Just Joe-in, Custom GiJoe Comics, Digitally or Printed. #justjoe-in, #gijoe, #adventureteam
I figured this was a great place to feature my friend’s work. Angelo not only collects and customizes 1/6 scale figures; he also makes custom comic books using pictures he has taken of his figures. His building skills are not easily matched and he is magic with a camera. Angelo’s work has also been featured as window displays for a local store in his hometown. How did all of this start? “The comics came about after I had made a ten foot bridge using bamboo garden stakes…boy was that a…

Vintage Toy Commercials #GIJOE, #MEGO, #STARWARS, #MASK, #SMDM
I am a huge fan of vintage toy commercials. Back when the toys were used instead of cartoon or CGI versions of the toys. These commercials gave us a start to adventures and missions that would last for weeks. Here are few commercials I found on You Tube. Of course my favorites are the old Gi Joe Commercials.What toy lines or commercials did you love as a kid?

Just Joe-In Jellystone Park style, #justjoe-in, #GiJoe, #JellystonePark
My family and I took a short vacation over Memorial Day Weekend and spent two beautiful nights in Jellystone Park, in North Java, NY. My good friend Joe came along for the weekend but being as busy as I was, grilling and relaxing, I didn’t have time to go out with Joe anywhere; We were hoping to go exploring for awhile. Luckily my son and daughter stepped in and decided to take Joe out for some fun and show him around a little bit. I believe my 9yr old son…

Forgotten Friday! The awesome MEGO company. #mego, #Forgotten Friday #DC, #marvel

Gi Joe Adventure Team- “Just Joe-In”, #gijoe, #adventureteam, #justjoe-in,
At least once a week I am going to create a post featuring Gi Joe. I am calling it “Just Joe-In” That kind of came about from my wife asking me one day what I was doing and as I was cleaning a vintage Joe, I said “Oh, I’m just Joe-in around.” I just wanted to upload a few pics of a new GiJoe Adventure Team figure I put [contentblock id=1 img=code.png]together. This figure is a Hasbro 40th Anniversary head (repro of original), a super poseable GiJoe modern body, and…
