Toyfare. I love TTT. Meco Spiderman rocks. I would get every issue to check up on my star wars stuff and read some of the other funny bits they have in there and saw the 25th Joes. I knew I had to have some. At first I wasn't planning on getting back into collecting but I got hooked after I got Flint and Snake Eyes. Next thing you know I got the Cobra 5 pack, Storm Shadow and a few more. And here I am. Collecting again. "Everytime I try to get out they pull me back in"

I actually got hooked after seeing the 5 packs in the store. That Strom shadow in the cobra pack made me have to get it. Followed by the joe pack. Just then series one was starting to hit. That was it for me.
I stopped collecting and reading toyfare after marvel legends died so i had no idea they were coming out.

It's amazing to look back on the original news of the 25th figures, as the articles I read only had word of the two five packs. I thought that would be all we were getting: Just a brief homage then nothing more.
It's great to be here a year later with so many superb characters added to the range (and vehicles too!).

First head about them in Late 2006/Early 2007. I think there was some mention about them at the '06 JoeCon.

I was 13 or 15 when I was looking through a KB toys and saw a wave one SE, I thought it was the coolest thing. Originally i pretended he was a zombie hunter until I learned about the G.I.Joe mythology and lore. I just fell in "love" with it and tried to get as many as I could. Then I realized that I had all the ones so far and decided to do an official collection. thats where I am today.
