I been lurking on this forum for a couple weeks now. I have read a lot of interesting stuff on here. I haven't found any 25th Joes in my area yet but they have drawn me back to Joes. I haven't collected since I was a kid and I have been thinking about starting again. I wanted to hear why everyone here collects Joes? Is it childhood memories? articulation? scale? current comics? Just curious.
Thanks for any responses or help. |

Childhood memories. When I get stressed over work or marriage, I get out my Joe stuff and feel nostalgic about the times when I had no worries.
It's funny, but the most worrisome thing I ever had to deal with as a kid was making the decision to buy two figures with my allowance or save up two weeks worth to buy a vehicle. I don't collect the toys anymore, but I do collect the inserts, the toy catalogs and the comics.

Hi everyone. I'm new (obviously). Haven't collected Joes since I was a kid, but like many others, the 25th Anniversary figures have sucked me back in. As a kid I loved all of the staples (Transformers, GI Joe, Thundercats, Go-bots, Robotech, He-Man, etc.) but I had far more GI Joe figures than anything else. I had younger brothers, so when I got older, all of my toys got handed down to them. This included all of my Joes. My brothers were not so gentle with their (my) toys as I was. Long story short, I don't have any of my original Joes, but these 25th figures bring back all of the memories, its like being a child again. Anyway, I'm rambling so I'll quit. Good to be here

Welcome Mister-e!!
My friend got me into collecting Joes. He got tired of buying the same Star Wars figure over and over again so he moved over to G.I.Joe. Since we both used to play with them as kids I was quick to follow in his footsteps. I got most of the DTC waves (missing 3 form the 3rd wave) and all of the 25th figs now. I can't wait for more. I haven't been this excited with collecting since '95 with the Star Wars figures. |
