G.I.Joe ‘Doctor Mindbender’ Discussion by Mitchell Smith!
Welcome to the Outpost, today I’m going to talk about one of my favorite Cobra characters, Dr. Mindbender. Dr. Mindbender was a favorite of mine and I first got him for Christmas in 1986. Another unique creation with his purple pants, bald head, and black cape always made him stand out to me. He was a huge part of the G.I.Joe cartoon so he was really easy to fall in love with because he had a lot of focus on him. The mad scientist trying to create ultimate soldiers, among all the other pretty weird things that were happening in his lab including Serpentor.
Sadly I lost my original figure. I’m not sure where he went. I always had a feeling he got buried in my backyard but I could never find him. There is a possibility one of my brothers buried him or blew him up because they knew how much I liked Dr. Mindbender LOL. It wasn’t very long though, maybe the following year I got a second Mindbender and honestly he got lost in the shuffle somewhere as well. I do have few figures of him now, the original and some of his many upgrades. He might not be conventional but he did create many great moments in the cartoons and many great adventures in my imagination. Who else had the original 1986 Mindbender? MAKE THE JUMP to the forums and let us know. Also, be sure to Check in tomorrow at some point I will have another discussion. Stay safe all.
