they always had in the cartoon that
had the red cobra head on the front that opened up, and carried like a
billion and one Cobra officers and HISS Tanks and stuff?  It was later
featured in one of the opening credit sequences when some Joes landed on
it, punching Cobra Officers out as they boarded on their jet backpacks.
Why was this never made into a playset?  It probably would have been no
bigger than the Flagg at the very most.

OK, that's my glib for the month.  Probably write again in awhile.  This
mailing list is the bomb.  Keep up the good work.

Two Things:

1.   1988 Shockwave (Regular, not Night Force) came with a gun and a
handgun.  Eugene's Web page says they should be black, but I just recieved
them in a trade and they are blue.  At first I figured they were accessory
pack weapons, but I looked in DeSimone's guide and the weapons next to #190
Shockwave look like they may be blue (It is hard to tell since the
background is blue, Stupid DeSimone should have used white!).  When
compared to #187 Shockwave Night Force (who's weapons are distinctly black)
the guns to #190 look lighter, almost blue.  Help please!

2.  In respone to RajeshJag@aol.com's quick finger pointing about comics:
I just felt that this list should be for expaning one's collection, not
one's pocket book.  Besides, I was not upset about one message politely
pointing a collector in the right way to find GI Joe comics for sale.  I
was upset that he posted a For Sale ad in this group three times, there is
a proper place for ads, and it is:

rec.arts.comics.marketplace

I have the entire set, why do I want to read more ads?  Also, I know for a
fact the demand for comics is fairly small in this group.  I have offered
two lots of 25+ comics for free in this group in the past 3 months, all I
asked for was shipping.  Both times I only got one response.

Yo Joe,

Thaddeus Gregory Moren   DOH!

At first, I thought carded Joes would be harder than heck to find, but when
I started looking around, they're really not all that hard to find.  From
browsing the USENET and the pages of Toy Shop in the past few months, I
can't think of a carded figure that I haven't been able to find (well, one
actually - more on this later).

They're certainly not as easy to find as vintage Star Wars figures - heck,
with Star Wars figures, there're so many ads, it's almost a case of
fighting them back ("no! no!  I don't want a 21 back Snaggletooth!  Back!
Back!").

The lack of demand is a good thing.  I found a nice carded Tripwire - who
books for $70-$80 - for $30 at an antique store.  It'd been there for a
while.

Of course, the problem with Firefly is that he's P-O-P-U-L-A-R.  With him,
the first StormShadow, Snake Eyes 1 and 2, Scarlett, Baroness, and Lady
Jaye - these are probably the creme-de-la-creme of the older Joes (and
maybe earrings Zarana).

Still, there isn't a heck of a lot of demand for carded Joes.  You can
still find plenty of figs from 1985 and up for $20 or cheaper.  And not all
of them are Crystal Ball and Chuckles!  :)  I've seen Tele-Vipers for $20,
Jinx for $20, etc.

The best places to look for good carded figs - the USENET and the pages of
Toy Shop.  I know of a couple good dealers of carded figs online - such as
Rick Pelletier <PELL.TOYS.CORVAIRS.RI@worldnet.att.net> and Digital Toys
<http://members.aol.com/banthatrad/web/DigitalToys.html>.  And Toy Shop is
a must - a couple months ago, I picked up a carded C-7 Hawk (1986) for $10
from Pat Vandemeer's Memory Lane Toys.

As always, keep patient and keep at it, when looking for a particular fig.
I found my Rock n Roll (83) - which was the first G.I.Joe I ever owned,
carded, for $30.

Oh yeah - before I forget - the only carded figure I've yet to find is a
straight-arm Zap with the early variant bazooka.  If you ever see a carded
straight arm Zap that has an abnormally huge freaking bazooka - LET ME
KNOW.  I gotta gets me one of those.  :)

I've got it.  I loved it - it had so many parts, it used to always get
trashed by Firefly.  He'd set bombs everywhere and blow up the motorpool,
sending filecards flying sky-high!

