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

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!

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.

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

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

Flint Nuff Said!!!

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.

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...
