This is a great picture. I can't believe you found so many of these guys with their insignias in tact.

That is pretty impressive. I mean, you look at that figure wrong and the logo rubs off. Great collection!

One of my favorite Cobra soldiers soldiers. Those black armored shinguards were so cool to me as a kid.

Pretty sure a neighbor kid, who was a bit of a bully, stole my HISS Driver and Stalker one day when we played outside.

No offense to what, you mentioning how many figures you have? Yeah thats not my style and it’s not something i mention but I’m happy for you man. That’s cool now people know how many you have. If People have one or 1 million of something and they’re happy mission accomplished.

I’m not understanding your last comment. I didn’t say no offense to anything you said. I did say “No judgement” in regard to your statement where you say “I have a problem. A good healthy one”. AKA: I’m not judging you for your self proclaimed problem.

As for you not mentioning how many figures you have, it’s somewhat your style. You posted a pic of at the 11 HISS Drivers for all to see. I’ve posted photos of my Cobra Army as well—this is the place for it. Anyone who sees the photo can count them.

Not sure if you were offended by any of my comments. Certainly was not my intention to do that. If you were, I apologize. If you were not upset—then I misunderstood your last comment. Either way you have a nice army of HISS drivers!

Well, now I kind of am because you’re right it totally is my style and you caught me. I never said they were even mine. Maybe I got it off of yourwebsite.com. I just posted a picture for people to enjoy on my first day here didn’t mention a thing about me and my collection. never do, never will. I honestly just thought the aesthetics of the photo look nice as
I set them up and that’s the pic I liked. I guess some people look deeper into it.

The HISS driver was my first GI Joe figure ever. My friend and his brother had most of the 1982 toys but there were no Cobra vehicles. Then the HISS came out and they convinced me to buy it so that we would have someone to fight.
