Being that most of you guys at a ripe ol' age of who knows what! Do you still ask for GIJoes for christmas? If so, when do you believe is a good time to grow out of this stage? I stopped a long time ago and now I just get Joes whenever I got the extra money.

Heh. I saw this coming up in the "Whatever happened to Serpentor?" thread, and thought I'd make a poll out of it.

Who do you think should really lead Cobra? 8)

I posted this in a Transformers forum once a while ago, and it got to be a heated debate. It's the most original poll, but I thought it'd stir up some healthy old-school Joe debate. @-@

I'll reveal my vote a little later. Cobraaaaa! -

pretty cool for a repaint.

im getting the Flint vs baranoss

Duke vs Ripper

and the Shipwreck vs ??

I remeber seeing a pic of a repainted Nunchuck and Firefly, where Nunchuck was wearing white pants without camo and Firefly was repainted with a camo pattern did anyone else see this. I don't remeber if it was in a mag or online and if anyone did see it does you know if orwhen they will be coming out??

hi check out this page for my marvel customs

I while back I bought an old beat up Voltron to basically restore and I am about 95% done with this guy but he legs are pretty loose that it makes him hard to stand up. What can I do to tighten him up? Also is anyone aware of a place where I could get a sticker sheet for him?

thanks

Quick Kick's Theatre announced earlier today that there will be G.I.Joe DVDs in 2003. The first set will arive on February 14. It will contain the first two mini-series, A Real American Hero and The Revenge of Cobra. This first set will have no extras, but a second set will be released in May. This set will be identical to the first set except it will contain extras and an exclusive figure, limited to the first 25,000 sets.

found this out at yojoe.com/

Most of the mortal kombat joes were at least decent and several of them were real good (like the ninja's especialy movie subzero!) i was wishing i had these, and i thought about current games that would make nice joe figs.

Today more kids are into video games so this would be similiar to inculding a celeb like in rah.

contra would be the top on my list, not only a cool new game but it has old fans too! plus a good way to stick in some aliens and creepiods.

also resident evil, i know someone else has the license but i can dream right? Can you imagine the fun you can have making your joes fight zombies of the people they are trying to save?

And also more mortal kombat toys, the old ones were cool, the new game from what i have heard is the best version ever, why not?

any thoughts?

that you can rotate the prizes for the contest between the advertisers? Just wondering really.

Does anyone know if they will be putting episodes on DVD? I was hoping that they could do with this series like they're doing with DBZ and give you both English and Japanese versions.

Hey . Does anyone have a picture of the gollum figure they could send me? I missed the picture the few days it was up :cry: . If you have one my email address is CycloneFB3@aol.com. Thanks!

Before I begin, I'm going to be honest...I've only been active in the Joe online community since April of this year, and only in the Devil's Due and Sgt. Savage forums. That being said, I am very surprised at the extreme distaste numerous posters here feel for the new Joe vs Cobra line of GI Joe.

Four years ago, as near as I can tell, Hasbro released some figures under the old mold concept...and they were crappy. Later on, they released the last full run of the original old-school style figures...and they were ok, but to be honest, they didn't hold up to the originals, cool repaint jobs or not (i.e. Serpentor, Shock Viper, Duke, Firefly.)

We finally got a new GI Joe product under the title Joe vs. Cobra...and the first wave of figures had no o-rings. Were they bad figures? No, they weren't...but they weren't "GI Joe" to many collectors because of the no O-ring factor. There are still a plethora of these figures left on the shelves in my area; I would presume part of this is due to the fact that my area has more older Joe fans than kids who are into the product.

With subsequent waves, we have seen Hasbro re-tool the figures originally intended to NOT have the O-ring in order to make a lot of crotchety folks happy...and it was good. We got IMO the coolest repaint of the Viper ever in the black/purple combo, some sweet Alley Viper army building material, along with some pretty solid figures in Stalker, Scarlett, Flint, Baroness, Blowtorch, Snow Serpent, Dr. Mindbender, o-ring Cobra Commander, and especially the black Snake Eyes. With wave 4 hitting, we've gotten to see some ridiculously cool new figures in the new Duke, Ripper, Shipwreck, Wild Bill, o-ring CLAWS, Dart, o-ring Neo Viper, and yes, the new BAT (yes, I miss the swivel arms, but I love the coloration and chest-panel removal feature and am quite happy with the figure as a whole.) With the Spy Troops line coming up, we have seen in pictures what appears to be an unbelievable job and some great new characters along with it.

Some people seem to believe that since they aren't the original old-style molds, they can't be GI Joe. As hard as I've tried, I just can't understand this rationale. I don't know if it is because there are official acronyms that one just doesn't feel apply to the new figures or what. I don't know if it is because you lost your Skidmark figure when you were 9 and now espouse vitriolic comments across random places. What I do know is this: Hasbro is not bringing back the old-school molds in full force; too many retailers (apparently) have said they will not carry these figures en masse. I'm not saying that "the only real GI Joe fans are the ones buying the new figures and everyone who isn't is full of donkey poop." I'm saying that a growing majority of the GI Joe community is letting themselves enjoy the new line of GI Joe figures for what they are: the new line of GI Joe figures. They're the same characters that many of us grew up with, and like it or not, nearly all of the figures are now being created in similar form as their predecessors were (i.e. Dr. Mindbender, Flint, Baroness, Snow Serpent, Scarlett, etc etc.) Furthermore, many of the figures are very well sculpted and quite frankly, just look cool.

That's my opinion...and I stand to it. Hopefully some of the folks here will eventually realize that the only thing pissing and moaning accomplishes is raising people's blood pressure, and hardly ever changes people's viewpoints.

Excelsior!

Is this a fair price, as of now I only own 2 english dvds [ episodes 1-8]

IT SEEMS HASBRO HAS GOTTEN VERY LAZY .IN JUST ABOUT EVERY 2 PACK THERE IS A REPAINT OF A FIGURE IN THE PREVOIUS SET AND IT SICKENS ME!I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT THIS.

Hi, just wanted to post another intresting topic about MOC joes. What store do you think is the best place to buy MOC joes? I know in the past a lot of people blasted Brians Toys for their service and prices. Just wanted to know what stores you recommend, and what stores or people to avoid.

HAS ANY BODY SEEN IT, I HAVE HEARD IT WAS SIMILAR TO EVANGELION BUT NOT AS GOOD ANY BODY HAVE ANY INFO?

Are you a Ramones fan?

What's your favorite Ramones song?

I really want to know!

I've been thinking about making a custom new Masters of the Universe figure. But I can't figure out who to make. I really want to make a character that Mattel might not make for a while. So far I thought of Rio-Blast, Bow (from She-ra), or just making up a character. Anyone got any suggestions for a cool character to make, hero or villian, doesn't matter.
