General Joe Talk / Re: Do collectors hate 12" Joes?

« on: August 08, 2009, 02:30:39 AM »

My first GI JOE was the 12' GI JOE Action Sailor back in 1967. I too enjoy both scales 1:6 (12 inch) and the 3 & 3/4 or 4 inch. It is very obvious that both scales have very serious dedicated followers. I too have belonged to both on-line groups and have found that the 1:6 scale collectors have nothing but good comments for all smaller scale GI JOE collectibles, and that it is only recently that small scale collectors are attacking the 1:6 scale collectors. It is a mystery to me, because like the old TV commercial used to say.... Only GI JOE is GI JOE. You know what I mean!

Introductions / Re: New Joe Canuck

I was search for Canadian Joe webpages and found JOE CANUCK. I used to be a member of a couple of Gi jOE Groups on Yahoo, for 1:6 scale, but the chit chat has pretty well died out. The last big activity was when the WALMARTS (only) in the USA re-released the 12 inch GI jOE Adventure Team with Kung Fu grip. Also most of the people the are in the USA. It is nice to read what people are finding here in Canada. I also would rather trade , buy and sell GI Joes in Canada. It is easier and less costly then delaing with someplaces/people in the USA.

Introductions / New Joe Canuck

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!
