G.I. Joextravaganza... Part 2: Blizzard

I was always a fan of the G.I. Joes that had a ton of accessories and were considered specialists. This led to my love of Blizzard. He was probably my second favorite Joe of all time. Like me he had a love of the cold weather. Unlike me he came with skis and snow shoes (as well as a killer helmet) as well as a back pack that turned into a sled.

He was described on his filecard as one of the hardest and meanest men in the bunch. Also described as someone who doesnt make mistakes and doesnt get careless. Of all the Joe cold weather specialist he was easily my favorite. I also thought the design of the character and his accessories were all cleverly done.

Truly one of the figures I remember fondly when I think about my childhood. My younger sister (who constantly played Joes with me, and me in turn Barbies with her) can tell you that Blizzard really was one of my favorite Joes of all time
