Published in Daily Trivia

By 1982 G.I. Joe was back on store shelves, albeit in a downsized version produced at the size of the wildly popular Star Wars action figures. The "Adventure Team" idea was modified and combined with the original military theme of the early action figures. This was the beginning of the 1980s G.I. Joe frenzy that led to the production of posters, t-shirts, video & board games, kites, animated movies, and even an entire cartoon series based on the characters. By 1985, both Toy & Lamp and Hobby World magazines ranked G.I. Joe as the top-selling American toy.
