As a kid, I loved reading the file cards. I used them and the comic to provide an outline for how I played with my Joes. I just think about this spazzy kid who had no clue and used to use Snake Eyes as a Cobra. "DAT'S WHY HE'S NAMED SNAKE EYES AND HE'S ALL BLACK LIKE BAD GUYS ARE!" Then he'd have SE speak in a robot voice. He also said I was gay because I had a Scarlett figure. Whatever, dude.

As a kid, I hated Canadian cards but only managed to get a few Joes from the US. Because they have to put French on the cards, they would delete half the info on the filecards so they can have French and English on the cards. It actually caused me to really hate the language laws in Canada that requires French. Of course, that's a moot point now cause I can see all the full filecards online.

Larry Hama written filecards were pretty important to who the characters are.

Not the French French ones though. The European filecards were apparently written by someone else and appear, from my experience, to contain the same info (as one another, though different from the US cards), despite the language differences.
I wonder if we could arrange a round up and get those added to YoJoe....

Ah yes I see what you mean - that was how the ROC filecards were for us over here (and tbh I don't think we missed much, which is a shame). |

I like the file cards. As a kid, they sort of made the figures come alive. That's what I liked about Joe --- you could disregard the file cards and make your own story, or you could use the file cards as a guide. I also used the Marvel comics as a guide. Since LH did the cards and the comic, they gelled together real well.

I wouldn't mind having a set of them, I picture them in an index card box, though it would probably take a number of boxes to keep them all. I like the card art too.
