I loved G.I Joes as a child. The weapons were the best part.

Don’t get  me wrong. I wanted to play with G.I. Joe (action figures) when I was a kid, but my dad said they were dolls and wouldn’t let me have any.

You truely missed out. G.I Joes were the best action figures in history.

I think that’s 7…

I used to play football with my G.I Joes and Ninja Turtles. The Turtles would be linemen and the G.I would be skill postion players.

Thats right, Krain the Brain was a coach.

G.I. Joe was awesome growing up.  And I mean the REAL ones (full size, not the cost savings shorties)

That entailed huge sized vehicles too.  I had a jeep with a working spring loaded bazooka.  My friend had the tow behind working spot light for the jeep.  Also had a GI Joe helicopter and a GI Joe Submarine (tub time was never so much fun).

Somehow these were lost (at least to me) after I got married and moved out.
I’m sure the collection would be worth some $ today, but I am not going to lose any sleep over that.

We used to have GI Joe kidnap Big Jim and Ken (Barbie’s boy toy).
When we got older, we’d also do ‘stuff’ with barbie too…
