Kind of funny to think Mattel was chasing the GI Joe purple dragon at a time when even GI Joe was trying (and failing) to remain just as relevant as He-man and Transformers were. As I understand things more ARAH diehards hate the DIC continuation of the Sunbow series. Alot of weird changes were made and I think they do eventually go to space. Plenty of comparisons to be made between it and NA, down to the 1990 debut.
