G.i. Joe!!!!

[SideShow Bob]

Everthing blows up, no one gets hurt. That always irradiated me as a kid.

Not when Joe had a lit M80 duct taped to his back...........

Irradiated ? Playing with nukes, were you ?

The "King Fu Grip"!
How many of the 11" figures died a ghastly death of BB gun, Black Cats and Ronson Lighter fluid???
About a dozen on my end.
I had a bunch of cool "sets" that went with them, the downed pilot, frogman, WWII bazooka man, Green Beret, jeep with the 105 recoiless rifle, bomb squad, helicopter(that I wanted to kill my sister when she broke the rotor) mountaineer, sniper, all kinds of cool stuff.
I just about went into shock when I saw what some of it is worth now.....

Yeah well I was a bit of a destructive child at times. Many a Joe died burned at the stake etc. I was talking about the cartoon though. I had the same problem with the A-Team.

Met the dude and saw the collection of the largest, most comprehensive GI Joe collection. Pretty cool. Loved my Joes when I was a kid.

I remember my He-Man action figures burned my Joes up and ripper their legs off. I bet some poor kid living in my old house digging in the dirt under the deck found them and now has to go to therapy.

I had a set SOP for joes who's joints got to loose, They would be captured by Cobra and burned at the stake (ok Popsicle stick usually) When Cobras went bad, they were the victims of an F14 strike that started their Cobra base (constructed of cardboard) on fire and they didn't make it out. Kinda wish I still had the Joe F14 and the Cobra SR71, I miss them.

At least with the A-Team they were shooting Mini-14s, so it made sense.

True, true. My kid cousin had to have a mini-14 because of the A-Team. Then figured out that they are accurate to an hour of angle. He was crushed.

I was a little too young for the big Joes and too old for the smaller ones, but I burned/shot/exploded my way through plenty of Star Wars action figures.

GI Joe was cool but apparently a bunch of them ended up in therapy.
