Let's just say, I have more Cobras then Joes in my collection. I went with villains.

The comics influenced me more than I realized (back then). When I started losing interest in the direction of the comics, I stopped getting new toys. I didn't see all the Sunbow episodes until the Shout Factory DVD releases. What they were doing before Iron Grenadiers, Ninja Force, and multiple Cobra Commanders must've been my favorite part of it all.

I chose villains. All those options applied (yes, even realism) to this army brat (who moved constantly).
But the spark always came from the villains. You had a full range of campy and ridiculous to serious and terrifying. And cool uniforms, regardless. I don't think there was a single villain figure in the '80s run that I skipped. EDIT: Forgot about Cobra La. I skipped that three-pack. Last edited by n3rf; 12-31-2023 at 04:26 AM.. |

To paraphrase Larry Hama, while superheroes are a power fantasy, G.I. Joe is a loyalty fantasy.
My favorite part of the property is the camaraderie between the Joes. |

He sounds like a guy who needs better friends. I would like to see the new comic (or any new Joe media) focus more on the team aspect than the individual aspect (as we've discussed before). Show why each member is elite in their field but also develop the relationships and create new friendships within the ranks.

I think one of the best parts of this franchise is the depth of characters.
I'm a fan of several lines, but once you get past the same few main characters in those lines (batman, superman, spiderman, wolverine, luke, han), even while producing alot of characters, the main ones are always going to be the most popular. But with joes, every year we got so many cool characters that could be your favorite. I was there in the beginning in 82, but my favorite character, Flint, or others in my top 5 or 10, like dusty or lowlight, weren't even created until 4 or 5 years into the line. |
