Lots of new, factory custom paint jobs of this figure are now available. But, this is the original.

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

The equally awesome and underappreciated Cobra Earthquake.

Did a repaint of this rock ‘n’ roll head and a slightly darker blonde and made him blue eyed, had this kitbash body I made from some spares. Since the original 82 Joes use 3 heads over 10 different characters, this radical change is a completely brand new character

Ripcord is done!

Except I should sand his armholes some more, and he needs another coat of green for his undershirt. And I forgot the pistol in his holster 😭

The entire Hama run of the Marvel Joe title really begins with this issue. It sets everything in motion.

I stopped reading West Coast Avengers because of the Phantom Rider story. And, I had been an avid reader since the limited series.

It seems like the Pulse releases were like 10 years ago instead of 3.

If the original trilogy is going to be mostly represented by retro figures at this point, I'm fine with that. The last set of 6 was awesome.

I'm all for more 3.75" scale. But, I don't see how this funds.

I follow a ton of baseball writers here. Yet, none of the games pop up in my trending items and there's little in game commentary. Even finding scores or recaps is surprisingly hard.

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!

Those Remco S.I.T. figures are one of the coolest subsets of knock offs that was ever made.

I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who filled his GI Joe ARAH ranks with The CORPS! / American defense figures.

Knock offs as they might be, they definitely had a personality all their own.

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).

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.

Lego picture of the day: the FX Star Patroller (1985). I was surprised to find the parts and instructions for this in my childhood collection. I have no memory of it and that was before I got into Legos. It must've been a hand-me-down at some point!

There's a story to be written about how Dr. Mindbender turned Timber into a wolf-man who is now Snake Eyes' best friend.
