As I lurk around other sites, I see people that credit G.I. Joe for their entrance into the military. Some of these same people want ultra realistic Joe figures in their collections and create them as such. I however never joined the military and don't really require ultra militaristic figures, but at the same time I don't really dig the Sci Fi aspect of it either. I'm not sure what it is that I collect them for or want out of them. So my question is what are you after in your figures?

I think that's what makes the line so unique; there are multiple aspects to it: military, sci fi, martial arts, espionage, etc.

They are my Drug of choice!!! If I don't get a new piece to add to my collection at least oce a week I start to fiend... Badly. Also for the thrill of the hunt and the rush when you score that elusive piece as well as something kool to display and keep forever (money well spent) and most important of all... It makes me Happy and reminds me of the Good ol' Days ... Yo Joe... Opps , Imean... Cobraaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!

I like GIJoe simply because I never had the opportunity to collect them back in the 80s.

I was one of the guys who grew up in the 80's loving them and then joined the Army as an adult. I"m a lifelong toy collector and before my kids I had several lines I collected. But as I've gotten older I've just realized that GI Joe is the nearest to my heart. Plus how many Bespin Luke's can one man have or need?

Joes are a reminder for me of a hard individual with righteous morals, and a never give up attitude. When I was in that imprinting stage as a kid, the values portrayed by the Joes were perfect for a boy living with his single mom, with limited exposure to a male role model. I guess the 25th Ann. brought back a lot of those memories as a kid, which is why I started a new hobby in late 2008.
