Born in 1976. Had my first gi joe in 1982 (Straight arms Snake-eyes and the RAM bike). Altough ive always preferred gi joe, I remember clearly when 1984 hit, everybody at school was only talking and asking for transformers toys the following christmas.

Here's my take on it, both toylines were incredibly popular, I remember for the '85-'86 season an independent TV station would air Transformers and G.I.Joe in an hour block and was the talk next day at school recess.
G.I.Joe and Transformers really hit the peak in '86 but 1987 is where things take a turn while Cobra-La wasn't as welcomed to Joe fans when it came to Transformers Hasbro had depleted their Takara molds and started with original designs, switching from rubber tires to plastic and less diecast parts therefore branching out to sublines like Headmasters, Targetmasters and Powermasters that Transformers went from realistic looking cars to Fisher Price crap. |
