As many toy fans of the 1980s know, G.I. Joe was one of the most popular and successful in the history of action figures. It started as a vehicle heavy toyline but changed over time as the figures became more popular than the vehicles. Due to the diversity and creativity of the variety of figures available, many favorites emerged over the decade. Recently, on the G.I. Joe forum,
