There is nothing i like more an European Catalog for GI Joe Adventure team toys and this one from Polistil Italy is a lot of fun. Here they are the Action Team and all science fiction is toned down in favour of a slightly more paramilitary look. As always, the products and faces are familiar […]
My first action figure love was the GI Joe Adventure team, truly the gateway experience for a pretty happy childhood. No matter how many times I see the art on those wonderful painted boxes, I feel five years old. I seriously hope that never fades. Here are some fun links to explore on the site: […]
It’s true, I loves me some GI Joe. While I have no room to put it all, I sure like to window shop.
This G.I. Joe radio is completely bad ass but I’m confused as to what use the “Sing Along” feature would have to the bearded world adventure…

While I never had this great set, I ogled it dozens of times in the amazing GI Joe Adventure Team Viewmaster set. So much to love in this thing; ropes, rifles and reptiles!
Skydive to Danger is to me the coolest GI Joe set ever and not just because I had it as a kid. The scenario of Joe parachuting into the Web of a cool giant Spider to me, has the perfect elements of childhood, a dose of reality and a big heaping hand of kid logic.My […]
