I CAN REMEMBER FILLING OUT THE ORDER FORM FOR MY STEEL BRIGADE FIGURE AND THEN RECEIVING IT SOME 6-8 WEEKS LATER. IT WAS INSTANTLY MY FAVORITE G.I. JOE FIGURE. UNFORTUNATELY, ALL I HAVE LEFT TO SHOW FOR IT IS THE ORIGINAL PATCH. TO THIS DAY STEEL BRIGADE IS STILL MY FAVORITE JOE AND OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS I'VE SORT OF STARTED HOARDING THEM. YOU CAN BUY 30 DUKES BUT THEY WILL ALL BE THE SAME. WHATS UNIQUE ABOUT STEEL BRIGADE IS THAT EACH ONE IS ITS OWN CHARACTER. YES, EVERY FIGURE IS THE SAME BUT EVERY STORY IS DIFFERENT. ITS UNFORTUNATE THAT THE FILE CARDS ARE SO HARD TO COME BY SINCE THEY ARE WHAT TELLS THE STORY. AS MY COLLECTION GREW, IT WASN'T ABOUT THE NUMBER OF FIGURES I COULD HAVE BUT IT WAS THE JOURNEY EACH FIGURE TOOK. THEY WERE CREATED FROM A CHILD'S IMAGINATION AND THEN BECAME PART OF THE JOE TEAM. THOUSANDS OF THESE FIGURES WERE ORDERED AND ITS UNKNOWN HOW MANY ARE LEFT WHICH IS WHY I STARTED THIS SITE. I WANTED TO BE ABLE TO BRING AS MANY OF THEM TOGETHER AS I COULD. NOT JUST IN MY COLLECTION BUT FOR THE WHOLE G.I. JOE COMMUNITY. NOW I ASK EVERYONE WITH A STEEL BRIGADE FIGURE OUT THERE TO PLEASE SHARE YOUR FIGURES STORY. EVEN IF YOU DO NOT HAVE YOUR FIGURE ANYMORE BUT CAN PROVIDE THE NAME OR VERSION YOU HAD, IT WILL HAVE A HOME HERE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP TO BRING THIS SQUAD TOGETHER.
