Sad news to report today... the passing of Stanley Weston, the man who created G.I. Joe... the cool big ones back in the 1960's. It was his design that he sold for $100,000 and turned into a million dollar franchise still enjoyed today. Anyone who has ever played with a G.I. Joe of any size, read a G.I. Joe comic book or kicked someone in the head thinking they were Swift Kick or Snake Eyes owes a debt of gratitude to Mr. Weston. He was 87.
