new style joes

[tastetherainbow]

pretty simple that the new joes are just awefull..with unrealistic bodys. and twice the size..call me old or just narrow minded
but i just prefer the 80s joes ..after 87 things really went down hill

Your argument is invalid.

I think he is buying the wrong line of figures. They are still 3 3/4 inch based figures. He said twice the size as the o-ring style (if o-ring is implied by 80's)

[whitefox360]

He's new here and excited to have an opinion. It doesnt have to make sense. He's posting for himself, not us. Also, gi joe extreme.

The great thing about the Tank is that you'll find fans and collectors of all the different eras of Joes.

Now, not to be rude, but you need to figure out which section of the forum your threads belong in.

For example, there is an entire section dedicated to the ARAH vintage figs (and probably where this thread belongs instead of in the toy reviews section): G.I. Joe Toys Vintage Discussion - HissTank.com - G.I. Joe (http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-toys-vintage-discussion/)

It sounds like this will be your new home away from home.

i was just talking about jazz hands at work the other day... that's F-en hilarious

[Raw Dog]

I like all Joe's old and new alike. I grew up with the Joe's from the 80s and loved them then, I still love them. I really like the modern era Joes too. I can't wait for the new movie Joes. I've also been really digging Sgt. Savage lately.

[Tanksmasher]

Twice the size? Unrealistic bodies? Ummm okay...

[Crimson Gord]

i'm lost, but this post still counts right?

Actually, I think with this post you have now leveled up.

Bad impersonation of Rayden-BTW anyone notice the commanders head exposed a bit from the underpart of helmet. So are we to have already noted his skin was bluish-white? Because in 87 movie the faceplate probably went as far back on his face to jawline just before the ear area.

Modern Era Joes >>>> Old school joes. And 88,89,90,91,92,93 and 94 >>> Everything that came before.

Jazz hands are a staple at my house. I'm teaching my 18-month-old how to do 'em. She's learning fast.

Modern Era Joes >>>> Old school joes.
i agree wholeheartedly.

And 88,89,90,91,92,93 and 94 >>> Everything that came before.
i respectfully completely disagree.

no... it was just a picture drawn and colored in about 2 minutes by a Korean working 18 hour days so they could get the other 32,000 cels for that episode.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug

[Viper6]

you could always follow in the footsteps of tankers making virtual paper doll joes....and no im not explaining this one just search virtual collection if you have nothing else to do

Guys, guys, you got it all wrong! This IS a review. He's saying they're "awefull", that is, full of awe. As in awesome!

I agree, but can we call you something else?

[CrimsonGuard101]

Must be halo figures..I dont have any 7 1/4" joes last i checked...

[Smokebomb]

Maybe Super Joe from the late 70's? They were 8.5 I believe.

[Jettfire]

no... it was just a picture drawn and colored in about 2 minutes by a Korean working 18 hour days so they could get the other 32,000 cels for that episode.

So you're telling me that Tomax and Xamot aren't supposed to be mongoloid as depicted here? And that Rocky Dennis wasn't a random Cobra trooper with a hand-sewn insignia on his uniform?

I call bullshit on you, sir.

You can always rell the people that were into GI Joe for the cartoon only. They all think that there is no such thing as a decent GI Joe befor 1982 or after 1987.

There are many great figures and characters that were produced by HASBRO after 1987 that wer never in the cartoon or the comic book.

These poor people will never know the joys of being a GI Joe collecter until they learn to see past 1987.

[Azzurro21]

In before the internet collapses....

Oh and '87-94 were some awesome years, furthermore the new stuff blows the old stuff out of contention.

[nighthawk]

Ice Cream Soldier is a cool figure. Seriously...he kicks butt and has an awesome sculpt! I'm still trying to figure out what modern parts to use to make one.

But not beyond 1991...from '92 to 2007 bad things happned...and that dark time should be locked up in a Castle grey Skull vault for eternity

Agree, except from '94-2007...and Castle Grey Skull should be guarded by Richard Simmons to scare everyone away from it.

Whoa! Some of us that were into the cartoon only and not the comics are not only into the cartoon characters. Yeah, mostly the cartoon characters, but Hasbro has done a great job of expanding the character roster. Hell, even back in the 80's i liked and owned vehicles and figures that were never/hardly ever in the show!
I now the joys of being a GI Joe collector! Yo joe!
