Random Thoughts and Lists

Top 5 Missions that Show G.I. Joe is running out of Adventures
1) Peril of the Tax Audit
2) Mystery of the Lunch Meat
3) Search for the Honest Politician
4) Secret Mission to the ATM
5) Search for the Parking Space


Top 5 Names Action Man's Dr. X has been Called
1) Mr. X
2) Professor X
3) Dr. Evil
4) That X guy, what's his name?
5) Murray


Top 5 Vehicles That Would Be Cool for G.I. Joe
1) Carthaginian Elephant
Imagine a 1/6th Hannibal riding a 1/6th war elephant. That would be very cool.
2) Striker
See old episodes of Mail Call for this one.
3) PT Boat
4) 2 man exploration sub
We've had the Sea Wolf for the Adventure Team. We need to see something like this again.
5) Police Cruiser


Top 5 Animals that Need to be Made in 1/6th Scale
We've had some dogs, and lots of miniature apes, along with the cheap plastic animals that dominate many an Adventure Team photostory, but I'm talking about articulated animals done to scale.
1) Elephant
I'd buy a couple if this was released.
2) Gorilla
The pygmy gorilla, either version, just doesn't cut it for me.
3) Lion
This one would be cool if it came articulated and with a "real" mane.
4) Rhinoceros
5) Okapi
If Joe can pursue yetis, he can go after a discovered "cryptid"


Top 5 Rejected G.I. Joe Ideas
1) K.P. G.I. Joe
2) Senator G.I. Joe
3) War Profiteer G.I. Joe
4) Tear Gas Training G.I. Joe
With no gas mask, and special tearing and getting sick action
5) Bucking for Section 8 G.I. Joe
Think Klinger from M.A.S.H.


Top 5 Figured that Should Be Made
1) Villain Poacher
Comes with rifle, ivory handled pistol, safari hat with eagle feathers in the hatband, alligator boots, snakeskin belt, and tiger tooth necklace.
2) Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
A good one this time, with articulation... lots of articulation!
3) Frontier Scout
Something that won't set us back a couple of hundred because the only one out there was made in England in 1973.
4) Die Hard's John McClane
If they can make tons of James Bonds, how about a John McClane. It could come with stolen machine gun, service pistol, lighter, twinkees, and, of course, no shoes.
5) Medieval Highland Warrior
Like from Braveheart, but more historically accurate.
