Favorite GI Joe Action Figure
 

Nolanfan - I will have to somewhat agree with you and say it's hard to pick a single favorite Joe. But these 2, IMHO, are far and away superior to others.

I think Storm Shadow may be > than Snake Eyes due to scarcity and that he's a ninja. (I remember the frenzy among my friends for the G1 Storm Shadow, and how eventually finding/buying one was a truly momentous event)

I'm not into polls - if someone wants to post 1 of course feel free to.

i was a total GI JOE FREAK up until and a little after the whole serpentor movement in the early 80's

My favorited ORIGINAL characters besides snake eyes and storm shadow were:

Blowtorch (b/c he could cook flesh!!)
The Twins, Xomax and XXXX (not sure if thats the right spelling)
Torpedo (always patrolling the base underwater)
The dreadnots

My bases:
The JOE Base was the [censored], i had the command center for them & Cobra had ewok village and some sort of oil tanker GI Joe base

Okay, I'm a total dork for knowing this but the twins were named Tomax and Xamot, and the figures were mirror images of each other.

My favorite G.I. Joe was Beachhead, but he didn't come out until 1986.

They were called Tomax and Xamot.

The Aircraft carrier was an awesome 9' long toy.

Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow are the obvious choices, so should be disqualified.

Barring them, some options might be the original Cobra Commander (silver mask not hood), Destro, or possibly Shipwreck.

I enjoyed the GI Joe cartoons far more than the Transformers, despite the Transformers being the greatest toy line ever put out. I need to pick up the DVDs. The shipwreck/insanity episode and Excalibur were great television.

my favorite was the hovercraft and then HISS

WORST TOY EVER: the tank that lays bridges (no kid played on tables, they played on carpet!!)

Its Joe. He had lifelike hair ( and a kung fu grip. When I was a lad they were all called Joe.
