I would have to say it would be when they cancelled the line in 1994 b/c i was really looking forward to the Manimals line of figures. Only to give us the Sgt Savage and then GIJoe Extreme stuff. Needless to say, i spent a good amount of money over the next 2 or 3 years after the cancellation to obtain the Manimal figures.

When the GI Joe animated movie came out in the mid '80s. I was more of a tradtionalist at the time,...all the crazy colors and outfits, turned me off just before entering high school.

Yes ROC
but it started the the cancellation and dumping of Resolute cartoon and cancelling of the 25th carded figures...followed up by the 9 month delay for our current toy line, the reduced articualtion on the vehicle drivers/soem of the single carded figs and the continued terrible support of the toys at our biggest retailer TRU...they didn't even do a movie preview dispaly of the toys thingy this time around...the past 5 years have been strewn with disappoint after disappointment lol...and the biggest disappointment of all? Being taunted with the cancelled (concept) vault figures...talk about lemon and bleach in the paper cut wounds!

V1 Zartan. Partially because I was a naive kid, I was expecting Zartan to blend into his surroundings, but he didn't. I couldn't play with him outside with the rest of my Joes because he always turned that horrible ugly blue. It made no sense, I was so disappointed. I would have been happy with a regular figure without the color change feature. I still don't get it, why the hell does he turn blue?

Wow, some really good stuff here. I'd love to see the opposite discussion as well, as in our favorite GI Joe memories, though I think I have seen that discussion on here from time to time.
Most disappointing for me in no order: - ROC, definitely. My expectations were very low . . . and they were met. - End of the 25th anniversary line. Wow, the 25th anniversary line was AWESOME and got me back into GI Joe. When it came to an end it was a real bummer. - Finally watching the 86 animated movie on VHS many years later in 2000. I was excited to see it and watch my favorite characters in action, but ended up watching Don Johnson in action for most of the movie instead. Was disappointed to have Snake Eyes, Scarlett, Flint, and many others relegated into supporting roles. Low Light had one line - "Showtime" ? - Standing in line at 4am and waiting 16 hours to get to the Hasbro booth to buy stuff like the Starscream Skystriker and Zaranas on SDCC preview night in 2011, and getting shut out of the booth. Worst experience ever in collecting.

I remember a scene in the Revenge of Cobra mini-series when CC is on Zartan's swamp skier in the swamp and his helmet hits a tree branch and almost comes off. Other than that I remember him becoming a snake in the animated movie.

When did that happen? I must have missed it.
