One of my all time favorite Joe memories, meeting Larry Hama and Herb Trimpe at VA Comicon!


​Welcome!

Hello, and thank you for visiting 3DJoes.com! Since you are here, you must be a die-hard Joe fan, just like me. I've met a lot of great people in this hobby over the years, and I look forward to meeting more of you. I frequent G.I.Joe conventions every year, so come meet me there! 

A little background on me: I started collecting GI Joes back in 1985. I was only six, but the OCD was already in full force. Soon, I had a short list of Joes I was missing, four boxes full of figures, a box full of filecards and a long box full of Marvel's Joe comics (by Larry Hama).

My collection checklist, dating back to 1989!

I stopped collecting Joes in 1990 (I was 11 after all), and for a little under 20 years they went into storage while I got heavily into comic books, chased girls, went off to college, and started a career in video and animation.

My prized G.I. Joe piece, a custom 110 figure case holding my 1983-1987 figures, most collected during childhood.

​Then, in 2008 I stumbled upon some 25th Anniversary Joes at Target, and my passion for G.I. Joes was rekindled. I dug my old Joes out, dusted them off and my collecting continued. I decided to find every loose figure from 1982-1994 and every loose vehicle from 1982-1994. 

I also stumbled upon a couple of the original Joes still MOC (mint on card) at the flea market. Alas, a new collection of 1982-1994 MOC Joes was born. It was an expensive venture but it was a ton of fun. 

All of this collecting really helped bring 3DJoes to life. If you haven't checked out The G.I. Joe Yearbook for figures and for vehicles, please do! They feature every carded figure, vehicle and playset from 1982-1994 organized chronologically and serve as visual navigation pages. Simply click the carded figure or boxed vehicle to go to that product page!

​To pay for this site, we created several posters and books. We developed the six volume "Collecting the Art of G.I.JOE: A Real American Hero" softcover series from 2015-2018. Those sold out by 2019. We immediately began work on The Art of G.I.JOE: A Real American Hero Omnibus Hardcover, which was a massive success on Kickstarter and earned us the official Hasbro license and blessing. There are less than 10% of these books left, so visit TheArtOfGIJOE.com to secure your copy before they sell through! 

If you've already fully explored this site, then please head on over to The 3DJoes Facebook Page and give me your feedback on the site. Let me know what you'd like to see next! How can I improve the experience? Also, be sure to follow @3DJoes on twitter or 3DJoes on Instagram for updates as new content is posted!

Yo Joe!
