1988 Stormshadow - Around The Web

 In 1988, Hasbro updated one of their most iconic characters.  Stormshadow was now a Joe instead of a Cobra.  The new look for Stormshadow was a huge hit.  33 years later, collectors still love the 1988 mold.  It was another perfect example of Hasbro really nailing a character update.  Because of this, there's a lot of 1988 Stormshadow content out there.  The figure is extremely photogenic and remains a collector favorite.  I don't use this figure enough and really need to work him into more photos.  But, for now, enjoy the 1988 Stormshadow's best content from around the web.

  1. Can't wait to jump into this pool, write something about Storm Shadow v2 that hasn't been said! Um, no, he seems to be covered.

  2. You've been writing this G.I. Joe blog for 20 years and are still spelling "Storm Shadow" incorrectly? 😃

    1. It still doesn't look right to me as 2 words. Like his first name is Storm and last is Shadow. Your table is ready, Mr. Shadow. But, yeah, I stick to my guns on some things out of sheer stubbornness.

    2. So, would you also write "Bigboa," "Crocmaster," or "Cobracommander"?

    3. I've been obsessed with Snake-Eyes for 35 years and still I'm not sure if it's actually Snake Eyes with no hyphen.

      OK, so I just looked it up...it has the hyphen on the 1985 card, but not the others. Weird.

    4. Hasbro had issues with consistency. Take a look at the many spellings of Gung-Ho's file name.

    5. @Josh Z Touche. :)

      I'm never one to really stand on consistency. It is weird that I've been spelling it incorrectly for so long that the correct spelling looks wrong to me. But, I still have Bazooka hold his weapon backwards and have a weird way of placing Buzzer's chain saw. Sometimes, you can't teach an old dog new tricks!

    6. Honestly that just sounds like something Bazooka would do.
