Title: Looking For Early Canadian GI Joe FCs
Post by: Tattoo Shane on July 13, 2005, 05:25:50 PM

Title pretty much says it all. I'm looking for Canadian FCs for figures released 82-84...priority for ones with Canadian birthplaces and blank backs.

Also looking for old concumers distibuting catalogues with GI Joe content from 1982-89.

Airborne is from some indian-sounding town in Quebec.

That's all I could find on Yojoe.com that wasn't already mentionned.

Yeah, Aireborne is actually listed as being from that town on the US cards as well. All the of above mentioned ones have unique Canadian birthplaces that are only found on their Cdn earliest cards...kind of a neat little exclusive for us Canucks. :)

Actually, his US filecard lists him as being from the Nahavo Reservation in Arizona.

Well colour me corrected! I had always thought he was one of the few characters with an actual Cdn birthplace.
