I own a lot of books by George Khoury, in fact this isn’t even the first book by him that I’ve reviewed on this blog and I don’t read much, so that’s pretty special. The reason I own so many, is that George and I seem to like a lot of the same things. His latest […]
Big Red is one of those wonderful toylines that was created specifically for a catalog, in this case the Speigel catalog. A mix of Big Jim and GI Joe, I’ve had many folks tell me about having Big Red as a kid but honestly, I’ve never seen one as a collector. He kind of looks […]
Long ago, I saw these amazing pieces of original Super Joe concept art on Ebay, I regretted not putting a bid in and never got even proper shots of them for the site. As luck would have it, the winner of the auction was none other than my pal John “Toyzilla” Marshall and he graciously […]
I’m moving and forced to pack up my toys, every collector’s nightmare! I’m making the best of it and photographing everything before I box it up.

GI Joe, Action Jackson, Big Jim and Mego Superheroes, pretty close to everything I thought about before Star Wars blew up.

I kind dig that GI Joe’s adventures continued in Europe long after the US handed him his walking papers. More Foreign Joe
While summer comes to end, I now have an awesome set of memories wrapped in some well loved vintage GI Joes. You see, my family chose to spend our summer weekends hiking the wilderness and then exploring a new town. We got some exercise, saw some natural wonders, tried new food and then checked out […]
