The Scoop

The Mobile Strike Force Team, a G.I. Joe fan club. I would have loved to join this as a kid. Never did. Maybe it was because I lived in Canada. Or maybe the fact that most of the comics I read at the time were DC seventies titles my mom would bring home form the quarter bins. Anyway, below are images of the some of the things you would get when you joined the Mobile Strike Force Team. All images are borrowed from www.yojoe.com, a great site for all things G.I. Joe.

Personalized G.I. Joe Figure!

How cool is this one? A personalized G.I. Joe figure! Well actually the only thing personalized was the file-card as children were asked asked what type of team member they were and what was they're weapon of choice. The figure consisted of repainted parts of other cannibalized Joe figures. There were numerous versions made over the years but the one featured in the ad above was composed of Airborne's torso, Scrap-Iron's legs, Gung-Ho's waist and Flash's arms At least the badge was cool...right?

Hmm, which GI Joe hero are you?
