I've always found it interesting that the original GI Joe line (the one that started in the '60s) and the '80s revival both would die out the exact same way: Aliens as the enemy (The Intruders and Mega-Mutants), a cyborg Joe (Atomic Man and Robo-J.O.E.), and a change in figure style and name branding (Super Joe, Sgt. Savage/Extreme).

The GI Joe/Street Fighter toys had me thinking: in what world don't M. Bison tries and kills Cobra Commander? I can not see them working together at all.

Mine would be having a ton of the toys as a kid and staging battles throughout the house. I'd literally run storylines for them slowly battling from room feature to room feature taking losses, finding equipment, facing betrayals, recruiting allies, and encountering strange other franchise figures along the way. I had a whole room that was dedicated to that.

Marissa Fairborne and Old Snake. Marvel did 2 crossovers - a miniseries in the mid '80s (right at the time they killed off Prime and Megatron in the main TF book, so that was a fun time dealing with that in the mini) and then a few issues of the GI Joe book bringing the TF's back for Generation Two. Devil's Due did 4 - all miniseries, of mostly good quality (the 4th book was cut short for some reason so there were only 2 issues while the other minis had 5)

I mean, for all we know, Bison is a benevolent ruler, while Ryu is a violent unhinged martial artist.
