Cool and Collected

Collecting pop culture toys, comics, and collectibles collections

April 12, 2012 By 6 Comments

From the Collection: G.I. Joe Jigsaw puzzle

If you ask me, the heydey for G.I. Joe was the years that spanned from 1982 to 1985. You can’t beat the artwork that was produced back then, and this puzzle is a great example…

I collect vintage pop culture puzzles and board games because i just love the artwork on them. They make great display pieces or backdrops for a collection on the shelf.

    That’s a great idea, I have a few vintage board games but I never thought about puzzles! I bet they’re pretty cheap to pick up too. I’ll have to dig around and find a TMNT puzzle sometime.

      They are cheap–usually in the ten dollar range. And, as an added bonus, they’re fun to put together!

    Nice to see how much love Grunt got in the early days of GI Joe RAH.

      I’m in the minority, I know, but I’d take these classic characters over the modern ones any day.

    Man, that is some fantastic art on there as well! I’m not a huge fan of the joes but, I do love that era of GI Joe, This is very reminiscent of the comic art of the time as well!
