Can’t believe G.I.Joe Magazine got an interview with ALF. We used to have proper journalism.

He’s just my favorite D-tier Joe, and my favorite of the ARAHC era

GI Joe picture of the day: "Well sir, his gear LOOKS like advanced tech. Maybe a weather dominator, or an ultra-low frequency paranoia wave transmitter. But...there's nothing inside. It's all fake." With Hawk, Sci-Fi, Mainframe, and Dial-Tone (1986), Psyche-Out (1987), and Peter Venkman (2023).

Some photos of the 1994 Joseph Colton: forgotten--figures.blogspot.com/2026/04/1994... Once, this guy was super collectible. Now, he's just a really good figure from the final year of the line. #GIJoe

GI Joe #155 Giving the series “main” character Snake-Eyes an opportunity to speak via letter, more dialogue than he’d had in the entire series prior, to the son of a former squad mate of his who’s considering enlisting. It’s Hama basically writing as himself, pulling no punches.

GI Joe’s Ninja Force Dojo and Marvel’s Midnight’s Fire, are they connected? Maybe? It’s certainly possible. My friend @somnamrover.bsky.social often sends me texts that read “Custom ML (insert character X) figure when?” And a picture of said character. Yesterday, it was this 1/6

I dont' know whether to be creeped out or impressed that Apple Photos recognizes 1986 Mindbender and 2004 Mindbender as the same person despite their different head sculpts. (It apparently does NOT recognize the 1993 head sculpt, though.)

A look back at the Takara Cobra Trooper: forgotten--figures.blogspot.com/2017/04/taka... About 15 years ago, you could get all the carded Takara figures you wanted for just a slight premium over a mint, loose Hasbro figure. Now, they've all been gobbled up and are pricey. #GIJoe

GI Joe picture of the day: "You'll be working for us now." (Fun fact, CC's downfall as a used car dealer came when he bet big on DeLoreans. They're all stored in Springfield now...and Mindbender has plans.) With Dr. Mindbender (1986), Crimson Guards (1985), and Doc Brown (ReAction+ 2025).

I have been sucking air for 50 years today. These little plastic guys came by way of post to commemorate the event. Or they’re going to eliminate me. Either way, they look good #GIJoe

These were the six packs you dreamed of as a kid 😊 #starwars #ranchoobiwan #starwarsmuseum #kennerstarwars #theempirestrikesback

$1 Pick up

GI Joe picture of the day: I wonder how many kids asked their parents to buy the SCUBA Pack because they had Wet-Suit, but had lost his breathing tubes? Featuring Barbecue (1985), Wet Suit (1986), Torpedo (1983), SEAL (Heavy Armor Toys 2025), the WHALE (1984), and the SCUBA Pack (1988).

Ripcord

Have you ever seen a Han Solo figure with Ralph Wiggums haircut? If not, well you’re welcome.

A look back at the 1990 Captain Grid Iron: forgotten--figures.blogspot.com/2014/04/1990... Some weird concepts work. Others do not. #GIJoe

And an alternate angle, with a better view of the trapped HISS Driver.

I can’t do Armor Tech stuff but I have been thinking of this Mega Marines style Flash. What do you think?

Its never too late to learn about something new and for me its this GiJoe Woodworking Set. Its pretty crazy that I had never seen this before but happy to discover it now.

I’ve been wondering what to do with the Void Rivals characters Solila and Darak. I think they’d be useful as some kind of cybertech mercenary duo, an intelligent sort of contrast to the Dreadnoks #GIJoe #VoidRivals

A look back at the 1994 Action Marine: forgotten--figures.blogspot.com/2016/04/1994... He's far less popular than you'd think. #GIJoe

GI Joe picture of the day for #TechnoViperTuesday: The transparent composites used to make HISS cockpits are surprisingly strong. But they are prone to getting stuck when damaged in combat. Then you need the "jaws of life."

New episode is up ! What would it cost you to buy the entire 1998 GI Joe toy line today ? www.youtube.com/watch?v=eO6b...

