Transformers Vs. GI JOE Comics!

Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 +0000

Click on the images to see actual size.

There are two different companies which have the rights to produce transformers vs. g.i. joe comics. The pics above are from Devil’s Due comics- http://devilsdue.net/index.html. The other is from Dream Wave. I like Devils Due’s comic much better since it is much more vibrant and colorful. Dream Waves is way to dark looking. Hasbro is the creator and owner of both G.I. JOE and transformers…. this idea is an ingenious one.. I would like to see a toyset where GI JOEs can sit inside Transforrmers… now that would be hot.

While I was doing Eid Shopping with my Mom in Ramadan. I was looking through the toy section at Target when I layed my eyes on this:

It was only $7, I couldnt resist…

Once I got these guys home we got to work… the result was…

Also this motivated me to put this together:

these are ALL of the wrestling toys I have ever owned, and yes I had the ring too :)… These are the last toys I played with until I gave them up when I got to Junior High School… until of course this eid when I purchased Duke and the new Cobra Commander
