GI JOE against COBRA the enemy
Ha sorry about the title.
I used to have a boxful of these guys as a kid. Well between me and my brother I guess we had 2 box loads. All given away to a family friend.
Today I purchased 25th Snake Eyes w/timber... I really hope I don't fall down the slippery slope of GI Joe collecting.

Hehehe, "COBRA The Enemy"... as opposed to "COBRA the Dental Surgeons"?Or possibly "COBRA The Stuttering Singaporeans*," - "Cobra-La-La-La-La-La-La!"

*Comment was made for parody purposes only. Cobra doesn't recruit agents from Singapore as far as I know.

Oooohhh your on a dangerous precipice there, I started with 2 GI Joe 5 packs in 2007, and was impressed to say the least. And last year with TF Animated
failing to grab me, the Joes and Cobras drove back my TF collection and defeated them in open battle as I collected more Joes than TF's, only Universe and Henkei survived the onslaught.
Better watch out there are some awfully nice figures in this line.
"Cobra the Dental Surgeons" would be appropriate for Doctor Mindbender, evil genius and dentist extrodinare.Hehehe, "COBRA The Enemy"... as opposed to "COBRA the Dental Surgeons"? Or possibly "COBRA The Stuttering Singaporeans*," - "Cobra-La-La-La-La-La-La!"
I always thought the Cobra-La battle cry should be sung the same as the Smurf song. Cobra la LA la LA la la la sing a happy song....

Yeah... I know. I think a couple of factors might just save me though. The first is the supply of these things at TRU is pretty bad and even when they have figures cool enough to buy... they seem a little too expensive. At $12-13 I think I'd be out of control but not at $16. Secondly the AU$ is pretty shady against the US$ at the moment and shipping is pretty high... as a general rule I would prefer not to deal with americans... some are great, most are pretty lousy. And thirdly, I think these toys are a touch too small to display well... I don't like mosc or misb collections and this size of toy just doesn't grab me.Oooohhh your on a dangerous precipice there, I started with 2 GI Joe 5 packs in 2007, and was impressed to say the least.

Your lucky you didn't start when the dollar was strong then $8 Gi Joes = yes please.
Mine display plenty fine though.

haha this snake eyes cost me $24... that's what bin on ebay can inspire.
Your pictures bring back memories... especially those 2 in the blue and red. Can't really remember much about the cartoon, but the toys made a pretty big mark on my brain. How many (25th) do you own?

The cartoon was pretty campy IMO... the original Marvel comics were pretty good. Larry Hama is to G.I. Joe fans as Simon Furman is to Transformers fans.
