By Destro Designs–Viper Den Studios If you’ve ever heard me mention my favorite 3¾-inch G.I. Joe figures, it probably barely made any sense. The truth is, I could genuinely have three different Top 10 lists: Usually, when I talk about my favorites, I’m referring to the figures I actually had and became completely obsessed with. That doesn’t mean I don’t hold other figures in equally high regard. For instance, I rarely mention Snow Serpent, even though I honestly think it’s arguably the greatest 3¾-inch action figure ever made—not just in…

By Destro Designs – Viper Den Studios As a young buck, I was firing on all collecting cylinders with G.I. Joe. And when it came to buying and collecting the figures, it was all about the Holy Trinity. The Holy Trinity, as referenced in a previous article, is what made up the collecting experience: Arguably, for me, the card art was, in some cases, the most important part. When I looked at the figure, I saw what was on the card art. I used to legitimately stare at those card…

G.I.Dave’s Cartoon Realism: Silly or Gritty? “Cobra Stops the World”By @G_I_DAVE Hello fellow fans and friends! G.I. DAVE here again, and we’re back diving into another G.I. Joe Sunbow episode to see if it leans more silly or realistic.After the aviation-heavy survival THRILLER (I was even surprised rewatching it again) of “In the Presence of Mine Enemies,” I wanted to hit one that plays with real-world geopolitics and Terror— the kind of episode that could “show off” a real world Terrorism plan against all nations, something we see often in…

By Destro Designs and Viper Den Studios I made a quote tweet the other day about having my first drink at 11 years old—and it was a Zima. It got me thinking about those pivotal two years that ended my childhood collecting and turned me into a freaking lunatic teenager. It was going to take a perfect storm of things to shake me out of my obsession with G.I. Joe toys and bring me back down to the grass. Then, one day, it happened. First off, the toys themselves had…

By @G_I_DAVE Hello fellow fans and friends! G.I.DAVE here, and we are going to analyze one of the G.I. Joe cartoon episodes to see if it’s silly, or realistic. This one has ALWAYS been a personal fav, highlighting the famous move Major Pearson pulled with the Satellite killer missile from an F15, the dogfight combat, and the CSAR (Combat Search and Rescue) aspect of opposing Pilots that need to survive a hostile environment. I am a “Comic guy” through and through, but of course I never missed an episode of…
