My Pal Jesus sent me an email full of pics of incredible 300 figure plus G.I. Joe collection and mentioned to me that it’s for sale. He has Joes from all over the world, Italy, Canada, Spain and most of all, Mexican Lili Ledy Joes which are different from US versions. I’ve had dozens of […]
I wanted to write a big long preface to this week but it was nice outside yesterday and I forgot about it. To be brief, 1982 represented the time when I stopped playing with toys, I drifted aimlessly until I started collecting them three years later.One of the last toylines I picked up was the […]
I don’t think Hasbro ever stopped making this set, it’s always in parts lots. It was so popular that Power Records made a book and record set about it. I had the record as a kid, it was pretty darn terrific!
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!

Joe equivilant.Hasbro gave Mike and interesting back story, a cripple who built his own new (clear) bionic limbs to replace […]
Added the best parts of the 1976 Hasbro Catalog to Plaidstallions.com today including the last year of G.I. Joe and the Adventure Team, Ricochet Racers, the amazing paint sets and Mickey Mouse.Oh and let’s not forget the Weebles!
Continuing our True Value series is this cool toy catalog from 1974, it’s amazing how much things can change in a year or so. 1974 seemed to be a true mix of old guard toys mingling with the new, Big JIm rubs elbows with Johnny West. Barbie turns 16 and Ken goes Mod. Standards such […]
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 […]
