G.I.Dave’s Cartoon Realism: Silly or Gritty? “The Invaders”

“The Invaders” (Season 1, Episode 50) I seen Destro Design’s make a post and remind me about this one. Glad he did. This is definitely one of the better episodes. This has been very refreshing for me. I watched all these as a kid, and even when watching them, sneered at the “sillyness” and lasers. Reading the comic I felt I was in a much more mature GIJOE world.In fact, the comics are the minority, and it seems most collectors these days say they got into it from the toon.…

The Snow Serpent and Its 3¾ Supremacy

By Destro Designs – Viper Den Studios As I talked about in my article a week or so ago, I rank my favorite 3¾-inch G.I. Joe figures a bit differently than everyone else. In fact, I have three different lists that cover my favorites: One of the most interesting things about these lists is that I was absolutely obsessed with a figure I didn’t actually get until I was 10 years old. It was a fascination from a distance. I started collecting G.I. Joe figures when I was four years…

Joe Sunbow episode to see if its more silly or gritty. “Hearts and Cannons” (Sunbow Season 1, Ep 44)is pure desert-ops and armor warfare.This one starts out a bit too realistic for the times, as Cobra hits a village at night, bags the locals for labor, and Major Bludd is running the show while some lone warrior on a cliff swears vengeance. I can’t help but think…

From Tombs to Terror Dromes: Why Lara Croft Feels Right at Home in the G.I. Joe Classified Universe

There are some crossovers that feel like marketing ideas, and then there are the ones that make you stop and think, “Wait… why didn’t this happen years ago?” That’s exactly how I felt when the new Lara Croft G.I. Joe Classified Series figure was revealed. The more I thought about it, the more it made perfect sense. Growing up, G.I. Joe was never just about military action. Sure, there were tanks, helicopters, and Cobra’s endless schemes for world domination, but the franchise also thrived on mystery. Ancient temples, hidden civilizations,…
