At any rate, since the thread title refers to "characters" as opposed to just "action figures" ... in a series of recent interviews, Larry Hama has actually addressed GI Joe's gender gap/racial disparity. Both in terms of his efforts to rectify it (at the time), and to apologise/"make amends" for not doing more. (Which speaks to Hama's
own
excellent "character".)
This is a great post. It would be fair to say that the issue (I think) the OP is getting at is/was a systemic one that's in no way unique to GI Joe, especially on the toy side of the property.