For those who didn't know, the motorpool had a compartment to hold
filecards.  It could hold like 15 - any more and the thing wouldn't shut.

Of course, the problem with it was the number of parts.  I ended up losing
a whole bunch.  Thankfully, at an area swap meet, I found a kid selling off
a box of toys he'd taken from his closet.  The remains of one destroyed HQ
was there - and I got the cannon, the flag, and the last few parts from it.

Tell me about it.  Ugh - I tried to use a left over Snake Eyes 3 head for

I had a love/hate relationship with that flying Cobra head.  On one hand,
Cobra needed a transport jet.  On the other hand, the aerodynamics of a
flying Cobra head can't be all that smooth.

Aww, who cares.  It looked cool.  :)

The HQ, this is probably the "vehicle" I have which is in the best shape.
I used it often, but not as often as my other vehicles, since it took so
long to drag out and set up.

Now I have a question for everyone on the group.  Personally, collecting
GIJoe  for me is not for seeing how many MOC figs I can have.  I would
rather have a bunch of loose figures that I could set up in a battle
scence (my next project after I move into a bigger place), rather than a
few MOC figs that would sit on my shelf and do nothing.  Of course if I
were to get say, an MOC Snake-Eyes (1) I wouldn't open the package, but
looking for MOC figs is not what I think this is all about.  LMK...

I'm in the same boat.  The only time I ever buy carded Joes is when they're
exceptionally cheap (like $5 or less).  Breaking out those shoeboxes full of
Joes is just too much fun, it beats the heck out of opening a box of carded
figures to stare at once in awhile.  Granted, I don't open most of the MOC
figures I pick up, since there's just so darn many in my basement that are
loose.  Besides, buying loose means I actually have a shot at getting every
figure without having to drop out of college due to high costs of carded
figures.  :)

MOC collectors, UNITE against the infidels!  Someone grab the rubber hoses
and the Brainwave scanner!  :)

I, too, am a loose collector at heart.  And someday I'll have one of each
of the 500+ figs (good god, this is going to take forever!).   But if I
find a nice MOC fig, I won't pass it up.

There are two big drawbacks to collecting MOC.  Firstly, the money involved
is EVIL.  I don't think I'll ever be able to afford a MOC Baroness, Snake
Eyes, or Storm Shadow.

The other drawback is the space it takes up.  I can't exactly throw a bunch
of MOC figures into a shoebox.  Maybe one or two.

So why do I do it?

Because they look SO DAMN COOL hanging on the wall.  Much better than
pictures of my FAMILY or something.  :)

Quite nervewracking when I found it.  Like Oliver in the Bloom County when
he found alien life.  "Excuse me.... I'm flush with the heady exhiliration
of scientific triumph." :)

Last summer, I bought a Zap online, and it came with a weird bazooka.  It
was green, just like Zap's normal bazooka, but had extra handles to it.  I
showed it around to a few other Joe experts, we concluded it was Joe in
nature, but it wasn't listed in any guide book (that I'd seen).

The only clue I had was in the G.I.Joe catalogue - the one with Duke and
Zartan on the cover.  In it, there's a picture of the G.I.Joe Accessory
Pack #2 - and there's the picture of the strange green accessory.

Finally, I asked Rick Pelletier, who knows Kirk Bozigian (one of the head
guys at Hasbro in the early 80s who helped bring about our Real American
Hero).  Kirk said that it was an early model bazooka, that was halted early
in the production run of straight-armed Zap, because it broke Zap's thumbs
too easily.

Anyways, since then I've kept my eyes out for a carded straight-arm Zap
that has this elusive bazooka.  Haven't found one yet, which leads me to
believe that maybe I somehow the bazooka never made it to stores, or that
some foreign toy company, like Palitoy or Playskool, made these bazookas.

Either way, if anyone sees one, please lemme know!  :)

OK, I know what everyone is going to think so lets make this as painless as
possible.  I just have a few quick questions about this series.

