You're looking at the very first prototype of G.I. JOE, hand-carved by designer DON LEVINE back in 1963. Just as well they chose another face for the finished article, as the fella in the photo looks about as hard as a soggy cornflake. BARBIE's boyfriend KEN could've given this milksop a good kicking - and he's about as tough as wet noodle. Ah, how different would've been the fate of all mankind had the constipated clown above turned up in shops instead of the real deal that made his debut in '64. ('66 in Britain - and with a different name - ACTION MAN!)
A cascading cornucopia of cool comics, crazy cartoons & classic collectables - plus other completely captivating & occasionally controversial content! With nostalgic notions, sentimental sighings, wistful wonderings, rueful reflections, remorseful ruminations, melancholy musings, poignant ponderings & yearnings for yesteryear! (To say nothing of a few profound perplexities & puzzling paradoxes thrown in for good measure.) Plus a bevy of beautiful, bedazzling, buxom Babes!
