88 was my last year for vehicles. I went a year further with figures but the vehicles had started looking wonky since the Havok. Yeah little secret Cross Country hates the Havok, there I said it!
In 88 I had 3 vehicles but am not sure which was my last. Oddly my earlier Joe memories are from my younger days. Maybe at 7,8,9 I was more impressed or wowed than I was 11? I had the;
Cobra Imp. A funky color scheme but not too far out of an idea for a vehicle of war. Pretty Stark Industries. I felt it was a solid realistic concept and it would be cool to have my Joes navigate around those land mines trying to catch up to a retreating Cobra or working their way to a dug in Cobra installation.
The Demon. A Star Wars ish vehicle but I really liked the idea of Destro’s new faction. The IG were cool but most of the others lacked something. I have no recollection of ever playing with the Demon.
The Warthog. My favorite of the year. It floated better than most vehicles in the pool, except the APC- that thing is unsinkable. The missiles were silly but it was a pretty realistic vehicle in realistic colors. Held a few Joes, and even came with a bad ass version of Slaughter. Now I can’t stand Slaughter. He’s an overbearing idiot with the same balttle field prowess as Joan of Arc but at least it was a version that did not not look like a wrestler. At least no more so than the rest of the crew. He fit in with them now. It’s my favorite version of Searge, and have many memories playing with the Warthog on the living room floor and in the summer in the pool. Good times.
