Whats your last original Joe figure you ever bought?

Who was your last figure from the original Joes that you remember buying, and why did you stop after that.........


Roadpig 1988

Some of the vipers got way too ridiculous, no new cartoons to keep me interested, and i discovered using firecrackers mulitated Joes with ease.....Oh man the countless Joes I murdered by explosions, watching a big bus running them over, giggling while hiding to watch the carnage night after night, and learning to ride a skateboard :( sigh...

i cannot for the life of me remember the last Joe i bought, (or had bought for me) but the lack of toon also contributed to my lost interest...

I think my last one was Headhunter Stormtrooper. I was on my way to getting out of Joe by this time but I saw this one and I had to get it (I also had gotten Mace around the same time, both bought at a Winn-Dixie Grocery store) I don't know why I was getting out of Joe, probably just thought I was growing up or something ;)

I'm not sure what exactly it was, but i just looked @ Yojoes archive and i remember me and my brother having several '91 figures (Sci-fi, Crimson Guard Immortal, Dusty (<--wow, that is an ugly figures), Heavy Duty and more) and not 1 of the 92 figures looks familiar, so there ya go...

Tiger Force Roadblock. Started getting out of toys at the time and KB had a bunch on sale. Picked him up cause he was one of my favorite Joes.

This is a great topic....

Oddly enough the first and last figure I got were the same character.
1st was original Scarlett and the last was Ninja Force Scarlett. By the time I got (NF)Scarlett I was pretty out of Joes, but I bought her so I can come full circle..

Dont remember the last one but it was in 87 because I didnt have any of the 88 figs. It might have been the repaints and it might have been switching interest to other stuff. I remember thinking the TMNT got stupid because they came out with so many versions just to keep making money. Those got whack real quick.

one of the Battle Corps characters. I think Backblast or Crimson Guard Commander. The big lots where I lived got a bunch in early 95 after the line was canned.

Mine must have been either Blowtorch or Snake Eyes v2 from the 85 line. I had those figs, but I didn't have anything else from that year. I started getting into other things - I can remember still playing with my action figures a little but not really buying too many more.