1. I found 6 of 7 regular figures; were there any others released that were
not pictured on the back of the packages?  What about the Deluxe figures;
were there more than 4?

2. How many vehicles/playsets were released?  I found the: Spitfire, Road
Bullet, and Detonator.  Were there any others?

3. Is this line dead?  


I found all these on sale, the vehicles were 1/2 price so I HAD to get them!!
 Please, don't hold it against me.

Sorry to get off the subject of the 3 3/4", but I didn't know anywhere else
to go.

   The 30th Salute set of cards is for GI Joe in all forms although it's
pretty even distributed between 12" and 3 3/4" Joe, with only a couple of
cards dedicated to Sgt. Savage and GI Joe Excrement.

   I don't really do the carded figure thing either, in fact I'm notorious
for opening things that most people probably wouldn't open like foriegn
figures, the Lunartix aliens, and etc.  It just isn't as much fun for me
if they're stuck inside a package.  If I were infinitely rich I might try to
work on a carded collection along-side my loose one, but that just ISN'T
practical at all. :)

I think we can assume it died a horrible death.  That is probably why
you found everything on sale.  I always thought it was funny that Dark
Horse was quick to make a comic about a line of bad toys.  I think they
only got about 8 comics in before they went on "hiatus".

Yo Joes:

	What is the OFFICIAL number of different 3&3/4" Joes produced (not including color variations)? How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie-Roll Tootsie Pop? The world may never know...


	ALSO, I really like my Joes. Therefore I want to enjoy them. I can't do this with them in the package. But I can respect you MOC/MIB collectors out there. If one is planning on selling someday, it is only logical to keep the condition of one's investment as is. I would enjoy seeing someone's MOC/MIB collection just as much as if it were loose, simply because it's G.I.Joe. We all enjoy G.I.Joes. How we enjoy really shouldn't be an issue.

	

	Variety is the spice of life...

The Weird Bazooka Zap exists.  I got one when I was younger.  I had to buy
about 3 Zaps back then due to the constant thumb breaking.  One of them had
the weird Bazooka.  However, I don't think that the most common one was
made to avoid thumb breaking.  His thumb broke, no matter which Bazooka he
had.  In conclusion, the weird Bazooka exists, It came with Zap in early
1982.  I bought one in Turlock, CA back then.  I sold it in a yard sale and
used the money to buy Run-DMC albums, boy am I a fool.

Okay, so's y'all don't think I'm just the biggest whiner in the world, let 
me clarify that... 
 
My previous "gripe" was about the fact that none of your later vehicles came 
with/were included in (near as I can tell) the product catalogs. 
 
This is just as legitimate, in its own right, if'n y'all'll just hear me 
out...  :)  (How'd y'all like m' drawl? :) 
 
"In the beginning," Joe was great, not only for the originality of concept 
and depth of character each figure had, but also for the fact that you could 
relate their weapons and accessories to real-life weapons (e.g., Snake's Uzi), 
or at least to what were supposed to be concept weapons (Flash's/Snow Job's 
XMLR eXperimental Military Laser Rifles).   
 
And, we all know in the end that we got shafted with "Figure plus accessories," 
most of which were generic, neon-or-otherwise-horrendously-colored items that  
most Joes would have been ASHAMED to carry.  But what about that interim 
period, 
wherein we didn't yet have so many repaints ("re-deco's"), and the figures 
still  
had a semblance of individual weaponry?  I appreciated it, to be sure, but I 
think 
they were more than just a little "off-base" (AWOL? :) with some of them. 
Example: 
my now-decarded (thanks, son) Topside supposedly came with 'assault rifle' (a 
step  
in the direction of 'genericity' to come), helmet, 3 missiles, missile 
backpack,  
and missile launcher.  Okay, the backpack does have that neat little stand 
that you 
can flip down and 'transform' the backpack into a supposed missile launcher 
(think  
we could do a conversion, a la Boba Fett? :), but was it a separate accessory? 
 NO.   
Or howzabout the SAW-Viper?  He supposedly came with heavy machine gun 
(check),  
ammo belt (yup), 'bio-pod' (bipod? check), 2 hoses and a backpack.  Okay, the 
bp was 
for carrying ammo in, I guess, and besides, I always liked characters carrying 
backpacks.  But!  a) whither the hoses?  and b) what the heck were they gonna 
plug  
'em into, a PA system?  That'd be some SERIOUS 'Rock n' Roll,' hmm?  *smirk* 
 
