Clutch, in both the Straight and Swivel Arm versions, as well as the "Tan" version, occupy an area of the Hall of Fame as the newest complete inductee !

Introducing the Toymorrow 1982 GI Joe Hall of Fame

Up top at the menu bar you might notice a new feature to this Blog. I have a collecting agenda after the new year: to immortalize the origins of the 3 3/4 G.I. Joe line. I will put together a "Hall of Fame" combining every original Joe and Cobra in both Straight and Swivel Arm versions. It will be a difficult task and some my other pieces might have to be sold off to gain the capital for this venture, but I think it will be worth it !

 

I remember vividly the first time I saw the Joes on store pegs ... In 1982, at K-Mart in Cheektowaga, my mother pointed out the carded beauties to me and I fell in love. For the next 3 to 4 years, GI Joe would take over almost all my play. Yeah, sure there were some dalliances with other toys along the way, but I ALWAYS came back to the Joes.

Here is the GI Joe Hall of Fame wing of the Museum of Toymorrow:

 

Under the Kramer painting it stands tall:

 

 

As you can see, I have a start with Breaker, Hawk, Rock n Roll and Snake Eyes.

Grunt is done as I have all his versions already.

 Several are in pieces waiting for reassembly as well

 

 

 

(The Back is mirrored so the future pictures will have to be set up better :)

This will truly be a labor of love. I have the greatest memories of this line, as it commands so much attention in my play history. This is the line that superseded Star Wars ! The 3 3/4 GI Joe line made all other toys second rate and now I have a chance to collect the original line and explore each memory that is attached to them !!

Stay Tuned .....
