Tan Clutch Revisited
A recent post on Hisstank featuring a set of custom original thirteen Joes in tan a la Grunt and Clutch got me to thinking about those two guys, and how much I like the tan repaints. I’ve covered ’84 Clutch once before, so why not share a few more thoughts? Tan Clutch is one of my most fondly remembered Joes.
Read moreDuke (2010 Resolute)
It’s no surprise that Duke could garner two figures from the short lived toy offerings based on the Resolute animation. The first figure, a single carded all purpose Resolute Duke, improved on some poseability problems from the initial 25th assortments. This one goes the route of an environment specific outfit, but I still like the overall appearance. This figure has

Note to the Reader: the Joe A Day writer has been fighting a cold for three weeks, and is feeling more than a little surly and irritable. That may or may not explain the tone of today’s post. As you were. I see the Ultimate descriptor given to some of the most recent GI Joe figures, and I think, is
Read moreGI Jane US Army Helicopter Pilot (1997)
A GI Jane figure was one of the first subjects of this blog, almost two and a half years ago. For those initial entries, I was coming at things from a more historical perspective, introducing various highlights of Joe’s history with each post. Since I’ve already covered a bit of Jane’s history in that original post, I think this one

Here’s something I never thought I’d see: an arctic themed Scrap Iron. He hails from the internet exclusive multi pack known as the Extreme Conditions: Arctic Assault Squad. What a mouthfull! The pack was decent enough at least for its offering of a couple more 25th anniversary style Snow Serpents, as well as a Snow Serpent officer. Scrap Iron here

Read moreAlvin “Breaker” Kibbey (2005)
Breaker. He’s one of the original thirteen 80s Joes who have gotten rereleases over the years, but not a redesign. He’s been in comic packs as both an o-ring and modern style figure, and he’s had a place in the Stars and Stripes set back in 1997. Okay, okay I take back the lack of a redesign statement, since the
Read moreSand Viper (2005 Single Pack)
The Sand Viper concept is an interesting update of previous Cobra desert operatives. These newer arid attackers are even more effective at functioning in high desert heat. Not only are they chosen for their innate ability to withstand the rigors of the environment, but they’re also given a high-tech uniform to aid them. The outer body armor is resistant even
