Pick Your Joes: WIN New G.I. Joe Book

A decade of Duke and company, comprehensively chronicled.

You think you know G.I. Joe? Listen up: any '80s fanboy or fangirl worth their salt could tell us that Duke was originally supposed to die in the animated movie. There's more to Hasbro's Real American Heroes than that, especially when you get into the weird 1997-2007 era. It's all in the new full-color guidebook R.A.H.C.: A Guide To Second Generation O-Ring G.I. Joe Action Figures, compiled by James M. Kavanaugh Jr. Enter to win a copy of this G.I. tome from us right now (contest ends May 10th) and get an extra entry on Facebook and Twitter.

This era in Joe's history was full of toy trivia; find answers to deep questions like: what was the deal with the Manimals, whose chests opened up into giant monster mouths? Why do some Joes have forearms that appear to be made of Lego? Which member of the original Joe team came with the Venomization Chamber playset, where kids could pretend to infuse him with animal DNA to make a mutant villain? Which faction did WWE legend Rowdy Roddy Piper align himself with in toy form?

While collectors will dig Kavanaugh's thorough cataloging of every single weapon, paint variation and accessory, less-completist fans can enjoy the evolution of toy trends over a decade, as reflected in one flagship line. The book has only been sold in-person at a recent G.I. Joe Con, so you'll be among the first to get your hands on it. Kavanaugh will eventually be selling them online, but you can win one from us FREE right now! And don't forget, soldier: salute us on Facebook and Twitter for extra chances to win. Yo Joe!
