I was reading through the Hasbro Star Wars/Indy Q&As when I came across this unexpected piece of Joe news:
Cool Toy Review: Checking out the SDCC exclusive Cobra Commander for G.I. Joe, the body looks suspiciously like the outfit worn by Donovan at the end of The Last Crusade. Is this in fact a sneak peek at this potential figure? Hasbro: Sharp, sharp observation! Indeed it is, indeed it is. We have negotiated the first three way figure trade in the history of toy lines, loaning Donovan's body to the GI Joe team, who sent the Crystal Ball tooling to Star Wars to become Talon Karrde, and who in turn sent real Stormtroopers to Indy to replace the bumbling German ones. OK, we kid about the last two. Anyway - great catch! Source: http://www.cooltoyreview.com/story/f...ers_115506.asp I haven't found any mention of a 25th Crystal Ball after doing a search so my apologies if this has been posted somewhere already without my knowledge. |

*Redfaced* I thought the part they were kidding about were sending the real stormtroopers to Indy to replace the bumbling German soldiers. Mods, please feel free to delete my mistake.
Since Nemesis Enforcer is coming, I didn't think it was too far-fetched that CB could be coming out. *Hangs head in shame* |

Imagine the uproar if Crystal Ball made the cut Before Dusty or Quick Kick?

Yeah, I read this last week and thought it was a joke. For the record, I wouldn't mind a Crystal Ball, Big Boa, Golobulous, Pythona, Darklon, Raptor, . . . They all have some redeeming qualities.

I have to admit that I had this figure, but I just can't remember why. 1987 was when Joe started going downhill for me.
