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.)
A thread of my previous GI Joe dio-stories. First, Sierra Gordo:

So this is how they’re finally going to make Venom, Candy Appel, Billy, and the rest: with included comic books and probably charging $40. Oh well.

GI Joe picture of the day: Cold Front and the Avalanche (1990).
1990 was a great lineup. I especially liked the drivers--the suspense of what exactly the figure would look like and what accessories he'd have--and I remember being disappointed when the 1991 vehicles didn't have drivers.

Very happy to own the cherry lemonade murder robot. I thought it might never happen, but I found one on eBay for $25 shipped. The yellow looks so incredibly nice in person.

The Pilot from the 1994 Action Team is now one of my favorite figures. His head sculpt is perfect. Man I wish they would come out with an Adventure Team set with those gloriously bearded 70s Joes!