Anyhow, I'm sure there are other examples out there, I just don't have too many 
MOC figs to check out and it's basically trivial, right?  ;) 
 
LMK your feelings on this!  Or tell me I'm crazy and I should just go sit in 
my corner until the new figs come out... :-(

One goes on each side, with the longer side of the angle going next to the centre part.

Hey guy,

   Did you know that each time I receive an email from you a file gets
downloaded (decoded) from the message called "RERecent"?  Is this on
purpose?  Just curious.  Heard about a Microsoft Mail "virus" that propogates
itself this way, check http://www.mcafee.com.

Unless we're talking about two different bazookas, I believe I have one of
these, allbeit loose.  Seems like a rather odd coinkidink that at least two
of us on the listserve have this if it were only foreign or a production
sample of some sort.  It probably was released quite early for a while here
in the US, then faded out to the more traditional bazooka we're all used to
seeing with ouring Zap.  Any others have thoughts on this one?

Official?  Yipes, that depends.  Do you consider the Earrings Zarana
and w/o Earrings Zarana to be two different figures, or one?  How about
the Straight-Arm/Swivel Arm figures.  Are these two each, or just one? 
And the Action Pilot and Action Sailor - there're two colorized
versions of each (which I realize is not on my website, I have to add
that).  One or two?  


Well, assuming that you consider the Zarana to be one fig, the
Straight/Swivel Arms to be one each, and the Pilot and Sailor to be one
each, my last count was 502 figures.  Of course, that isn't official. 
The last four times I've counted, I've gotten four different numbers. 



One of these days, I'll figure it out.  :)  Does anyone know for sure,
so I can save myself the effort?

Well, you ain't crazy.  The figs did get more careless and careless, until
the end, they didn't even bother to give us personalized accessories.  No
one's going to argue that.

The good thing though is that according to those who saw the 1995
assortment of Joes (read: Thomas Wheeler), the Joe line was headed in the
right direction.  The G.I.Joes were going to get back to traditional
military lines with the Battle Corps: Rangers, while Cobra was going to get
more and more outlandish.  I can live with that.  I can even live with
Ninja Commandoes and Lunartix Aliens - as long as there's enough of a root
basis in regular, good ole fashioned soldiers.

Hey - as long as my soldiers don't come with the same bright yellow weapons
that Lobotmaxx comes with, I'll be happy.  :)

Far fetched,but...here goes...
When I was younger,the first time I saw the GI JOE movie,I thought The Big Lob character 
was 'the Fridge'.........of course I realized after a bit that it wasn't,BUT...
What are the odds that Big Lob was intended to be Refridgerator Perry,and had to be 
changed for some reason(perhaps Mr.Perry didn't want to be associated with the movie,or 
something like that)...That could be an explanation for why they never issued a Big Lob
figure,seeing as how he wasn't a monor player in the movie.
Anyways...what do you think?

Hmmm...what sort of music do fans of Joe listen to??

I'm a big Classic Rock fan.  Zeppelin, CCR, Lynyrd Skynyrd, etc.  Also
love disco <g> and Weird Al...  TV Theme songs are a must, as well.

And of course, the Joe Theme is key.

Anyone know of where we can get the Joe's favorite, Cold Slither??

I can still remember sitting in a Arby's a few weeks after I saw the Joe
movie on TV, and going into the toy store next door.  They had just
gotten some new Joes in (new series).  I thrilled to see a Jinx and
Falcon figure (ended up getting Chuckles that night :), but I was very
disappointed when I looked on the back of the card to see what Joes had
come out...no Big Lob.  I was a very frustrated kid...  Ah, but I
digress...

