My first and only GI JOE (1964?) didn’t last long, the elastic band that held his arms in place connected thru his chest cavity broke in a few months. Never got another one. But my neighbors older brothers, Both GIs and Marines, and my cousin (Navy)who went to Vietnam over the next couple of years were my heroes, not a doll.

That would be extremely sad if your hero was a doll.
