GI Joe


So this whole 80's revival for me just means the best cartoons I grew up with. GI Joe and Transformers of course are the two best by far. Transformers has seen a bigger revival lately because you can buy the first three entire seasons of the show on DVD now, which is fantastic; especially after you get through the first season. Season 1 has a lot of weird errors in coloring the characters and the plots aren't too interesting.

I'm a total sucker for the stuff anyways. I saved my olf TF's collection from when I was a kid and have them now proudly displayed on my shelves, but also in Toys R us they have been re-releasing the old toys from 1984. I've gotten almost all of them for $30 a peice! I'm crazy i think, I even got some that have only come out in Japan, including the Megatron toy which will never come out in the US because he transforms into a realistic handgun. I always wanted that when I was a kid but they never had it in stores. Now I've paid 80 buck to get it, they must have had us all figured.

Its too bad GI JOE of the 80's hasn't really come back. It seems really pertinent to today since they were formed to fight evil terrorist organizations! You can't get any more evil than COBRA. Cobra commander was so great, by far the best voice in any animated series ever! (also was starscream in TF's)
