Two of the most famous G.I. Joe characters - Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes. These two figures were acquired in the 1980s and were found in pieces in a toy box. My brother and I bought some O-rings and put the pieces back together.

The vintage joes that I have. I remember that our joint collection totalled almost 60 joes in the 1980s. About 80% of them were lost when the family moved to another home. So, most of the remaining joes were re-acquired in 2000.

Here's the top view. Lady Jaye, Repeater, Falcon, Hawk, Duke, Footloose, Leatherneck, Muskrat, Flint, Doc, Fast Draw, Lifeline, Roadblock, Lift Ticket, Alpine, Covergirl, Crazylegs, Jinx, Shipwreck, Gung-ho, Low-light, Tunnel Rat, Snake-Eyes, Outback, & Snowjob. (Source: yojoe.com)

The only cobras I have from the vintage line. As you can see, I am not a cobra-person. I prefer the joes but seeing the market prices of the cobras now, I think I made a terrible mistake!

The G.I. Joe Spice Girls. Girl Power! There are only a few female G.I. Joe characters but they are tough to find. And if you do find one in excellent condition, it's too expensive! I think I am still missing 3 to 5 female joes. I'm fine with 1 character/1 figure setup, so I don't really need to buy the variants.

This is the Toyfare exclusive 2-pack of Snake Eyes and Agent Scarlett. I never had a Scarlett so I decided to buy this exclusive pack. This raises the number of my female joes to 6.

This is a mint on card Flint made by Funskool (India), not Hasbro. It is said the the joes made by Funskool is made of lower quality plastics and the paint may vary from the US-released joes. I really don't care much about that, I just want this HUNK in my collection :p

Close up of Flint! Hunky-licious!

This is Covergirl. The driver of the vehicle known as Wolverine. I bought one and the other was given to me. It is said that Covergirl has another version. Mine are the same though.

These are the new joes from the SPYTROOPS line. I decided to get these figures mainly because they became available locally. Secondly, Shipwreck, Beachhead, and Flint looked great in this line.

I have just recently acquired some new waves of Spytroops and the Valor vs. Venom line. I prefer the Valor vs. Venom line because of the new sculpts and the new packaging.

I think that's about it! So, I just leave you with another shot of a fight scene between Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow.
