Heads up! Mr. Bobby Vala, Toy Designer Extraordinaire, has just shared word of a new website that he’s launched, Steel Brigade Tracker!
As many of you know, Bobby is a HUGE Steel Brigade fan. As such, he’s put together this page with a very specific mission: To catalog all Steel Brigade figures in existence! From SteelBrigadeTracker.com –
THIS SITE IS DEDICATED TO TRACKING G.I. JOE’S LARGEST AND MOST ELITE SQUAD. STEEL BRIGADE IS A CUSTOMIZED MAIL AWAY OFFERING FROM 1987 THROUGH THE END OF THE REAL AMERICAN HERO LINE IN 1994. EACH CHILD RECEIVED THE SAME FIGURE BUT THE UNIQUE ASPECT WAS GIVING THE CHILD THE OPPORTUNITY TO NAME THEIR TROOPER AND CHOOSE SPECIFIC ATTRIBUTES MAKING THEIR STEEL BRIGADE TROOPER TRULY UNIQUE. WHEN YOUR PACKAGE ARRIVED IN THE MAIL, THE CONTENTS INCLUDED A STEEL BRIGADE FIGURE, BACKPACK, RIFLE, PATCH AND LARGE FILE CARD. OVER THE YEARS MANY DIFFERENT STEEL BRIGADE VERSIONS WERE OFFERED. PLEASE VISIT WWW.YOJOE.COM & WWW.3DJOES.COM FOR THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE BREAKDOWN OF EACH VERSION.
THE STEEL BRIGADE TRACKER IS DESIGNED TO CREATE A HISTORY OF THE TROOPERS THAT ARE ALL AROUND THE WORLD. ALTHOUGH EACH FIGURE IS THE SAME, THE INCLUDED FILE CARDS MADE EACH CHARACTER ONE OF A KIND. THE FILE CARDS, WHICH ARE QUITE POSSIBLY THE RAREST PART OF THE OFFERING, ARE THE KEY TO TRACKING THE THOUSANDS OF STEEL BRIGADE TROOPERS THAT WERE ORDERED. PLEASE HELP THE EFFORT TO BRING THIS SQUAD TOGETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME.
