1985: The Golden Era of G.I. Joe

For many collectors, 1985 represents the absolute pinnacle of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. It was the year that Series 4 introduced the most definitive versions of core characters and pushed the boundaries of toy design with massive playsets and highly detailed accessories.

Iconic Heroes & Elite Cobra Troopers

The 1985 roster is packed with fan-favorites who dominated the cartoons and comic books:

Snake Eyes (v2): The legendary commando with his wolf, Timber. This is widely considered the greatest G.I. Joe figure of all time.
Flint & Lady Jaye: The tactical duo that led the Joe team into battle.
Shipwreck: The sailor with his parrot, Polly, adding a new level of character to the line.
Crimson Guard: Cobra’s elite "Siegie" troopers—the ultimate army builder for Cobra Command.
Dusty & Alpine: Specialized desert and mountain troopers with incredible gear.
