In 1982 Hasbro introduced a new line of products that changed the landscape of boys action figures: G.I. JOE A REAL AMERICAN HERO which quickly became one of the most memorable toy lines of the 1980s.
Not only did Hasbro commemorate the 25th anniversary with the release of a special edition series of A REAL AMERICAN HERO figures, but they brought you one of the coolest convention exclusives ever!
