Should I remove the 1993 archives?

http://www.bloodforthebaron.com/toys/chrono/1993.html

They are a step away from the rest of the range and IMO are a bit of a sore thumb.

They are also 99% incomplete, lacking both photos and info.

Please discuss as well as vote!

the only thing I'd consider removing is the SF2 figures.

I've voted yes, dump 'em..they aren't

I think the main focus of this archive should be the Palitoy era & toys myself.

Personally, as much as I love 'em, I always think of

& co/

as G.I.Joe & not

, but that's a discussion for another time...

Definetley. Apart from a couple of the vehicles most of this stuff illustrates how wrong Hasbro went. Lets be honest if anyone needs this stuff they would look on Yo Joe anyway.

Hmmm. Four replies, two each way, yet only three votes...

1993 was a bad year for Joe figures but the archive would be incomplete without it.

I have mixed opinions on this so not sure if it will help or not. Like some of the others I'm not keen on them.
Although I agree with TKW that it would be a complete record of the entire line (you have taken the site forward and I'm sure that you will continue to add to the archives). So really they should stay to give the future members who were in to these something to discuss.

Was '93 the final year of the range in the UK?

Was it also the final year for the US and rest of the world?

Although I think the later toys are terrible and awful, they should be there in the archive, for better or for worse as they were made as part of the ongoing range.

To paraphrase The Thrills, 'you can't rewrite history, cigarette Barbie'.

It was the final year for the UK, but all of the Star Brigade, Street Fighter, Mega Marines and Battle Corps reanges continued and expanded in the US.

I guess it would be incomplete without them.

Of course, there have been Joe toys in recent years... my work is never done!

Blood for the Baron!
