Greetings all. Good to see there is a Canuck GI Joe community! I know there are a few of us scattered here and there.
I am located in Kingston Ontario
I got my first GI JOE in 1967, a GI JOE Action Sailor, and have been hooked ever since. I have a small collection of 12 inch Joes from the 60's to the 00s.
In 1986 I saw my first 3 3/4 inch GI JOE RAH while walking through Zellers, a ninja, Storm Shadow and a Green Beret, Falcon, which I bought right away, and that started me collecting for myself and my nephews. They had about fifty figures and about twenty vehicles before they grew up and gave their toys away. Even though they grew out of them I kept about a 20 of the figures that I bought, mostly Cobra because I would be the bad guys that my nephews would always defeat. Eventually I had my own children and they got to play with those figures and others I picked up at local yard sales. I picked up a few other figures from other collectors in the USA and now I have found JOE CANUCK . How cool is that!
