I recently got this version of Sgt. Slaughter to have all 4 versions of him. The Warthog is very cool. I wasn't playing with joes in 88 anymore but I remember seeing it back then and saying Joes are still cool. lol.
@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit7 күн бұрын
I still need the 89 marauders one. Yes 1988 was still kick ass - l remember my mom saying l was too old for gi.joes now 😅.. by 1990 at 15 l had bought my last one. I like how you still thought they were cool in 88. What was your last year ? 1987?

As a young'n, I remember sending away for the hooded Commander. I was hurt and angry because it never showed up after weeks and months of excitement. Reached out to the company. They did not care. They, probably, couldn't have fixed it if they wanted to. It was limited. Man, that burned deep. lol I was SO bent.
