You know, I remember more of these than I ever expected I would at this age. Cobra Commander and Dr. Mindbender stuck with me even when I was a wee lad. I'd always envisioned their earlier lifetimes in my play. COBRA is such an eglatarian group. You don't need a strong military background, you can come from any job and excell in their ranks.

Someone needs to make a flashback for Cobra Commander. I mean, I've got a pretty good story in my head for his used car salesman life but that doesn't mean I wouldn't love to read it in a comic.

You know, I want to put a new list up so bad, but I just can't bump this one... Really... And I won't.

It's like when Papa told me to take Yeller down, I just couldn't shoot 'im, I loved 'im too damn much. But he had to go, he'd shown his teeth to Momma...

i think i played with g.i.joes well past appropriate age so this wasnt as nostaglic as it was just something i should've already been thinking about as i took a shit on a sunday morning...thanks for bringing it up... the www.yojoe.com webpage is an incredible site full of useful facts..such as which action figures share the same torso and such as well as the assorted weapons pack. hmm..umm....yo joe!

oh man, i thought this was going to be about cobra kai. then i could talk about trAne. i saw Baroness from TN play a couple months ago. pure metal mayhem.
