Before the franchise gets the Transformers treatment, Hasbro's most popular action figures arrive at the 92Y with decidedly more expressive performances. Tonight, the combat-ready plastics appear onscreen for the G.I. Joe Fest, which provides an occasion to share make-believe scenarios that put the "k" in front of the toy lover's id. The subjects of these stop-motion animated shorts are idiosyncratic: there's one in which G.I. Joe and Cobra settle their feud on the dance floor; another about the folly of the War on Drugs; and salutes to adventure classics like Indiana Jones and the Antarctic screamer The Thing.
