[edit] Reorganization needed
This article is good, but needs some major reorganization since it leads off with G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero which is only a later permutation of the action figure. It should lead off with the 12-inch war figures, then move on to the Adventure Team, then the 3 1/2 inch toys/comic book/cartoon, and end with the revival of both the Real American Hero and War-themed G.I. Joes in recent years. I plan to do the revision myself when time permits, but I thought I'd give those more closely involved with the creation of the article a chance to tackle it first.

[edit] The "Characters" section
There was a VFD debate about one of the characters, Fred VII (Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Fred VII). I have tried adhering to the consensus there by merging an abbreviated version of that article with this article, but that has left a slightly awkward "Characters" section in the article. Hope somebody can do a better job of this than I can. Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:39, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Action Force merger
The Action Force article is in effect a subset of the Action Man line more than GI Joe.GraemeLeggett 09:45, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Suggestion
Essentially these articles (Action Force and G.I. Joe) should be merged just to show the evolution of G.I.Joe outside the United States. Maya Levy
[edit] Fixed some
Well, I took the time to organize the Overview section. Renamed it Incarnations, just tell me if it's a bad idea or not. Did some editing, fixed some spellings and grammars. I have to say the first part looks better now but, yes, still needs lots of work.
Yes, I think this article needs to cover the G.I. Joe line as a whole from the 12" series to ARAH to Sigma 6. We can always add an article for each line of Joe that gives more information, just like Transformers.
[edit] Fenslerfilm
Shouldn't there be some mention of the infamous fenslerfilm PSA's? You know, Porkchop sandwiches and all that?
[edit] Skip it
Looking at the history of the fig, shouldn't his "almost" incarnations be mentioned? As I heard it, he nearly came out as Skip the Frogman & Rocky the Marine Paratrooper. Also, give due cred to Gene Roddenberry (he rules!), writer on "The Lieutenant"... Trekphiler 23:59, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
The problem here is that whatever site they were hosted on would quickly fall.
[edit] colin powel

[edit] Can someone help me?
I'm not sure, but recently i saw my first G I Joe Cartoon/movie, i think it was called spy troops. Can someone correct me?
It had a new Gi Joe Character named "Faces", who was a master of disguise, and the plot featured around this technological helmet when inserted, the robots acted like the one who wore it, do you understand?

[edit] Added a link to the comics section and added a character list page
July 18th 2006 is when I'm writing this. Network television stations in America were required to show so many hours of educational things per week. So, GiJoe added a brief message at the end of each episode, so they could count the entire half hour as educational.
I edited "barded" to "bearded" because someone had a typo, but didn't bother the artical otherwise.
The first GiJoe cartoons were just a few specials they did, it later becoming a regular series. Years after the first series ended, they had a new one with fewer characters and the theme song "Got to get tough". It was nothing like the original series.
Someone really should create a link to all the characters, the episodes, and other things. There is a lot of interesting information which isn't presented. In fact, I'll go start that now. edit... found they have a comics page already, and added a link to it from this artical. Also added a new page for character list.
Since they weren't allowed to have beer in their shows, the gang member bad guys such as the Dreadnots, were obsessed with drinking grape soda in the comic book. Dream Focus
[edit] Tuskegee Airmen
The Tuskegee Airmen article says there are Tuskegee Airmen GI Joes. Details? --Gbleem 12:18, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Classic Collection
I added images of Classic Collection boxes in my possession, but this was deleted? I'm new at this so the format of the page may not have met someone's standards, but a notice or suggestions would have been polite...
EDIT: My apologies. I didn't realize I had created just an image page, which is not allowed. I have rectified this.
[edit] Masterpiece Edition
I've added this to "incarnations", and created a page that illustrates this line.
also added Timeless Collection kaybee, target exclusives links to images, until a separate page just for TC is created.
Hholland 01:20, 5 November 2006 (UTC) Removed store exclusive links, created separate TC page. Please add any details I've missed.
