Has anyone tried installing all of the 60th Anniversary diver gear on a Torpedo figure ?

I notice that Hasbro design overlord warden has hinted that Gi Joe Accessory sets of some kinda might be a possibility.. though he did seem to be leaning more in the direction of alt heads than gear or playsets or Mini-vehicles from what I could tell.

I'm not surprised Hasbro doesn't do many "gimmicks" these days even firing rockets are mostly gone from their toys.

💯, cannot understand why these things are so popular.

That said...the new Funko Fusion video game that's coming looks like it will be pretty fun, but I think that's more of a testament to its Licensed properties than the big square headed dead eyed figures themselves.

I'll be honest, I've thought about collecting GI Joe, classic Trek, He-Man, OT Star Wars and Disney park Pops! before. But I know it's a rabbit hole and one I am not willing to go down.

I did pick up the Serpentor Pop whenever that one came out. I have the Gorn from Star Trek and a Figment one from EPCOT. No more! Hahahaa

Pretty cool and a great song that captures the spirit of GI Joe circa 1986!

Now I want to try and sync some Joe footage to some '80s tracks lol

I love Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler. Great mashup with 80s Joes.

Knopfler is one of the best guitarists from that late '70s to mid '80s era for sure.

He also made the soundtrack for the Princess Bride which was great. Came out in 1987 when a lot of great Joe figures were made and now are popping up in Classified. And that?s how it ties into this thread. Joe figures and Princess Bride scratching my retro itch.

The riff from Money For Nothing is to guitar what Baker Street is to saxophone
Easily one of the best songs ever

I just woke up and was looking around and saw this too! I hope people who have not been able to do so yet order it.
