GI Joe Toys

The GI Joes Action Figure website has been a dream project of mine for quite sometime. GI Joes was my all-time favorite toy and action figure growing up as a kid. I never imagined that I would renew that desire to collect GI Joes as an adult, but sure enough, the inner-nerd has broken out and I’m at it again.

With this GI Joes website, I’m also diving into a bit more advanced coding; which is soon to come. This should bring quite a bit of good content to this little website as well as all the bells and whistles to go with it.

And last but not least…. I’ve got…

I’m currently listing my GI Joe Action Figures For Sale in an OSCommerce website; which makes it free for me. However, I’m looking for something a little bit cooler and easier to manage. I would appreciate any input from you folks on this.

Thanks for dropping by and I hope you enjoy the site. Please bookmark it and come back for more GI Joes Action!

My latest GI Joes shipment has arrived. I received quite a bit and need to hustle to get these all listed on the website. There are a lot of good GI Joes in this lot and of course, I will be adding to my personal collection as well.

It appears that I have received a slew of the GI Joes Comic Packs Wave 5. That should consist of the following GI Joes. I haven’t inventoried them yet, so I hope there are some rares.

• Crimson Guard & Cobra Officer
• Battle Damage Snake Eyes & Storm Shadow
• Destro & Iron Grenadier
• Falcon & Nemesis Enforcer
• Cobra Commander & Tripwire

Another good GI Joes lot that includes the below GI Joes. I guess out of this lot, I am leaning towards Wild Bill being my favorite by far. Now, I’m not being biased just because he’s a fellow Texan, although I like the boots. I do really like his flight suit as well. Great detail work.

• Wild Bill
• HISS Driver
• Cobra Viper
• Duke with Jetpack
• Snake Eyes #4
• Spirit Iron Knife

And one of the more current lots coming from Hasbro is GI Joes lot 9 revision 1. This lot includes some of the more popular GI Joes, although no Flint. Two of the better GI Joes in this lot have go to be BAT and Snow Serpant.

• Wild Bill
• Lt. Torpedo
• Hawk
• Bazooka
• Barbeque
• Storm Shadow Black
• Snow Serpent
• BAT

And last but not least, I received a lot of the GI Joes DVD Entertainment Packs. I am dying to see these DVDs. The coolest looking GI Joes action figure in this lot is hands down, Sgt. Stalker.

• MASS Device
• Snake Eyes
• the Baroness
• Cobra Trooper
• Sgt. Stalker

• Weather Dominator/Revenge of Cobra
• Lady Jaye
• Destro
• Roadblock

I promise, there will be photos and images of these GI Joes and more coming soon. Unfortunately, time and new work schedule aren’t permissive of much work tonight. But once I start tearing into these boxes of GI Joes, there will be more than plenty of images.

I received a shipment of GI Joes action figures today. I spent my morning and afternoon working on implementing the inventory into the blog as well as a complete redesign.

I have never attempt retailing through a blog but this seems to be a neat setup and very easy to maintain. I have added a few comic packs to the inventory. I have a few other unique GI Joes items to add but will have to wait a few days. Vacation calls.

Below you will find a list of what I’ve added as clickable GI Joes links. The items that are not clickable are coming shortly.

• Duke vs. Cobra Commander
• Snake Eyes vs. Storm Shadow
• General Hawk & Scarlett
• Torch & Ripper
• Destro & Cpl. Breaker
• General Hawk
• Operation Flaming MOTH – Arctic Theater
• Operation Flaming MOTH – Jungle Theater

That’s it for now folks. I hope you are enjoying the GI Joes blog. There’s much more to come. I have more ideas for this blog than time. So, steady as she goes.

I was never an actual owner of the first GI Joes SHARC TOOTH with Deep Six. My brother actually had this toy. I was a bit envious. There was something about deep sea exploration in the GI Joes world that interested me.

Hasbro has put out the new and improved current version of the Sharc Tooth and Deep Six. Below are a couple of images to get your juices flowing.

Deep Six looks a bit blocky for me. He looks kinda like a Lego toy or something. I would have preferred to see a little me detail and realism go into this particular figure. I guess the idea is to redo the original version and keep it as similar as possible. I would’ve elected to do him up a bit better. That’s just me though.

Now, I am totally impressed with the Cobra Firebat Jet and his A.V.A.C. vehicle. This is a good looking GI Joes action figure in my humble opinion. I will have one of these. However, I am running out of display room.

The GI Joes A.V.A.C. is a gruesome looking fella and I’d hate to tick him off. I look forward to doing a little more research into this character.

Here are a few images released from Hasbro of the Cobra Firebat Jet with A.V.A.C. action figure. Again, my compliments to Hasbro on this redesign.

I have a few of these GI Joes vehicles on order and will place them in the store when I receive them. I am in line to get a few of these from my distributor in late October sometime. Of course, I will be adding some of them to my collection and the rest will go into the GI Joes shop.

I have three different series of the GI Joes wave 10 group of 25th anniversary GI Joes on the way. Hasbro has come out with the original wave 10, the wave 10 revision 1 and the wave 10 revision 2. Does anyone have any idea why they do this? Why don’t they just go wave 10, 11 and 12?

I have the GI Joes wave 10 on backorder and the shipments should be coming in as I’ve stated below. Wave 10 should be in during November sometime, revision 1 in September and Revision 2 in November. I’m looking forward to this wave for a few of the figures included, specifically.

I’m dying to see Mutt & Junkyard, Snake Eyes with the parka and the Cobra Bazooka Trooper; which I’ve managed to get a picture of.

GI Joes Wave 10 – November

• 1x Duke (Tiger Force)
• 1x Mutt & Junkyard
• 2x Para-Viper
• 2x Cobra Bazooka Trooper
• 1x Croc Master
• 1x Wraith

GI Joes Wave 10 Revision 1 – September

• 1x Snake Eyes (Parka)
• 1x BAT
• 1x Duke (Tiger Force)
• 1x Mutt and Junkyard
• 1x Para-Viper
• 1x Cobra Bazooka Trooper
• 1x Croc Master
• 1x Wraith

GI Joe Wave 10 Revision 2 – November

• 1x Armored Cobra Commander
• 1x Rock & Roll
• 1x Major Bludd
• 1x HISS Driver
• 1x Snake Eyes #4
• 1x Roadblock (City Assault)
• 1x Baroness
• 1x Mutt & Junkyard

Again, more issues of Snake Eyes. Well, I guess he happens to be one of America’s favorite GI Joes action figures and we will see plenty of him in wave 10. I’m not complaining, but I sure wish Hasbro would focus on kicking out more of the individual figures instead of doing the same one over and over.

When I was a kid, I would have never bought the same figure dressed or painted differently. I was always on a mission to add a new character to my army of GI Joes. I guess the 25th anniversary figures are more oriented towards the collector; which I see myself as these days.

Here are the GI Joes wave 10 images that I could get my hands on.
