When Did You Fall In You Love

I've always liked army men. When I get more space I actually plan on getting some. So in effect, the RAH line was like ultimate army man line. Plus you couldn't be the accessories.

I was or rather into to the file cards. It gives you some insights on the characters and what they can do. Personally I'm into their secondary military speciality. Things like Roadblock is a gourment chef. Doc is a pacifist, or Scarlett's is classified, which means you can have Scarlett doing damn near anything you want.

That's one of things I wish Hasbro would do, get back into the realistic military aspect of the line. I would to have an Apache or a Blackhawk. Or have some of Cobras equipment be some of that old Warsaw Pact gear, like a MiG or an old Soviet bloc tank.

Really, Joe was only loosely based on 'realistic' military stuff for the first couple of years, and even then they took broad liberties

Costs and other factors keep hasbro from doing true 1:18 military vehicles and figures, which is a shame, because they have some of the best articulation of any figure line out there right now.

I would LOVE to see Hasbro do some sort of "Tribute to the Troops" boxset or something with 3 3/4th versions of modern soldiers (Army/Marines/Navy... Coast Guard...). Talk about army builders.

They did a G.I. Joe 12" line of realistic soldiers about ten years ago. Marines, SEALs, WWII era soldiers, etc. They also kinda did it with Sigma six, but It would be cool to see that in a 3 3/4 format.

Yeah, I know... and they used to ALL be based on real soldiers when the 12" line was at its peak (before 'action force' etc).

Maybe when the 12" line hits another milestone anniversary...

Your right, now that I re-read it, it does sound hella gay.

Basically the '94 30th Anniversary Action Team, but with modern unis and format.
