Another bit of trivia, Sgt Savage was not created to replace the original Joe line and was intended to be a supplemental line in a new scale that was intended to placate older Joe fans who wanted more realistic WWII style figures. The figures were even designed to be compatible with backpacks and accessories and vehicles from the regular Joe line. But when Joe was cancelled Sgt Savage was still introduced, and ended up flopping since nobody backed it or promoted it at this time, as it was done by the Hasbro team working on the Joe line in the transitional period before Kenner took over.
