G.I. Joe searches for Sasquatch and Yeti

Over at Cryptomundo, Loren Coleman reports on some Sasquatch sightings at JoeCon 2008, the official G.I. Joe Collectors' Convention held last weekend in Frisco, Texas. Southern Fried Bigfoot found the limited edition "Search for the Sasquatch" set above left, for which there's also an accompanying video. And at right is the new G.I. Joe "Search for the Yeti," a modernized version of the 1973 "Search for the Abominable Snowman" set. G.I. Joe and the Sasquatch (Cryptomundo)

UPDATE: In the comments, Christovir points out that the G.I. Joe Adventure Team has the exact same logo as the Appalachian Trail. How odd.

Ah, the Adventure Team GI Joe... a primal memory from my childhood in the 70s.

Sean Huxter is also a huge fan of GI Joe. He posted scans and recordings of those great Peter-Pan Book Records ("DING! Turn the page...")

Yeti is good with barbeque sauce. A bit gamey, but, worth the trouble.

@HOLTT, I wasn't getting your reference and then it just came to me. Spot on. : )

Apparently the GI Joe Adventure Team shares the exact same logo with the Appalachian Trail.

HOLTT; my nerd detector just went "Ping!". Sadly, since I got the reference, I now know why my nerd detector constantly indicates such a high level of background nerdiness. It also explains why I own all these d20's, probably.
