Just so you know there is a stickied Official G.I. Joe thread at the top of the page and anything G.I. Joe related questions should technically go there. I personally don't care myself but a lot of people here get all up in arms about that sort of thing. Just to let you know for future reference. Anyway to answer you question there are 2 types of 12" G.I. Joes. Are you talking about the really expensive ones that go for $100+? If so then I believe they are still being made and if I'm not mistaken the next one to come out will be Destro. If your talking about the cheaper less detailed ones that you can find in stores for about $15, then those are still being made but only for the movie right now. There is also going to be a Crimson Guard coming out but I believe that's only an exclusive, here's a pic:  I hope this is the information you were looking for. |

Im not too up to date with GI Joe stuff but Ive got an old Duke and Cobra 12(maybe taller) inch figure. They look just like Barbie dolls but come fully loaded with some kick ass weapons...I got them probably 10-15 years ago...are they worth anything?

Just a few months ago WalMart had repro of the original 12" Joes and uniform packs like the dolls I grew up with in the 70's for $10 each. There were 3 Joes to choose from (Land, sea, Air) and accessory packs were Marines dress blues, Arctic pack, & frogman mission.

WM had them. They were even packaged like the originals. They did it the year before also. last year I picked up the jungle attired Joe (bearded w/ camo attire) and the Adventure joe (clean shaven in olive green clothes)

These were released in the mid 90s at FAO Schwarz, Target, Wal Mart & K-Mart. I'm not sure how many sets there were.  This is the back .  These are the 5 different ones released exclusively at Wal Mart. From what I've read, they only made 1,970 of each figure.   These are the 4 that were released exclusively through Wal Mart. I believe there were only 1,970 of these as well.   These are the 4 different outfits.   And this is because I am a huge GI Joe uber-nerd:  ya those were the aniversary ones but does antone remember the ones that came out in like 2002 to 2005 like the pearl harbor collection and othe ones when you went into tru they had them hanging from the cellings from paracutes what happened to those |
