Still not sure what magazine this appeared in. But, it marked a tonal shift for Hasbro as they headed into 1994 and started to lean into the burgeoning adult collector market.

This is a sculpt of the pre-pro Terror Drome Rampart used when Hasbro was designing the playset.

They flipped it and duplicated it for the other half-it ended up being changed to a different snake design in the finished product but it is still cool to have a piece of the original design in hand!

Since it's going to be 25 F on Sun and 28 F on Mon here in FL, I thought I'd cheat with an appropriate and early #VintageToyTuesday with the 1998 - Cobra Polar Force. One of my 1st purchases from E-Bay (since I never saw it in the store) Still in excellent condition. #gijoe

A look back at the 1989 Stalker:

It's tough to adequately describe just how cool this figure and his accessories actually are.

Today's new profile looks at the 2003 Snake Eyes:

This is the best rendition of the original Snake Eyes sculpt. But, I'm not sure it's so much better to warrant seeking it out.

Here’s something you don’t see every day, and pretty much never.

This is a Rubiplas (Venezuela) Skystriker- about as rare as the Rubiplas vehicles go.

The plastic is far whiter than the US / Canadian release and I’m super happy to have it in my collection.

I'm in the home stretch of the COBRA-LA journey that I started literally six months ago.

You will all love Cobra-La by the time this is done. Every GI Joe fan will respect it. This, I command.

#VintageToyTuesday the GI Joe MANTA. What happened to windsurfing? I feel like it was hot in the 80s but faded away. I even tried it, minus the stabilizer, missile and machine gun. Bought via eBay
