This is the year that the Ninja Force characters were released: led by Snake Eyes, and also including Zartan, Night Creeper, Scarlett, Banzai, Bushido and Slice - including the Ninja Lightning cycle and Ninja Raiders with their clotheslining weapon attachment.

Many G.I. Joe toy commercials in the early 1990s featured live-action acting, an interesting change of page.
