Are you saying GI Joe with the Kung Fu grip is almost as evil as a puppet?

G.I. Joe with the Kung Fu grip IS evil. They added the Kung Fu Grip at the same time they gave into the anti-war activists and turned him from a military man into a orange jump suited "adventurer" who fought for the environment.

Well, out here on the right side of the nation, GI Joe has a super big aircraft carrier with tracking runway lights and appropriate sounds that I just bought for my grandson's 6th birthday next weekend. There were lots of cool choices at ToysRUs, including historical GI Joes from WWII.

I think environmental weenie GI Joe is passe.

I still wish I had the complete set of Star Trek figures I bought for my son. These were 12-inches high and we had ALL of them...Spock, Kirck, McCoy, Uhura, Scotty, and Chekov, plus the bridge. We sold them at a garage sale years ago and I think now they are worth thousands.
