add Sneak Peek and SAW Viper
Reserving my vote until later in the poll. I think this is the first poll that I have absolutely no one that I feel strongly towards or are even leaning towards. Fridge will probably win it, but I don't feel as though he contributed to the mythos at all. I wish Zanya or Skidmark weren't riding the bench this time. Probably GI Jane is my first choice this time, just because of her importance over all...but wow....that's a lot of poll warmers! |

I've been debating about saying this, as it is pretty controversial. However, it is Sunday, and especially given what Sunday it is, it seems appropriate.
I think it is early for the Fridge, and as an adult, I find the notion of him as a Joe pretty silly. However, as a kid growing up, I saw it very differently. At the time, I saw my people going through unfair persecution and nobody (the commissioner, the government, the law) doing anything about it. Everyone turned a blind eye and seemed to give a pass to criminals like Gregg, Martin, Stills, and Lee. As an adult, I realize that I am mistaken, but as a child, it seemed to me that someone in Hasbro was making a statement. The Fridge as a member of G. I. Joe seemed to say that evil of all types should be stopped. That's what that figure said to me. Even if nobody else was going to do anything about it, in the world of G. I. Joe, wrongs would be righted. I guess I've talked myself into voting for the Fridge. I'm not going to comment in any other way. I won't get dragged into a debate about this. |

Wedge, I don't know the history you're talking about, but it's still a touching endorsement of Fridge, more than I expected. Fridge is still too goofy and GI Jane should be in by now in my opinion. She has the most play in Hama continuity of all the poll candidates. That counts a lot to me.
What is cool, 20 votes in, this is anyone's race. Add Sneak Peek and Hard Master. edit: I figured it was a football thing, I have always disregarded Football as something people should do. I looked up all those guys, and no worries, they all paid the price with their bodies and are not doing too well these days, although they claim they would do it all again, and were playing to maim all that time.

Da Fridge! I loved mail-in-in characters! He was the Joe Trainer - so it's ok if he wasn't 'exactly' military! Plus, he made a great addition to my JWF - Joe Weestling Federation!
Add Candy Appel (Bongo!) and Budo (I know he wasn't exactly military either, but he should be in my now just bc he was a great action figure with great accessories!)

Ditto. I'm with you. I always loved Claymore. He was the first infantry officer for the Joes. His file card, although not written by Hama painted a picture of a badass. Special Forces, Vietnam vet (there aren't that many), Ivy league graduate, and the first exclusive figure. The yellow didn't appeal to me but I was able to overlook it.
Cobra officers were one of my favorites too. I agree with the sentiment of not voting for troopers, but at this point part of the importance of these characters are their figures. I only had one and he was part of my first Christmas haul back in 82. He is just as important as the OG13. Reserving my vote for a tie-breaker. I like the Fridge but I'm hoping for a tie or if not to keep someone off the bench.
