I had a red and tan camo guy who I can't remember for crap but I seem to remember him being a good "all around" figure that could fill in for "generic action guy". I never wanted the higher up named dudes like cobra commander and stuff because those were too layed out in terms of who they were. Give me "No name helicopter pilot" that I could imagine being good or bad, that's like way easier to imagine up whatever you want for later. It's gonna bother me that I can't remember who/what the red/tan camo dude was tho, he may actually have been a chopper pilot or a rock climber or something idk. e: no it wasn't Duke, even though looking him up he apparently was red and tan camo in the 90s, odd. I don't think I ever had one of him. ee: Found it. Rock Viper. Hell yeah, check out that stache. Who wants to ride THIS snake, LADIES

Years back I worked on a large diorama for a museum here in nyc. The poop expert was also a big nerd so when he was making replica elephant shits he put the head of Dr Zaius from planet of the apes in there staring up at you. I guess if you look carefully you can still find it.

I used to do the opposite and freeze some of my Joes in a big block of ice. In my head it seemed like something Cobra Commander would do, since he's evil and all. And I'd send in  this guy to help free the other. (He was probably my favorite Joe, that snowboard was loving awesome.)

so over on 4chan's /toy/ board someone made a thread asking for help identifying a weird little figure they had from their childhood; that turned out to be a figure from an unusual obscure toyline that basically feels like a halfway point between a regular GI Joe figure and a Battle Beast figure(the military theming of the former, the size and articulation of the latter), the line is appropriately called the Military Muscle Men https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NSyt2GeUgg for a shortlived line it actually had a decent amount of product;   that big cool remote control tank from the commercials might not have actually made it to retail though(which honestly wouldn't be all that surprising, cause that seemed not only really complex and expensive compared to the rest of the line, it also definitely seemed like it would be one of those toys likely to injure some dumb kids and cause even dumber lawsuits to happen), also this is a hard toyline to find any real info on, which is funny cause the company that made them(The Original San Francisco Toymakers) aren't all that obscure in comparison(they held the WCW & ECW licences back in the mid to late 90's) also they probably were at least partially knockoffs of a similar toyline called Men of Medal;  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdhZ5_Lk-lQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6FQxqmiGVU drrockso20 fucked around with this message at 11:54 on May 21, 2020 |

Seeing toys like that and seeing the interviews of the people that owned companies like that on the Toys That Made Us series, I'm pretty sure some of these places were money laundering fronts.

Holy poo poo I totally forgot about the Men of Medal. I had a diver with a yellow helmet blue suit red boots he came with grey flippers and a spear gun. After watching the video that was posted I now know that his name was Gary "The Shark" Shaar. RIP you tiny brave son of a bitch. I'm pretty sure you got sucked down the bathtub drain.

Oh my god I had so many GI Joes. I don't even remember them being that big a part of my childhood and probably only played from like 8-10 but I had 90% of the ones posted in this thread. This is the first one I remember getting and for some reason I thought it came with this boat but apparently they were sold separately.

So, uh... no mention of why he's got a fish. Or even that he's got a fish. Maybe he's always followed by a fish and no one likes to mention it.

As silly as he is, that does sound like a legitimate niche for urban waterways, especially given that's likely where stuff you want to steal is.
