Sorry if something like this exists, I'm rather new. So, what are your 15 favorite weapons or accessories from the old Joe line? Anything from a regular carded figure (No Zartan, Serpentor, etc). I suppose I would rank (no particular order):
1. Storm Shadow version 1 - backpack, ninja bow, ninjato and kodachi. I think was kind of universally loved, and went well snapped onto Snake Eyes version 1. 2. Scrap Iron - that rocket launcher with base and remote was just too cool. No Star Wars or Joe figure up until then had anything so sophisticated or technical. 3. Firefly version 1 - loved the submachine gun, radio, and backpack that exposes his tool kit, charges, dynamite and things like that. It truly made the character an artist of destruction. 4. Snow Job - snow skis AND poles that snap onto a backpack, with a freakin' laser rifle? Awesome stuff for a 4th grader. 5. Undertow - sure his little aquatic vehicle was cool, but a trident for close combat and a trained attack barracuda? He may not have looked as cool as a Hydro Viper, but he certainly came equipped for the job. 6. Storm Shadow version 2 - the red ninjato, while a little bright for a ninja weapon, is my favorite of the ninja swords, and fit perfectly into his backpack. And I can't say enough how much I loved his compound bow and claw. 7. Scarlet - crossbow! Simple, clean, and went well with any ninja, commando or infiltration figure. 8. Roadblock version 1 - sure the 2nd version's machine gun had a more character friendly tripod, but man that .50 was a great accessory for any base, bivouac, pile of dirt, ditch, you name it. 9. Hit and Run - the duffel bag, the bowie knife and the 9mm chambered AR, all very cool and detailed. 10. Snake Eyes version 2 - what's cooler than an Uzi? An Uzi with a sword and backpack, that comes with a wolf! 11. Mutt - a suppressed MAC-10, a nightstick, protective helmet and facemask, along with an attack dog. Great accessories, truly. 12. Ripper - while they recycled Snow Job's laser rifle and just added a magazine and scope, the addition of the massive bayonet was pretty interesting, and his backpack, while kind of hard to find a use for, was pretty fun for tearing up a Dragonfly or Sky Striker! 13. Alley Viper version 1 - a bright orange and blue riot shield, cool face mask, a unique submachine gun and backpack with awesome little details. I always loved that Cobra had their own urban pacification SWAT guys. 14. Snow Serpent version 1 - loved the functional and simple AK with folding stock, the mortar weapon, the snow shoes and the parachute pack. He truly looked like a Warsaw-Pact snow trooper (I was a huge Red Dawn fan lol). 15. Flint - just a simple backpack, but that cut down pump-action shotgun was something I usually gave to a Dreadnok; it just had that cool factor. |

Good call on Zap's bazooka. I had a bunch of them lying around from buying those weapon packs lol, everyone had access to one. And I also loved Footloose's LAW.
