The Vintage GI Joe Room - thevintagegijoeroom

Welcome to my GI Joe Room!

I've played with GI Joe since I was a kid, and have been collecting seriously for around twenty years.  My goal was to find a good example of every item produced between 1964 and 1974.  At this point my want-list is a very short one.  Last Summer we renovated an attic room to be a GI Joe display space.  Enjoy pictures of that project and my collection here.  I hope to add detail pictures of individual sets if anyone out there is interested.  Let me know what you would like to see!

An original shipping case for twelve Action Soldiers. I hope to load it with its full complement of boxed figures,

It shows its age and lacks inserts, but a cool box nonetheless

I had one of these for years, but this was an upgrade
Special Value Talker Box

The box itself has some wear, but the contents are mint! Has the original hard to find outer label for the contents

DOD was an upgrade of my old one, Mysterious Explosion is new to my collection
1969 Fight for Survival

Not a super rare box, but the contents are sealed, including the Joe. Interestingly, he is a properly marked 69 soft head, but his rivets are unpainted.
1970 Fight for Survival
1970 Fight for Survival
Just about the rarest AT window box, outside Magnum Power. The box has some color touch and the contents are re-sewn & re-celloed, but it's all vintage and I'm happy to have it. How many are out there?

The last of the blue boxes I needed, no I have a full set

KFG Figures

Some here are nicer than others. I always vowed to stop my collection at 1973, but now I've been grabbed by Kung Fu gri p and plan to collect to the end of the run. I've had all those late sets at one time or another but sold them to buy 6

The black figure actually has hard hands, The figure that came in the box heartbreakingly crumbled to bits.

I'm looking for the parts of these sets you don't see in the pic- orange helmet, yellow shovel, black hatchet, & a grappling hook.
More loose figures
More loose figures
Again, these need a few parts: pink radioactive rock, compass, proper rubber strap radio and a brown shoulder holster with black pistol, the menacing micro squid, and the black shark

New Stuff Added

The title says it all; see 2010: The Year in Joes above.  I also added some new eye candy down the right column

March 6, 2010 Update

I just added sixty some more pictures providing better views of groups of two or three figures.  Check back in a few weeks for more!

I'm still looking for....

I'm still looking for rare prototype items, a box for my race car, and am thinking of adding a set of KFG-era boxed figures to the collection.  if you have any of these items available, let me know!
