Somehow, the inclusion of a self contained, single person jetpack has become accepted as "strict military realism" in the Joe line. Even in 2022, you see collectors who deride when Joe went "sci-fi" and say the line got bad when that happened. How they can accept something like the JUMP, HAL or Flash while deriding later concepts that were no further out there than these original ideas is beyond me. So, I make it a point to focus on the sci-fi aspects of the Joe line that were introduced in 1982.
The JUMP, though, is a great toy and may be the single most useful single backpack ever released in the line's history. Because of the generic name, it can be tough to find JUMP content. Even though a lot of it exists. But, you'll see some really strong content regarding the JUMP in the links below. The names who appear are a who's who of Joe photographers: proving the JUMP is an essential part of every collection.
