Stan Weston, G.I. Joe Inventor, Dies at 84
Tags: None -
To be clear, this man invented the 80s "Real American Hero" GIJoe. The 60s and 70s 12" figures creator was Don Levine. RIP."Do you believe, you believe in magic?
'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
If your mission is magic your love will shine true." -
Weston birthed the original 12" Joe, Captain Action and had a lot to do with the Mego WGSH.
Levine was a Hasbro employee who definitely had a lot to do with Joe but Weston is the guy who sold the concept.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

Bob Prupis was the driving force behind bringing back GI JOE. Kirk Bozigian was the product manager of RAH and Ron Rudat was the figure designer.
You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Comment
