How can you say you don't know why I don't like the small GI Joe's?
I've tried to give lots of reasons in my posts.
Let me sum it up first for the figures then for the cartoon.
1) The joints break too easily.
2) Their hands never really held the guns well.
3) The clothing was molded to their body rather than something you can change.
4) NO KUNG FU GRIP!
a) The cartoon characters lack any sort of depth at all.
b) Each plot line was horribly the same and did nothing to move an overall story line ahead.
c) They shot a gazillion rounds of amunition without ever killing anyone (I'm not out for blood, I just feel that it taught kids that guns are safe to play with).
d) The animation was terrible... only a few frames per second and lots of reused animation over and over.
I hope I've made myself clear as to why I think weenie GI Joes and the accompanying cartoon suck so hard. I'm not going to like you any less if you enjoy them. I'm guilty of loving Speed Racer which has a similar list of faults but I don't tote it at one of the best series ever. I just happen to like it a lot.

Gullible isn't in the dictionary.
