RACF,

I see you are correct, they don't have a cool acronym like S.P.E.C.T.R.E.(SPecial Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion). Is that a "fail" for me not knowing, or you for knowing?

This comes from me really only knowing about the old GI Joe with the "Kung-Fu Grip!". My wife is far more familiar with the modern GI Joe products than I. "Now I know, and knowing is half the battle!" is a catchphrase in our household.



And who of that age could forget the awesome commercials for Planet of the Apes action figures circa 1975?
