Funny
Alot of the figures were stereotypical, but GI Joe was my favorite. The commercials and cartoons were a genius way of bringing in my whole generation as a kid. Everyone had them. I never did get that ridiculously long air craft carrier. Too bad Hasbro began to grow up with the generation by modernizing it, and of course Kenner’s bias. Also,the 80’s figure design was superior!

And I’ve been on yojoe.com many times. They absolutely specialize in G.I. Joes. I would recommend them to anyone that wants to look back the full line of GI Joes.

Ok this list is messed up. While I agree with Dee-Jay, Crystal Ball and The Fridge. But Mjr Bludd, Snow Serpent, Spirit and Mindbender? You have to be kidding me. Especially the Mindbender version you picked. The lab coat is arguably the best MB figure, even customs don’t come close to this one.

snake eyes is very cool in the newer version. Totally SWEET I’d pay lots for just one of those hall of fame snake eyes with timber. YO JOE!

I am so hoping that they hired Ellis to write these in order to test the idea of doing a full blown series.

Saddly, people like you will never get what GI Joe is about. Honestly, you’re not even worth the bandwidth you’ve been given so far.

I had several of those, but I was always partial to Croc Master for some reason. And I lost him in a lake (or some similar body of water), because he fell out of the cockpit of some (non-GI Joe) space shuttle (or something) that I had him in.

You’d think something that upset me as much as I think I recall that doing would be more memorable, come to think of it.

Man, I love GI Joe figures. There were some ridiculous ones though, I agree.

Crystal Ball looks like the product of some perverted gene splicing experiment involving Dr Strange, Mentok the MindMaster and Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four… if it then dressed up as a gay lion poacher.

nice post.

Only by the standards of the first-string Joes and Cobras were these not cool. Compared to the larger toy world? Hell, they are still pretty good.

How can you do an article on lame Gi-Joe figures and leave out Big Boa, Cobra’s own personal trainer. He was a boxer with a rediculous helmate. No wonder the joes walked over the vipers and other cobra foot soldiers so easilly, they were trained for boxing not guns.

After watching some of those commercials, I now wonder if G.I. Joe was partially/wholly funded by the U.S. military. I’m gonna go google it. Wait a sec… no answers on page one of the results, and that’s as far as I research anything. (True story, Fin)

There were so many worse than these.

The original Alley Vipers — with the florescent orange and blue suits and stupid cobra head shield … (actually, there are at least 10 Viper varieties that are absolutely ridiculous).

Actually most of these figures were pretty awesome back in the 80’s.

Muskrat had an awesome shotgun…as can be seen in the package. So he is by definition awesome.
