The 1990 photos are posted. I've got carded figure art and file card close-ups posted. I hope to start dropping in 3D photos for these next weekend. I've been hella busy with the "3DJoes of the 80s" poster (that went to production this Friday!) and moving to a new house. Any way, have a look here for the latest 3DJoes.com content!

My laptop is officially pimped out for JoeCon. Hope to see you all there!

The 1990 carded figures and drivers are live!

All 18 carded figures from the main line and all 6 drivers are posted, many with multiple 3D photos! From Ambush to Undertow, they're all there. I didn't remember how amazing all of the accessories were from this year. I was starting to age out in 1990, so maybe I didn't pay them enough attention back then. I was 11 years old and comics had taken over as my top hobby.

Now that I've taken another good look at them, I have to say that 1990 is one of my favorite years. I'd put the 1990 accessories against any other year for the "best of the A Real American Hero line" award. From Ambush's tent, to Pathfinder's weed-eater, to Stretcher's sled, to Rock Viper's grappling hook backpack, to Undertow's harpoon and barracuda... these accessories were just plain fun! I had a blast breaking 'em all out again.

Check 'em out!

You and me both. I'm a huge fan of the 1990 series as a whole: there were some great figures, some really great accessories (Bullhorn's backpack is easily one of the best 1:18 accessories ever made in any line), and my favorite sub-team (Sky Patrol, the only sub-team I ever liked). I'm glad to see these guys getting the 3DJoe treatment.

Haven't had a chance to peruse the site since you first started, everything is looking great. I especially love the full team turnarounds you did with Night Force, those are very cool. Completely forgot to buy a poster at the Con, I'll have to put in an order sometime soon.

Yeah, sky patrol are awesome. Aren't they the only sub-set that didn't rely heavily on repainted figures?

Thanks! I do like the team shots. It works really well with the small teams, like "special missions: brazil"

I'll have a sky patrol one up this weekend!

No. Every figure was a repainted driver figure from previous years with a new head.
Skydive = Gyro Viper
Airborne = Lift-Ticket
Airwave = Motor Viper
Altitude = Slipstream
Drop Zone = Strato Viper
Static Line = Backstop

Ah, only new heads then. Amazing the difference a new head sculpt makes. Ask big LOB!

Need some neon? The 1991 carded figures and file cards are up. 3D photos are still to come, but go ahead and browse 1991 in all its neon glory!

12 new figures have landed, all with multiple 3D photos! The Sky Patrol figures featured all new head sculpts on some repainted classic drivers and pilots. Check them out and see if you can identify the body. Then scroll down to the group photo for the answer. These figures don't feel like plain old repaints. Their awesome helmets (many with moving visors), cool weapons, and silver parachutes made them an interesting and play-worthy new Joe unit.

The Sonic Fighters were pure repaints of their earlier incarnations, but they came with loads of weapons and of course the infamous [gigantic] sonic backpacks. Believe it or not, after 23 years, three of the six backpacks are still functional! Check out the pages for Dial-Tone, Law, and Tunnel Rat to hear the magic of 1990 toy technology.

SONIC FIGHTERS!! sweet

All 17 carded figures from the main line are posted, many with multiple 3D photos! From Big Ben to Tracker, they're all there. I had completely aged out by 1991 (comics had taken over as my top hobby), so many of these figures were brand new to me only five years ago when I resumed collecting ARAH. Now that I've gotten to know them, I have to say that there are some really cool figures here.

There are some nice re-makes of old favorites (Dusty, Low-Light, Sci-Fi, and Snow Serpent), and then there are some more questionable re-makes (General Hawk in a jet pack, Snake Eyes in blue and orange, and a very angry Grunt in some tight mustard-colored pants).

1991 introduced some new allies (from the Marvel comic book): Big Ben (the SAS trooper) and Red Star (the Oktober Guard officer). We also were introduced to some new Joes (Heavy Duty and Tracker) and some new Cobras (Desert Scorpion and Crimson Guard Immortal).

I had a blast breaking 'em all out and making some new friends. I hope you enjoy them too.

Eco-Warriors and Super Sonic Fighters are coming soon.

http://www.3djoes.com/1991-overview.html

6 Eco-Warriors (with color-change battle damage and water-shooting weapons), 6 Super Sonic Fighters (with electronic lights and battle sounds), 4 Air Commandos (with gliders that can fly up to 40 feet), 2 Battle Copter pilots (with high altitude one man helicopters), and the mail order Lifeline are all live! Will Road Pig know what to do with an electronic backpack? Who is the first G.I. Joe to wield a boomerang? Can Psyche-Out possibly carry all of that equipment? Find out the answers to this and more on the 1991 overview page!
