As part of the meticulous process of creating a cartoon, model sheets are drawn up to give the animators a definitive look to certain characters, vehicles, and settings.
While Sunbow's last television cartoon aired in 1987, Sunbow continued to do animation for the G.I.Joe commercials for air in 1988 and 1990. These model sheets were used for the 1988 commercials.
