I cant choose between 2, either Storm Shadow v1 and Snake eyes V2, they still today are two of the best looking figures ever made and are classics

I'm going with a Joe also, Snake Eyes v.1. I still remember getting him. I thought he was a bad guy for the longest time, I didn't bother to read his file card before ripping him free. The first Stormtroopers are up there though.

best toy ever.

I have to say the 1985 Snake Eyes. He had an uzi, a sword, and a wolf - and that's not to mention his ninja skills. The figure was well made, his accessories complimented him, and he had a pet. What more could you ask for?

What more could you ask for? He did indeed have ninja skills, but did he play basketball overseas ? I had said before S.E. V 1 was the best action figure in a previous thread. Simple yet had a certain pop to him.

I do have to say the first time I took Zartan out in the sun light it was pretty cool to see him turn all greenish.

I used to wear Snake Eyes around my neck as a good luck charm while playing basketball overseas. So yes, he did play . . .

I actually never liked Zartan. I hated the thigh pads and the bigger head to accommodate the mask.
Another fave when I was a kid was Calibos from the Clash of the Titans.

Vintage Boba Fett. Because he was freakin' Boba Fett and no other character looked like that back then. So awesome.
Also I was very fond of my Clawtron figure. Very simple design, but they pulled it off so nicely!

Although I loved my Boba Fett, and many, many GIJoes, as a kid I dreamed of having GIJoe-posable 3-3/4 wrestlers, specifically the Japanese star the Great Muta. Now I have one: he would kick fett in the cajones, spray the green mist through Snake-eyes' visor, and confuse zartan by changing into his own alter ego (Mutoh Keiji) and hit Z with his own box of junk.

Those are amazing.
My favorite all time 3 3/4 inch figures is the Cylon Centurion.

my vote would have to go for Snake eyes with Timber, a ninja with a wolf, you can't have much more play value than that.

My vote goes to the original 1986 G.I. Joe ARAH Battle Android Trooper. I think it's one of the best figures EVER in any scale, with it's detailed sculpting, orange and black color scheme and awesome lenticular "screen" on the front showing you it's mechanical innards.

I have always had a soft spot for the Lando Calrisian in Jabba's Palace disguise figure. I have owned that figure so many times and currently have 2 of them. They can rerelease it as many times as they want and remake it as many times as they want but the original is still a great figure.
Honorable mentions go to
Original Destro, his chrome head looked fantastic. Glove from Bionic Six Deeth from AD&D Road Pig from GI Joe Ripper from the Dreadnoks Elkhorn from AD&D

My vote is for the Black Hole Humanoid. It is actually kind of a plain figure without the cape and boots but my reasons for choosing it are because it is just so rare to try and find one (especially complete). It wouldn't get any better than running into one of these babies in a box at a flea market or garage sale!

I think maybe Crystar would have to be right up there as my all time favorite 3 3/4" scale figure. Although his Remco-made body isn't quite as articulated as this size of figure is nowadays, the colors of the figure combined with his removeable helmet, sword, and shield makes for a pretty eye catching picture. As far as individual lines go, alot of board users have sighted G.I. Joe figures as their favorite. My favorite Joe is actually Tripwire, of all Joes to choose from. I feel his gear makes him visually interesting and while most Joes have weapons for accessories, he has his mine detector accessory. Even the original Tripwire back in the 80s I felt had a "standout" sorta look about him. He was one of the few Joes I considered buying when Hasbro did their, in my opinion, poorly executed replica figures in the late 90s that I believe were TRU exclusives. Of the latest trio of Joe comic book 2 packs, the one I had to buy first was the Tripwire/Cobra Commander pack.

My all time favorite in this category was Crystars brother Moltar. He looked so fearsome and came with that cool battle axe.
