Let me get this straight - there was a GI Joe character called "Skidmark"???? Now I don't want to seem all 15 year old about this, but surely someone at a GI joe product meeting should have thought about that one a little more?

Snow Job still cracks me up.

Totally agree - I've been laughing out loud for the last 10 minutes about it.....
(hey, we can all be 15 again)

Me too Baron - what were they thinking! Especially with that beard and all - it wouldn't half tickle!

Yea, Hasbro came out with a few questionable names.... Different mind set methinks

The name Skidmark was supposed to refer to his driving capabilities (great speed, presumably fast stops, leaving skidmarks on the road...)

Here's his filecard:

Actuallly, imo, both the name and the figure are pretty lousy... At least, in this case, they didn't give a bad name to a good figure... I think the figure got what it deserved (relegation to the bottom of everyone's toy chest!)

Having had a really bad day at work these posts have really cheered me up!

The one that always got me was Tiger Force Blizzard...a yellow snow trooper?!!!
