Good old question that pops once in a while.
Since 1982 Hasbro made a whole bunch of GIJoe action figures.
Some were hot and some were not.
To this day, which one is your favorite?

I'd have to say Destro.  I still remember the first time I ever saw him on the pegs and was just blown away.  For a long time (until I saw it in the comic), I thought that it was actually his head that was silver, but the degree of coolness to Destro still hasn't changed for me.  My favorite character for sure!

To this day Lightfoot is still my favorite Joe figure since I was a kid. But Shipwreck still stands out as my favorite character of all time.

The first ARAH Joe I ever got was Airborne, so he remains a favorite of mine. He had the coolest uniform and accessories I had ever seen so I bought him ever though I was in college at the time. Thus began a long and expensive journey that continues to this day. (sigh)
But I'd have to go with Snake Eyes (v 2) as my all-time favorite figure.

*whimper*

i can't narrow it down. Flint and Footloose were the first two i got*. and i loved Flint in the UK comics, he was so badass and not the cocky snot the US version was.

Snake Eyes v2 however is my favourite version of one of my favourite characters...

then there's Airtight. for some reason i really loved that figure as a kid.

and then we've got Ace, who flies my favourite vehicle, the Skystriker....

and on the Cobra side, the Crimson Guard is just fragging cool as ice...

but, since buying them, i've grown to love the v1 Alley and Night Vipers...



*not including the O-ring articulated AF figures or the Grunt figure who was a mail-away in AF series 3 and i got instead of the Commander figure i applied for, because i applied at the end of the Commander offer and got Grunt instead, and he was supposed to be a generic AF infantryman... i never even knew who he was until i got on the net, as he was sent in a bag, with no bio card or anything and for whatever reason, i never bought any of AF S3 as a kid.
