My 1964 painted black haired, hard-hand 12" GIJOE, I believe to be an Action Sailor-bought for $25 in 1984/5-ish.
The second isn't a Joe-item---its an original edition 1/43 scale Corgi Batmobile.

And the third is the POC wave 3 Snake-eyes. Hands-down my favourite small GIJOE type toy figure. Period. Nothing beats it, and I imagine nothing ever will.

If I had to pick a Joe vehicle..........the Night Attack Copter, sure, its modern, but I think its the best aerial vehicle in the entire line--its just captures my imagination more than anything else they have done.

The upcoming zarana sdcc might qualify.  Considering the slaughter and dial tone madness, I'm thinking the zarana situation will be insane.

Mine would be the FLAGG... i hope to one day get one and share it with one of my other holy grails, my son!  I had a defiant and sold it many years ago.  and then i almost had another one the other night off the bay!  but it slip away!
