Welcome to the G.I.Joe Newsletters page!
The "Mobile Strike Force Team" and "Command Post" Newsletters are complete! Written by Kirk Bozigian from 1982-1984, these newsletters are THE voice of G.I.Joe. They are chock full of patriotism, valor, and good old-fashioned "diabolical marketing." They are also filled with physical fitness and anti smoking messages, great stuff for kids to hear from a brand they idolized. Comb through them carefully and you'll find tons of prototype toys and some pre-production artwork! A HUGE thank you to Page and Greg Wagner and to Brian Kossin for sharing their collections with all of us.
