Jeeps. GI Joe has a fair number of them. Some of them sporting spring-loaded missile-firing action, or colour-change features, or packaged with a dinosaur... but they are all enduring and fun toys. From series one of A Real American Hero to Retaliation and beyond, the simple joy of loading up a vehicle with figures and crushing some rough terrain is something all fans share. But it begs the question: Which GI Joe combat jeep is the finest of the lot? 

The debate rages...
