I stumbled upon this site earlier today.

Did the "Joes" go to space at one point????

What sad is you know at least one.

I prescribe more sex.

So, I take it you were born a neurosurgeon, and didn't have a childhood????

I agree. I was fucking bitches by the time I was 5. I didn't have time to watch cartoons. I was partying, banging chicks, talking on the farrellaphone.

On a side note, why is it anytime anyone has any hobbies or interests someone has to respond "I think you need to get laid"? I do just about a million things every week, have some big projects I do at home, work of course, and I still get laid. Who the hell isn't able to do anything besides sex? Are you sitting at home planning and carefully orchestrating the next time you'll have sex? Is that why you don't have any time?

But these, my friend, are international heroes.



By the way, I've always wondered(and I might have the answer somewhere in the back of my brain), but what does(did) the CCCP stand for????

That is in Russian, CCCP is the С*юз С*ветских С*ци*листических *еспублик. In English, it is the USSR or Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

These are officially licenced GiJoe action figure from a Company based in India called Funskool.

There are rumors the earlier ones were painted in lead based paints, but Funskool denies all claims.

Some of these figures (not the ones posted on small joes, though) are worth Hundreds of dollars.

I have one that is worth about a thousand and is the only one known to exsist with the head variant.

There areJoes from all over the world. Argentina, (Some of which are the most valuable in the world) Europe, India, Brazil, China, Japan, and so on.

I never knew that stood for something in Russian.

Wow Showing My Age: Had Joes that were 12" and were fighting the Commies (sorry Bela)
Had:
Shipwreck
Flint
The "Bionic" Joe that had hand held helicopter blades that he could use to spin to fly and a robo eye. (yep, inspired by the Million Dollar Man show)
"Bullet Head" a Joe that had "armor" plating around it's body shaped like a bullet. It had a zip line you would attach to the target and let it go down the line to "destroy" the object.
I also had a submarine that was about the size of a large microwave that you could take into the pool.
I still have the "Footlocker" that Flint came in

He would have gone perfectly with my Lenin and Marx action figures.

Loved the GI Joes, used to use them as wrestling figures too. Good times.
