Collector club meeting of G.I. Joe toy action figures
One of the most famous toy action figures around today are GI Joe action figures. These figures started with an American cartoon soldier that was created in 1942 and has been around since then. In fact, many of these toy figures have inspired the youth of America to serve the country!
Today, most of these figures emphasize on American heroism and this is why many of the recent GI Joe action figures are based on military and civilian real life heroes like George Washington, Theodore Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy. There is also an official G.I. Joe Collector’s Club annual meeting running for the past ten years where the special guest for the 10th meeting of 2006 in New Orleans was Sgt. Slaughter.
