Tag: G.I.Joe

By Destro Designs-Viper Studios For me, there’s nothing like the action and stories of the multiple G.I. Joe mini-series in the Sunbow series. While I love the choices made for the actual single-shot episodes, it’s the mini-series that are the backbone of the show. So many of them were wild, crazy, and absolutely amazing to watch as a kid. But the mini-series had those excitement-inducing words: “To Be Continued…” Something about that just sent me into full-on imagination mode as I would play out what I thought was going to…

By Destro Designs-Viper Studios As a kid, it’s super easy to ignore so many of the G.I. Joe toy design flaws that lead to obvious danger from both the enemy as well as the machines themselves. For example, the Cobra FANG is a canopy-less helicopter, which isn’t so bad until you realize the helicopter blade is barely above the pilot’s head. But as a kid, you recognize the absurdity, put it in your pocket, and move on because the vehicle is totally fucking awesome. Another one that’s a little less…

“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.…

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…
