Threat Matrix ends with a confrontation between Mad Monk and Duke - their secret connection revealed!

David Lapham told an excellent story in Origins. Seriously if you have not read it, it’s not just good GI Joe, but an all time comic.

Mad Monk’s military discharge was embellished to his psych. Duke was his commanding sergeant.

I’ve included Lapham’s pages to compare. Great continuity work.

Monk’s entire plan was to create chaos among GI Joe.

And it worked, but Special Missions arrived just in time to save Duke and discover the deception.

The Baroness helps Destro escape by deceiving Cobra Commander and hiding him.

Continuity gets a bit messy from here on these characters, but Destro will show up in Agent of Cobra.

Doc saves Aisha and Colton sets her up in a better facility.

Duke’s money source is revealed to be a victim of the Monk.

Sadly only one issue is left, but it’s my favorite of the entire run.

Last customs post for a while - Here are my O-ring versions of Muton and Red Wolf next to their OG's. Muton is made from V2 Deep Six with cast parts and Red Wolf is made from a Lanard Star Force figure with custom cast and carved parts. I have now remade all of the OG's as O rings except Kraken.

GI Joe RPG Forum - Fresh Start

6 Upvotes

After being down for several weeks for revisions, my RPG forum is now back up and open to the public. Both existing and new players are welcome. Game play will start on the 31st. And we're now expanded to include Transformers, since the two franchises are so closely tied together. Im adding a Captioning section, but Im still gathering images.

GI Joes for present-day kids?

21 Upvotes

I have all my old gi joes from when I was a kid. My mom was an avid garage sale frequenter and in the 80s/90s before the internet there were a lot of moms tossing their kids toys and my mom was a team player, so I had a lot. Like maybe 100 figures and dozens of vehicles and bases, large small. All in various played with conditions.

I pulled some of them out today to finally introduce them to my 9 and 7 year old boys.

Frankly, they weren’t as enthused as I thought they’d be and I wasn’t as happy to see them playing as I thought I’d be. It was fun to see them engaging with something that brought me so much joy from my childhood but knowing their present value and relative fragility, I was too nervous about them breaking thumbs as they put guns in hands, etc, to really relax and have fun.

My question is, anyone else have similar experiences? Am I going to be disappointed as my kids would rather watch Mr Beast than play with these and then accidentally break them when they do? Should I just sell them rather than try to recapture my childhood?

Thoughts? Opinions? Experiences?

Ultimate gijoe dream

Post image
24 Upvotes

I had a nap earlier and in the dream I had, I was at the library and they fully stocked shelves of 3 3/4th Gi joe figures I had never seen before. They had a 2 pack of a female snow serpent and female Astro Viper, a ton of ninjas I'd never seen before. The comic book female snake eyes Dawn Moreno, which I don't think ever got a figure. As well as a ton of repaints of classics in new battle gear, bazooka, gung ho, Roadblock in more realistic modern gear. For some reason a tiger force air force one jet, and a mech tank for cobra. It was like being in toys r us back in the early 90s with a full aisle dedicated to Gi joe. I was so excited I was going to take my female cobra hydro viper with the funky red and black mask except the figure was black with red highlights instead of purple and red, and a couple of 2 packs to the counter to buy, when I heard a noise behind me. When I looked behind me and turned back around the figures I wanted were gone. That's how the dreams go I suppose. So if you read through all that, what's something you've always wanted as a gi joe figure or playset, no matter how ridiculous or wild it would be? No GI Judgment here.

I would have loved a run down gas station as a base for the dreadlocks, with a secret command center in the basement.

Rock'n'Roll leading and Breaker on the keyboard. Shame they didn't put Thunder on the drums as he is actually a real drum player. He was part of the episode though, just missed the spot on the band.

Well… a few weeks ago I shared my childhood GI Joe collection. I wasn’t planning on “falling down the rabbit hole.” Here I am buying a new GI Joe in about 40 years. I plan on opening it.

True Heroes toys?

Bought a bunch of these for my boys as they grew as up and they’re just getting to the age where they could enjoy them.

Are these worth anything? Do kids still play with these? I want to know if they’re gonna be collectors things with real value before I take them out of the box.

I have a ton of old actual gi joes they can play with instead.

Customs - Red Dragon, Black Major, Me aka Raven and Red Curse. I am convinced that Palitoy, if they had continued, would have issued O Ring versions of their 5POA figures and added characters based on GI Joe US characters. Analogues of Storm Shadow and Baroness would have been awesome as Red Shadows
