So the world GI Joe has brought us so many different characters period from 1982 and beyond. We have seen a great assortment of GI Joe and Cobra. I can narrow my favorite all time Joe and Cobra down to one each, but it was very difficult. So many factors came into play. So I know everyone has a favorite from each side. I know alot of us were so intrigued year after year and really can't narrow it down to just an All Time Favorite Joe and an All Time Favorite Cobra, so let's go by year. And what the hell, let's add in vehicles/playsets.
I'll start: First of all, if I had to narrow down my All Time Favorite Joe and Cobra and vehicle/playset, my choices would be: All Time Favorites GI Joe: 1986 Dial Tone GI Joe Vehicle/Playset: 1986 Outpost Defender Cobra: 1986 Dr Mindbender Cobra Vehicle/Playset: 1985 Cobra Bunker Last edited by sbartek1974; 01-09-2020 at 04:36 AM.. |

Hell yeah, I'll play. I'm going to knock it all out in one go, so here's a long one. 85, 86, and 89-91 were next to impossible to choose, those years all had a ton of great figures.
All time (today, anyway): Joe: *1987 or NF Tunnel Rat *1984 Whale Cobra: *1984 Firefly *1986 Terror Drome Figures by year( no "all times" included): 82-83 Stalker, Cobra Commander 83 Gung Ho, Destro 84 Spirit, Storm Shadow 85 Snake Eyes, Crimson Guard 86 Roadblock, Viper 87 Outback, Zanzibar 88 Hit & Run, Roadpig 89 Rock & Roll, Alley Viper 90 Ambush, Undertow 91 Red Star, CG Immortal 92 Big Bear, Slice 93 Beachhead, Alley Viper 94 Stalker, Alley viper Vehicles etc by year (where it applies): 82 Ram 83 Skystriker, HISS 84 Slugger, Stinger 85 Mauler, Moray 86 Havoc, Night Raven 87 Persuader, Mamba 88 Warthog, Imp 89 Equalizer, HISS II 90 Retaliator, Hurricane Thought about dipping into the later O ring stuff, as that's where ARAH really ended for me, but this is long enough, I think |

A bit off topic, but my most wanted modern era updates to vintage figures and vehicles are
Joe update: 89 SE with a comic accurate unmasked head Joe vehicle update: the WHALE. Cobra update: 90s Ninja Firefly Cobra vehicle: the MAGGOT updated as an artillery canon or the HISS II |

Don’t forget that the ‘85 Snake Eyes was the origin of the Rise of Cobra lips!
