In 1989, G.I.Joe returned to the air waves via DiC Entertainment with Operation: Dragonfire, a 5 part mini-series. The following year, 1990, brought the return of the 30 minute animated series to either morning or afternoon slots on local programming networks. Throughout this whole time, the G.I.Joe Action Figure franchise marched on, introducing new figures and vehicles every year, with 1990 being no exception.

One of the figure and vehicle sets offered that year was the G.I.Joe Avalanche and it's driver, Cold Front. This awesome vehicle had a ton of play features, from an Ice Mine Launcher to a removable Rear Drone that carried another G.I.Joe figure (one would assume wave mate Sub Zero). Although at times it was portrayed in Desert Combat Arenas, I thankfully never had to use it outside of snowy conditions, thanks to your typical northeast winter.


As winter approaches, I was reminded of the Avalanche and all the fun I had re-inacting scenes from the cartoon series. I recently had the pleasure of adding a custom Avalanche made by Hisstank.com forum member KrymsynGardImmoral to my collection. What are your thoughts on the 1990 G.I.Joe Avalanche and Cold Front? Is this a piece currently in your collection? One that you'd like to add? Or perhaps is it one that you'd prefer to skip all together? Sound off on the Hisstank.com Vintage Forums!... [Read More]
