Which Character Is You?
 

Okay,everybody,inspired by General Scarlett-the Question For Today Is:"Which Joe/Cobra/IG/AF/or International Character Is You? :confused:

Here's what I mean-for our Boss Lady,it's Scarlett-for me,it jumped around a bit-

1982-I was Stalker

1983-1984-had to be Duke

1985-1986-Flint-Hadda' Be! He's Lady Jaye's Man! :p

1987-Falcon-comic style,not Movie.I always liked Green Berets.

1988-'89 Hit & Run-cool character-one of the most realistic uniforms in the line!

1990-91-Duke again-he's a cool Dude!

I kinda took a break for awhile,never quite letting GI Joe go.....got into it again Big-Time in 1996.

I have many favorite characters now,but I'm now working on my "Mary-Sue" Me-As-A-Joe Figure. :D

So Now You Know! :D Lets hear what YOU have to say!

O.K. Max, I think it's Pretty obvious for me....

Flint Nuff Said!!! :cool:

I don't understand....is it "which character did you identify with?" or "which character did you use as you?"

Because I never used a character/figure as me.

As for the former, i sort of identified with...

1982- Grunt probably...

1983- I dunno...not Duke, he was too blonde. :p

1984- Wasn't into GI JOE that much, my brother kept the torch burning while I was distracted by some crappy like Go-Bots or something.

1985- Airtight, thanks to Hama's cleverly written "appeal to the geeks" filecard.

1986- No one that I can recall, not that the character were bad...just felt no connection to them personally.

1987- Crazylegs.

1988- Spearhead, maybe, because he had a bobcat and I had a short tailed cat.

1989- No one that I can recall

1990- Er...not sure. Getting to old by that point. Maybe Overlord, guess I switched sides.

The rest...too old.

Kinda' both,Lava Boss.Your list is just fine! :)

I never projected myself onto a Joe character or vice-versa; I think the characters were too well-defined for me to identify with anyone that closely. In fact, with all toy lines I've ever collected, I certainly had favourites to use but I always took the role of "god" when playing. I'd jump back and forth between different characters and locations (like Joe & Cobra HQ, different teams' & individuals' missions) like I was watching a TV show or movie rather than following one particular guy.

I might have said the Steel Brigade "figure of yourself" but when I sent off for mine I got all Stormer's paperwork with a letter saying they'd run out and here's Tiger Force Duke instead. Finally got a Stormer figure a couple of years ago so give me a bit more time and I'll get more used to "being" one of my Joes, like here:

Then again, in terms of "being" a character, there's always my avatar pic...

duke lol i was born in 1990 soo i'm duke i guess

ok my turn.. :D
ok from 83 to 87, i just didn't see me in any of the Joe's, i had tones of missions but not me in it, till 88, when Budo came out, he looks like me in some fashion, the facile fetuers, and the same year NIGHT FORCE, came too be. from there every thing fits, Budo became Sgt. Anthony, and hawk had me pointed to run NIGHT FORCE,many adventures drew from there,till about 92 i think, from there C.C. killed hawk and flagg made me General , from there i was on and off with the joes.

Cool everybody! Keep it coming....and I'm working on a custom of myself...but that's for another time.....
:D
