I was never much into GI Joe, in either incarnation. The dolls were too big and I had already discovered Mego dolls. I wanted superheroes, and Joe was just not it for me. I liked the concept, though. I did have one doll, and the "Eight Arms of Danger" set. I wanted the octopus far more than anything else, and I played with it a lot. I had quite an octopus collection, actually, and those were not easy to come by back in the early 70s. But I digress. Both octopus and Joe disappeared mysteriously. Joe was long gone before Topo was, though. I was not much fussed about Joe, he was clunky, and you have to dry out his wetsuit if you took the toys to the water. I hope whoever got him loved him more than I did.
