However, the one thing we were most excited about was the "GIJoe Rough Riders". It was a subset like Battle Corps / DEF / Space Force. Each figure came with a horse. I remember him telling me about Spirit, Wild Bill and Outback were the Joes... I can't remember if there were Cobras. Does anyone know if this was true? He wasn't the kind of friend that would pull my leg about things... so I always assumed it was true. Am I just gullible?
No I think he was right, there was a small piece of concept art by Ron Rudat which depicts what your friend was talking about. Your post just added more detail than I have ever been able to find out. (Pic is not my own and was found on the net, thanks to original poster)
This is awesome. Hopefully Dan Klingensmith can pad out details in one of his future books