My feelings on why they never issued a Big Lob figure is simple.  He
really didn't have a whole lot to appeal to kids.  What weapons did he
use in the movie besides the generic Joe rifle?  None.  He wasn't really
a 'soldier', he was just a tall lanky kid in a basketball jersey that
couldn't keep his mouth shut, talking in cliched sports lingo ("Big Lob
goes for the gold!"  "The crowd goes bananas!", etc.)  What could his
military specialty have been?  PT?  C'mon...

(And on a personal note, why the heck didn't Chuckles ever talk in the
movie????  Why did he use brute force and a throw a missile to stop the
HISS???  Not very good qualities for a undercover infiltrator.  Another
way off characterization that Larry Hama fixed well, I thought...)

I'm tempted to write some sort of rap here,
But that won't go well with my peer-s.

OUCH.  That was awful.

The best rap jams are always from A Tribe Called Quest and the solo members
of N.W.A..

Of course, I tinker with the guitar, too, so I listen to plenty of U2,
Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and They Might Be Giants.  Seal, Sting, and Sarah
McLachlan when I'm feeling mellow.

And I'm a huge movie score nut, so I have plenty 'o John Williams, James
Horner, Patrick Doyle, Hans Zimmer, Thomas Newman, Danny Elfman, and Randy
Edelman.

Actually I don't have a problem with the 'generic' (tree) accessories.
but DO miss the backpacks.
After all in a real military the troops would have the same weapons, not all
different.
I think that there could be a happy medium between 'generic' and unique
accessories and we'd (mostly) be happy.

Here's a question, remember in the cartoon that there were always a bunch
of generic looking GI-Joe types, dressed all in green?  Were they just
generic guys, or were they supposed to be the figure equivalant of Grunt,
since he never seemed to appear anywhere?

According to the Tomart price guide, there were Zaps issued with either a 1-handle bazooka or a 2-handle bazooka issued in 1982.

I don't remember this dude at all....this WAS the GI-Joe movie with
Golobuluss, right?  where Cobra commander turned into some snake like
thing, after becoming more or less a 'good guy'?  (he always was such a pussy)

If you notice the filecards, none of the 'codenamed' Joes are lower than
SP-4's.  I always thought that the generics were either regular Army
just stationed with the Joes, or Joe Privates that hadn't earned
codenames yet.  Maybe guys that were with the Joes before they had to go
through the Joe qualification course that Larry Hama described?

Sorry if this is off topic.

Huh, I didn't know. I send stuff to work all the time. I do use Microsoft's 
mail (Outlook here, and Exchange at work). I only have one hard drive, so 
I'm not sure why it would be D:\Download\RERecent. I run Symantec's 
anti-virus software constantly, so I'm pretty sure I'm clean. I have turned 
off the option to send messages using MIME format, so hopefully that will 
stop the silly message. Either that or the signature file I set up is 
corrupt.

Hey guy,

   Did you know that each time I receive an email from you a file gets
downloaded (decoded) from the message called "RERecent"?  Is this on
purpose?  Just curious.  Heard about a Microsoft Mail "virus" that 
propogates
itself this way, check http://www.mcafee.com.

Interesting - I don't consider the two Zaranas separate, but you're right,
they are different molds.  But the straight-arms?  How about it everybody?
Would your collection (or is your collection) complete without having both
the swivel arm and straight arm versions of the first 16 figs?

I think Desimone is smoking CRACK.  The hooded Cobra Commander that came
with the Collectors Kit is identical to the one that was first released in
1984.  Even the filecard that came with it is dated 1984.  How can that
figure be considered new?  I get the feeling he was really stretching for
stuff to photograph for the second guide book - but that's just me.

