Well, I'm glad there's an acceptable substitute. Really, the main stumbling blocks in the way of a GIJoe Step were a) I never watched
the cartoon and b) I was too old to want to watch the cartoon when it came out. When I was a kid, I played with real GIJoes, 12 inches
tall, came with their own shoebox-sized footlocker. The newer incarnations never held the same fascination for me.
One of the best issues of the G.I. Joe comic has the Joes defending the Statue of Liberty from Cobra. Helping them is a surprisingly adept chief of Liberty
Island Security (a National Monument Park Ranger, basically) and his wife, who runs the Monument's Visitor Center Infirmary. The Security Chief's name
is revealed at the end to be "Joe." It was a very nice tribute to the Old School.
