I’m excited ^^ … The Hollywood version of G.I. Joe is going to be released in cinemas worldwide very soon! If you are a guy, you have probably heard of G.I. Joe or maybe even own a G.I Joe figurine like I used to. To the girls reading this, think macho version of your Barbie dolls heh.When I was a kid, I used to buy G.I Joe figurines and play them with my neighbours and cousins, sometimes together with my ninja turtle and transformer toys. Too bad my mum either threw or gave away all my old toys, or else I would be able to take pictures of some of these plastic heroes. If you are much younger than me and maybe play Ben Ten or Avatar toys instead let me show you a wonderful commercial in the 1990s of some of the G.I Joe toys.
I miss those days …
There was also the G.I Joe cartoon which I liked and watched every week. I think I bought the G.I Joe animate movie VHS tape (do you know what this is? lol) too! Though I have forgotten much of the plot now, there are 3 things I remember: Yo Joe! Cobra la la la la la and my favourite character Snake Eyes. That is why I put him in the post header pic heh.
Got to get though, Yo Joe!! I love most of the old cartoons and I’m glad they are making their way to the big screen.
So what’s this new G.I Joe movie about …
