1993 Gung-Ho (Mega Marines)

Posted on February 21, 2022 by Nekoman

1993 Gung-Ho (Mega Marines) The Mega Marines are a vexing subgoup within what was offered in the 90‘s GI Joe line. Given the fact they were dropped faster than both DEF and certainly Sonic Fighters, I’ll go ahead and assume … Continue reading →

1993 Dr Mindbender

Posted on February 15, 2022 by Nekoman

1993 Dr Mindbender Dr Mindbender amounts to Cobra’s resident mad scientist, and is one of the original crazy Cobra’s before 1987 came along and saturated the line with rejected Spider-man villains. For most of my life, I’ve preferred villains who … Continue reading →

1993 Mace

Posted on November 30, 2021 by Nekoman

1993 Mace The 1993 Joe line really isn’t for everyone. In fact, this is probably the point where overall, the line was going down in quality and cheaping out on things where possible (generic weapons, repaint figures). Still, there’s an … Continue reading →

1993 Gristle

Posted on September 14, 2021 by Nekoman

1993 Gristle I’ve spoken before of how I’m a big fan of the Headhunters, so it probably shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that I like Gristle a lot. Overall he’s kind of a mediocre figure, but he has … Continue reading →

1993 Balrog

Posted on August 23, 2021 by Nekoman

1993 Balrog In hindsight, the 90‘s Street Fighter II crossover was somewhat surreal. I say this, because GI Joe has very rarely done this sort crossover, and really hasn’t done anything like it ever since. Now, that doesn’t count the … Continue reading →

1993 Mudbuster

Posted on August 10, 2021 by Nekoman

1993 Mudbuster 90‘s GI Joe figures are awesome; 90‘s GI Joe vehicles however, more often suck. I have some I really like, but it seems like in most cases, the good 90‘s vehicles are only “mostly okay”, while the bad … Continue reading →

1993 Dinohunters Dinosaur

Posted on April 1, 2021 by Nekoman

1993 Dino-Hunters Tyrannosaurus Rex I’ve wanted to do a joke for April Fools for several years now, but I’m not really keen on derailing my blog with irrelevant content from figure profiles. The best way I’ve concluded to do a … Continue reading →

1993 Star Fighter

Posted on March 9, 2021 by Nekoman

1993 Starfighter The Star Brigade line overall made some really solid choices in molds to reuse for a space-only themed GI Joe line. The ‘87 POGO getting turned into the Invader, a spacecraft, was a good example of a pretty … Continue reading →

1993 Mail Away General Hawk

Posted on December 8, 2020 by Nekoman

1993 Mail Away General Hawk A lot of the 90‘s mail aways are some pretty weird figures. Whereas early mail away items were often early releases of figures like Major Bludd or Duke, and often entirely new characters like Star … Continue reading →

1993 Headhunter

Posted on May 5, 2020 by Nekoman

1993 Headhunter An odd phenomena from the end of ARAH was Hasbro’s penchant for slight repaint color variations. Not really new figures, but re-releases with small changes, like different parts and usually a swapped color on a single paint application. … Continue reading →
