Who is the latest Joe released that you like?

[ProgMatinee]

Uh, No.

PoC = Pursuit of Cobra. That is the follow up to RoC. So these figures just came out. That beats you by a decade or so I think.

no i meant my taste as a child was better because I didn't buy any of the neon or international crap after the 91 line. i remember even the good characters from 92 came with weapons that looked like they were made in playdough.

so i'm just teasing that I had taste. well that and I was 14 by then...

The latest figures I have any recollection of are Beachhead and the Viper. 1985 is the last year I really cared, and my favorite was the Snow Serpent.

Looking at post-1985 now, I think Beachhead is the best of the later figures. BAT, Lowlight, and Tunnel Rat are cool, but I haven't seen anything I like past that.

You had "taste?" Or were your tendencies to be cheap setting in at 14?

Yeah. The foil covered comics... I tapped out after the Iron Man anniversary. That's where it dawned on me that they were just trying to tap collectors intravenously.

That is why you are cheap now, you wasted your money on all those worthless 90's gimmick comics

 

[ProgMatinee]

i know, i won't make the mistake of paying full price on anything ever again! $26 Cobras FTW can't wait for Duke to come out so I can wait until he hits clearance too! Woot

 

[Roy The Sunderer]

I agree with Mando. The 1994 Shipwreck was the best figure in the last year of the original Joes.

 

[EVILFACE]

Of the 94 year, i think Joseph Colton was the best.

 

[Skiman]

I don't know who that is.... and probably best that I shouldn't.

 

[thenammagazine]

Mail away green beret figure. Basically they honored the oldschool 12" in 3 3/4" size.

Outback was the last Joe I bought, but before that it was Raptor. Always liked the figures that came with the animals, you know?

I was close to the end of my Joe days when I bought Outback. In fact I'm not sure he was even played with that much but I always thought he was cool and I liked his specialty. I think mine even had the flashlight still when I sold it because of lack of use.

Now that Beachhead is on the brain, another later Joe I liked was the SWAT team-looking version of Beachhead.

I didn't realize I was still getting Joes as late as 93, but I guess I was.
