Me too! 10 years old and I loved it.

One of my favorite thing to do with broken figures was to take them apart and make new figures by mixing and matching their parts.

Why do you think the live action gi joe movies did so badly? I thought rise of cobra was really good. Much better than the one with the rock. Iirc the budget for the 1st one was like twice the one that had the rock in it. But the one with the rock did even better box office

Loved it as a kid. Owned the VHS and later the DVD, for nostalgia purposes.

Dont think so. Looks like the old school first four transformers are on something called Hasbro pulse on YouTube.

The opening of the G.I. Joe movie is still a banger.

It's a mixed bag.

It doesn't feel like G.I. Joe. It feels like somebody wrote a five-part pilot for a series based around invaders from Atlantis (or some other "lost empire") and then it got rejected and repurposed as a G.I. Joe movie.

When I think of G.I. Joe, I typically don't think of giant bugs, a winged mutant, or a man who is a snake below the waistline -- though I did have a Golobulus toy as a child. On the plus side, it has a good soundtrack, some damn good action, and peak Sgt. Slaughter.
