what past memories come to mind when you think about G.I. Joe?
for me the 80's were the golden years (for many others too when you look at pop culture). that being the case i have many other memories when i think of G.I Joe.
the smell of my cousins house. the smell of dirt, yeah, we played a lot in the dirt. wrestling, it played a big part in my life and in we used our joes to play it out. hulk hogans wrestling all stars, i think that is what the cartoon was called. the super bowl shuffle, cannot, cannot get that out of my head. spending hours and hours drawing pictures. listening to bands like bon jovi, poison and white snake. the girls me and my friends had crushes on who are now out of shape lol. star wars and young guns. playing guns. racing cans in the creek. jem, the cartoon. the list goes on and on. what are some of your memories? |

My memories when I think of G.I.JOE
Funnily enough I also think of dirt, and sand.. because i used to take them to the beach..  I also think of my friend who used to come over and we used to pick GIJOE teams.. build up a big story line and have hours of fun.. our summers (6 weeks holidays) as it was called back then.. we used to be off school and have 6 weeks of none stop GIJOE.. I also think about our old house we used to live in.  Good Times.

The 80's
Zandar was my first Joe in 86. He was my Rambo, Rocky and the number 10 (the star) of my soccer team. Yeah, I used to play soccer games with my joes and cobras.
GI Joe also remember me of Papo, a childhood friend. I know GI Joe because of him. He had almost 82 and 83 figures, the Stinger and the Fang. I was in love of Destro, his shiny head was so appealing. I remember the summer vacations in the house of my grandfathers in Quito - Ecuador. The toystore only have the figs from 2 years ago. It was like time traveling. I bought BigBoa and the Mamba in 1989! In one of those vacations, one night, I made a parachute for Outback, I gave him Law's uzi and dropped him since the 3rd floor of my grands house. In the first floor was a cousin of mine, his mission was to watch and capture him. Outback landed safely. But when I reach the first floor, Outback was gone. My cousin said he threw it to the air and became a MIA... I didnt believe him then. You what I'm thinking about. I enjoyed the 80s a lot. one of the best times of my life.

The Christmas my brother and I got the Flagg. Not only was it the most awesome playset ever, we were the only ones in the neighborhood to get it...ever! I can still remember my dad putting it together, it took him about 6 hours. Never before, nor since, have I ever heard such masterful, poetic filth come from one man.

Theres one Very Happy memory i'll never forget that involved G.I Joe,it was way back when G.I Joe was first getting going.I was sick alot when I was a Kid,and just about every Year i'd have to go to UVA for Surgery.At this point I had the first bunch of Figures,and a couple Vehicles.And around the time I was going down for one of my many Yearly Operations the Mobat Tank was just coming out,and you couldn't find them anywhere yet.My Grandpa spoiled me something crazy,he would take me to buy all my Joes.So before I left he asked me what I wanted him to get me for a Present for when I got back,and of course I said the Mobat.Well I was gone for 2 Weeks for my Surgery,and the whole time I was gone I found out Grandpa was going crazy driving & calling everywhere trying to find me a Mobat.Well he never let me down one time in my life,and this time wasn't any different.He finally found a Store that just got a couple in,so he drove there ASAP and bought me one.The only trouble was the Store was around 3 hours away,but that didn't stop him.And sure enough when me my Mom & Grandma pulled into the Driveway there was Pop with a Big Smile & my brand new Mobat,that sure made one Sick Boys Day!I still have my Mobat to this Day,but my Paw passed away in 1995.I always took great care of my Mobat,it never even went outside.So it's still in Mint Condition,and it's one Mobat that's Priceless to me! THANK'S Paw!
