They would end up making over 250 different vehicles, and I wanted every single one.

Making the figures smaller also allowed for Hasbro to make a ton of vehicles they could sell with them that wouldn’t be gigantic.

Thanks to the success of the Star Wars toyline G.I Joe was now introduced in 1982 as a 3.75-inch version as opposed to its old 12-inch size. During the Vietnam war, any war based toys took a massive hit in the sales department and were really hard to market and sell. G.I Joe was created by Hasbro and had existed for decades in a larger form. I’m still going on 30 years of not getting the aircraft carrier for Christmas… Birthdays and Christmas would be based around asking for, and hopefully getting, any of the toys.
