Back in the 60's and 70's Sears catalog was the greatest for a kid. Always wanted G.I. Joe and equipment. So did most kids in the neighborhood. Lots of fun used our imagination and made up our own stories to go with.
First section I would go to when the Sears and Penny’s Christmas catalogs came.
The Sears "Wish Book" was the best!
"Christmas is coming and I'm not gonna be able to get my son the GI Joe with the Kung-Fu grip" - Trading Places 1983.
Is ok
GREATEST TOYS EVER MADE !!!!!!!
These GI Joes came a long way from the Flame Throwers
& Mine Detector Equipment we once loved. Thank you
GI Joes! Best toy ever!!
To me it was actually a disappointment. Because I loved the original G.I. Joe’s for the military theme stuff.
I certainly want to cry looking how the kid is playing w/ his Joe in the water like that ...especially seeing how rare these toys are over 50 years later
Why was it when we were kids we had such vivid imaginations that we could invent all sorts of amazing scenarios with our toys, but we lose it when we grow up!? BTW i remember the parachute was rubbish; much too small to be effective !
CLASSIC advertising. Notice how each of these awesome ads is almost like a promo for a GI Joe movie? This is some great thinking - a smooth marketing move away from the painful ideas associated with Viet-Nam ( where Joe got his start ) and into a more James Bond typer role. The influence of Bruce Lee and even Chuck Norris is very evident here! Each of these ads is like a little Indiana Jones movie, all on its own. Love it!
The man narrating those G.I. Joe commercials was also
the narrator on "Star Blazers"!
Had the stolen Idol set for about a year as a kid before I realized those plastic gems were hidden in the gold buddha lol.
Ha! me too. Dropped it on the floor and the back popped open!
Like if this version of GI Joe should be adapted into a movie.
I had three of them G.I. Joe’s with the life like hair back in the day, yeah I’m telling my age so what... (57) you damn right!!!
Yeah I have two bearded. AT Joes and one paint head Action Marine. Displayed in full kit in my man cave. I am 57 as well.
Ron Parker Aw man you making me feel bad I don’t have mines anymore.... 🤧
Grew up with the adventure team toys definitely bad ass sets, today their worth a pretty penny
Damn I miss my toys!
Remember when kids actually used their imaginations and had the tactile sensation of doing things with their hands? I'm just a grumpy middle -aged man. Wow do I recall the feeling when at age 10 or 11 my mom brought home a bunch of GI Joe gear she picked up at a rummage sale for $75. The HQ, Jeeps, 2 six-wheelers, various sets and about a dozen Joes. Felt like the king of the neighborhood.
Phillip S kids still play with toys.
True but they aren't like the toys we grew up with such as Johnny West, action Jackson, Skittle Bowl, ect.
Daniel Grady So? Barring hand-me-downs, their kids won't be playing with the toys they knew either. You didn't play with the toys your parents knew and on it goes. :)
"Felt Like ?" You were Phillip S.. You Were .
Here I am 15 years old in 2021 laying in bed next to my collection of transformers action figures next door to my brother who’s room you can barely walk in because of the amount of stuffed animals in action figures are always piled onto his floor waiting for tomorrow so I can go and play with my cousins who also own a plethora of toys reading this comment and being like goddamn I wish I wasn’t in the minority of kids
Wow ,....memories,....I believe this commercial came out mid to late 70's, when I was outgrowing my GIjoe's,...I turned 13 in 1977, we flung our Joe's around in the air with it's parachute and a lit firecracker attached.
Omg I miss toys like this.
Had the Search for the Idol set as a kid. Damn..wish I still had it...
nice reliving those commercials and remembering the GI Joe toys i had Some are probably still MIA in the old back yard .
Still have most of mine from late 60s through mid 70s.
I was big into Joe in this era til I hit about 11 and discovered my "special purpose"
"I've got a mission for you Joe.
Can you handle it?!"
THAT AT HELICOPTER WAS AMAZING..HAD ALL THAT!❤
I wish somebody would make a Gi Joe prequel that included the Adventure Team in the 1970's. It would be cool if it was cannon is the story line.
Well... they were treated that way in the IDW comic. ruclips.net/video/87w6ARAE_ac/видео.html
I agree but I would go even further and have the OG G.I. Joe WW2/Korean War/Vietnam era Joe's be part of it . Maybe they could have Bruce Willis (deaged by computer, of course) reprise the role of Joe Colton !
I got my first Joe back in 1964 he was a blonde marine with the plastic hair . Eventually I got the other 3 services plus the black army soldier.
Later I got the Australian soldier of the world . I also got the giant plane by Irwin (?) Toys,b and the Deep Sea Diver set. Alas they're all gone now but I recently bought some reproductions from the G.I. Joe collectors club and Elite Brigade figures from Cotswold.
