I remember my pops brought home the Kung-Fu Grip Brother w/ the lifelike natural...it was over.Later in life I attended a Toy Convention(circa 81) at the Colluseum which is now the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle. One of the booth were displaying a comic that would promote the new G.I.Joe.... The OG Action Figures were the shit, but I had to admit liking the superheroization of the New bunch. The new cartoon was fuckin incredible. And the movies were hot too.Duke was the OG leader w/ Hawk being the field dude. Then Flint came later.This Is arguably the G.O.A.T. toy. Star Wars is crazy but Hasbro started the whole shit.

i think thats the one with the parting shot:
"...whats that?"
"...my record collection!"

Saba's dolls ARE little girls.

Zartan was like Boba Fett. Everybody wanted one of these. Dude would change to blue.
Somebody YouTube that commercial.
no everyone wanted FireFly storm shadow& snakeyes
They're making a movie too. Hope they don't blow it.
p.s. I buried Zartan in the sandbox for a week and when i dug him up he was blue...

You could say that.

Yeah, I remember that tent and the canteen coming in the white tiger set...but not the alligator.
The inflatable boat I got was a separate accessory...maybe even as part of a set of its own...as I'm kinda remembering some sort of underwater propuslion device that came with it that strapped onto Joe's back (or something like that...I was only 4 years old at the time).
yeah i think the above pics are someones collage.
The White Tiger Hunt Set is separate from the Water Raft set.
So the white dudes get to be the sea, air, and land adventurers, and adventurer commander, and the black dude is just a generic adventurer?
Get it straight. Specialized adventuring is for the white boys. Check out the paranoid looks, too.
Black adventurer could do it all. No sweat.
