Thanks for the welcome Scramble and Raptor, much appreciated.
Cool. I've got a few novels under my belt, one that I indie published. You can check it out on my website if you like: www.ianoneill.ca. My screenplay, Eden's Shame, won best screenplay at last year's Pocono Mountains Film Festival. Anytime anyone wants to talk movies or writing - I'm in!
I checked out amazon and a few other locations for G.I. Joe novels - not graphic novels, but fiction novels. I was surprised that I couldn't find any. Looks like Joe is in for the movie treatment: Paramount is producing the film. I got this off HSX:
The Real American Heroes G.I. Joe will be turned into a live-action feature film. Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura secured the film rights from Hasbro. The toy soldiers debuted in 1964 and has since become a fixture in the American youth culture.
Just says it's in development. I'd love to know when it might hit theatres.
Thanks again for the welcome - I'll definitely be around.
Cheers,
Ian

I'm a writer myself, screenplays and theatre mostly.

Hey All,
I'm Ian and I stumbled onto this great forum when doing a general search for G.I. Joe. I've rekindled my interest in action figures (43 with little cash to spend - go figure) and that includes Joe. He's definitely gone through quite a few changes since I beat the crap out of him right through the seventies. Hands down the best toy ever made! The sad part is that I outgrew Joe and poof - he disappeared. Given to friends with little ones no doubt. It's how I lost all of my toys. I didn't mind at all. Besides, now I get to looking for new ones
I checked out the store and there are a few low priced figures I'd like. I'm hoping to be at the Burlington Toy Show this Sunday (depends on family commitments of course). Hope to meet you Mike - loved the shots of your collection.
I'm a writer (freelance - mostly wildlife and nature but a bit of science and sports) and I try to shoot as many shots to accompany my work. I've recently started dabbling in stop motion animation with my digial camera. Those 3-3/4" Joes would look pretty good in a short film. I haven't written anything yet but I'd love to make a short film about them. Who knows, if I get good enough maybe a few of you major collectors might want to lend your Joes for a shoot?
Anyway...looks like a great place with a great bunch of people. I'm hoping I can keep up.
Cheers,
Ian 'Recon' O'Neill
