I didn't realize that the figure was actually called Ice Cream Soldier. I figured it was just a nick name the figure had gotten over the years. I really don't even remember the figure, well I only remember a hand full of the figures from 94.
As far as lame and/or forced figures go I would say the Street Fighter figures. I had at least two that I can remeber but looking at them now I can see why I didn't like the figures even though I was a big Street Fighter fan. |

#1 on the list is Sgt. Slaughter. That's a no-brainer! Trying to bank on the popularity of wrestling by sticking the military looking guy in was ridiculous. But unfortunately most Joe fans fell for it. That was the lamest thing in the history of GI Joe, I was embarrassed to be a Joe fan when that happened. Then to make things worse, they made him out to be a super hero that could take on the entire Cobra army all by himself.
While they were at it, they should have stuck one of the Village People in as well. Or all of them! |

Sgt Slaughter, Fridge, Bazooka, Hardball, and any other Joe I have forgotten who had any irrelevant connection to sports, or wore sports paraphernalia.
And any Joe who wore bright colors. What's up with Tracker, Eco Force, and those guys? Even Scarlet looks silly in purple and orange. Lightfoot - great chareter in the comic, but what's up with the Kindergarden yellow and blue? The Cobras just seem to wear stupid colors far better. Budo seemed kind of gimicky to me (shall we have a guy dressed up as a gladiator or Medieval knight next?), but for some reason he worked. Can't explain why.

hmmm, I think allot of the ROC figures were "under cooked" to say the least. Mainly its exclusives that are at fault.
Red Fang Viper though not an exclusive has to be my least favorite brand new joe idea. I have to say everything from 1992 - 1994 doesnt get me angry. If I was to start collecting O-rings that is where I would start. Besides the classics.

Eco Warriors, why wasnt Airtight leader of this team, instead of Flint anyway?
D.E.F, it was a cool idea, but it never caught on with me. Ninja Force, did we really need SS and SE to change into new outfits and 3 new Joe ninjas, when we had Scarlet, Quick Kick, Jinx and Budo, who could have been in this team, even though i liked them at the time. Sonic Fighters was just an excuse to use old molds. Mega Marines, i never really liked this idea, Mindbender making monsters? Its abit too sci fi for me. Space Brigade, i hated the idea of space battles, i never liked when the joes went into space in the comics. Tiger Force was cool, but was just an excuse to sell old molds and make more money. But they are cool looking and i bought them at the time. Python Patrol, same as above. Slaughter's Marauders, same as TF. Battle Corps, horrible outfits on Joes that we already had. They changed the outfits on some of the best Joes and Cobras and gave them strange coloured weapons.
