GI Joe Facts

The GI Joe brand name was idle for six years before a new line was launched in 1982. This time Joe was scaled down, to a 3-3/4” size already familiar to kids who played with the Star Wars line. This incarnation was very different from previous lines: it was entirely made up of unique characters with exotic code names like “Snake Eyes” and “Scarlett.” The Real American Heroes (as they were known on the packaging) were almost as poseable as the original Joes.

Key to the success of the Real American Hero were endless numbers of figures and affordably-priced vehicles packed with play value. These were promoted in a very successful animated series as well as a popular comic book from Marvel. The line was a huge hit with kids, and the line ran for thirteen years - a span identical to that of the original 12” line. Over this time, the line also changed to try and retain its market share. Ninjas became more prevalent, and concepts like the “Eco Force,” “Drug Elimination Force,” and “Star Brigade” were tried and abandoned.

Anchored by the 3-3/4” line, a 12” GI. Joe was re-introduced in 1992 under the Hall of Fame series, which began as a series of large versions of the most popular 3-3/4” Joes. These figures were not very poseable and remain interesting mostly as a footnote to the modern resurrection of the 12” lines.
