Dusty, followed by Eco Warriors Flint.

Eco Warriors.

:emperor

Scrap Iron before Major Bludd? Bollocks.

I never owned Major Bludd as a kid. Low priority. Scrap Iron was in my top 5 figures.

 

[snakeeyes171]

eco warriors is the reason gi joe died off in 1993. we see flint in that suit and garb then this line will too.

 

[karamazov80]

Knowing + stopping pollution = battle

 

[EVILFACE]

There was a lot more than Eco warriors that killed Joe.

The main thing was Power Rangers and Hasbro buying Kenner (Star Wars).

 

[saintsyn]

Eco-Warriors may have been the beginning of the end, but Cesspool was a cool looking character...

 

[thenammagazine]

Knowing + stopping pollution = EEEEEEEEPIC FAAAIIIIIIIIII...L....L...LLLL.

Apparently Hasbro felt that they were losing the older children to Nintendo and Sega so they brightened up the colors and went after the younger kids that were still buying up Ninja Turtles and Power Rangers.

Irony being I think if they'd moved in the other direction, back toward realistic military, they would've recaptured the older fans who passed on all the dayglo crap and playdoh.

And Sierra Club memberships.

Thank GOD I was out by then but I think high school started so....

Eco Warriors were seven bucks? Yeeesh! That must be a Kay-Bee Toys price sticker. Overpriced-cause-we-can't-afford-the-mall-rent bastards.

So true! However if you didn't mind trenching through shelves, pegs and aisle floors piled with unorganized ____, they were the place to find the rarities.

Interesting. I am completely opposite of that. I jumped into JOE in '82 and Major Bludd was my first mailaway figure (followed by Hooded Cobra Commander).

Destro, Commander, and Bludd have always been my main Cobra baddies. He was also quite profound in the Larry Hama comics at the time, too. I still remember how shocked I was when he killed General Flagg while escaping Joe headquarters and then shot that one Cobra soldier in the back so he could steal the F.A.N.G. copter. Then there was all the Baroness stuff. Bludd was a great and instrumental RAH character. If Sideshow doesn't make him it's a clear FAIL.

Toss in Baroness and these are the main baddies for me

Scrap-Iron had a pretty dramatic and brutal introducton in the comics as well. Blasting Soft Master with a rocket as he tried to save Billy, Candy, and an innocent civilian from a burning car and then nuking the car for no other reason than to negate the SM's final act of heroism.

Oh, I like Baroness too (how could you not?). She just came a year or two later.

IMHO, the pantheon of main Cobra baddies ranks as so:

1. Cobra Commander
2. Destro
3. Baroness
4. Major Bludd
5. Zartan
6. Storm Shadow
7. Firefly
8. Soldiers, Officers, etc
9/10. Xamot & Tomax



1001. Serpentor


100000015. Anything Cobra-La
