Those are the ones I recall seeing available - Amazing. Would be worth the memories alone, don’t need vintage for vintage’s sake.

As I look at Amazon, the prices for these are creeping skyward as well.

I believe there is a reason for that as well.

With the creeping movement of liberalism into everything we see as a society, GI Joe and similar lines are currently being liberalized or even taken out of the market altogether.

These days, it is extremely politically incorrect to take pride in American exceptionalism. Subsequently, it is also a seemingly terrible thing to buy a toy Sherman tank or a US Marine action figure for a child.

I honestly blame a lot of this on the fact that toy companies and liberal mothers seem to unite together in that they don't like the idea of children playing with "war toys."

Even though a considerable number of GI Joe items are dedicated to professions such as emergency rescue and scientific advancement, the "good stuff" is becoming rarer and rarer to find for kids.

Even the children themselves are being subject to liberal lies and brainwashing in the school systems to wrongly believe that uniformed heroes are corrupt.
