i've been looking online for a picture of snake-eye's face from the comic book when his mask was removed.

Sorry - the only pictures we have are on our web site. No idea where you can find a picture like that. Try some of the other web sites listed at http://www.yojoe.com/links/.

Why is Stormshadow 2000 packing a Cobra Emblem on the figure? The filecard had no new info.

Not really sure why Storm Shadow is a Cobra again - someone at Hasbro decided that he would make a great villain again.

Please give me some updates on G.I.Joe's. And just tell me some stuff.

I noticed that someone asked where to get music from G.I. Joe the Movie. A lot of on-line music sites (like Napster, only better ones) offer the soundtracks/theme songs for free in MP3 format

Thanks! You can find the theme songs, but not the background music without the dialogue and sound effects. That music was never made available to the public.

What ever happened to the next wave of GIJOE Manimals?

Good question - no one has said anything officially about whether or not they've been cancelled. Kay-Bee may have pushed them back their release because of all the stuff they acquired when they took over eToys - but that's just speculation on my part.

I am looking for complete sets from impel and milton bradley cards and stickers

do you sell or know who sell parts for the G.I.Joe figures?

Here're a few tips I can recommend. Try searching Ebay. You can almost always find everything G.I.Joe there.

Next, try the classified ads at the Yo Joe Classifieds at Toy-Ads.com. You can place a wanted ad or browse some of the for sale/trade ads.

I want to know where can i do some purchase for some gi joes in montreal

Sorry, I don't know of any places local to Montreal. Your best bet is to find them online. Try Ebay and the Yo Joe Classifieds at Toy-Ads.com.

Did the "DOC" action figure ever have a backpack?

Doc never came with a backpack. Check the WHOBIT Archive http://www.yojoe.com/action/whobit/ and I'm sure you can identify the source of the backpack there.

I have 2 complete sets of 1991 G.I. Joe cards from Impel, and I was wondering if someone could help me determine their value.

Not a lot, unfortunately. Impel made too many of the cards in 1991, so they're very easy to find. Unopened cases of them go on Ebay for between $5-8 each.

what is up with 2000's edition of firefly and undertow and 2001's Destro and Cobra blast viper? I have looked EVERYWHERE from collectors markets to toys r us and they are nowhere...the only ones I have seen are the pictures on your site. are these two combos just simply unavailable on the west coast or were they concidered a very limited item in stock?

Unfortunately, Firefly/Undertow and Destro/Fast Blast Viper are not currently shipping from Hasbro. They were only available for a few months before they stopped shipping - which is a shame, because they were very very popular with collectors and there weren't enough to go around. They have not been discontinued and there is always a chance that Hasbro will re-release them in the future.

However, until then, your only bet is to find them from toy dealers or from fellow collectors. Try Ebay or the Yo Joe Classifieds at toy-ads.com.

There seems to be some missing figures in the Europian toyline. I was never able to some figures like Torch and Spirit and Chuckles. Do you know why they were left out?

You're correct - some figures like Big Ben and Mutt were never released in Europe. I don't know why, though. On the flip side, there were some great figures that were released in Europe and were never released in the United States (like the European Tiger Force figures).

Here in Ottawa, when are we going to get the later waves? I would order them from the states if only Amazon would ship in Canada. Have you seen or do you know someone who has seen the other waves of the toys?

It's difficult to say, since Hasbro Canada has their own policies about shipping toys in Canada. If I had to guess, I would say that yes, Hasbro Canada plans on getting as many G.I.Joe figures as it can to Canadian toy stores. However, which ones is anyone's guess.

As for the other waves in Canada, no one has reported finding the Wave 4 or higher - but Waves 2 and 3 have been found in Canada. Nearly all in Toys R Us, but some in Walmart. More recently, the G.I.Joe HQ was found in Canadian Toys R Us stores.

i was wondering if you will ever have a whobit for the vehicles.

A great idea, but we don't have pictures of all the vehicle parts yet. At some point in the future, when we do have pictures of all of the vehicle parts, then yes, we'll do a WHOBIT with them.

How would I go about obtaining a 1976 Gi Joe Intruder figure?

Unfortunately, I know next to nothing about the 1970s Joes. Try searching Ebay.com or a great web site - bigredtoybox.com.

I was just wondering if you knew that the paint jobs for Red Ninja and T'gin-zu are different on the back of the box than the figures are. Is this common with gi joes?

Very common. The publicity photographs are often done months in advance, so the figures photographed for the box pictures are usually handpainted prototypes. In recent years, Hasbro has even gone so far as to add the disclaimer that, "pictures on this package may sometimes differ from the model enclosed" and "product and colors may vary".

What happen to Golobulos after the G.I. JOE movie?

Golobulus never appeared in any future G.I.Joe cartoons, comics, toys, etc. The only mention of Golobulus after the G.I.Joe movie was on the 1991 G.I.Joe Impel trading card, where it stated that Golobulus died during an earthquake that buried Cobra-La.
