Some will say GI Joe jumped the shark with the addition of Super Bowl hero William "The Refrigerator" Perry to Hasbro's line of action figures.
Perry became the 2nd real-life Joe, after pro wrestler Sgt. Slaughter, but his exploits have been largely forgotten. Hasbro gave Perry a football-centric bolo as a weapon of choice, a black football attached to a chain.
This 1987 ad features Perry, and narrated by series announcer Jackson Beck.
