As the title says, Are there any memorable characters created after the "classic" years?
I got out of Joes after 86-87, so I don't know too much about the later years. Even today, the characters always being talked about came from the earlier years. |

Destro v2 and the IGs, Alley Vipers... Some folks really dug Python Patrol... there's quite a bit of awesome from that era out there, but it did start to drop off a little around that time, IMO.

There were tons of great Vipers: Frag, Range, Rock, Night, Alley, Techno, HEAT, Sludge, and Desert Scorpions. Most of the figures I only wish I had the money to army build came from the post '87 years.

It really went downhill in 92, it started around 90 and just went pretty quickly.

I've always felt that 1990 was the last great year for the ARAH line, and even that year had the writing on the wall.
88, 89, 90 weren't as good as the years that lead up to it, but there was still a lot to like. Figure-wise we got Hit and Run, Shockwave, the Iron Grenadiers and the IG Destro, Night-Creeper, Pathfinder, and Salvo. 89 and 90 were also probably the two best years for Vipers, and there were some pretty cool sub teams like Python Patrol and Sky Patrol. Vehicle-wise, we got some pretty cool big ones like the Rolling Thunder, Thunderclap, and the General. The Hammer is still one of my all time favorite vehicles, and by far my favorite Jeep they ever made. The Hiss 2 and Warthog were both really cool troop transports. I don't know, I could go on for a long time. I think that those years still held up to the previous ones. In 1991 the figures were still really cool, but the vehicles really dropped off. |
