What is the best 25th Joe figure from 1985. As some of you might know. I display my joes by the original year that they came out. With 1985 starting to finally fill out, I thought it would be cool to do a poll.

I don't own Dusty or Quick Kick..so it came down to Shipwreck and Bazooka for me. And since Bazooka had two open fists and an awesome weapon/backpack he won out.

It was down to BBQ and Bazooka for me. I wanted Bazooka, but the knees swung it in BBQ's favor.

Is there a Lady Jaye DVD pack option?

I chose only the figures that represent the original figure.

I had to go with the classic Snake Eyes v2. I would have given BBQ more consideration if they had made his hand so it would hold the fire axe better. Nitpicky?

I went with BBQ. I don't think any of the 85 Joes so far are as good as Torpedo or Snow Job.

The Lady Jaye DVD pack figure is infinitely better than the cross-eyed knock-kneed one on the card. She looks like she has scoliosis. No offense to scoliosis sufferers... it itches.

1985 was my least favorite year for new G.I.JOE characters. They just weren't that inspiring or original. Having said that, I'll give the slight edge to Barbeque over Snake Eyes.
Not a big fan of Dusty, but I'm damn impressed with his 25th year representation.

I was going to pick snake eyes but figured most people will to the same. Since most Snakes Eyes toys are cool. And it will always be number 1 in my list. But if he didn't exist. I would say Lady J. Cause most girl figures from Hasbro suck. Lady J from the DVD pack is the best as of yet and this fig impessed me. Makes me feel its a girl figure.

BARBECUE is def the best. Bazooka is good too, but diff from the original. BBQ is the truest and best update

Dusty FTW. Straps or no. Flint would be next, then SE w/ Timber.

Snake Eyes v2 is the best by far from this group of that year. I was so impressed the first time I saw him and bought two on the spot. I have repeated this buying tatic since getting him but he was the one that got me excited seeing the 25th line at stores

BAZOOKA!!! He's the most unique out of the bunch, all the others have been done one too many times! Not putting them down, but Bazooka stands out for me. Had the original, have the new one.

EDIT: Just noticed Crankcase is on there too, how has no one voted for him? I LOVE his 25th incarnation! He looks like a respectable young Irish soldier, where as his original looked like a creepy pervert.

He comes in second on my end.
