“American Heroes. As Real At They Get.”
Hasbro had a pretty good push going for their 12-inch scale G.I. Joe action figures. I shared a 2002 Adventure Team ad a few years ago, and today I want to take you back to Toyfare and 2002 with this full-page ad for the G.I. Joe toys of the time. Those arctic soldiers always look awesome, and this ad makes me again ask myself: Why don’t you collect more 12-inch scale action figures?

As much as I appreciate the heritage, I can’t ever seen myself buying any 12-inch Joes that aren’t characters from the RAH series. I always look at them as the previous generation’s toys.
