I'm doing some cleaning and rearranging in my office, so I figured I should post a picture of the USS Flagg in its current location and configuration (before it moves).

Yo Joe!

GI Joe USS Flagg (1985) along with various figures and vehicles, foreign and domestic, from 1982-on.

I think if I was to sell my Flagg tomorrow, this is what I would build and display.

GI Joe Mobile Command Centre Canadian box front (1987).

Some good stories were told. But I'm not down with Sal's art. And the Kordey issues were way worse!

283 - X-Treme X-Men #19 - 10/9/2002

It's still kinda funny that when Claremont got his own X-title in the early 00s, it got the "X-Treme!" adjective.

GI Joe Picture of the Day: Tactical Planning. I'm not a big fan of Duke (1992) but he goes pretty well with 1988-1989 figures. The red-orange ties them together.

Snake Eyes’ wolf companion Timber had to take an extended period of leave, and there was a slight misunderstanding with the temp agency regarding his short-term replacement, Larry “The Wolf Man” Talbot

Around this time, 15 years ago, we witnessed Jordan Eberle score one of the best first-career goals in NHL history.

My alt text is incorrect. Storm Shadow is on a US cardback. The other five are Canadian.

Colin Henderson @colinhenderson.bsky.social · 2d

My GI Joe figures have been loose on the shelves for years, so I started a project to reunite them with their cardbacks. The results so far...

Snake Eyes, Cobra Officer, and Flint on original Canadian cardbacks (1983, 1985).

Firefly, Storm Shadow, and Duke on Canadian cardbacks (1984).

The dust has settled, the noise drowned. Now, we have unfinished business to focus on.

So I built this Lego Castle set the other day with the intention of selling it... But then I fell in love with it.

Damn.
