It also has several shelves with different dio's as well as a backlot for temporary dio comic sets. I love GI Joe and also collect any 1/18 and 3 3/4 figures that will work with my Joeverse! I also have over a hundred 1/18 cars nearly 300 1/18 motorcycles and over 30 treehouse kids trucks! as for figures Ive lost count! The room has departments (boxes) of interchangeable props and set pieces. To all Welcome to Joedios! I love this site and I know you will too! look forward to seeing your stuff!

I took Lonzo's name because he's my favorite Joe, the heart of the Marvel continuity, and nobody else wanted to be called (a) Stalker. He was also my first Joe along with straight-arm SnakeEyes, Scarlett and Flash.

I gave all my toys away around 1993, frustrated by the changes in the line. There were a lot of things (characters / vehicles) I wanted to add to my collection that I had missed out on in previous years, but rather than rerelease them, Hasbro always seemed to Neonize them, Pythonize them or Tigerize them. (Or Mauraderize).

I got back in at the end of 2005 when I found out about the comic packs and finally could get my original 13 Joes with red collars. Also the TRU trooper six-pack (the first thing I got when I got back into collecting) was awesome and is probably still the best O-ring army builder of all time (give or take some issues like glued torsos).

GeneralsJoes, ViolentFix, Outrider and others inspired me to do dio-stories and photos. My efforts never lived up to my vision, but I am finally getting to the point where I am taking the pictures I want to take and I hope to revive my "Dio-verse" where it left off.

I have a website for these stories (cobracy.com -- an anagram of my name). I recently put my first and second comics back up. Take a look if you haven't seen them. I try to make them replete with "Easter Eggs." I hope to get more stories up by the end of the year.

Make mine G.I. Joe!!!

I was born and raised and have lived all my life here in Holland. Lovely little place and i would not change it for the world. Presently living in a tiny house, single and out of work for more then two years. Not that i have been sitting around doing nothing. On the contrary, i have been more busy then when i was working. Go figure!

Visualising my fantasy and making them come to life has been with me since childhood and after a period of not doing anything with it, it's back. In force. And that is also the reason for venturing into the world of the Joes. Not so much for collecting as well for, finally after many years, having found the perfect vehicle to play out all of those stories that, like videoclips, are running in my head.

Of course there's lots more to tell. So questions are cordially invited and will be answered in a likewise manner. Take care, be well. Recon14
