1993's massive slate was a result of the strong sales of 1992. I'd even argue the many repaints added to the Battle Corps line were an attempt to pad out the assortment.

Kirk Bozigian says that the top two years were 1986 and 1993. See his audio interview about Mega Marines on this page:

I'd love to see the Joe line's sales in the 90s compared with the other big brands - TMNT, Power Rangers etc. Just to see how much waning sales caused the line to end as opposed to the Kenner/Hasbro inner-turmoil. If Barbie and Lego ran pretty much continuously then I am sure the GI Joe line could have remained a force in the market place.
