When the first commercial came out, (Cobra's captured the attack cannon, etc) A freind of mine called me on the phone 2 minutes later and we were off to what was then known as Woolco. (defunct offshoot of Woolworth's) I was determined to get Breaker as he was the guy off the commercial but when we got there, there was only 4 fidderent figures and Breaker didnt come with a weapon. I wound up getting a SGT Rock figure at that time as he at least came with a gun and I liked the comic book. (It would be another week before I stumbled apon the Marvel comic) When I got home, I mooched another 3,25 off my mother and went back to the mall and got Grunt. My friend, who was more of a Star Wars nut, wound up trading me his Breaker later on. |

My earliest memories include Deepsix and the SHARC. I'm sure I must've had more but I just don't remember. My next earliest memory is of Barbecue and the Mirage cycle. I had a ton as a kid, and I recall playing with them vividly. My 8th birthday came with a ton of joes... Just all hazy as to where it started.
Whiskey, apparently, DOES kill brain cells.

My first were straight arm Short-fuze, Zap, and Rock 'n' Roll. Then I got the cobra trooper and officer (both straight arm too). The first vehicles I got were the RAM, then the FANG and Skystriker for Christmas (got SS then too).

Ah, 1982, it was a very good year. I got Snake Eyes, Flash, and Scarlett. Then I traded a buddy of mine some SW figs for Stalker, Grunt, Rock'n'Roll, and Breaker-he really wanted my Scarlett, though. After that, I was hooked.

Stalker was one of my early ones also, My favourite out of the first series, truth be told. He wore camo, His weapon was cool and his background as told by the filecard made him one of the most versitile Joes then. (For Snake Eyes fans, bear in mind this was 1982-3. his card was full of 'Classified's. and nobody really though of making his character a ninja yet, believe it or not.)
Cobra and cobra officer I really looked forward to when they finally came out. There were no pictures on the back of the packages, just a blurb saying "coming soon". Who else sent off for the non swivel arm Cobra commander? |
