Manimals

In 1994 G.I. Joe was coming to a crashing halt as the line ended. 1994 was a interesting year for G.I. Joe and it had some of the better figures to come out in the 1990s. It may seem that Hasbro in 1995 was going to be even more interesting year had it happened. One of these sub teams to bud out of Star Brigade was the Manimals. Aliens that would mutate into even deadlier species. They were bigger and blockier then a average G.I. Joe but had to be to fit the action feature. While they had the same articulation they lacked an o-ring. Six of these figures were planned only three ever made it to retail in 2001 through KB Toy stores. This was unfortunate since two of the figures I really wanted Spasma who resembled Predator and Vortex who resembled a Space Jockey from the Alien movie. The three who did make it to retail are still my favorites and are still found in todays after markets rather easily.
