This week we bring you photos and video from January 23, 2026 at the Friday session of the weather-truncated Kentuckiana GI Joe Toy Show Winterfest. This show happened back when our new ice age was just beginning. I had planned to bring you this stuff last Sunday, but it was delayed so that I could post my memories of the late Danny Boyd.
Above you see about thirteen minutes of the raw footage, shakiness and all, that Mel and I shot at Winterfest. In order to cover up any accidentally-recorded conversation, the audio has been replaced with some instrumental music that might seem familiar to folks with great taste. Below you will find a very short photo essay. To see our first photo essay from the event, click HERE. For the music video I made out of the above footage, click HERE.
Now, on with the photos…

This was the convention set, a uniform for Adventure Command that recalls a classic Adventure Team GI Joe set. of course I got one.

The Marauders line of 3 3/4″ figures. One of these days I’m gonna have to interview these guys.

This brought back memories. My sister had one of these.

Classic GI Joe RAH vehicles

Ace Allgood and friend. Yes, I recycled this from the feature image two weeks ago.

Ace always has the coolest vintage Joe stuff.

The guy with the tricked-out Nerf motorized scooter was a trip.

The JLN wrestlers and the dinosaurs just looked like they belonged together.

Thirty years ago this much coolness in place would have elicited an ear-piercing “SQEEE” from me. Now that I have all of them in my collection, I was able to put my hand over my mouth.

Y’know…it wasn’t all action figures at the show.

We leave you with this hirsute Adventure Team Scotsman, whose salute cracked me the hell up. We’ll be back for the Kentuckiana GI Joe Toy Expo in July…hopefully with less ice and snow involved.
