G.I. Joe Crimson Guard Commanders on Sale

Following the Tomax and Xamot ad from a few days ago, today we return to 1985 for this ToysRUs newspaper ad and another shot at the Crimson Guard Commanders. The “evil twins” were one of the cooler ideas that Hasbro added to G.I. Joe in the mid-eighties, and the action figure two-pack was the perfect way to make the toys stand out without going the Zartan or Serpentor route and adding a vehicle.

Also: There’s more to this ad than just Tomax and Xamot. Seriously. There’s a real treat for the G.I. Joe fans who click through to see the full ad.
