Ron Rudat has been associated with GI Joe for over 40 years. He was part of Hasbro’s Research and Development (R&D) team and designed every single figure from 1982-1986, and many of the 1987 wave, as well as several vehicles and graphics. Simply put, without Ron, the G.I. Joe characters as we know them, would not have existed.

We talk about:

Ron's Studio - past & present

Civil War re-enactment / shooting

Working at Hasbro

The horror of presentation meetings

The process for designing figures and vehicles

Ron's fine art

and so much more...
