I asked this same basic question a couple of years ago when it was the 30th anniversary of my favorite Joe-year & got some great replies:

I forgot to ask it the next year for the 1985 crop, but figured I'd resume the survey and see what memories held up best between '86 & '16.

(feel free to add your '85 highlights in as well since the year of the Flagg, Flint, and SE V2 got forgotten last year).

For me:

1986 - Probably the box art of my Tomahawk on Christmas morning & the fun design & rubber tires of my STUN that same day. Also the mystique of the Night Raven that never was.


1985 - Finding carded Joes of Shipwreck, Alpine, & Barbecue hidden inside the always-boring-to-a-kid gift of new clothes that Christmas. I still fondly think of that genius idea my Aunt had every time I grab a shirt-box sized gift from under the tree.

So, what do you see when you look back 30 years through Low-Light's rose-tinted goggles?
