A thread of my previous GI Joe dio-stories. First, Sierra Gordo:
Sierra Gordo, mid-1987: A team of US-backed counterrevolutionaries gets a last-minute briefing from their G.I. Joe advisor before leaving on a raid against Cobra. (This is part 1 of 50 in my #SierraGordoDioStory, from late 2020. It's set between GI Joe comic issues 64 and 69.)
GI Joe picture of the day: Destro's the only one with swivel-arm battle grip, and that's why he's in charge.

Featuring Destro (1983), Terror Trooper (Black Major 2010 or so), and Cobra Troopers (1982).

A look back at the Funskool Lady Jaye:

Not a big difference from the Hasbro figure other than overall quality.

After Storm Shadow defected to #GIJoe, Cobra Commander went through a succession of personal body guards until he settled on Bulwark - a former Flak-Viper & MMA fighter, he’s the only Cobra to win a no rules cage fight against Big Boa

GI Joe picture of the day for #TechnoViperTuesday: Ever since Special Missions #20 (Snowblind), I've thought Techno-Vipers make the perfect backseaters for WOLFs.

GI Joe picture of the day: Lift-Ticket (1986). He's mediocre, but still deserves to stand on his own without his helicopter sometimes.

The Classified update got all the hype. But, this Stalker update is the best figure in the 3 pack.

GI Joe picture of the day: Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow (1997) defeat a pair of Shadow Night Creepers (1994).

These were only 3 years apart. But to me they're different universes. By late 1997 when they came out, I hadn't seen any o-rings on the shelf for a couple years (as a teenager, a long time!)
