SYNOPSIS
G. I. JOE is the code name for America’s daring highly-trained special missions force.
Its purpose: to defend human freedom against Cobra, a ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world!
1n 1983 Hasbro made a bold statement when it launched its classic toy line of action heroes as an adventure-based team of unique characters, each with his – and her – own specialties. And because it captured the imaginations and hearts of boys and girls aspiring to make a difference in the world, G.I.
