"He stole my lighter..."
I loved this movie soooo much as a kid (and, honestly, still do.) It's so silly but so awesome. I watched it over and over again, taped off of HBO. This was basically a live-action GI Joe movie before the cartoon even happened. |

Man.. I wish Boss Fight or Zica or someone would grab this license but I don’t want figures without the vehicles.

but they were never explicitly a part of the US Military. None of the vehicles had any US Military markings besides the Skystriker, which also included GI Joe logos to use instead, and only included the US logos so you can make it look like the classic one. Likewise, none of the filecards or other such info tied GI Joe to the US military. Yes, certain characters had military backgrounds, but that doesn’t mean the GI Joe team was in fact a part of the US armed forces.
1) Why was the JOE team's commanding officers, (Austin, Flagg, Abernathy, and Colton) U.S. Army generals? 2) Why are they stationed on a U.S. army base? By the way, Fort Wadsworth is real place that I've been to. 3) Why do they wear military uniforms (e.g. at Gen. Flagg's funeral and the awards ceremony at the end of Retaliation? 4) Why was one of the JOEs awarded a Purple Heart? It was in one of those mid 40's issues of the Marvel run.

Maybe read Yeet's ENTIRE post and you'll realize why your questions don't apply. Pay close attention to the first sentence.
Hint: Almost all that stuff you bring up was WAY pre-2008. Last edited by Jmacq1; 05-17-2021 at 11:18 AM.. |

Mind you if they made the vehicles and figures from megaforce (6"scale) I'd push old ladies out of the way to get them. :P |

I might be with you on the vehicles. Not so sure on the figures.
