GI
Joe toys have made their mark in toy history
Some
toys make more of an impact in the market place than others
do. GI Joe toys are responsible for making a huge change in
the very nature of that market. GI Joe action figures are
credited with being the first action figure ever marketed to
the consumer. It takes the pleasure of being the first toy of
it’s kind and open a whole new world of small action figures
and dolls to children all over the world. The first GI Joe
toys appeared in 1964 as a twelve-inch action figure doll
named after the hero of a current movie. In 1967 the line of
figures had become so popular that talking figures were added.
The
manufacturer continued to add themes such as Canadian
Mounties’ versions and the whole US army and it’s various
units. They pride themselves in authenticity and are in some
ways reality based toys. GI Joe toys now include not only the
action figures but also a very large selection of support toys
and vehicles to compliment the themes. Some specific figures
have been added with super strengths and hero status to add
some extra excitement. The more figures a child has, the
greater the play possibilities.
GI
Joe toys seem to be a series of action figures and supporting
toys that will be around for a long time. They are more than
just nice little dolls. They tell a story of military history
that collectors are fast to inform us of. GI Joe changes with
the times and the wars the world endures.