For #VintageToyTuesday are what I call the 2004 Walmart "desert" Joes & their counterparts two pack. I remember this being a big deal at the time to hunt down, but I found them. #gijoe #vintagetoys

Day 117 of a year of toy pics - of course, Cobra Commander makes his demands known when the only two Joes around are Mainframe and Breaker. Good thing they know how to trace his signal and get the rest of the team on the way! #ToyPhotograpy #toys #GIJoe #ARAH #YoJoe

I’m very pleased with this Python Patrol Serpentor.

GI Joe bonus pic: Lady Jaye (ReAction+ 2026). I'm not sure I'll get any of the other 250th figures, because they look ridiculous, but this one is just slightly redeemed by the solid colors and the first hatless LJ head since the undersized Comic Pack one. She's undermined by the painted skin though.

A look back at the 1985 Silver Mirage: forgotten--figures.blogspot.com/2016/04/1985... This thing looks cool. But, it's a terrible toy that won't stay together. #GIJoe

GI Joe picture of the day: Blocker and Steamroller with the Eliminator and Mobile Command Center (all 1987).

Rarities rewind for this week is the Funskool Maltova figures: forgotten--figures.blogspot.com/2019/06/funs... Another of the weird Funskool promotions that were offered. #GIJoe

GI Joe picture of the day: The Ninja-Vipers have gone co-ed for #CobraSunday (don't tell Pete Hegseth). Featuring originals (1992), Black Major (2022) and Lady Jaye Toys (2025).

I ranked the original 13 Joes: forgotten--figures.blogspot.com/2026/04/the-... Everyone else does it. So, why not? Let me know your thoughts. #GIJoe

GI Joe picture of the day: Mutt's MAC-10 is the Mauler's last chance.

I kinda wish I got more old G.I. Joe vehicles. The club did some really nice Adventure Team stuff.

GI Joe picture of the day: Trouble in paradise! Featuring Flint and Lady Jaye (all parts by Lone Wolf Toys, painted by me, except Flint's head which is 2001) and Eels (1985).

A look back at this early Cobra Mortal from Black Major: forgotten--figures.blogspot.com/2012/04/boot... This remains one of my favorite factor customs. It's simple but elegant. #GIJoe

I got 1 fitness influencer into my Instagram feed. Immediately blocked them. Now, I see new ones every other post. Can't block them fast enough. IG used to be awesome. Now, it's barely usable. Enshittification for the benefit of the worst people.

Got to see one of my figures I did for @thedragonfortress.bsky.social on this post! Not sure why this was used as an example… unless he was subtly hinting this was one of the “figures that have a bit of scarcity and reverence to them” which is goofy because nobody cares about Sound Attack Stalker

A look back at the 1984 Blowtorch: forgotten--figures.blogspot.com/2006/04/1984... Another classic who's high on my list of favorite figures. #GIJoe

GI Joe picture of the day: Cover Girl (2024), Flash and Snake Eyes (both 2025), and the Wolverine and PAC/RATs (1983). I realized I almost never photograph the Wolverine, maybe because I'm not sure what to do with it. You put one figure in the cockpit, then you're sort of done.

GI Joe picture of the day: Out of the cold and into the GI Joe jail! All of these figures were released in 2025.

I’ve been planning on doing a custom version of this for a while but I’m still missing some stuff. I believe I need the gun rack, a missile launcher base (I have the rack and missiles), a cover for the missile platform and the bridge like platform thing that goes in the middle

Chiming in with my 2 cents again. This is my current set up. With his fellow color companions. #gijoe

Some content on the European Mutt from around the web: forgotten--figures.blogspot.com/2026/04/euro... This orange haired oddity is a fun alternate look for the classic Mutt character. #GIJoe

European Exclusive Mutt. #GIJoe

GI Joe picture of the day: Ready for liftoff on #TechnoViperTuesday!

New episode is up ! All 1998 GI Joe figures Ranked ! www.youtube.com/watch?v=lakD...

GI Joe picture of the day: Storm Shadow (Retro 2022).

A look back at the 2003 Toy Fare Scarlett: forgotten--figures.blogspot.com/2013/04/2003... This is the best Scarlett. #GIJoe

Found this today in bag of Star Wars toys I’ve had since the early 2000s. Darth Snake Eyes? I wonder what the kid’s storyline was.
