Around 1990 is when i started to loose interest in buying Gi Joe figures so i didn't really complete the set for that year ,and now i am looking at buying the ones i never got to the first time around .
One rare figure that peaks my interest more than others is "Stretcher" his accessories were rather odd looking ,he came with some kind of flying/hovering trianguler vehicle with a windscreen ,and a big huge antenee on his backpack ,i'm assuming by his name he was a doctor or something similar in this profession ,i've tried finding info on him but it is almost impossible to find ? Does anyone have this rare figure ,and if so can you give me some information on him ? thanks |

I never knew he was rare. I have one somewhere, but I can't really locate my old joes.

I don't think he's that rare.
I remember him because he's the Joe medic who tells Dusty that Sneak Peek is dead in the Marvel Trucial Abysmia issues. I don't recall him doing much more than that. |

Well i say that he is rare judging my lack of finding his figure on alot of vintage toy sites,and i have zero luck finding him at local toy shows also .I think the figures from 1990-94 are much harder to find probably because there wasn't such a demand for them at this time and the toyline was fizzing out .
Former Olympic weightlifter ..and doctor ..interesting ,but judging by his vehicle it baffles me how he can transport anyone besides himself on that thing ..looks like a skateboard on steroids ? |

yeah but I read somewhere that they were gonna make the mold Lifeline originally but then switched it and created Stretcher during the design process.
