It's a 5' 11" tall, fully articulated Stormtrooper.<br /><br />It's a full set of custom fiberglass armor, real leather boots, a leather holster and rubber gloves all set up on a mannequin which consists of a wire frame armature covered in foam. The blaster is a highly modified toy blaster from the 80's. "Stormy" now stands guard over my TV room.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_94ULv6tozMc/RfXAPnmhyYI/AAAAAAAAAIk/F_aSmQ0U2gM/s1600-h/stormy_1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5041146732472289666" style="WIDTH: 59px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 136px" height="138" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_94ULv6tozMc/RfXAPnmhyYI/AAAAAAAAAIk/F_aSmQ0U2gM/s320/stormy_1.jpg" width="59" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_94ULv6tozMc/RfW_3nmhyWI/AAAAAAAAAIU/gDvyOhnIykE/s1600-h/tv_room.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5041146320155429218" style="WIDTH: 163px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 137px" height="157" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_94ULv6tozMc/RfW_3nmhyWI/AAAAAAAAAIU/gDvyOhnIykE/s320/tv_room.jpg" width="174" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_94ULv6tozMc/RfXAHXmhyXI/AAAAAAAAAIc/6ZVjxOkqKgo/s1600-h/tv_room_2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5041146590738368882" style="CURSOR: hand" height="137" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_94ULv6tozMc/RfXAHXmhyXI/AAAAAAAAAIc/6ZVjxOkqKgo/s320/tv_room_2.jpg" width="171" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3881287257715983735-461117113981344167?l=ligijoe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>About the Long Island Divisionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11252265612891450093noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881287257715983735.post-25290583708682158342007-03-07T10:55:00.000-05:002007-03-07T10:57:02.435-05:00Be there.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 16 years since the Target Exclusive Duke figure was released, ushering in the return of the 12 inch tall GI Joe was released.<br /><br />It’s amazing how far our hobby has come since then. The mid 90’s were the glory days, no matter what you were into it could be found with a quick trip to the store or with a few clicks of the mouse. To think how far we have come, only to return to a time and a place where 12 inch GI Joes are a thing of the past...to quote Jerry Garcia “What a long strange trip it’s been”. The good news is that the ride is not over yet, so anything is possible.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_94ULv6tozMc/ReiH_vxv6NI/AAAAAAAAAII/o6Hut4LNt9U/s1600-h/hof_fun.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5037425712440535250" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_94ULv6tozMc/ReiH_vxv6NI/AAAAAAAAAII/o6Hut4LNt9U/s320/hof_fun.jpg" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3881287257715983735-3117071587398398463?l=ligijoe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>About the Long Island Divisionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11252265612891450093noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881287257715983735.post-46708833084352916462007-02-26T11:15:00.000-05:002007-02-26T11:16:19.037-05:00Title says it all.

When you put the end caps together, they make a wooden looking storage crate. For fans of the vintage AT line, these crates may be the best thing about the new sets! <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5031063373715728690" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 46px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 166px" height="224" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_94ULv6tozMc/RdHte5DN6TI/AAAAAAAAAFY/Qgo_EUAAgYg/s320/now_with_flag.jpg" width="65" border="0" /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_94ULv6tozMc/RdIVppDN6fI/AAAAAAAAAHw/mjmyK1z6yMs/s1600-h/croc.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5031107538864433650" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" height="166" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_94ULv6tozMc/RdIVppDN6fI/AAAAAAAAAHw/mjmyK1z6yMs/s320/croc.jpg" width="127" border="0" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_94ULv6tozMc/RdIUT5DN6aI/AAAAAAAAAG4/YNb3CcQVHNk/s1600-h/snake_set.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5031106065690651042" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" height="169" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_94ULv6tozMc/RdIUT5DN6aI/AAAAAAAAAG4/YNb3CcQVHNk/s320/snake_set.jpg" width="188" border="0" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_94ULv6tozMc/RdIUk5DN6bI/AAAAAAAAAHA/usS1FokYKzs/s1600-h/case_close.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5031106357748427186" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" height="165" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_94ULv6tozMc/RdIUk5DN6bI/AAAAAAAAAHA/usS1FokYKzs/s320/case_close.jpg" width="201" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3881287257715983735-6525185224854637578?l=ligijoe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>About the Long Island Divisionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11252265612891450093noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881287257715983735.post-10022181444963420062007-02-06T10:23:00.000-05:002007-02-06T12:19:32.078-05:00<div align="justify"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_94ULv6tozMc/RcisukWj-jI/AAAAAAAAAEM/fuNlcmNEeNE/s1600-h/the+gang.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5028458899991427634" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 230px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" height="148" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_94ULv6tozMc/RcisukWj-jI/AAAAAAAAAEM/fuNlcmNEeNE/s320/the+gang.jpg" width="236" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">On November 11, 2006 some of the members of our club were invited to help celebrate the marriage of the founding member of the Long Island Division, Tommy Rustmann to his lovely bride Diana. Not only were there a number of GI Joe collectors in attendance, a few GI Joe’s decided to join the festivities as well. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_94ULv6tozMc/Rci3YUWj-lI/AAAAAAAAAE0/00q-_Tp-qS8/s1600-h/radioman.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5028470612367243858" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 231px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 167px" height="201" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_94ULv6tozMc/Rci3YUWj-lI/AAAAAAAAAE0/00q-_Tp-qS8/s320/radioman.jpg" width="302" border="0" /></a>Two GI Joe's showed up at the church to make sure that the ceremony went smoothly and to “take care” of anyone who tried to speak when the minister asked if there was anyone who though that the couple should not be joined in holy matrimony. Thankfully, Joes' presence prevented any shenanigans and the ceremony went off without a hitch. </span><br /><br /><br /></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_94ULv6tozMc/RcisfUWj-iI/AAAAAAAAAEE/jl40fxU3gzE/s1600-h/DSC01217.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5028458637998422562" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 229px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 161px" height="184" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_94ULv6tozMc/RcisfUWj-iI/AAAAAAAAAEE/jl40fxU3gzE/s320/DSC01217.JPG" width="253" border="0" /></a>Next it was on to the reception where a few members of the Adventure Team arrived in a freshly detailed MSV to celebrate with the happy couple and their guests. They used all 21 points of thier articulation to partying like it was 1970 again and they had just captured the Pygmy Gorilla. After a few rounds of shots and one-too-many trips to the chocolate fountain, the Joes’ (and the guests) were ready for a well deserved rest.</span></div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">All of us at the Long Island Division want to wish Tommy and Diana all the best as they embark on their first of many great adventures together - marriage!</span><br /><br /></div><p></p><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3881287257715983735-1002218144496342006?l=ligijoe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>About the Long Island Divisionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11252265612891450093noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881287257715983735.post-59414706345074670182007-02-05T16:17:00.000-05:002007-02-06T11:31:06.152-05:00<span style="font-family:arial;">Our next meeting will be held on February 15th at 8:00 pm at Tom’s House.