Well, Grunt did appear a few times in the cartoon.  In "Spell of the
Siren", he was clearly pictured as one of the hypnotized guys.  And in
"Worlds Without End", he was one of the three guys who stayed with Steeler
and Clutch in the other world.

As for the generic Joes, I always figured that they needed lackeys to do
the grunt work.  If the Joes were specialists and Cobra had unlimited
resources (like they do in the cartoon), then G.I.Joe needed lots and lots
of E-2s and E-3s to run around, sweep the floors, fetch Duke's coffee, hold
energy mirrors, etc.

I always assumed that the comics, being more realistic, kept the Joe team
small and Cobra's scale somewhat believable.  No unlimited supply of flying
helicopter fortresses and huge cargo jets with red cobra heads.  :)

Really?  Does it say anything more about it?  What is the price difference
between the two?  I'm curious, since this seems like a major variation and
it didn't seem to be very well-known (at least, not in this mailing list :)
).

I listen to all types of music, once it sounds good I don't care what
classification it has. Same goes with movies.

Date: Fri, 28 Mar 1997 15:39:22 -0500 (EST)

There's been some interest in the original Larry Hama story from G.I. Joe
Magazine #1, so I decided to post this transcript to the list for all to
enjoy.  G.I. Joe Magazine was published  by Telepictures Publications, Inc.
This is from Issue number 1, the Winter 1985 issue.  The story was four pages
long.

"Hijack!"
Story by Larry Hama / Illustrated by Paul Kirchner

Page 1

Panel 1
(A NASA Space Shuttle is flying over the desert, surrounded by two Cobra
Rattlers.)
SPLASH TITLE: Hijack!
SHUTTLE PILOT (over intercom): Mayday! Mayday! Space Shuttle under attack by
unknown hostile aircaft!
BARONESS (RATTLER GUNNER) (over intercom): We're not unknown and we're not
attacking you!  We're Cobra... and we're hijacking you!

Panel 2
(Baroness and Wild Weasel are flying a Rattler.)
WILD WEASEL (RATTLER PILOT): A subtle difference, my dear Baroness!
BARONESS: Accuracy Counts, Wild Weasel. "Almost" only counts in horseshoes
and Hand Grenades!  (Over intercom) Come in Space Shuttle!

Panel 3
(Two people in green hats with churches on them are flying a space shuttle.)
BARONESS (over intercom): You will follow us to a new landing site -- or we
will blow you out of the sky!
SHUTTLE PILOT (to co-pilot): I don't like it, but it looks as if we have no
choice!

Page 2

Panel 1
(In the desert: Duke is on the phone; The other Joes (Gung-Ho, Wild Bill,
Cover Girl, and others) are unloading the Wolverine and VAMP II from a
transport plane; a Skystriker flies overhead.)
NARRATIVE: Later...
DUKE: Ace, this is Duke. We'll be ready to start ground-search procedures as
soon as we get our hardware off-loaded!  I don't suppose you've got the
shuttle spotted for us already?
ACE (over intercom): Not a chance...

Panel 2
(Ace is in the cokpit of his Skystriker.  "ARMBRUSTER" is written below the
glass.)
ACE: I've been criss-crossing this area for hours... not a sign of the
shuttle or Cobra anywhere!

Panel 3
(Interior Cockpit)
ACE: No visual trace, no radar blips -- Nothing!  It's like they disappeared
off the face of the earth!

Panel 4
(Dragonfly copter: Duke in front seat, Wild Bill flying in back seat.)
DUKE: Might as well head back to base, Ace. Wild Bill and I will take over
the aerial-search --
WILD BILL: And with a 'copter, we can get up close and personal!

Panel 5
(Interior: VAMP; Roadblock is reading a map; clutch is driving; Cover Girl is
in the Wolverine.)
CLUTCH: This is where we split up, and don't get lost, Cover Girl!
COVER GIRL: Don't make me laugh, Clutch! You're the one who can't read a map
straight!
CLUTCH: I can so read a map!
ROADBLOCK: Good. You can start with this one.  I can't fathom any map that
doesn't list three star restaurants!

