A thread of my previous GI Joe dio-stories. First, Sierra Gordo:
generalliederkranz.bsky.social General Liederkranz @generalliederkranz.bsky.social · Nov 11
Sierra Gordo, mid-1987: A team of US-backed counterrevolutionaries gets a last-minute briefing from their G.I. Joe advisor before leaving on a raid against Cobra. (This is part 1 of 50 in my #SierraGordoDioStory, from late 2020. It's set between GI Joe comic issues 64 and 69.)

Shinobi
Action figure photo. This is Shinobi (2026) from Whiskeyjack Toys’ Legends of the Hidden Force toy line. It’s a GI Joe-like ninja holding a tonfa sword, wearing a serrape, and also wearing a back sheath with two katanas.

SAS Doberman

A high speed pursuit vehicle, armed with a cannon and coaxial machine gun. Capable of transporting 9 men (one gunner and two in the cab), it is a swift response for the SAS to counter most any threat.

A look back at this bizarre 2002 Gift Set Firefly:

Sometimes, a figure is so bad, it becomes good.

Today's new profile is of the 2000 Cobra Commander:

This could have been the best Cobra Commander Hasbro ever made. If only they'd used the right back piece....

GI Joe comic book figures from Super7! I just find these so darn fun to pose and mess around with. I’m thinking I’ll do a little collection of whatever comic book versions they do! The last two pics were just on a whim because I like those versions. Even though they aren’t comic book versions.

Day 256 of a year of toy pics - the Steel Brigade pull the HAL (Heavy Artillery Laser) out of storage for a bit of upkeep and training. You never know what you'll need to handle Cobra's next scheme!

I prefer the Nitro Viper repaint. But, this guy has merit, too.

GI Joe picture of the day:

Not all of Mindy's astronaut-kidnapping missions are successful.

I took this over 5 years ago, when my Crusader was still in storage, so I just had a spare canopy to use. Maybe I should re-do it with the full shuttle.
Dr Mindbender, wearing a blue snowsuit, is held at gunpoint by Iceberg while Avalanche captures several Techno-Vipers, Gyro-Vipers, and Snow Serpents. Lifeline helps a wounded Payload.
