JAD Needs Your Help

Hey, it’s Rob from Joe A Day, the daily GI Joe blog that ran from 2011 to 2019. The site hosting is due on April 22, and before the site goes dark, I thought I’d throw out a Lifeline to the community. I’m not normally one to do these things, but the hosting costs just won’t fit in the budget

Cobra Eels (1985)

By KansasBrawler Ever since I rediscovered the Joe brand in high school during the relaunch era, I’ve been strangely fascinated with a few vintage figures I didn’t have as a kid.
