OH MY GOD!! I love it!!! I come from a military family! Even though I had three sisters and one brother, I wanted to be a soldier. My brother and I are only a year and a half apart, and I hated Barbie Dolls, so I used to steal his G.I. Joes! By the way, he’s a Captain in the Army now! Hehehe! Anyway, my Mom got sick of me pawning my Barbies off to my little sister, and when I was ten, I got the best gift ever! Well, me and my brother each got one!
A G.I. Joe (with buzz cut fuzzy hair), with official action Kung Fu Grip and a Parachute! SCORE!!!!!
I just sent him the link to this movie and he hasn’t been this excited since we were ten!
The best was we would toss our GI Joes out the window to watch the parachutes deploy, except they didn’t,(we felt like Ralphie from A Christmas Story “Don’t Forget To Drink Your Ovaltine? Assholes!”), and they would end up in the back yard of our “crazy cat lady” neighbor! At night, my brother would belly crawl under the bushes to rescue the GI Joes! Funny, he still does that today!
Freakin’ G.I. Joes Rock!!!!!!!
I wonder, does Dennis Quaid have the official action Kung Fu grip?
