KUNG FU GRIP BABAY!!!!

 

[eSGEe]

WTF is this thread about???

 

[Mitch Pearrow SJMP]

Steve Austin. Not me. Too old and too cool for that. I had one of the original 12” GI Joe’s. Wish I still had that one.

I had another 4 of them, the deep sea diver was one of my favorite ones.
And the one that had the battery powered submersible sled , it was orange in color, as was the wet suit that came with the figure.

This was in the 60’s

 

[Cadorman]

Hell, I had the submarine that used a vacuum pump to submerge and surface. The sailor version of Joe with kung fu grip and syphilis. Started with the talking G.I. Joe's. Of course this was after Johnny West.

 

[eSGEe]

did you have sea monkeys?

 

[Cadorman]

No, but I a buddy that tried them multiple times. We could never see those little bastadges.

Yep. Me to. Started with ships and planes. Moving to cars. Blew up all my plastic model ships with a BB gun. In hind site. That was kind of stupid. Sure was fun at the time though.

I think Im still stoned from the haze......

 

[Cadorman]

I built model ships and planes at the same time. My cousin and I would occasionally float a battleship down the creek behind his house loaded with firecrackers. All the G.I. Joe's had a fiery death in a huge battle. We got to have so much fun as kids. I feel sorry for the current children.
