Recently- for reasons unknown- I decided to completely Restructure my office (...or my Toy Room) and move a few thousand figures down to my workout room and just clean-up the clutter of too much stuff in the place I spend the most time. Typically I had 3 full shelves dedicated for G.I.Joe (Joes, Cobra, Dreadnoks/OktoberGuard/Iron Grenadiers)-
But that entire case of toys had to come down and get relocated... I still wanted a Joe presence in the office but knew it had to be greatly reduced from 3 shelves of guys stacked up so tight you really couldn't see the trees for the forest... Lots of deliberating and trimming and my select Joes were ready to get a new home- Castle Joe! I'm a sucker for the Joe I grew up with- A Real American Hero! So my figure choice for what remained is really the classic 80's looks (mostly) for the characters to me that best represent what I love about G.i.Joe- ...and it's not G.I.Joe without the 'Noks... Even if it appears that they aren't as welcome in Russia as they are in the swamps of Florida (-and in true ARAH tradition, everyone keeps their weapons when captured) Something about the Arctic Mindbender figure really connected with me and so the Cobra Command team of choice had to be the Winter styles where they could stand atop their Cobra Mountain base and review the troops- A selection of Winterized troops stand ready behind the castle walls- alongside an envoy of Iron Grenadiers that have come to see Laird Destro! ...and several figures that I couldn't find a place for on display can be found skulking about the castle- CrocMaster patrolling behind the gate and under the castle itself- Scalpel and Cesspool have begun nefarious experiments of their own- ...While members of ECO Force have infiltrated the Mountain Fortress and are stopping some vile Cobra terror plot- And since it's not ARAH Joe until Cobra-La has made their coils felt- there remains a place for Serpentor (and eventually Pythona) to stand above the humans they plan to one day destroy! So there it is! my new Joe space. Missing lots of good Joes and seemingly taking up much more space than before- but I think it captures a nice chunk of what G.I.Joe is for me. Thanks for looking! ...and a final salute to the toys fallen in battle that head off to a storage bin in the garage- lol |
