1985. A lot of nice figures so choosing the one favorite will be tough. Let everyone know what figure you like best (and please explain why)! http://www.yojoe.com/action/85/ Tim 121RVC |

Shipwreck for me. He was the first Joe member that ended up in our house via as my brother's X-mas present in 1985. |

I went with Snake-Eyes, barely, because that figure was so incredibly awesome back then. Airtight was a very close second. |

Easily Snake Eyes. Best. Version. Ever. Second would have went to Crankcase for me. Simple, realisitic design. Awesome weapon too. |

Toughest poll so far. I went with Shipwreck since I didn't have a Snake Eyes back in the day |

I went with another non-obvious one and chose Dusty, mostly because, living in Arizona, I felt that a desert trooper was long overdue. But really, the whole 1985 lineup was pretty impressive. I almost went with Keel-Haul, just because of what he came with.

From top to bottom, I think the '85 lineup is the best ever offered in the line. There's just so much good stuff in there. If I could only have figures from one year, '85 would probably be my choice. That said, it's a somewhat tough call. The Snake Eyes figure is only version I associate with the character and its lone use gives it additional relevance over the other versions of the character. But, in end, I had to go with Flint. Flint is Joe to me and he personifies everything I like about the line. He's also a figure I simply can't get enough of. I have at least 5 complete vintage versions, well over half a dozen Funskool figures interspersed with the variants and carded versions as well as the Brazilian version. It's the flagship figure of my collection. |

Tollbooth definitely sticks out head shoulders & sledgehammer above the rest of '85. They should have focused the line around him. |

I went alpine on this one. I honestly really don't like this year for joes at all.  I think 84 kills it and 86 is better as well. I chose alpine maily base on his weapons, snake eyes was a close second ( although I dislike the character I like his v2 fig ) |

If I had only one year to pick from, it'd be '83. But it's still too bad I couldn't vote for more than just Al Pine. |

Snake Eyes was the obvious choice. I would've picked Dusty, but I have a stigmatism against him. He was the first "thing" I stole from a store,... and didn't feed all that proud about it. My Father (who was a detective) figured it out, and made me go back to the store and apologise, and repay for the figure with my allowance. So I wasnt really a fan of him,.. he reminds me of my shame... |

So many good figures! Quick Kick, Shipwreck, Snake Eyes, Flint, all the vehicle drivers etc.. All with far better sculpt than the previous years, and all with pretty good accessories. I went with Lady Jaye, not only cause I love that figure - the colors, the slight arms, the face sculpt and the capera, but for the fact that is the first Joe to appear in the Norwegian comics, "Action Force #1" in 1988 (your #44 or something. The one where she kicks some BAT ass). Also I still have my Lady Jaye figure from when I was a kid, and it's still almost flawless. |

gotta b snakes, although I never did like the lips on his mask. This is without a doubt the best year for Joes ever though, and it was a really tough decision. Flint and alpine are still two of my favorite figure(Alpine mostly because of his awesome accessories- that Beretta smg was used by alot of Joes and became my Fav gun after the Uzi). |
