So my 10yr old son recently made a new friend and as they were playing found out this friend plays with G.I.Joe. Which is surprising to me as I don't find many kids that play with them anymore. So my son tells him he should come over, my dad collects. His friend was a little sceptical I'm sure, but they planned a sleep over. So, when they came over I decided to take out a few of my boxes and let them dig in. I don't have pictures of them downstairs with the vehicles, but digging through my 25th/POC/30th boxes they had fun looking at the figures. They also spent a couple of hours going through my loose 80-90's figures. He was so excited I let him keep a few he didn't have.
The next day I came home to find the figures in the last picture on my desk. They're in my customs display now, but wanted to share his creativity. |

Man, that's cool! And it's good to see that there is a kid or two out there that's into Joes.

That's awesome. It warms my heart to hear of a ten year old familiar with GI Joe outside of the influence of an adult collector. Cool story bro.

Probably the kid that isn't his. I'd be rip shit if someone posted pics of my kid without my permission.

I love these stories about younger kids actually playing with toys.

love to see the younger generation still have an interest in playing with joes.
