G.I. Joe Adventure Team
An in-depth look at 1970s era G.I. Joes--the big ones. The Adventure Team was introduced in 1970 when anti-Vietnam War sentiment drained the sales for Hasbro's war hero. Instead of dog tags, the new Joes were outiftted with peace symbol-like Adventure Team tags, had their choice of an array of adventurous, but non-violent vehciles. They even had "life-like" hair. The later version even had "Kung Fu Grip"! The full story is here.
