Gi Joe

Gi Joe a real American Hero

Gi Joe is a military theme doll that is made by Hasbro. It's name was taken from a 1945 movie entitled "The Story of Gi Joe", about war correspondent Ernie Pyle in World War II. The action figure represents characters of all branches of the United States military, both male and female to fight against their enemies. Seeing the market success of the Barbie doll, Hasbro had decided that it needed an action figure that boys could relate to. This decision launched the famous army figure brand name after the movie. At the time these figures were about the size of the well known Barbie dolls.

There are many different styles and designs that have been created over the years. The Gi Joe WWII Liberators - Normandy Pathfinder Action Figure is an excellent figure that replicates the allied soldiers in France. On D-Day the Pathfinders were the first allied soldiers to land in France. They were specially trained soldiers that controlled signaling equipment so arriving paratroopers would know where to land and were dropped into designated zones. This figure includes a life vest, helmet, bandage, main parachute, web belt, .45 cal pistol, holster, reserve parachute, antenna, jump jacket, jump trousers, smoke grenade, jump boots, knife & sheath, and a code manual.

In 1942 the allied forces formed the First Special Service Force to do deep raids against enemy controlled facilities. This force had conducted night raids in Anzio, Italy that earned them the name the "Devil 's Brigade". Now you can own this famous Gi Joe Devil's Brigade 12" Action Figure. It comes with an M1 helmet, mountain trousers, jump boots, belt with field suspenders, V42 fighting knife, sheath, grenades, .45 cal pistol, clip, holster, ammo pouches, entrenching tool with cover and more.

Also available is the Gi Joe Night Chopper. This sleek and stealth night chopper features sound attack technology which includes 16 different battle sounds that can be activated by various weapons. This vehicle also includes pop up wings, an opening cockpit, and a working missile launcher.
