Spotted Online – 1982 G.I. Joe Parts Reuse

If you’ve not read Mark Bellomo’s Ultimate Guide to G.I. Joe 1982-1994* then you’ve been missing out on some fun. The book shows all of the Hasbro G.I. Joe 3.75-inch scale action figures and is completely worth the cost of admission.

But even without the book there’s fun to be had with G.I. Joe. The latest example? Action Figure Insider’s latest post about G.I. Joe and the parts reuse of 1982.
