My Christmas Gift - 1983 GI JOE Headquarters w/ O13 Joes
« on: December 16, 2012, 09:08:52 PM »

Hi Guys,

Before I packed away this gift I had to make sure all was there. Sure enjoy Jodi is as awesome as awesomeness, and well the real reason I wanted to take a peep and set up with my O13 joes. So I'm so very excited that I wanted to share with all my joe bro's on here :)

I've wanted this as a kid and adult for years and thanks to Jodi at HUBCITYTOYS I finally had a chance to get it. Thanks Jodi for being my own personal Santa Clause this year. You rock!...That reminds me I need to leave some awesome feedback for you on this :)

1. This is just a top down shot, where I had a chance to quickly pose some of my O13 joes. needless to say I can't wait to get this open on Christmas and have it home and get it all set up  8) :


2. This is a back shot with good ol' dragonfly and wildbill alone w/ steeler and the MOBAT. I also had to have my JUMP set in this. I love that I managed to get a Canadian HQ. Got to love that flag!


3. This is the middle and right side of the HQ. I wanted to get Clutch in there with the vamp and pose him as doing some work on the ol'VAMP. As well my Cat is a JOE fan too and just couldn't get away from the HQ! LOL. I stuck the barb wire from POC Dusty and put it on the Jail Cells just for fun.

One kewl thing is that all the decals are there for the computer station and monitors. Though it's old and sort of cheesy, I really love the Graphics.


4.This is just a top shot of the left side. Wanted to see what that POV looked like in a photo.


5. Again a top down shot so that I could get the scope of the HQ in the shot and see the silly poses that I have the figs in for fun here now. Notice Short Fuze sitting on the steps taking it easy :P


6. Yet again! Another top down shot, just wanted to show my Dragonfly (Thanks grnt4mvp, for that the MOBAT and VAMP). Steeler sitting on his but on the stairs just watching everyone...eheheheh


Anyways....wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to ALL the awesome people and friends that I've made on here. This site was a Monster in helping me start my ARAH collection...it's amazing how massive it's gotten over the past year.

Jumping from a plane,
Crazylegs :P

10-4 over and out.

very nice, just a question about the HQ, the euro version has a secret compartment underneath where your tank is, it was to keep filecards in and so on, does the joe one have the same?

yeah that little hiding place for file cards is under the MOBAT. Would love to see your version. Is it much different?
Tonight me and dad are setting up three shelves one, 20" wide and 8' long..then two 16" x 8' and the next is 12" x 8'

Plus the four layer shelve I have now with all my small to medium stuff....will have massive room for all my big things, 2 x whale, the HQ, Jets and Helicopters....I"m really stoked :)

Jody man, still loving it of course!...I just moved and had to set up all my shelves in my studio room and been putting my collection back on the shelves. Love that HQ always did since I first seen it at 8.
