Vipers are sick. I wish I had been able to keep my head in RAH up to '86.

I have a soft spot for '86, because it was that summer that I sold off all my 82-85 figures because Junior High was starting the following fall. I remember thinking I was too cool to keep action figures but then when the 86 Sears Wishbook came out that Christmas I couldn't help but lust over the Tomahawk, Night Raven, Beach Head, B.A.T.'s and others.

I got my fix through the comics that featured Snakes and Storm Shadow attacking Cobra Island and the debut of GI Joe: Special Missions.

Since I never got to play with the figures from that year I really like the idea of getting them as high end collectibles.

I've got some major 86 coming at yah Khev :monkey3
 
I actually don't remember stopping playing with G.I.Joe. I was 11 in '86. The only two '86 figures I have any recollection of are Beachhead and the Viper. I don't even remember BATS.

My prime was '84. I was already a huge Destro fan, and the addition of Baroness, Firefly, Storm Shadow and Scrap Iron put me through the roof.

I think I might have got my first bass around Christmas time '86 (a hand-me-down from the same uncle who got me into Black Sabbath), so that might explain why Joes fell off the radar.
 
Maybe my love for G.I. Joe is making me see things...

Snakes Eyes PF or version 1 1/6 figure in the middle of this Black and White Friday 2010 teaser?

You guys are turning into Star Wars freaks. :lol That's the Hawkeye deal. You can see his bow poking out of Jason's head. Looks like Elektra (black variant this time?), Jason, Hawkeye and Silver Surfer. Big day for Marvel freaks. :monkey1
