Was not really into joes when they first came out, was a big Star Wars fan but when Storm Shadow came out I told my mom I wanted him. She took me to Target and there he was like a peg warmer hanging there, so I grabbed him along with another figure, Snake Eyes with Timber. What a way to start off a collection of joes. Too bad I wasn't collecting back then, but I did have fun ripping them open and playing with them

1982, I'm not sure I think it was V1 Cobra Commander. That or the Cobra Soldier, or maybe both if they were bought at the same time...

I only know that because those were the only 2 single carded figures I got in '82. 1983 was all about the Joes, my 1st vehicle was the Hiss Tank.

Grunt! He was the coolest looking action figure I had ever seen! Prior to him it was the plastic army men. In his day, and even compared to Star Wars figures, he was awesome, because his arm and legs bent.
Do not remember which store I got him in. Second figure was Snake Eyes. Do not remember where I bought him either. First Cobra was the Officer and I got him at Woolco! |

82 Flash - a laser rifle trooper was very intriguing when I was just a little fart. 82 Snake Eyes came soon after.

My brother and I went into Hiils Department store (Hills is where the toys are! , 80's christmas jingle). He got Torpedo and I got trip wire. I was 5 and he was 10. I remember us giving serious thought about whether to buy them or not. We were big star wars fans but the gi joe articulation intrigued us. Needless to say that started a sick addiction to these little fellows. We opened them and then went fishing w/ our dad. We talked the whole time about the other figures we saw and who we would buy next. It's wierd how vivid that memory is.

Tomax/xamot for an xmas grab bag. Until then, i wasn't allowed to play with military figures. That opened up pandora's box for me!

My first Joe was end of 82 first of 83. I got the VAMP with Clutch. I think my first carded Joe I believe was Snow Job.
My first cobra was Destro.

My uncle was in the hospital dying from lung cancer and he and my aunt had 12 inch gijoes i always played with.
I remember seeing gijoes in the HOSPITAL gift shop and i thought they would put him in a good mood. So i got breaker and when i showed him it brought a smile to his face, the next day when we went up i got flash and he was like "he's got orange on he cant be in the army!?" i vaugley remember getting snake eyes,scarlett and rock n roll soon after gijoe has been with me through everything !!!!! Its better than a damn dog!!!!!! Doc |
