I'm K.B. 25, and I am new to the joe club here. I, of course, grew up in the 80's with the real american hero line and comics/cartoon. While I have followed the recent joe stuff since it's resugence a few years ago, I wasn't overly impressed until I saw the new 25th anniversary figures.
I came across this site and after a few days of looking around, I decided to enlist (lol sorry had to do that joke)
Sadly over the years my subsantial joe collection from my childhood has dwindled away to just about nothing but with the new 25th anniversarry figures my passion for collecting the joes has been renewd.
At present time they aren't available at retail places here in Canada (the place I call home) but luckily comic shops around my area do carry them and for christmas (which is also my birthday) my parents bought me Shipwreck and Beachead (2 of my (many) favorite Joes as a kid). Since then I have been able to add Destro and Stormshadow (both vave 4) to my collection.
Hopefully this site helps me to meet others who love the joe franchise and enjoy talking about it and I look forward to getting to know all of you.
YO JOE!!!
p.s. The Snake Eyes ICONS bust was also under my tree this year
