3DJOES

From our friends at 3DJoes.com

The Cobra Missile Command Headquarters has arrived!


“The 1982 Cobra Missile Command Headquarters is the only G.I. Joe playset ever made out of cardboard. It is also the only playset or vehicle to feature product photography rather than illustration on the front of the box. The MCHQ was only sold at Sears and is quite rare. Due to the materials it is extremely fragile, and finding one in decent condition can be quite a task. This set is one of the “holy grails” of 1980s Joe collecting.”

The 1987 Motorized Action Packs have arrived!

“There were eight Motorized Action Packs released in 1987, featuring windup motors and an on/off switches. I had several of these as a kid and I remember really enjoying them. From the Earth Borer’s spinning chrome tip, to the Helicopter’s rotating blades, to the Pom-Pom’s recoiling barrels, they added so much fun to play time. Check them all out today over on the 1987 Vehicle overview!”

3DJoes is headed to Atlanta!


“I’ll have a table in the dealer overflow room and I’ll come stocked with 3DJoes posters, carded ARAH figures and some modern exclusives. Come by, say hello, buy a poster and wish me happy birthday! (I’m turning 35 on Sunday the 16th)”

“My buddy Matt at Vintage3DJoes has been BUSY, adding over 40 new pages of adventure team goodness!”

The G.I. Joe Persuader, Road Toad, and S.L.A.M., the Dreadnok Cycle, and the Cobra Buzz Boar, Jet Pack and Sea Ray have all arrived on the 1987 Vehicle Overview page. Also, the rest of the 1987 vehicle pages are up, with box art and blueprints for almost all of them.
