Here we go again! Now we have the 1984 series of figures and there are some REALLY heavy hitters in this wave. Now, there are 11 carded figures, so I had to move one of them to the vehicle driver poll. I chose Blowtorch, since I figure he probably wouldn't get as many votes in this poll, anyway. As usual, once these two polls end, I'll put the top vote getters into a definitive poll.
For this series, I chose Storm Shadow... my absolute favourite G.I. Joe figure of all time. Link to the vehicle drivers poll: https://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-j...vers-mail.html

I voted Ripcord.
Either Storm Shadow or Firefly will win based on popularity, but Ripcord is the only traditional military looking figure this year. Duke I don't like, Roadblock is kinda like the A-Team. Ripcord is subtle, easy to overlook, but straightforward and just right. Good paint apps, great accessories, and a needed specialty.

Easily firefly.
His sculpt was perfection. Although Stormshaow was more popular that sculpt is pretty bland.

I can't pick just one. This was easily my favorite year in the lineup. Look at that list. So many legends there.

I feel bad voting against Storm Shadow, but Firefly narrowly takes it for me, just for his camo colors and the card art, even though Storm Shadow's card art is probably THE most iconic Joe figure artwork. But when we get to 1988, it will absolutely be Storm Shadow. Version 2 is perfect.

Scrap-Iron, how can you not love a guy with balls to go on a battle field with a missile system he has to set up before firing, and only 2 missiles, plus a great looking character, unique

Baroness for me. As soon as you saw the art you thought "this lady is Cobra, and she's badass".

Baroness. Essential character. Badass female villain instead of CC or Destro's moll. I can't imagine G.I. Joe without The Baroness.
