Beachhead version 2: I don't even know what's going on here. and the worst figure to me: Major Blood version 3: he's dressed in velvet pajamas like Cobra sent him on a mission to take over the Playboy mansion.

Captain Grid Iron was one of my favorites as a kid. I remember getting his figure in school during Christmas time. My school would layout a ton of toys in the auditorium and one by one, each class would go through and pick a toy. I got Captain Grid Iron from the pile. It was awesome! I’d try to score a G. I. Joe every year I could. I did score another one the following year. It was Sub Zero. G. I. Joe was definitely the greatest action figure line of all time!

The story of Ice Cream Soldier, There was rumors of a SGT Rock movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Hasbro thought it hurt GI joe if there was a Sgt Rock toyline, So they started to trademark Sgt Rock character names, Ice Cream Soldier, Little Sure Shot and Bulldozer, that is one of the reason for the SGT Savage line, Little Sure Shot or Sure Shot was planned for 95 and Bulldozer was going to show up Sgt Savage line

I personally love the idea of casual attire joes. I don't think I would want them as the "main" incarnation of the figure, but kind of cool as an extra figure for scenarios when the joes are attacked by cobra while not on duty. Sort of like Tomax and Xamot in their suits.

Hated Crystal Ball. How were you supposed to integrate him on the battlefield? Was he supposed to sneak up on someone and hypnotize them? Nope, straight up cannon fodder. Sneak Peek could have worked if (A) he was actually able to securely hold onto his 5 foot tall periscope, (that somehow the enemy wouldn't notice) and (B) if he didn't look like a doofus. Seriously, who wants a dweeb with a stupid grin and a 5 foot tall periscope riding into battle with them? Not my team of Joes back then, as Putz Peek was always the first to meet his end against Cobra.

Like what kid WOULN'T buy that?! Also, the Bayblade dreidel (Blaydel) is OP. Give that guy a "space laser" and he's all set.

I'd add the Street Fighter Joes and MK Joes. Though Goro was pretty cool. And I liked that v2 Firefly. Granted, I was an avid comics reader, and when that fig hit when they revealed Fireflys origins in the comics. Early 90s... I want to say between issues 125 to 135. Cobra was assaulting Destros Castle and it was just a wild story.

Day glow was a popular color scheme in the late 1980s to early 1990s.

I literally just realized Grid-iron is in Packers colors. Was this a dig at The Fridge? How many midwesterners were on that design team?

The weird thing is his file card lists him as being from a suburb of Chicago. Hasbro was headquartered in Rhode Island, which is why a disproportionate number of Joes are listed as being from the Northeast. I think Fridge was just added because he was a popular player at the time. They probably started developing the project after the Bears' 1985 Superbowl win.

Yep, it did really go to crap after about 1989 or so. I thought at the time I had just grown out of them and lost interest as I had turned 11 that year, but no, even looking back they really did take a steep dive from then on.

The 1990s were certainly the lowest point in the A Real American Hero line, although I did enjoy the commercial for the Ninja Force line with Scarlett delivering such lines as "You're the one who just rolled Snake-Eyes!" and "Tough Break!", and the non-canon Street Fighter II commercial where, apparently, Shadaloo and COBRA have merged into one entity, thus Bison (Vega in Japan) announcing "But COBRA has Street Fighters, too!".

I must be in the minority because when I think of Skid mark I immediately think of a long black mark left on a road surface by the tires of a skidding vehicle. Never underestimate a Joe fan hearing a term/name and immediately associating it with the most low brow/toilet bowl application of the word. Hate to think what would happen if there were an operative with the code name “Booby Trap”.

It seemed like the issue was that they realized that the brand was dying out. So, they just cranked out things as quickly and simply as possible.

That was the reason the line devolved into sub-teams. It was a way for Hasbro to pivot to selling toys with more popular themes ("ninjas", "Space" "Street Fighter II" etc.) while still capitalizing on the fact that retailers had established a certain amount of space for the GI Joe brand rather than having to fight for retail space with a new line.

@ they fumbled by not coming up with a direct competitor to Power Rangers. They could have made it work. Consider, there existed a Voltron variant in the 80’s that fit 3.75” action figures in the cockpit of the lions.

I don't like it when a file card does one of two things. The ones that make them out to be "I was born to do this" and the ones that make some personality quirk be their one defining feature dominating everything else. They can be done right, but it's too easy to get it wrong. How about a file card that says how a Joe joined the military to escape a bad family situation? Or a scientist who Cobra tried to kidnap and worked with the Joe rescue team so well they stayed?
