Incinerator was my last figure; the crazy color guns on everything that was out at the time, and the fact that I had NO idea what Battle Corp was, turned me off to the line. I felt out of touch with it.

Posts: 44 | Even as a kid i went in and out of collecting, but came back hard for the last time in late '93 at age 14 when I bought Ninja Force Zartan and Snake Eyes, and Battle Corps Ally Viper. I was devastated by the lack of creativity in the weapons tree and the rgressive crotch of Snake Eyes!!!
So i desperately searched out any and all remaining '92 figures and vehicles which still had creative, individualistic weapons. I found all the '92 Ninja Force figs and every regular figure, except the discontinued Roadblock, as well as the Earthquake, which I loved. Still feel '92 line has some underated figs like Destro, Wetsuit, Gen. Flag and even Wild Bill!
The very last figs i bought before getting back into collecting with 25th, were the 30th Action Soldier, Marine, Navy Frogman and Fighter Pilot.

| | Iron Grenadier Join Date: Nov 2008 Location: New York Posts: 726 | I "got out of" playing with Joes in the summer of '86, I had all of the main series of figures, plus a vehicle or 2. The very last Joe thing I got as a kid was the Slaughter's Renegades 3 pack...not sure why I bought them, by the time they came out I was fully into comics, skateboarding, music, and wrestling. I opened them up and don't even recall playing with them, they just went right into the big box in the closet with all my other Joe stuff. Didn't want to keep them laying around in my room, in fears of friends seeing them and being like "you still play with toys?" Ehh...lame-ass peer pressure.
