These are so AWESOME! The scary part is, is the ones you've done so far, have been ones I've had as a kid... though, unlike most children of my day, I had to earn he money myself for each of these things... my parents wouldn't support my Star Wars hobby.
These are a GREAT blast from the past!
If ever you want to do GI*Joe boxes, I do believe I have a few (well, at least one or two) of the originals I can scan for you... if I'm not mistaken, I have the Jet Pack, and the SNAKE armor (or you can go to [link] and find the packaged stuff that I've contributed in their 1982 and 1983 stuff)

Oh yes... very well aware... I even have some Action Force comics (though... no offense, but the GI*Joe comics were better... the only reason though, was because the GI*Joe comics were written by their creator, Larry Hama, who was military himself, and he REFUSED to "write down" to his audience... he looked at it as a "military comic" rather than a comic based on a toy, like so many other writers had with other toy lines)
The US comics really did read like an original Ian Flemming "007" novel...
Oh, and even though Hasbro's idea for "Destro" was the Italian reference to "second hand man", Larry Hama wasn't informed of this, and discovered that the name Destro was a Scottish surname, and thus, Destro became a Scot, rather than Italian, as Hasbro originally intended...
Thus, in the movie, he's played by The Doctor, Christopher Eccelston... (though, it was "Heroes" that caused him to leave Doctor Who, and not "GI*Joe")
If you wanna have a bit of fun at my expense.... do a google search with my name (Warflight) and the word "GI Joe"... years ago, I used to be a somebody in that area of fandom...
