It's always hard for me to choose just one favorite Joe or Cobra as my original collection was really small, thought it's much bigger now. Flint to me was the ultimate cool cat in terms of a figure, even thought I did not get his original figure til 20 years later.
His look just screams iconic to me with the beret, shotgun shell holders, sleeves rolled up,and the great camo pattern on his pants. Also I remember from th watching the cartoons I liked how he was often leading missions out in front and it did not hurt that Lady Jaye was often by his side.
Barbecue also holds a soft spot for me since he is a firefighter, which since childhood I have dreamed of becoming. His mold like Flint's always stood out to me, I liked how his uniform is more the like king airport firefighters use rather than the standerd "bunker gear" you see all time in your home town. Also his file card really makes sound like the kind of friend I would have.
