The 1994 card art, packaging and file cards are live!

I have posted carded figure photos, file cards, detail shots and more! All 14 Battle Corps figures, six Shadow Ninjas (now with secret "Inviso-Power!" and still featuring spring-action, martial arts moves), 16 Star Brigade figures (including new wacky "Lunartix Empire" aliens), seven 30th anniversary "Action" figures, the mail order "G.I. Joe" and the very first Joe Con exclusive (the ever elusive Fighter Pilot) are all covered. 1994 was the last year for the "A Real American Hero" line, but they went out with a bang, releasing 45 new figures.

3D photos are coming soon for all of these figures. Until then, check out the great packaging, card art and file cards!

Yeah, if I were him I'd place the barrel of my gun through the curve in the shield, to create more cover with the shield. That's not exactly how they illustrated it on the card art, but it's how I like to pose em.

The second and final "A Real American Hero" figure poster is coming. It will feature every figure from 1990-1994. That's a whopping 241 figures on one 24"x36" poster! The two posters side by side will feature every figure ever released from the G.I. Joe A Real American Hero line (which lasted from 1982-1994).

Here's a very early preliminary design, showing the 1990-1993 figures. There is still a lot of Photoshop work to do here! All of the backgrounds will be blown out to white and all of the stands will be removed. Stay tuned to this page to track my progress!

New video section!

Post by Carson »

I'm building a video section, starting with the 1982 + 1983 commercials, complete with commentary. Let me know your thoughts!

Also, if you've seen 1982 or 1983 commercials I haven't posted, send me links to those and I'll add 'em.

I'm having an issue keeping both the gun and the shield in his hand. The thumbs don’t look bent so I'm not sure what I did wrong. Overall i think the handle on the shield was poorly designed.

Agreed! I always wanted the handle to be vertical, not horizontal.

He's an extremely rare figure. I believe only 600 were made! He sells for $200+ with all accessories and the box.

The Shadow Ninjas have infiltrated 3DJoes!

Post by Carson »

Shadow Ninjas are made of a translucent plastic, and their accessories are also translucent. According to the packaging, they wore color-change body armor that gave them a secret "inviso-power!"

All six 1994 Shadow Ninjas featured a spring-action, martial arts move. Head over to the 1994 overview to check them out!

The 1994 Battle Corps figures are posted!

Post by Carson »

Hasbro released 14 carded Battle Corps figures and one final Battle Corps driver in 1994. These figures were produced in both China and Indonesia, which resulted in several paint app variants. To compound matters further, Hasbro also changed the card art on some figures from the older horizontal logo (with a red or blue laser backdrop) to a new vertical logo (with a red or blue to black gradient background). There are thirty+ known 1994 Battle Force variants featuring various packaging and paint app combinations. We've been hard at work documenting them all! This was a TON of work, so I hope you have a great time looking back on these.


The 1994 Battle Corps introduced only one new Joe, Ice Cream Soldier. Many old Joes were given a redesign, like Dial-Tone, Flint, Lifeline, Shipwreck (a new personal favorite) and Stalker. Several Cobras enjoyed a redesign, including Major Bludd, Metal-Head and the Vipers. All in all, it was another colorful year revisiting many of my old favorites. I still could have done without all of the neon, but hey, it was the 90s, so I can't blame Hasbro entirely.


Check them out over on the 1994 figure overview!

The 1994 Star Brigade figures are posted!

Hasbro released 14 carded Star Brigade figures and two final Star Brigade drivers in 1994. These figures are fun as all get out, if you can check your preconceptions of what G.I. Joe should be at the door. The Star Brigade subset introduced three aliens from the Lunartix Empire: Carcass the alien destroyer, Lobotomaxx the stellar explorer, and Predacon the alien bounty hunter. All three had unique features like bendable arms, a bendable tail and neck, and a four arm torso. They really pushed the limits of toy design with these figures.

The 1994 Star Brigade introduced several new characters: Cobra Blackstar, Effects, Gears and Space Shot. Many classic figures were given a space-ready redesign, like Cobra Commander, Duke, Roadblock, and Sci-Fi.

Several of the 1994 Star Brigade figures came with unique action pack like accessories. Cobra Commander's "Cobra Space Crawler" was a climbing harness attached to a suction cup wheel, which enabled him to travel along the underbelly of smooth surfaces. Fun stuff!

Check them all out over on the 1994 figure overview!

We did it! Every single A Real American Hero figure now post

Post by Carson »

3DJoes.com was born back on August 24th, 2012. It only took us 16 months to document every figure released from the monumental "G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero" collection. This has been a tremendous journey and we could not have done it without contributions and support from many of you. So, to everyone that helped get the word out, contributed pieces from their collection, donated photos, spent time slaving away at the light box, gave emotional support, and especially those that have bought posters to help offset the costs of maintaining 3DJoes.... THANK YOU!

Today we roll out the last of the 1994 figures: the 30th Anniversary figures. These beautiful figures took us back to the basics, and after a few brightly colored years with mostly outlandish concepts it was a much appreciated return to the military roots of G.I. Joe. They first released the Action Marine, Pilot, Sailor, and Soldier individually, and then they later released a boxed set including those four (with some tweaks) and a new Action Pilot Astronaut with a space capsule! What a fun end to the A Real American Hero run, and how appropriate to look back at where G.I. Joe began and pay tribute. Check them out over on the 1994 figure overview!

P.S. Don't worry, 3DJoes isn't done yet. Next we will document the large 1982-1986 vehicles and then we're moving on to 87-94. Yo Joe!
