The other day I found a "JAWS" video from when I was a kid that we did in the bathtub where the Joes are fighting Jaws and the he attacks the WHALE knocking some of the Joes into the water and then proceedes to devour them in mighty gore (with the help of red food coloring and ketchup). It's pretty bad but its fun to watch.

I also found two "episodes" of American Heroes that my buddy and I did where the Joes launch bombing raids from the Flagg on an enemy aircraft carrier (which is the same Flagg) and also on an enemy base in the sandbox (destroying the MOBAT, HAMMER and Sky Havoc). I found it funny that JOE/Cobra didn't matter much to us back then as the Hurricaine is a Joe plane and the hot shot pilot of the show is Annihilator. I always thought he was bad-ass.

It's pretty fun to watch them, kind of like time-warping back to the eighties.

Anybody else make Joe videos as a kid?

I just got them converted to DVD recently and am going to try to get some of them on youtube soon. They're really not that entertaining, just a few kids screwing around with Joes and a video camera, but I guess they have a certain charm to them.

I didn't do dios but I have dozens of really crude stop motions that I made when I was a kid. Do you have any of the pics from back in the day?

I'll have to see if my parents have any of them. I haven't seen them in years.

I was poor as a kid. My parents didn't own a camcorder until 1992!
