The 1983 G.I. Joe APC has arrived, and it’s carrying up to 28 G.I. Joe Soldiers!. There are only two more placeholder photos left to replace and this poster is ready to print.

Some of these vehicle boxes can take hours to retouch. Here’s a before and after shot of the 1983 APC. You’ll notice 5 major areas have been retouched, fixing wrinkles and creases, and removing price tags and tape. It’s a labor of love.



With 13 days to go we are less than $1,200 from unlocking the second poster! Please tell your friends about this campaign and share it via social media. With your help we'll close out strong and make 2-3 new posters!

In the midst of working on the third and final poster for the 3DJoes Kickstarter (Carded 3DJoes 1986-87), I stumbled on a really interesting variation of the Zarana card art! Head over to the Zarana page and have a look, and message me if you have any info on how/why the changes were made.

Final designs! So happy to take these to print.



Thank you all for the support!

The Cobra Rattler is an imposing sight! It features twin turbofan engines, 6 bombs, 8 missiles, twin rear 40mm cannons and a "Jawbreaker" nose cannon. Wild Bill never enjoyed having one of these bad boys in his rearview! Be sure to check out the detailed image gallery below the box art.

This may have been asked, but have you looked into a coffee table type book that has all the box cover art?

I would love to have something like that. Could be a landscape design rather than portrait style.

G.I. Joe art of the 80s was the best in the industry. It went well beyond the carded figures, vehicle boxes and catalogs. We have just added the first six "Find Your Fate" books, featuring art by Carl Cassler and Hector Garrido. Be sure to check out the full screen image gallery!

THANK YOU to Page and Greg Wagner for scanning, photoshopping and contributing these images. More to come!

Back in 1987, Hasbro partnered with Nikko to manufacture one item I had wanted since the VAMP was released in 1982: a remote controlled vehicle! Sure the MOBAT was fun, but you couldn't steer it from afar. Enter: the Crossfire! Hasbro made two versions of the Crossfire (Alpha 27 and Delta 49) that utilize unique radio frequencies so they can race each other. Unfortunately, a rival Cobra R/C car was never introduced.

Thanks to the Yo Joe Outlet, ROMA Collectibles and Tim Dz for contributing to this page!

It's statue week at 3DJoes! Every day I will publish a new statue.

Yesterday was The Baroness:
Baroness bust - 3DJOES

Today is Roadblock:
Roadblock bust - 3DJOES

Come back every night for a new statue, including these Palisades busts: Cobra Commander, Firefly, Flint, Snake Eyes and finally the Diamond Snake Eyes Icons bust.

All seven of these statues are from the collection of Justin Marcoux. Give him a shout over on twitter (@YoJoe1982), he loves to talk Joes!

It's speed vs. maneuverability as the Conquest X-30 takes on the Cobra Night Raven S³P!

The Cobra Night Raven is all about one thing, speed! It is capable of flight at 3 times the speed of sound (Mach 3.5 to be precise).

The Conquest X-30's advanced forward-swept wing design enables precise maneuverability. Who will win? My bet is the X-30 if the Night Raven is dumb enough to slow down for a dog fight.

These are the last two 1986 vehicles, so 1986 is finally complete! Be sure to check out the detailed image galleries on both pages.

The "Catalogs and offers" section has been completely upgraded!

Dozens of new catalogs and offers have been added to the 3DJoes print section! We have now documented almost every single catalog and offer from 1982-1994, thanks to a huge loan from Tim Dz. Some of these have never before been documented! Additionally, we revised all of the large pieces adding image galleries that allow you to read every bit of copy and marvel at all of the illustration and photography. Head on over to the catalogs and offers page and get ready for hours of nostalgia!

The Mean Dog has arrived and it's three vehicles in one: a V-8, 440 BHP armed recon vehicle, a mobile missile arsenal with 12 SAM missiles, and a giant standalone canon! Be sure to check out the detailed image gallery below the box art to see all of the play features.

The 1987 Cobra WOLF (Winter Operational Light Fighting Vehicle) is actually quite well armed: featuring four surface-to-air missiles, two ski torpedoes and "Ripper" 20 mm cannons. Plus it can carry up to eight troops into battle!
