The Golden Puma mask theory

Testing GP's theory that the faceless figures are the coolest, my son has selected 3 figures to put on his dresser and help him sleep tonight. He has very little knowledge of Action Force or GI Joe. The 3 figures he selected are.... Beachhead, Snake-eyes and Storm Shadow V2. There ya go the proof that GP's theory is correct. Masked figures are the coolest;-)

I guess it's easier fo a kid to project himself onto a masked figure. With the face hidden, he can pretend it's him!

Yeah, I know my favourite figures when I was a kid were Storm Shadow v1 and Firefly. Not Snake Eyes so much but then I guess I was a fan of the bad guys...

My favourite was Firefly from Cobra and and Ripcord or Duke for AF. Any SAS was cool. My sons favourite in Star Wars is any Jedi or a Clone trooper. The Clone Wars is probably his favourite. In the 70's Vader and Fett would have had to have been the coolest. Which just confirms that theory again;-)

No way, BOBA FETT is the coolest;-) He whooped Solo's arse till Lucas wrote in a silly death scene. But we all know he escaped and kept hunting;-) Maybe we should me after school and have our figures duke it out? Lol..... He's no good to me dead.....
See "Pink Five" for more on Han Solo.

Twice as menacing with, than without. There, hypothesis is proven, we now have the first law of Golden Puma;-) Masked figures are cooler than unmasked. So says Chopper.
Here's another hypothesis, the dubious flirtation with big chests in the 90's was crap.
