This is music to my ears… Sideshow Collectibles posted their most recent Q & A, and featured a pair of G.I. Joe oriented questions. I’ve mirrored those questions below:
“I like the drivers in the 3 3/4 G.I. Joe line; are you considering characters like: Wild Weasel, Strato Viper, Heavy Metal, Keel-Haul, Steeler, Thunder, Wild Bill, Motor Viper,etc, etc.?
Can’t wait to hear more about Destro! Great news. Thanks to The Terror Drome for the information!

So, yeah, those 25th Anniversary stands are cool and all, with the names plastered on ’em. But how useful are they really? With that funky tiered shape, and a pretty small area for actual feet to be placed, I’ve had my share of frustration with them. But SmallJoes is to the rescue!
With a couple of decades of experience with figure stands, the SmallJoes guys have engineered a nicely sized, well balanced, and 4-pegged figure stand (in black and clear!) to use with most modern era action figures, including G.I. Joe, Star Wars, Marvel, and others. They were kind enough to send me a nice sampling, and I have reviewed them right here.
Short answer? They’re great. They’re the same size and overall shape as the G.I. Joe ones, yet manage to cram in a lot more flexibility and functionality. Can’t go wrong.
