Greetings!
Name´s Richard and I´ve been a long time fan of GI Joe (since RAH came out). My very first 3 figures where Cobra Commander, storm shadow and Snake Eyes and since then I´ve been a COBRA fan more than a joe. my emotional link with the RAH series came to its peak last sunday when I was able to win first place in a nation wide (in Costa Rica) event called Hero fest with a Resolute Cobra Commander costume while acting the United Nations threat scene. I really have very little in terms of collectibles although at one time I had almost 100 figures and vehicles that where either stolen, lost, destroyed or downright sold when i grew up. I´m 40 now and I´m starting to collect once more. I started with the resolute and 25th anniversary and am slowly creeping my way up to a nice Cobra themed collection that i will post later when it´s worth showing off. cheers guys and thanks for opening such a nice place for us Cobra Heads (and joe heads) to be around and share. cheers!

Hi,
You might recognize my avatar from the Rebelscum forum. I'm one of the early members there. I have a somewhat small vintage Kenner SW collection, consisting of items from my childhood and some things purchased pre-internet and from my brother in the late 1980's. I used to watch the GI Joe cartoon back when I was a kid and some of the neighborhood friends had some of the early GI Joe toys. Not a big fan of the cartoon, but I thought the GI Joe vehicles (like the VAMP) were really cool. I liked the lever that made the gun barrels piston back & forth. I was a loyal SW fan back then, so I never asked mom for any ARAH stuff. I'm considering putting together a set of the earlier figures. The ones with the improved arm articulation. The newer POC figures are really nice and there's a few on the way, thanks to a fellow Hisstank member. My favorite Joe is Beachhead, and I'm not sure it's because he looks so bad-ass, or if it's because I enjoy watching his stories in those "Action Figure Therapy" videos. I watched Resolute earlier this afternoon for the first time. It would have been better if it was longer, but still a fun movie. Anyway, I'm reading a lot here and learning. I never realized how much stuff was made back in the 80's. |

Just saw this thread and thought i'd introduce myself. Name is Keith, I'm a zookeeper in Montgomery, AL. Been into Joe since childhood in early 80's. Some of my fondest memories are looking through the joe toys in the stores as a kid. I would spend so much time there, they sure don't stock the shelves like they did back then! Anywho actually been following the site for quite a while now and felt it was a great community to become a part of, so here I am! Hello all, Yo Joe!

Hi,
I'm new to the forum as well. Love Joes! They have come a long way since my childhood. I had a bunch of the vehicles as a kid and like 4 figures haha. My favorite Joe (or Cobra I guess) is Big Boa. He is one of the few I had as a kid and I still have him in a box downstairs (hopefully with his breather tube, but I lost the punching bag long ago). It sucks that he had to be released as a collector club figure and now goes for insane amounts which means i will probably never own the updated version. Ah well, such is life. Anyway, nice to meet everyone.

Zookeeper hey? That sounds like a pretty awesome job. Do you guys have a fairly big zoo?
I always liked the tigers. One tried to pee on me once actually when I was at the zoo. Almost got me too lol.

Just jumping in to introduce myself. Always been a fan of RAH era joe as I grew up on it. As a kid I had a collection that would be the grail today and i sold it all as a teen for next to nothing. Anyway it's time to rebuild so I am sure you guys will be seeing me around. Cobra!
