Interesting question, and I had to think about this one a bit - I think what it came down to was execution, rather than design. In that case for me the big miss was Scarlett. Obviously one of the main characters in the history of the line, and the figure was...not that great, especially the face/head sculpt. Not sure if this was the teams first crack at sculpting a woman or what, but the results are quite sub par compared to a couple years later with LJ/Baroness. I really wish they would have taken another stab at her in 85 or so.

By the time her v2 came out the line was just too far gone at that point.

I know I am in the minority but I don't like any of the 82 figures. Even as a kid I didn't like them. Their sculpts are just way too bland and don't live up to later figures.
In 82 - I also don't like the MOBAT In 83 - I don't like Covergirl - her head sculpt is pretty bad. In 84 - I don't like tan Grunt. In 85 - I love everything. 85-89 were my favorite years |

Oh, and the one vehicle of that timeframe that I really don't like is the Silver Mirage - other than that I really like pretty much everything from 82-85, some more than others, but it's all pretty solid.

I disliked Torpedo. His oxygen mask did not connect to his backpack and he always had his mask on. You can only use him in an ocean environment to make sense.
At least for Snow Job, I can just assume he's always cold.

LOL. I remembered seeing that in the comics and it was just so hilarious. It was because of G.I.Joe that made me think that Navy SEALs were only water operators. I didn't realize they spend a very small portion of their operations in the ocean, even though I did know the name stood for Sea, Air, & Land.
