These GI Joe Wishbook spreads are some of my earliest memories, my mother even tells me that an overnight hospital stay once was made much traumatic by handing me a Christmas wishbook that was in her car.


No wonder that I smile every time I see one of these double-page spreads...

When toys didn't require movie or comic book tie-ins. Just imagination.

My mother used to make me rank the GI Joe stuff what I wanted in the Century Catalog Store Christmas book. It was torture, and I clearly remember re-ranking and crossing out things a dozen times a year.

I've got most of those except from Desert Patrol Adventure and Shark's Surprise.

I wasn't interested in Joe when I was a kid, but I adore the line now. I particularly like that top JCPenney's page, it "has it all."

Some of my favorite toys, I started getting mine in 74 when the KFG was introduced. I played with them well after star wars had taken over the shelves.
