Progress of GI Joe Action Figures

Due to the unpopularity of the War in Vietnam, GI Joe sales took a dip by 1970. He was reinvented in the seventies with the addition of several new but smaller-sized models, and an archenemy-a terrorist organization called Cobra. Since Cobra action figures were also sold, every kid could have whole battalions of troops to mount battles across floors and beds.

Indiana Jones - The character of Indiana Jones is a fictional adventurer, an archaeology professor and an OSS agent. George Lucas is the creator of this character. Indiana Jones appeared in the film 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' in 1981 and the chain continues since then. Today, there are TV shows; comics, novels, video games etc are made after this character. And, the Indiana Jones action figures are hugely popular.

What Should I Collect?

I. Joes, while not as muscular as the Thundercats, still looked physically fit and generally included accessories such as machine guns, knives, and grenades. Can you really argue that these weren't designed for boys? That isn't to say that girls never played with them, but that's not what the marketing companies had in mind.

Movies, Star Wars, wrestling, baseball, cartoons, TV, Simpsons, PC Game figures......

Be friendly to other collectors and don't be afraid to share good buys or valuable information with others. They might return the favor some day and help you obtain a hard-to-find item. Other collectors are simply enjoying their hobby as you are...they are not necessarily competitors. It's a big world out there, and many folks just enjoy certain figures!

This is what I usually do, or I buy a good condition second-hand figure for display and a carded one to be kept.

With a popular animated series and movie, Batman is also a favorite action figure. The oldest superhero of the bunch, Superman, has been slowly but surely making a comeback. With a popular Superman-themed television series and a major motion picture on the way, it is safe to say that Superman action figures will never stray far from the top of the list.

During the following years, G.I.Joe saw a few shifts in the war theme by being re-launched as "The adventures of G.I.Joe", and later on as "Adventure Team" to try to move away from the war theme associated with the Vietnam War. The original line of 12 inches G.I.Joe ended in 1976 in America.
