G.I. Joe Nurse
A female Joe? Yep -- and she
didn’t have to wait until the era of political correctness, instead showing up
all the way back in the enlightened days of 1967. Sadly, she was a bit before
her time. The world was not yet ready for a female G.I. Joe, and the figure
flopped, due in part to toy stores who didn’t know whether to put her with the
war toys or the Barbies. Nowadays, a boxed example can fetch as much as $6,000.
