3.75 Inch Joe: The Special Forces Team That Forged An American Hero Vol. 5 Kickstarter Is Live!

Posted on March 2, 2018 at 3:49 pm by xerofall under G.I. Joe Vintage

HissTank member Dansjoes has posted a new Kickstarter, volume 5 of his 3.75″ Joe, Creating G.I. Joe A Real American Hero!

The release of “3.75 Inch Joe: The Special Forces Team that forged an American Hero” book series, Volume 5! The fifth book in the series, “3.75 Inch Joe: The Special Forces Team that forged an American Hero (Volume 5)” is an 80 page, 9”X10” library of designs and stories ranging from 1982-1994, including some unproduced concepts! This fully colored book will be printed on 100# paper in a Soft Perfect Bind format with a visible spine like a graphic novel. Although there have been many books written about G.I. Joe®, what makes “3.75 Inch Joe: The Special Forces Team that forged an American Hero” series unique is the fact that the information shared within the book comes from exclusive interviews with former employees who worked on the G.I. Joe® brand. Some of the things to expect include:

• The inspiration and influences behind the different figures and vehicles straight from the designers’ point of view…

• Alternate names for figures and vehicles pulled from Larry Hama’s dossiers or from the original concepts themselves…

• Insider stories from former employees ranging from Marketing to Engineering regarding the changes that occurred during the design process…

• Conceptual designs and photographs that will show the progression and different stages of creating a figure or vehicle. This includes concept pencils and inks, sculpture sheets, color studies, color presentation art, models, and much much more!

    Finally getting all of them this year. Guessing doing this will keep me from backing the Marauder's kickstarter, but I can pick up individual figures later. Besides, when they get to Viet Nam figures I'll go bankrupt.

    I'm considering the same move with Dan's books.

    In regards to MTF, I'm also in the same boat! Really hope we can make all 6 of the LRRP squad.

    One week left on this, and it's only 2/3rds funded. Have the previous kickstarters come down to the wire like this?

    He needs to be updating this thread daily with info... I can't do it all myself.

    I wasn't expecting this one, especially since my first 4 volumes fit nice and snug in the slipcase. Wondering if there will be 4 more volumes to fill up another slipcase....hmmmm

    I asked him recently about that, and if I recall correctly, he thought he had material for around 7-9 total volumes. I might be off, but it was definitely at least a few more.

    It's up to $11,350 of the $16,500 needed by next Monday. I think he mentioned in that video listed above that it could go up to 12 volumes.
