Years of accumulated Joe imagery

I had all this on my computer and decided to upload it so people who may have missed these things as they popped up long ago can get a chance to see it all.

If there is anything here that you have rights to and thus want taken down, LMK.

Also, some might like some of the things I've found and Faved on deviantart:

Of everything I have in that top gallery, I still think this is the best picture:

I never fail to get nostalgic when I look at it.

I wish we had gotten this in some form. http://picasaweb.google.com/pettifoggist/OldVehicleConceptPics#5392084466255042194

And that toy aisle from 1984 is ridiculous.

Wow...those Belgian catalog photos are awesome. I love the clearly Vietnam-influenced Tomahawk dio, that sweet picture of some Techno-Vipers laying waste to a lab...they're all cool, really. I also like the two LBC Flagg crewmen: the one that uses the Murdock head is particularly sweet.

Love those preproduction drawings, too. I wish that Air Jeep had been released exactly as depicted.

YAY for accumulation.

I just noticed the names below the pictures in the Belgian catalog. Psyche-Out is "Psycho." Awesome.

Just a random add on here. This artist did paintings of his childhood toys. There's a Serpentor and Blanka in there.

Wow. I can't even imagine seeing a toy aisle anywhere that full. Maybe if Toys R Us condensed to a total of two or three aisles, it'd look like that. I remember seeing KBs look like that when I was little.

Also, did the Wolf and Stellar Stiletto really come in the same sizes boxes? That seems unnecessary.

For some reason Picasa doesn't let me see anything. :-|

The height and width of the front face was the same, but the depth of the boxes differed...the Wolf box was "deeper", and the Stiletto box was the "standard" depth for that size vehicle.

Thanks for posting the pics beav. Will have to wait a few days to see most of them...work doesn't like the link. :-/

Any chance Scrap Iron's second JC dio-story is in there somewhere?
