So I was going through some old boxes today, discarding junk and old notebooks, and came across a vanilla envelope with some Joe stuff in it. Inside was my file card for my Steel Brigade which I thought had gotten thrown away a long time ago. It was a treat to read it so I decided to post it here for your review.
I made some really odd choices back then. Apparently I wanted SB to be some kind of hybrid USAF/Army Special Forces martial artist/spy that loves to work alone. I also thought I had named him Maverick but apparently I named him Scavenger. If I remember correctly, the paragraphs under Traits, Abilities, and Personality were pre-written statements based on characteristics that you selected when you mailed in your file card form. Interesting stuff. Enjoy. GI JOE COMBAT COMMAND FILE CARD CODE NAME: SCAVENGER / Air Force Primary Military Specialty: Martial Arts Secondary Military Specialty: Counter-Espionage Weapons Specialty: M-11 Submachine Gun, Expert all NATO & Warsaw Pact Small Arms Martial Arts Expert: Jujitsu, Zen Sword, Throwing Stars School Training: Airborne School, Special Forces, Jungle Warfare TRAITS Extremely self reliant, SCAVENGER spends a lot of time alone. His mind is always at work though, as he contemplates his next strategic move. He has high expectations and aims to fulfill them. ABILITIES SCAVENGER’S spirit and intense energy level motivate the rest of the team. When battle erupts, SCAVENGER is always at the front of the line, ready for whatever is necessary to defend and protect his country. PERSONALITY SCAVENGER is truly fascinating, for although he has proven his abilities as a fine soldier, his talents reach far beyond the battlefield. A closer look at SCAVENGER reveals a brilliant artistic mind. Last edited by Tanksmasher; 05-07-2011 at 12:10 PM.. |

I think the choice was "is a Maverick" Hence the TRAITS paragraph.

Yeah, I think you are right, Loose. I wish there was a link to the mailing form with all the choices on it. That would be interesting to see.

Cool find! Mine is still boxed up somewhere in my grandparent's attic (I think). All I can remember for sure was that he was in the Air Force (nod to my dad) and that his codename was Phoenix.
IMO this was one of the coolest things Hasbro ever did with the line. I wish they would bring it back (along with flag points). Maybe the club could offer it? |
