A lot of the later GI Joe filenames were based on Hasbro artists or people who worked in related industries. I don't think we ever compiled the list of known "real people" workignwith Hasbro deliberately getting their names and/or likenesses in toy form. The ones I can think of off the top of my head:
Dusty - Ronald Tadur (surname is an anagram of "Rudat," the surname of Hasbro artist Ronald Rudat) Leatherneck - 1986 card art likeness is based on Ronald Rudat's appearance Major Barrage - David Vennemeyer (Hasbro sculptor) Rampage - Walter McDaniel (Marvel comics artist) Bushido - Lloyd S. Goldfine (Sunbow Productions writer/producer) Wayne Ruthel - the co-pilot on the original Skystriker box art, whose name is an anagram of Wayne Luther, the name of a Hasbro artist I'm sure there are tons more, but these are the ones that I've seen or read confirmations for. |

The Joe and Cobra recruitment threads have more posts. It also depends on how you set your posts per page. My setup has this thread at 499 pages.

I'm very excited about the new TRU 5-packs. And $20 isn't bad at all. I'm really looking forward to all the Joe figures. I hope I can troop build the Zartans - I'd like to have some desert MP's.
However, I'm really excited about the Cobra set with "infiltration" Duke. As I've mentioned, I use RoC Duke as a different character: Major Striker. This figure will work well with Night Force. I'm excited to be able to add to Night Force.
