GI Joe picture of the day: Flint (1994).

The version with black paint highlights on the legs looks better, and the headgear is weird (I think that's a beret?) but this one is still pretty good.

GI Joe picture of the day: Action Marines (1994).

One of these guys is from the KB Toys Original Action Team, the other one isn't. AFAIK they're identical, but as an 11-year-old I was hyper vigilant in making sure they didn't get mixed up. Eventually they did, of course, so now I have no idea.

GI Joe picture of the day: Starduster knows if their roles were reversed, the Cobra would let him bleed out. But being the good guys means that doesn't matter. So it's Jetpack MEDEVAC time.

The DEF arrives. I generally like to focus photos on toys that would've been on the market at the same time--in adjoining years, or maybe 2 years apart. But I'll make an exception for the Tomahawk because Hama used it so consistently in the comics right up to the very end. It goes with everything.

GI Joe picture of the day: Viper (1986).

Vipers were gone from retail when I got into Joes, but they were one of my prized finds at flea markets; I could never get enough--but I also never had enough rifles to go around. So the AP AK was a good substitute.
