Ripcord is great

He gave Snake Eyes clinical depression!

G.I. Joe facts people don't care about

G.I. Joe is a line that has lots of obscure factoids that are generally obscure because they're not very neat. That, or people would rather complain about other things

-All the sandbags in the Mortar Defense unit are different molds

-The G.I. Joe team put aid kits in very stupid places on vehicles

-"DeCobray" really isn't The Baroness' last name. 

-1997 Filecards are terrible

-Ripcord has always been black, he was just very pale in the 80's. Leave the man alone he was just sick

-A whole lot of figures have the same bicep peices, I think they originated with Swivel-Arm Cobra Officer.

-The "Bad guy turns good" G.I. Joe trope was first introduced in 1984, but since Storm Shadow turning good was totally part of the groundwork for "BRAINWAVE SCANNERS FOR EVERYONE" and "95% of G.I. Joe is connected to Snake Eyes in the early 70's" just blame Hasbro for that!
