Yes, I'm changing the subject... I remember when GI Joe first came out. I think that was thier war cry. I thought the first true action figures were the Star Wars toys, released in 1977. Lucas thought it would be a good merchandising idea to market play "dolls" to boys. But boys would never buy "dolls", so the toys were renamed "action figures". Star Wars was a huge success, stores sold out of the new "action figures", and by 1999, we have a glut of 99-cent "Jar-Jar Binks" action figures. :) --John
