To be honest, I don't even recall exactly how I learned about these 25th Joes. I don't think there was a toy add or commercial or anything like that. I just remember initially exposed to the 25th during the '07 San Diego Comic Con.
Then which lead me to the Hisstank.com. I was just curious how everyone first learned about the 25th Joe line. |

As I recall, I heard about them form some sort of divine messenger. Might have been an angel, maybe it was Hermes. Definitely winged.

i ran into the 5 pack one day outa nowhere and i luved it but diddnt have the cash to spend on it mind you this is before i was addicted so 30 dollars on a toy wasnt even part of my agenda so i left it behind and my girl saw again one day and bought it 4 me and thats when it all started for me with the 25th line
i collected as a child but was out of the loop for all those years so it all happend on a whim that i got back into it so strong Last edited by COBRACOLLECTOR; 05-30-2008 at 12:31 PM.. |

I first learned about them from either Toynewsi.com or maybe wizarduniverse.com when they first announced the line. Then I eagerly awaited for the 5-packs and Wave 1 to start showing up!

Like CobraCollector I saw the Joe and Cobra 5 packs at a store. It was while we were in the toy aisle of Target. We were looking for Tonka's Chuck 'n Friends for my 2 year old. Then I saw the classic GI Joe box with Duke on the front. I picked it up all starry eyed and was like "This is so awesome!" Then I saw the Cobra pack.
I bought both box sets Cobra and Joe. I planned on only buying those 2 boxes for nostalgia's sake. Little did I know that was only the beginning! As an aside, I collected Star Wars too as a child. The re-release of those figures never enticed me at all. Yo Joe! |

My wife told me about it. She saw some in wal mart one day. She knew I used to collect them back in the late 90's. Probably in Sept last year.

I was building a room on the house for my old toys, models, & guitars and as I was going through my old Joes I found one whose name I couldn't remember, so I searched Yahoo for info and came across YoJoe.com, and they had an ad on the site saying 25th Joes were back in stock at SmallJoes.com... So I went to Wal Mart looking for some and picked up a Destro, Duke, CC, Scarlett, SE/SS pack, & Torpedo... that was enough to get me hooked.
