Going Commando

The Story of Snake Eyes: The GI Joe Silent Commando Who Stole the Spotlight! Before he became a pop culture icon, Snake Eyes was just a budget-friendly mystery man in a plain black jumpsuit—no paint, no voice, no face. But what started as a cost-cutting measure quickly became one of the most compelling characters in all of G.I. Joe lore. From his humble 1982 toy debut to his heartbreaking comic arcs, ninja rivalries, and unfortunate movie missteps, this deep dive explores how a faceless, voiceless action figure became the heart and soul of the franchise. Whether you're a toy collector, comic reader, or nostalgic '80s kid, this one's for you.

From Bad To Good

The Story of Storm Shadow: From Cobra Ninja to GI Joe Legend The Story of Storm Shadow is a tale of honor, betrayal, ancient ninja clans, and... flooding? In this video, I dive into the evolution of everyone’s favorite white-clad warrior, from his modest but historic toy debut in 1984 to his rich comic book lore courtesy of Larry Hama’s storytelling mastery. We’re slicing through cartoon battles with Spirit and bald eagles, sneaky comic book reveals, and live-action adaptations—some awesome, some... nanomite Eiffel Tower-level disastrous. Whether you first met him in a toy aisle or on the page of GI Joe #21, there’s no denying that Storm Shadow’s journey from villain to hero is one of the most compelling in the entire Joe universe. Let’s unsheathe this ninja’s complicated legacy—no shuriken to the face, I promise.

Bad Luck Woman

The Story of the Jinx: GI Joe’s Bad Luck Ninja with Blind Bad Ass Moves The story of Jinx is one of bad luck, blindfolded beatdowns, and blazing red ninja fashion. Debuting in 1987 during a golden era of GI Joe, Jinx broke barriers as the line’s first female ninja and instantly left a sharp impression—both on toy shelves and in animated brawls. From her sparring sessions with Beach Head to her tragic fate in the IDW comics, Jinx’s journey spans bo staffs, blind masters, and more costume changes than a fashion show on a stealth mission. Whether she's the cousin of Storm Shadow, the apprentice of Snake Eyes, or an action figure with manicured nails, Jinx is far more than just a streak of bad luck. She’s a fan favorite with a flair for silent takedowns and under-the-radar legacy. Let’s dive into the red-clad saga of GI Joe’s most lethal lady ninja!

GI JOE: THE STORY of NINJA FORCE

The Story of Ninja Force: GI Joe’s Neon Ninja Era of Madness For many GI Joe fans and collectors, the story of Ninja Force is one of color, chaos, and pure 90s toyline absurdity. When Hasbro was desperately throwing everything at the wall to keep G.I. Joe alive, they landed on the hottest late-night rental trend of the time—ninjas. But not just any ninjas—these were fluorescent, spring-loaded, missile-launching martial arts maniacs like T'JBang, Dojo, Nunchuk, and even a tank-driving Storm Shadow. From “real ninja action” like the Samurai Smash to code names that sound like discontinued energy drinks, Ninja Force was Hasbro’s wild attempt to beat those damn Turtles and Power Rangers at their own game. In this deep-ish dive, I take a fresh look (as someone who never owned these as a kid) at the Joe team’s most outrageous sub-line—examining the figures, filecards, and WTF design decisions that made Ninja Force both ridiculous and unforgettable. 🌀 It’s bright. 💥 It’s loud. It’s G.I. Joe... ninja-fied.
