Read MoreToday I’m going to take a look at the 2005 G.I.Joe Sigma Six Spirit. The Sigma Six line was a bit of an acquired taste to begin with. The figures were a bit boxy and not as realistic looking as the 3-3/4 inch or the 12 inch we were accustomed to. Also for 2005 jumping into collecting figures at $15 a pop was a big jump and a big investment. Even those who bought them for their children were not all that keen on pumping that much money into a large amount of…
Read More1982 Flash One of my all time favorite G.I. Joe’s is the 1982 Flash. This was one of the first figures I received as a child for Xmas in 1982. The Unique thing about the 1982 figures is they are the only year with with straight arms and only year to get the signature swivel arms as a 1.5 version in 1983. A feature that was added to the figures for better articulation for holding weapons and gear. Something the older generation was used to seeing with the 12 inch…
Read MoreWild Bill was a fun loving cowboy helicopter pilot in the Sunbow 80’s G.I. Joe cartoon, and he was a bit more serious in the Marvel ARAH comic book. He rescued the Joe’s on a number of occasions, and perhaps is more crucial to the story-lines than one would expect. We know Snake-Eyes, Storm Shadow, Stalker and Wade Collins had a tight knit community forged in their days as the L.R.R.P. recon patrol in Southeast Asia. But what of Huey crew that played an important role in the story not…

Read MoreBackground Issue 66 was an interesting and satisfying end to the grisly Borovian captivity arc. We had ninja action, bad guys meeting justice, prisoners being rescued and final judgment being passed by Stalker. He definitely “had the high ground” both ethically and physically. Feel free to check out the review of Issue 66 in case you missed it. (You can catch up on other “Now You Know With YorktownJoe” reviews there as well!) The cover of this issue shows Lady Jaye punching Flint really hard. It is part of the story inside.I daresay if…

Read MoreIn honor of Black History Month I wanted to tip a hat to all the great African American G.I. Joe’s created over the years. Starting out from the original lineup Stalker has always been a staple character and has had many updated versions and was a huge part of the success of G.I. Joe. Stalker the Army Ranger from Detroit has a long history with Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes and was just a great character all around. Next up is another all time great character, Doc. The Concord, Mass guy is another staple…
