Yeah I don't know where the beginning of the end may have started, but I feel like this is the year they totally gave up. Plus there was very little connection to the comics any more. I put Big Ben as he is the most solid figure, (Least idiotic looking), but I think I should have put Major Altitude, since I didn't own Big Ben until later, and I played with my Major Altitude more so.
Why Major Altitude is not a Major, and why give him a codename so similar to a character they just introduced a year before, and why take that name and then give it to a more familiar Joe (Ripcord), who has all of Freefall's filecard info, as if we won't notice. Doesn't any body care at Hasbro? |

Big Ben all the way, he's SAS..'nuff said.
As an aussie, felt bad for not voting for Skymate, he's SASR too but geez the costume, the code name, it's all so stereotypical, I'm surprised he didn't come with a pet dingo. Skymate? Skymate? sigh over here 'mate' is slang for friend It's like calling the guy 'Sky Pal' or 'Sky Bud' |

Red Star. I always wanted some Oktober Guard figures since their first appearance, and by the time this guy was released, I was long out of playing with Joes. Later on I picked him up though, and he was one of my favorites.

I have actually never seen any of these guys (beyond snapshots of the figures). 1991 was the year I shipped off to Parris Island, so Joes were kind of on hold for a decade or so...
Were any of them really exceptionally cool? |

I voted Skymate. I love him! Intricate, rare accessories, completely new mold, ridiculously awesome neon colors, plus he came with a glider! So cool. And he's Australian! That's always good for a laugh. Also, his name sort of implies mile-high club membership.

I was out of Jos before these came out. Voted Red Star since I love the Oktober guard and would have bought him in a second if I'd known he'd come out back then.
