The franchise originated as a series of action figures based on actual U.S. military figures, with the original line of 12-inch action figures being phased out in the 1960s and 70s following the Vietnam War and replaced by a line of smaller figures. Marvel Comics re-developed the G.I. JOE franchise at Hasbro’s request, and since the 1980s has seen the release of multiple series, movies, and comic books featuring the characters – and the role-playing game, of course.
