1984 Scrap Iron #Cobra Anti-Armor Specialist definitely a top five figure for me. now complete with a pretty nice uncut file card w/ an original price tag. i love those... #GIJoe #YoJoe #ARAH #80sToys #ActionFigures #Collectibles #GIJoeCollector #ToyPhotography #GIJoeFigures #ToyCollector

Picked up a couple more 1990 #GIJoe Sonic Fighters - complete Tunnel Rat and Dodger w/ file cards.

Oddball Ephmera - Collected the entire 1985 Triple Win Game Insert Sticker set. A tough hunt since these promos were made to be tossed or mailed in. Lady Jaye, Snake Eyes, Crimson Guard and Bivouac were the hardest to find. Anything with Snake Eyes on it, you know? #GIJoe #Collector #ARAH #Ephemera

#Cobra Dreadnok: Buzzer 1985 now complete w/File Hasbro originally wanted the Dreadnocks to be Teddy Bear type creatures akin to the Ewoks from #StarWars #ROTJ. Hama refused to write the creatures into the Marvel comic book on the grounds that "good guys can't shoot rifles at teddy bears." #GIJoe

The Enemy #Cobra Stinger Driver 1984 when i was a kid i called him Stinger. it was better than the generic The Enemy. neither he nor his file card are in the best shape, but for a toy that's 42 years old, I can't complain. my "friend" Mark stole my Stinger when we were kids. fuck Mark!!! #GIJoe

1985 Crimson Guard - #Cobra Elite Trooper i was today years old when I learned that there are two variant red backpacks he came with. the "hollowed out" version is the more rare one. i, of course, don't have that one. but i do have his accessory pack weapons. #GIJoe #ActionFigures #VintageToys
