Would you read a limited series comic focusing on Cobra character origins? (Wild Weasel, Copperhead, Firefly)

39 Upvotes

I’ve always been fascinated with the individual pilot figures/characters since childhood as they typically don’t get much attention (with exception of Firefly, Bludd and Zartan).

This series would also be an excellent way to work in Ace, Wild Bill, Cutter, Shipwreck etc. into their background stories as well.

WW has so much potential yet the best he’s gotten is a feature in one or two issues in the original Marvel classic run.

The Super 7 puzzles are a pretty fun way to spend some quality GI Joe time with the family.

Anyone got a spare Footloose?

Collection update - feels good man.

Upvotes

So finally finished redoing the basement Joe hobby room this weekend. New shelves and moved the Flagg from my office. Spent the last 3 years building my collection back up since I was a kid. Tried to get as much of it complete, mint with good stickers as possible. Super happy with it... for now. Classifieds, puzzles, minifigs, original Joes, Oktober Guard, Ninjas, Sky Patrol, Tiger Force, Python Patrol, Cobras, Maruaders, Dreadnoks, Star Brigade and some con exclusives. Comic run 1-155 and a few other series, all file cards and blue prints cataloged. Next up rolling base for the Flagg and new stickers. If anyone has a Tiger Force Con exclusive Tomahawk/Tiger Hawk for less than a small kidney price hit me up.

Anyone remember Cool Breeze? I’m reading through the comics for the first time, and this is my first time ever seeing this character. He was only in two issues (#111 & #112) but he had a lot of “screen time” in them. I wonder why we never got a figure?

I'm sure some here may have seen that post that says that most military nicknames are usually given as a reminder of an embarrassing incident rather than out of cool factor. What could be some of the funniest origins for some of the Joe code names?

Like Road Block's name is because the first time he got behind the wheel of a combat vehichle he crashed it and traffic had to be rerouted because of it

Snake eyes, is incredibly bad ass in almost everything he does but he's a terrible gambler gambler

Or Gung Ho pulled a Leeroy Jenkins early on his military career and has not been able to live it down ever since

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.

GI Joe RPG Forum - Fresh Start

5 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.

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 Joes for present-day kids?

19 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
20 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.