Page 3
Panel 1
(Spirit looks out over a cliff. Gung-Ho is in the transport vehicle thing.)
GUNG-HO: There's nothing out there, Spirit...
SPIRIT: Only the wind, Gung-Ho... and the ghosts of the buffalo... [Yes, he
*really* said that.]

Panel 2
(Cover Girl looks through binoculars and talks into a walkie-talkie.)
COVER GIRL: I've looked at every square inch of my assigned quadrant, Duke.
Not a sign of the shuttle anywhere, not even a loose thermal tile!  Wait! See
that smoke? It's rising out of the middle of Clutch's sector!

Panel 3
(Dragonfly)
DUKE: I see it! Get on it, Wild Bill!
WILD BILL: Ain't no hurry, Duke. If'n it's burnin' it ain't going anyplace.

Panel 4
(Dragonfly: rear)
DUKE: Arm all weapons systems! Whatever it is, it's just over the ridge!

Panel 5
(Dragonfly: interior)
WILD BILL: Well, I'll be --
DUKE: What the --

Page 4
Panel 1
(The shuttle and a damaged Rattler rest in a crater; Roadblock guards two
Cobras; Clutch talks on the radio; the Dragonfly flies overhead; a second
Rattler flies far away.)
CLUTCH: Sorry we didn't raise you on the communications net sooner, Duke! But
as you can see, we had our hands full around here!
DUKE: Looks like some of 'em got away from you, Clutch!
CLUTCH: Gimme a break! We saved the shuttle, didn't we? Let Ace have some fun
tracking down the Baroness and Wild Weasel in the Skystriker!

Panel 2
(Duke exits the landed Dragonfly and approaches Clutch.)
DUKE: So how did you do it, Clutch? We all searched this desert high and low
and came up with zip!
CLUTCH: Expert map reading, that's what did it!

Panel 3
(Clutch points to a map he's holding.)
CLUTCH: We were driving along this ridge, and I noticed that where this deep
depression is on the map, the actual desert below us was flat!

Panel 4
(Duke and Clutch talk; Cover Girl makes a face)
CLUTCH: Deducing the rest was elementary. Cobra simply stretched a camoflage
net across the depression and hid the aircraft under it. They were willing to
wait 'til we gave up the search.
DUKE: Pretty clever...

Panel 5
(Roadblock smiles; Clutch looks delected; Duke, Gung-Ho, Spirit, and Cover
Girl have a good laugh.)
ROADBLOCK: Nothin' clever about it!  Old Clutch looks at the map and sees a
hole. he looks at the desert and don't see nothin'.  He figures, "If there's
no hole in the desert, I must be lost."  So he fires a salvo of rockets into
the desert to make a hole so he won't be lost anymore-- --and scores himself
a Cobra tank smasher!
NARRATIVE: End.

So there you have it.  Not a great story, but hey, when you're on Larry Hama
GI Joe withdrawal, it's always nice to read a story you've never seen before,
right?  :-)
Speaking of which does anyone have those mini-comics (also by Larry Hama)
which were included with some GI Joe figures in 1993 or so?  I've never seen
any of those.  Thanks!

That's what I always thought too. I mean grunt to me was the first 
"Regular" army Joe ever. The rest were all Commandos, Airborne Rangers, 
Intelligence ops, etc. so that might explain why Grunt looked so similar.

As well, Grunt came with his own name, birthplace, etc, and wouldn't you 
need a bunch of "grunts" too combat all of the vipers, and Cobra soldiers?

I mean I always thought of Cobra Vipers as privates in Cobra's army.

since he never seemed to appear anywhere?

If you notice the filecards, none of the 'codenamed' Joes are lower than
SP-4's.  I always thought that the generics were either regular Army
just stationed with the Joes, or Joe Privates that hadn't earned
codenames yet.  Maybe guys that were with the Joes before they had to go
through the Joe qualification course that Larry Hama described?
