I loved the Rock Bad Guys I think they even had Snake like names. And they were also intermixed with my Joes. Just like today off brand was always A OK for me as long as the accessories were cool.

MASH helo and the ROCK jeep were both favs for me

Forgot about the Bad guys. black uniform, Gold helmet, where were they trying to camo themselves in a tire factory in Detroit?

I remember seeing tons of them on sale at kaybee as late as 1985-86

I had the machine gun nest,and a bunch of figures too used them as background filler-Also had the generic bad guy figures that remco made from the same molds(just repaints)-I really liked remco's assorted lines from the 80's

I had that Action Machine Gun Nest set when I was a kid. I think I had another figure or two from this line.

I'd have never noticed this but I've read somewhere that a lot of the military equipment Sarge comes with is modern day, yet the character was set in WW2.

Yeah some come with m-16's

Is the Rock figure in scale with GI Joe RAH?

Yes thanks to my army building attempt my Joes had plenty of extra Grease Guns.

Or right huge open pockets. WHY?

STill with a little work you make some Last Starfighter customs out of those sucky enough no one would ever see them.

If you remember most of the accessories had a hook (Knives,Radios, and Grenades) so you could hang them on the pocket.

I had tons of them, they had these in 4 pack mailers at the flea market for a buck.very poor quality, and the back pockets? we can't sit down sarge....

I find it interesting that DC's actual logo is featured so prominently on the packaging. That certainly wasn't the type of thing that was common back then.

It's the best thing about the series IMO.
