That is a well done site. RAH had some of the best package art.

Can't wait for Scrap Iron to be made.

No problem, guys.

I don't think I've ever seen the uncropped art for the original mail-away hooded Cobra Commander before. Awesome!

Sweet site. For the sake of completion, is there a site that has the card art from the later years?

'83 is another great year and probaly my third favorite with '84 being my #2. I think the thing that pushes '85 over the edge is the Cobra troop choices and vehicles. Although the Skystriker and the Dragonfly did kick all kinds of ***! :rock

Best Joe year ever! :rock :rock :rock

Agreed 100%. Not only that, but I consider the 1985 GI Joe series of toys to be the best toys of *any* kind from any year, period. Though I give props to anyone who holds any of the "peach filecard" years in high regard. I love a lot of 1986 and a fair amount of '87 but those first four years were pure gold.

Sideshow should bookmark that site as their *only* source for reference material when designing figures from those years! :lecture

Sorry, guys.... 1983 > 1985. But '85 is great, too.

And that's why I sold all my collectible toys when I was single. :lol The wife rolls her eyes at my involvement in these online discussions but thinks the figures themselves are actually pretty cool.

How can you not geek out at every figure's full card art and a year by year virtual museum? :rock :duff
