P.O.P Parlor

Admiring this figure, 1983 Duke.
New O-Ring after years of being blown apart.

The time has come, I’ve done 3 so far, and the stress has lifted some. Wish me luck!

Happy Friday Everyone, just sharing the newest addition to the Joellection.

1987 Cobra Pogo, I’ve always wanted one. It’s weird, wild and nostalgic. I’m glad to have one. 🫡

Part tank. Part rocket. Part pogo stick. The Cobra P.O.G.O. was designed to leap across the battlefield while delivering machine-gun fire and explosive payloads from its armored cockpit. Featured prominently with Battle Armor Cobra Commander, it’s one of the most unique—and unmistakably Cobra—vehicles ever produced.

Always happy to meet new collectors over in the page, stop in and introduce yourself.

G.I. JOE GIF CHALLENGE

Think of any G.I. Joe or Cobra character.

Now post a GIF that describes them.

Don’t reveal the character.
Don’t give any hints.

Let the community figure it out.

Get creative. Some will be obvious. Others may leave even veteran collectors guessing.

Let’s see who can stump the community and who can identify the most characters correctly.

Knowing is half the battle. Guessing is the other half.

All Hail! KING COBRA!! 🐍

Happy Wednesday, keep pushing! 🫡💪

SLUDGE VIPER
Archive Plus #4

One of Cobra’s nastiest Eco-Warriors.

Armed with a sludge launcher and surrounded by toxic waste, the Sludge Viper wasn’t built for subtlety. If there was a contaminated battlefield, these guys were already standing in it.

This week’s Archive Plus pairs the original Impel card, file card, and vintage figure together in one display.

Did you own a Sludge Viper back in the day, or is this one still missing from your collection?

Knowing is half the battle.

This Week in Mr. Commander’s Neighborhood

Today’s lesson was about sacrifice.

Unfortunately, Snake Eyes was selected as the “visual aid.”

Duke remains confused.
Snake Eyes remains unavailable for comment…. As always, but this time his “sacrifice” paid off!

Tune in next week as Mr. Commander explains:
“Why every mission report is technically a victory.”

Still True at 40…

A good stick never stayed a stick.

It became a sword, a rifle, a spear, a lightsaber, or whatever the mission required.

Some things never change.

How many of us are still picking up sticks to see if they’re “the one”?
