What was your first GI JOE toy???

[Darthrazz]

My first was a talking 12" Bearded Joe that eventually went bald!

From the 3 3/4" line my first was Flash and Clutch with the Jeep, got them both for my 8th Birthday.

Mine was Scarlett. But the only one I can remember buying was Beach Head.

3 & 3/4" Stalker. I don't know what made me buy him. I guess I just thought of whatever is the 6 year old equivalent of "That guy looks bad ass."
But he and Flint are two of my favorites, so maybe I just like the hats.

Won him in a 1983 Christmas gift exchange when I was in the fourth grade. I was hooked!

Barbecue and Snake Eyes were my first. I was around 7 or 8. I stole them from a zayer store. Took them off the card, shoved them down my pants and ran home.

Airtight was my first Joe too. I think the first one my brother got was Blowtorch.

Same here...also the first one I broke I started picking the line up again when the cartoon came out.

 

[DarthNeil]

Stalker (straight arms from '82-- not the swivel one from the picture) plus the ram motorcycle...

Good times.

 

[Patient Zero]

Mine was the HAL gun with the figure Grand-Slam. Those were the days.

All the original 11. I remember picking them up in a trip to Prescott Arizona, back in the day.
