Catching up with COBRA

Posted on by

Howdy fellow Joes!!

Wow, what a weekend!! The GIJCC International Convention was a success and everyone had a blast!

In light of IDW’s issue #155 1/2 (and the continuation of the Marvel run), the upcoming PoC line, the announcement of a new ‘toon and the fact that ‘G.I. Joe 2’ is going to start production soon, board member ‘M6D’ has worked his magic with the help of our friends over at YoJoe.com to gather a running history of COBRA from the end of the Marvel run.

Catching up with COBRA is a pdf styled briefing report that will get you all geared up for what’s to come from our favorite ‘Real American Heroes’ and their ‘Ruthless Terrorist Organization’ counterparts-with this focus clearly on Cobra Commander and his cronies!!

So pop open a bottle of grape soda, tear into that box of chocolate donuts and start scrolling through!!

COBRAAAAAAAA!!!

The Joe Declassified Project returns to the 2010 G.I. Joe Collector’s Convention

Posted on by

The Joe Declassified Project will return to the G.I. Joe Collector’s Convention this year, and arriving back with a bang. For those that were able to visit us last year, you were privy to see some of the coolest and most revealing Joe items of your collecting career. This year, we plan to return with more of the same, as well as another issue of our free newsletter! This one will is in full color, and it comes in at almost 30 pages of Joe material, including a huge behind the scenes peek at the making of the G.I. Joe movie by one of the Rise of Cobra’s Production Assistants, Josh Eggebeen. If you love this hobby like we do, then come on by our booth!

The Joe Declassified Mission Statement:

We feel that it is high time that we, the fans of G.I. Joe, take up the responsibility of ensuring the growth of our hobby – both in wealth of knowledge, and broadening the fan base to welcome everyone into the overarching community. As collectors, we have all spoken of, or heard others speak of things they wish to see in the community; secrets to be revealed, collecting tools made available, and so forth. We aim to go out of our way to ensure these voices are heard, and these desires become reality. We wish to work with other existing groups that are fan owned, operated and oriented, and seek to put aside those here solely to profit at the collectors expense; those who hold no love for our hobby.

We are putting our money where our mouth is. None of our endeavors will be for profit. A stronger, collaborative community is reward enough. Our newsletter was, and will continue to be, free to the collector. Our website aims to aid fellow collectors in every way possible, while stripping away old trappings that have discouraged us all in the past. With you, we will forge a stronger and united community based on sharing, inclusion and assistance. Now is the time for us to all come together and lead G.I. Joe back to being the number one toy brand is has been various times in the past. With you, we can make this happen. The future is yours.

Thank you for making this hobby better,

Sam “Nomad” Damon
