Its sometimes wondered if TOPGUN help propel Joe's toy sales. GIJoe (Scoop) eventually gave a shout out to TOPGUN back in the 80s as seen herein,

Yeah, but... Those weren't Top Gun™ toys, even if they were in line with the stuff in the movie. Top Gun hasn't really been known as a toy-heavy brand before, or even a very Big Brand™ like something like Jurassic Park or Star Wars. It was just a successful movie one-off.

Plus, GI Joe didn't start in 1986. Even if we're going by specifically the start of the 3 3/4" line, it started in 1982.
