G.I.Joe Giant Promotional Balloon
In 1994 as part of G.I.Joe's 30th anniversary, Hasbro sent a "G.I.Joe" delegation to the El Toro Marine Base Air Show. They had their own tent, along with a publicity stunt team that involved paratroopers. The paratroopers were called "G.I.Joe" and each member had a codename. Next to the Hasbro tent was another tent showcasing the history of G.I.Joe.
Pictured above is a giant inflatable promotional balloon of Duke that stood near the Hasbro tent. It stands somewhere approximately between twenty and thirty feet in height.
