For all you men out there ..did you ever have a GI Joe?

Heck I'll go one better. I had a G.I. Joe. I also had Matt Mason, which I far preferred. It came out in the mid 1960s, based on the NASA program at the time. The doll had a wire frame instead of being jointed plastic like joe. The good part was it could pose easier, the bad part was that when the wire broke, it became unposeable. He had a wide array of accessories like a space station, lunar lander and lunar vehicle, all very realistic. Liked him a lot better, maybe because I am Canadian and we aren't quite as likely to be a soldier.

I never did have or play with a GI Joe. I am serious about this as maybe it was not out when I was a child. I do not remember even playing with any dolls for that matter, except for Batman and Robin. They have some pretty cool dolls out there now that I would not have minded playing with when I was a child. :-)
