As I remembered, they didn't come to conquer the earth,they came to kick the ass of the person who said: "So easy that a caveman can do it!"

I didn’t know there was a Caveman G.I Joe… Why does it have any weapon? A club would be nice.

I love the expository lyrics to the Big Trapper jingle: "Big Trapper's got a cage so you can trap the intruder!" Everybody sing along!

Oh, and that Action Man commercial may be the greatest commercial ever filmed. It had everything.

I really miss my Big Trapper, Capture Copter, and Intruder. I still have some Joes and my Bulletman somewhere.

There’s something genuinely creepy about the ad close up you have at the top of this post. The Intruders may have been shoeless and unarmed, but they were a little on the scary side (especially their high cut short shorts).

The problem with trying to turn Joe into a superheo team, IMHO, is that you alady had some pretty cool superhero teams already out there. I mean, why play with Bulletman when you can play with Mego’s Superman. Or Atomic Man versus the “real” bionic man? You get my point.

From the looks of the Intruder, Hasbro was simply thinking: Quick! Let’s crank something out. Those kids won’t know it’s cheap in concept and execution!

And I was opposite. I never even heard of the 12 inch G.I. Joe when I was a kid. If they were in the stores, I must have ignored them then. I went from the Fisher Price action figures to Star Wars to the smaller G.I. Joe action figures. I got in on the ground floor when those came out. I couldn’t get enough of them. “Flash” was my first one.
