G.I. Joe - Real American Hero

Since when?

(personal opinion only ;)
I want to babble on about my one great hero, Cobra Commander. Though naturally they got it all backwards in the cartoons and comics, making him the major villain of the whole thing.
But let's start at the beginning. The first time I saw the cartoon was when I was around 10 years old so it must have been made sometime in the mid-eighties. The basic plot was that a terrorist organization called Cobra was trying to take over the world, as one does when one is the baddie in anything like this, and G.I. Joe was the US Army (?) Special Forces unit fighting to stop them.
I'm not sure about the history of the plastic figures and how far back they date (1950's?) but to me G.I.Joe is about the cartoon and comic book, not the toys.

If you want a better look at things, I recommend you go straight to my COBRA PR DIVISION pages, hosting BROCA PARK, for example.
