JoeADay.com is now 1DJoes.com!
After almost three years of daily GI Joe blogging, I’ve decided that a format change is in order. While I’ve enjoyed traveling the breadth and depth of the brand, things have gotten a bit stale for me. I felt like I needed a more dynamic focus, and wanted to look at my favorite toy line from a new perspective. At the same time, and with the help of a group of investors who shall remain nameless, I’ve developed a new scanning technology that downconverts three dimensional objects to their base dimension. In simpler terms, 1D. Rather than begin with the 1982 figures, I decided to focus the first batch on my favorites from 1984. There were so many glorious and now iconic figures that year, and now for the first time, they’ve been converted into a 1D format using ultra-secret (and exclusive to 1DJoes.com) scanning technology. But enough of my yakkin’, let’s get to the 1984 figs in all their one dimensional glory! Enjoy, and look for more updates in the near future. Yo 1DJoe!

By the way, if one dimension isn’t enough, check out the incredible and exhaustive 3DJoes.com for 3D interactive pics of every 1982-1994 Real American Hero figure. While you’re there, buy a poster or two or three to support the project!
Baroness, Spirit and Freedom, and Storm Shadow look amazing.
I’m looking forward to seeing my namesake done in this style
April Fooling a bit early, aren’t ya?
Amazing the level of detail you are able to capture with one simple dimension, Rob!
Great idea. And 1984 is my favorite year for Joes, too! Who needs innovation? I say 1D is the wave of the future.
It’s also gotta cut down on that pesky photo budget. 😉
I don’t know if it cuts down on expenses due to all the innovative technologies (and let’s face it, this is serious innovation right here) being utilized here. Might be a wash when all is said and done. That said, It is astounding what science and technology can accomplish!
Mind. Blown.
Keep up the great work!
Bah, the articulation isn’t up to the standards of the original sculpts. Childhood ruined.
Appropriate because most of us GI JOE collectors are one dimensional types.
To quote Tom Cruise in the movie ‘Taps’, “It’s beautiful, man! It’s beautiful!”. 😉
I would totally buy a poster of that. Sweet!
Ahahahahah!
