“Hey, I had that guy!” – A G.I. Joe-centric Blog
These new “old” G.I. Joes have got people talking (and buying) like crazy! It seems like everyone has a story about a Joe they had when they were younger, and with every wave that comes out there seems to be more trips down memory lane.
For myself, I was a little to young to remember the Joe heyday, but I do remember my cousins’ collection. They grew out of them, and they became part of the regular rotation of toys at the cottage. Countless Joe limbs and torsos were strewn about the bag, mostly due to those pesky elastics and their constant snapping, but there were a few Joes still intact. These became the prize toys among the younger kids, and the one that I remember in particular was Cobra Commander, with his fancy blue suit, wacky helmet, and what looked like a completely opaque visor. Now that I’m older, I’m still fascinated by Cobra Commander’s look, and I’m this close to buying one. Oh the hazards of working in a toy store.
If you have any G.I. Joe related stories, please feel free to share them, and I’ll put them up on the site, if you wish. For now, I’m just going to put pictures up of the new wave of Joes we just got in stock.
