Way back when most of us were kids 1982/1983, there was a GI Joe club, when you sent away you got dogtags with your name & address on them (Wore mine all the time) & a GI Joe magazine. (OK more like a flyier) I forget if you got anything else.
I was wondering if anyone has scans of those old mags. I remember an article about how you could upgrade your figures, by painting the sholvel on Duke's backpack. (planting the seeds for customizers years later) Stalker "wrote" an article about how to stalk in the woods. I have no clue if the mag was a one time thing they sent out or a monthly subscription. Wondering what else you got. |

I remember wanting to be in that club so badly, but I never joined.

Oops, wrong franchise!

Yeah, I remember the dog tags and belt, I also ordered those red white and blue sweat bands with the Flag Points. Actually wore those in gym class as a kid. I probably looked like a tool but the other kids were envious. Apparently I was one of the few who read/kept the file cards and paperwork that came with my Joes, so many other kids at my school never knew about the fan club or the Flag Points-for-mailaway stuff deal. I'm pretty sure there was a little membership card, too.
As for the magazine, I'm totally drawing a blank what was in it or how many issues I had. I kept all of my blueprints/flyers/etc., but that thing must be long gone. I do remember it not being very big, though. It would be fun to see it nowadays and compare it to the GIJCC "Magazine". |

Yep, I had the belt and wore it always. Cried when I got too big for it and had to let it go. Good times...
