Did G.I. Joe ever get to come out of combat?

Yes, although he still found himself in danger. By 1970, the war themes of the original G.I. Joe toys were eliminated due to the growing controversy over war toys in the wake of the Vietnam War. Now, G.I. Joe was the leader of the "Adventure Team", an adventuring/spy-like organization devised to fight evil. He also got a new look, adding flocked hair and even a beard (an innovation developed in England by Palitoy's for their licensed version of Joe, 'Action Man').
