This is a very random bunch of thoughts based from my collecting of GIJOE: A real American hero figures and vehicles. Contained here are memories, experiences, recent thoughts, completely random thoughts, and other random things on top of that. While one company has made, and makes, our shared interests, we all add into that interest with our own creativity. You, the reader, will find many, many, excellent sites among the links to see what other GIJoe fans are doing, hit them up! For GIJOE stuff that is more random in topic, you'll find it here.

More Iron Grenadiers

Nothing new or exotic, but I was able to get more Iron Grenadiers recently.  I've talked about my appreciation of the Iron Grenadiers before.   Things that have changed with my Iron Grenadiers are, like Cobra here at the HQ, is that the force is very simplified.   (But this is something that has been like this since 2012 already!)



 


 The previous 1988 versions in my collection, two of which I bought off the retail pegs back in the day.



  Add in 8 new-to-me Iron Grenadiers.



 Gets a nice lineup of an Iron Grenadier army that is a fairly long time in the making.  And if you scan the wings of this picture, one can see that all eight of the new-to-me figures are a lot shinier than all that I had before.

Let's put Destro back in the picture.



I am still a fan of the uzi-like gun, but the red pistol..., you know, even back in the day it wasn't used that often that I can remember.
