Your host Dave teams up with Dragon Con luminary Kristian Allen and Noel Wood from The Finest to look back at the formative years of Hasbro’s GI Joe: A Real American Hero toy line!

1986 was a huge year for the A Real American Hero line of GI Joes. So big, in fact, that it took the guys a full episode to give it the attention it deserves! From heavy hitters like the COBRA Viper and the Battle Android Trooper to experiments in neon like Sci-Fi, ’86 gave us a lot to love.

Plus, this week brings a HUGE announcement about a future Needless Things project!

Listen in as Dave, Noel, and Kristian dive deep into the Joes and COBRAs of 1986 on the newest episode of the Needless Things Podcast!
