GI Joe: a REAL American Hero

The original GI Joe action figure was produced by Hasbro in 1964. There is no doubt that GI Joe has stood the test of time. GI Joe has been reinvented several times but nothing compares to the original GI Joe 12 inch action figure.

GI Joe, vintage 12 inch collectible figures 

GI Joe, is a Real American Hero! GI Joe is the action figure that started it all. I grew up in the era of the full sized GI Joe action figure, the original 12 inch GI Joe by Hasbro. America's Movable Fighting Man! After all, who didn't have a GI Joe when they were growing up? (besides my sister of course)

When I grew older and had children of my own it was really exciting when my boys became interested in the 3 3/4 inch GI Joe's - smaller but still very cool. Later when the larger GI Joe's were re-issued my sons became interested in those as well. (I was such a proud pa pa and the best part was I could play with GI Joes once again! Of course just acting like it was my fatherly duty).

There is something special about a GI Joe action figure, and now they have become some of the hottest collectible toys on the planet. Collecting GI Joe's can be a fantastic investment because they increase in value all the time, but more importantly collecting GI Joe's is a fun way to connect with your kids or relive your youth.

I have located some great deals on all types of GI Joe collectible stuff. Vintage GI Joe action figures, vintage GI Joe accessories, GI Joe 25th anniversary figures, GI Joe comic books, GI Joe everything!

If you are anything like me you just can't get enough GI Joe stuff. I still have most all of my GI Joe collection that I had as a child. I even have two full size Action Joe Indy cars! Me and my brother were GI Joe fanatics and it always bothered me when the neighbor kids would destroy their GI Joes by lighting them on fire, or blowing them up with firecrackers on the 4th of July - that's the kinda of stuff that should only be done with plastic army men. :)

If you are a GI Joe fanatic like I am please sign my guestbook below and tell me about your GI Joe collection!
