Ken of Toy Kennections has just dropped his latest deep dive into the G.I. Joe A Real American Hero Universe, with a look at the 1988 lineup. Check it out –
This epic year of 3.75″ o-ring G.I. Joe ARAH has some of the biggest playsets ever – the Defiant Space Shuttle Complex AND the Mobile Command Center. And that’s not even counting some other great vehicles like the MAMBA helicopter.
This year also introduced us to Lt. Falcon, the armored v3 Cobra Commander that also stood in as the Fred VII Crimson Guard, and Cobra-La Sgt.
Slaughter got his Renegades as well, and we had the underwhelming Battle Force 2000. We also got Rocky’s counterpart in Big Boa and a Dress Marine version of Gung Ho. Also… COULD the Sarge make an appearance this year? Watch and find out!

I really love the 1988 line up, especially the introduction of my favorite subgroup, the Iron Grenadiers!
Fantastic work by Ken as always, wouldn’t you agree? What’s your take on 1988, did you enjoy the releases from that year, or were you already out of it by then?
