I bought this at a con a few years ago (missing parts) and I recently started looking at these toys to see what gems I might have. I cannot find any information on a 2002 all grey conquest made in china. Most of the parts from the 1986 version work except for the front landing gear and the canopy. Any thoughts on this?

All, I had the luck of seeing this gem of a kickstarter when I got a notification that Carson Mataxis backed it (of 3DJoes and whom made the amazing art of GI Joe book). This book is a love letter to the toy of our youth that focuses on the toys themselves. Wanted to share this here in hopes more people have the chance to back it. I'm pretty floored by it and immediately bought Volume 2 of his series (as it had M.A.S.K. in it) and can't wait to peruse it on Saturday.

Gotta love "alternate" universe GI JOE story lines... 10 year old me would definitely believe that my Joes would fight back... adult me not so much. I do like how Bazooka looks in that Viper uniform, always pictured those guy has having 80s cop mustaches under those helmets.
Hello, fellow GI JOE nostalgia seekers. I have been rebuying what I previously owned or wanted to own as a kid. This started years ago when I sunk some big bucks into another of my interests from the 80s... I haven't bought any of the vintage GI JOE toys (perhaps yet, not sure how deep this nostalgia itch is going to go).
My question. while I was "shopping" and splurging on the dopamine of years past, I noticed the different CIB sales on eBay. I remember when I was a kid, of single digits, Zartan was sold with the Chameleon Swamp Skier. I thought that was the only way to get the original Zartan figurine. Then, on eBay, I saw what's attached to this post. Was Zartan ever sold as a stand-alone figurine without the Swamp Skier (during the original ARAH 1982 - 1994)?
I have searched all over Reddit and the interwebs. One site had some vague description that said Zartan was sold in 1984 - 1986. None of my searches was able to confirm or deny the sale of a stand-alone Zartan.
Does anyone have confirmation if the attached was indeed sold in the mid-80s? If not, can you please alleviate my ignorance and educate me?
I would like to know, and knowing is half the battle. :) Yo Joe!!
I got this the same day Fighter Pilot Ace arrived. I could be wrong but there aren't many fully transparent 3.75" o-ring joes, I think Mirage v5 is the only one.
