MY FAVORITE G.I.JOE FROM 1993 – STORY BY MITCHELL SMITH!

Welcome to the Outpost. 1993, what can I say about this year? G.I. Joes didn’t really look like a military line anymore. There were a bunch of mail away figures, Street Fighter, Ninja Force, Star Brigade, and very bright Mega Marines. Desert Storm was fresh in the minds of Americans and Hasbro did not jump on making the characters in desert garb. They went a different direction and seemed to try and separate from the military. This is an interesting line though. I like a lot of the figures like Colonel Courage, Mace, and Mirage.

I really like the Star Brigade as a whole but picking my favorite character had me digging these figures out of storage to decide my favorite. Long Arm stuck out at me. He looks like he should be an astronaut but he is actually an initial assault soldier. This dude is real, he will be the first one into a battle and he isn’t sneaking around. He has bright orange to say here I come, get ready. Over all looking at this line on paper and looking at it in hand really is like night and day. This year really had some nice figures and new characters. Who is you favorite 1993 character? Be sure and let us know in the comments below! Make sure to check back for my 1994 pick.
