1985 Hasbro GI Joe ARAH - Barbecue - 3.75 Inch Action Figure Vintage

The Team's Firefighter Reports for Duty — A Genuine 1985 A Real American Hero! 🔥🚒

He simply likes riding on the back of the truck with the wind in his face and sirens wailing, lights flashing, and the bells clanging — this 1985 Hasbro G.I. Joe A Real American Hero Barbecue 3.75 Inch Action Figure brings the team's dedicated fireman to your vintage collection with authentic character detail straight from Series Four.

Barbecue — real name Kelly, Gabriel A. — is the G.I. Joe team's firefighter, and his backstory carries genuine heart: if Kelly hadn't joined the G.I. Joe team, he would have been the seventh Kelly in his direct line to serve in the Boston Fire Department. His love for the job isn't rooted in family obligation or duty alone — he simply loves what he does. Barbecue was first released as part of the fourth series in 1985 and remained available through 1986 before being discontinued in 1987, making him a genuine piece of the classic ARAH era that so many collectors grew up with. This 1985 wave also marked a notable design improvement for the line — the introduction of the "neck ball" joint, which allowed figures to look up and down for the first time, in addition to left and right.

Condition — Please Read:

Whether you're a longtime G.I. Joe collector filling out your classic 1985 Series Four lineup, a Barbecue fan who's always appreciated the team's dedicated firefighter, or simply someone who remembers this exact figure from childhood and wants it back on the shelf — Barbecue is ready to answer the call once more.
