    Finaly bought the Ultimate Guide hardcover off Amazon. Now I can live vicariously through the book because I literally have nothing left from my childhood collection.

    Can we please just get a 6” Gijoe line. All I see when I look at that Ronin figure is Firefly or Storm Shadow.

    That’s the problem is a 6 inch GI Joe line is a big investment for a franchise widely considered dead. I like GI Joe but even I have to admit after I got Cobra Commander, Destro, the ninja, and maybe a few more I would be completely done with that line

    Weird I see Kamakura but hell yeah I'm one hundred percent on board with a G.I. Joe 6" line.

    I know it’s a lot of wishful thinking to ever get a 6” line of joes. I would be all in on that if it would happen though.

    Dear Hasbro,

    Please reissue this with NO changes to the aircraft. Thanks.

    Single greatest jet in the GI Joe collection. I feel like throwing a “Cobra” caveat on there but.... no greatest jet in the GI Joe Collection. *Edit with the coolest pilot to boot, f*ckn’ a

    Quick pic of mine.....

    Weren't those 25th DOCI 7packs the best? They were like one of my top 10 all time favorite purchases as an adult collector. I remember buying 2 of each from smalljoes and splitting the order with my brother-in-law way back in the day......

    I would love the real Raven to be released just with the cockpits modified so they can fit modern era figures. The smaller Ravens we got from the live action movie lines don't hold a candle to the original.

    The Cobra Night Raven is on my to-buy list next. I'm just giving my wallet a long rest after dropping some money on a 100% complete Killer Whale (and a bunch of other stuff :D ).

    THise are 25th Strato Vipers right? How securely do the fit in the 1986 Raven?Drone cockpit?

    I hated how Hasbro changed the cockpit in the reissue Sky Striker and made it a 1 seater instead of a 2 seater plus they eliminated the parachute.

    They don't fit in either, they are just too big and yes, a 2-seater on the 25th Skystriker reissue would have been epic.....

    Patching some drywall holes for some new lighting and I had to take my POC Joe shelf down for a minute.....

    I kind of forgot how awesome this POC Cycle Armor was, very Robotech inspired if you ask me.......
