Equipment: G.I. Joe Classified Series Special Missions Cobra Island Beach Head

Back in the day, I would get together with my friend Mike and we would play with our G.I. Joes together.

I know that it would have been easier to have two Beach Head figures but we had a no duplicates rule.  Now, G.I. and Beach Head has made a very triumphant return and I want him on my team.

Joe kept the line going for a few more years but by the end of the decade G.I. Joe disappeared from shelves. Continue reading
