G.I. Joe: Then and Now.

The New York Toy Fair is up and running and one of the products unveiled was the new G.I. Joe. Got me thinking. 1960's G.I Joe (left) and 1970's G.I. Joe (right). I owned both. 11 1/2 inches tall. "Life-like" hair and beard. Kung-fu grip. Fond memories. Still have a lot of my equipment. Both were awesome.

G.I. Joe today. 3 3/4 inches tall. They suck. And they're just small enough to shove up someone's ass (which is about all they're good for). How safe is that?
