I was showing my wife the Street Fighter GI Joe figures and trying to explain that some of them are considered a sub-line of the GI Joe brand. (Yes, I actually do try to have those conversations, one sided as they might be.) My daughter was not quite convinced.



Using here keen collector knowledge and detective skills, she was quickly able to conclude that it was indeed authentic.



Seriously, within mere seconds of holding her first action figure, binky out, figure in. GI Joe: Street Fighter, fun for kids of all ages.

The Guile figure, with it's outsized hair, may indeed be a good binkie substitute.

The chew test is the only true way to check the authenticity of figures.

That's fantastic stuff P! Everyone should know now that an action figure doesn't just have the feel and the smell, but also the taste

Sounds, you still have to make yourself. Beeeoow! PEW PEW! BOOOOM!
(Unless it's sonic fighters)

At the very least, he stands on his head better than any other figure in the line -- or most action figure lines, as far as that goes...

Yeah, Stealth Viper can do that too. One taste of the plastic and he can tell if it's ARAH or a knockoff.

Mattel toys tend to favor non-baby friendly paints while vintage Hasbro plastics and paints have actually been shown to enhance intellectual and physical development in children.
