Dedicated to all things G.I. Joe https://forgotten--figures.blogspot.com/

Built some new shelves to showcase rotating new arrivals. This display is not final, I just wanted to put something up. These are just things I'm excited about at the moment. And, yes, both closet doors have plenty of room to open without issue. This is replacing a busted-ass floor lamp.

GI Joe picture of the day: Heavy Duty hangs by a thread. Featuring Heavy Duty, Road Pig, Cobra Commander, Sludge Viper, and Toxo-Viper (all 1991) and the Toxo-Lab (1992). In retrospect I wish I'd done this against a dark background instead of the baby gate, so the bright colors would pop. oh well!

Heavy duty, wearing his distinctive and quintessentially '90s backwards lime green ball cap, hangs by one arm from the open cockpit of the Badger jeep, which is being held upside down by the grabber arm of the Cobra Toxo-Lab, operated by a Toxo-Viper. Below him, Road Pig (with orange hair), Cobra Commander (the orange-visor version) a Sludge-Viper, and another Toxo-Viper are all trying to grab him.
