What's been your favorite thing about G.I. Joe in 2024?
For me, it's amazing how many options there are to collect Joe-related stuff from multiple sources/forms. Not sure if this year was the new 1985 - when the line reached its high point - but I'd be surprised if we're halfway through the resurgence.

I'm just glad that they're producing classic, ARAH characters that I fell in love with. It's not that I mind the occasional update or something new, but Classified is the GI Joe that I came to love as a kid and it's been my primary collecting focus lately since The Black Series hardly produces any Original Trilogy characters, which was my bread and butter, and since I have no great interest in the new Star Wars characters on Disney. It's been great fun and I'm really hoping and looking forward to getting more favorites like Ace, Flash, Zap, Grand Slam, Monkeywrench, Zanzibar, Thrasher, Hit N Run, Repeater, Muskrat, Blizzard, Iceberg, Lifeline, Mainframe, Frostbite, Heavy Metal, Pathfinder, Recoil, Salvo, Ambush, Backblast and many others. The list is quite long. I keep hoping that TBS will start producing more OT figures but Classified has more than filled the void that TBS created.

That's a great idea. I feel like the art of G.I. Joe, including stuff like file cards, has taken a backseat. I'm glad that we have the retro cards but wish they would print the entire file card. I still have all my original file cards and consider them an essential part of the collection.

That's an impressive feat. Agreed, they are missed in the Classified line.

I just want a new series, be it animated or live-action. It should be appropriate for all ages.

Welcome to the Tank.

As I don't think we'll ever get a series styled like Hector Garrido's artwork, I was thinking about a modernized team animated more like the old Jonny Quest cartoon. ![]()
