Is GI Joe just another toy or is there something more to it??? Sure in appearance they’re simply little plastic men with bending arms and legs along with a waste that pivots… but… behind the camouflage jacket there’s much more… the start of the American Dream…

You get your first GI Joe maybe as a gift… maybe as a prize… or maybe as a bribe to shut up while in the store… no matter how… you get your first… and it’s cool and all… but now you need a bad guy for him to fight… and this is how the dream starts out…

Now that you have two guys to create sides… you need tanks and jets to add to the excitement as they chase each other around… these vehicles have room for passengers… so… next thing you know… what was once a little collection has turned into a life goal… a goal to own each and every character ever to be sold…

Then… if you do manage to achieve this goal… now what??? Now you own them all and are growing bored with your prized possessions minus a prize for your hunt… that’s when you start to lose them one by one… some to the mud in the backyard… others blown to pieces with your bb gun… and other you just snapped in half for the hell of it as your dream becomes a nightmare… and all that you want is more…
