Hello all, So I was thinking of how joe as a brand needs to go in to kinda change things up a bit.. How about a stand alone comie/TV show and if it works yes action fig.. Ok here I go set back and injoy::: joe Colton ... Focus on just how this thing called gi joe got it's start from a somewhat young Colton as he works his way up mission by mission... Yes you'd kinda have to go back a lil in time to tell his story.. I will call it.. Code name: GI JOE cuz that is Colton's code name.. And yes there will be other team members as well as badass bad guys... But it all builds up to a great end.. I think we all kinda know somewhat about that... Anyway it's been on my mind and just needed to tell it... Please let me know what u guys think...? Thanks for taking the time

I could see a action movie set in the Vietnam era being interesting. Of course the beginnings of Cobra could be incorporated into that as well.
I'm OK with the SE/SS/Stalker storyline being included so long as they aren't running around doing unrealistic ninja stuff all over the Mekong Delta. |

Thaks .... So I was thinking it set in the late 80s early 90s... See duke and all them would be my dads age at this point.. They came out in the 80s... So to make it modern you would kinda have to do Colton in that time frame... I'm cool with that... But the while point of it for me is to have Colton's story told.. I think it's a good way to keep the brand fresh and kinda new.. I have been working on some of the charecters for this... I will try to post them ... And again thanks for reading ...

Yes very early cobra... That is the popper..I was thinking that cobra would play a part but they arnt known as cornea as of at this point .. And really before cobra commander and the rest of those great chercters .... It the bad guys that will be in this will be just as badass... I have custom Colton and 2 other of the team.. Just really need to post them up and show them..

If Colton's story is the one being told in 'Nam, then the enemy would have to be the Red Shadows, "in the shadows" so to speak...

The point is to have a modern day Colton be in his 50s so he isn't to old to be able to still be useful for the present day gi joe time. Not that he'd be an active member but pull a lot of weight to get whatever the new joes need... But the point oh not about the present day joe team it's about a younger joe Colton and how he became the the most badass of them all... So it needs to take place around the mid to late 80s and 90s... And this was a great time ... So whoever the bad guys will be it will all become cobra much later on down the line...

You could still have it be the Red Shadows in the '80's during the Reagan Era, Berlin Wall coming down, Oil Sheik's, etc. Have Colton facing the Red Shadows during the 80's and '90's because they would be behind alot of the political bullshit back then (in the shadows). He and his squad fight them them throughout those years, but he (and the US Government) still don't know about the existence of the Shadows (or maybe the Government does but doesn't inform Colton; plot twist) and he finds out about their (the Shadows) existence in about '87-'88. Now after his uncovering of their (the Shadows) existence and the battle that follows he gets his promotion to Colonel. Fights the Shadows for the next 10 years, finally putting them out of business (or so he's led to believe) when he first gets his promotion of his 1st Star (gets to be a Brigadier General).
The new technology age 2000-2014 brings about a new kind of terrorist organization that uses the more complex technology that is still out of our reach by 5-6 years (MARS), and is wrapping the world in it's coils, that everyone is unaware of. The US Government has to create a task force to met this new kind of threat that al-Qaeda, I.S.I.S.,White Supremists, Black Supremists, and several different homegrown US militant extremist groups that want to overthrow the government to give the power back to the people type groups (one of which grows to become Cobra).

Yeah something like that..... I think this can really work.. If done right .. And see stuff like the vamp and dragonfly would be the stuff that Colton and team would have had.. I like this so much I'm turning my whole joe world into this story line.. Been making customs for some time and looking back on some of them they fit into this era with a few changes here for there... And I think u for ur input... Thanks again
