...And Knowing is Half the Battle

Duke, Cobra Commander

As a kid, my friend was a bigger GI Joe fan than I was, but I enjoyed the show and man, I really enjoyed the toys. One of my favorite things to do with the figures (and I'm sure some of you did this too) was twist them up at the waist so they'd come whirling back around on account of that elastic band thing inside them. So fun :)

Not so optimistic about the movie though :)

Anyway, you'll probably see some more 'Joe' Punx in the future sometime.

nostalgia punx don't rock as much as tv series punx, do, but that is just age talking. when ur young, g.i joe seems kinda "grandy"

I'm a "grandy" at 34 and think the nostalgia punx rock harder. These are my favorite and I can't wait to see more. Yo Joe!

I used to unhook the rubber band and switch their legs around.

No Cobra Commander with the hood? While the helmet is more familiar, the hood is just as memorable for those that followed the cartoon. Otherwise, great work, as always.

Just found your blog-- Excellent job on all your likenesses. I'm sure you've heard this a bunch of times, but this is what Simpsons guest star designs should look like.

Dean said...

Hey, thanks Ricky!

Tommy said...

Dean, I agree with Ricky. And I'm sure you hear this a lot too, but I'll try to contact MG so he can hire you for character designs! Also: I wanna see Obama!

Ah, great to see some GI Joes! I never had a chance to see the show (I'm from Finland), but I sure enjoyed the toys and cartoons!

You will draw Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow, won't you? ;)