Old G.I. Joe collectors never die though someday we may just fade away !!!
I still have most of mine!!!!!!
Love the drums towards the end of the "action-team" theme.
I hope this adventure team comes out and the new G.I. Joe classified line that would be pretty neat . I need a real parachute again
Brings back lots of memories
I had all of this shit in the seventies. It was awesome.
love it. had them all
I remember thinking that Action pack GI Joe was a great Idea ...it was just too expensive at that scale . I am perplexed as to why Action Jackson did not out sell Gi Joe . Given the size of their vehicles and playsets I instinctively knew Santa's bag was too crowded for them .
Great video those where some of my favorite toys as a kid and hi enjoyed seeing them again.
Rick Foley gi joe had some cool playsets and vehicles!
Great memories growing up early 70s I had some G.I. Joe’s G.I. Joe jeep my friend had the mobile truck are used to be a store where I lived in Culver City call the toy warehouse so it’s like the G.I. Joe dolls They cost only three dollars
this is Heavy. THANK YOU.
Best Time Machine EVER...
Memories
Where the legend began
These were G.I. Joe's !!!
My GI Joe with lifelike hair buried my sister’s Barbie out in the snow. I got in trouble. We expected to find the Barbie in the spring but never did.
So this is where the ‘A Team’ from the 80’s got their name.
Looks like Joe could use a shave!
I have a rreproduction GI Joe in my closet somewhere .
I’m only 12.... but you’d think idc about this stuff but I think these toys r awesome! 😎 and I wanna get some of my own with the Kung fu grip. Congrats to mipadre for showing me joes.ooh and one more thing I love the 1990s ones 2 bc their 12 inch
Which way to Adventure Team Headquarters?!?
Where are my Adventure Teammates?!?
Merci de me rappeler mon enfance. Ça me fait du bien.
Cool
The animated GI Joe tv series in the '80s destroyed the real GI Joe I grew up with.
I had the 6 wheel car, the helicopter, and the Command Center. I had the albino tiger play set, and the mummy play set. Cool stuff back then.
Sadly, Darth Vader killed GI Joe.
I'd also place the popularity of Mego's Planet of the Apes, Star Trek, Micronaughts, and Superheroes lines, as well as Kenner's Bionic Man action figure line as another factor in Joe's dormancy, as they had villain toys to do battle with. Joe tried to catch on the bandwagon in '76, but that brought the lines' end and would try a revival two years later with a villain toy, yet failed again. Again, the aforementioned franchises may have had more to do with the Adventure team's end as Star Wars would not come out until '77. Heck, Ideal's Captain Action could also have spelled Joe's eventual decline as the former started the trend of villain toys in '67
I disagree, I grew up with the 80’s joe and it motivated me to go back and embrace the original 1960s version. Lots of 80’s joe collectors have nothing but respect for the originals. Nothing compares to the action army series of figures. Bad arsed stuff. The original joes rule and always will.
ARAH eventually made distict between girlie fashion dolls and 'action figures' (a produduct descriptions coined by Hasbro so to sell these 'dolls' to boys demographics. AFAIK Hasbro coined the term to describe G.I. Joe).
Hahahaha!
Dude at 1:32 trying to sing like Neil Diamond!
My stepbrother had all the AT Joes, all with the later Kung Fu Grip... I'm pretty sure he had the HQ, the Mobile Support, and the helicopter as well...
A Giant Cobra. Could this be For shadowing?
Before G.I. Joe team had bad guys, who are Cobras!
Adventure Team was a response to the antiwar sentiment going on in the country, which caused Hasbro to get away from it’s original military theme. Mostly because moms didn’t want to buy war toys for their kids.
Around the same time Takara exported Micromam line through Mego as Micronauts. and AFAIK that's when the real 'Action Figure' began to become distict to 'Fashion Dolls'.
Fate had Hasbro met Takara again about a decade later.
The only play set that I had twice the one with the shark I think one of my sharks and cut the mouth to turn it into Jaws.
0:22 So the original Joes were no less different to girlie fashion dolls? when ARAH comes in the distinctions between 'Dolls' and 'Action Figures' becomes clear, that hairs and clothes became hard plastics.
0:48 Did Hasbro gives the name 'Cobra' to a villain faction after this giant venom serpent seen here?
Amazing !!!
Did the second commercial just show the origins of the Joes vs cobra?
Yeah lol
Parabéns pelo vídeo!
No man-bun for these MEN.......only beards apply on these premises
Funny because long hair is worn in the Dutch, Swedish, and Danish armies. In fact, man-buns have been around since Roman times.
@@CosmoShidan yeah yeah.. It's a 70's thing.
Pittsburgh Steelers, Bruce Lee, Ali, The Duke..
stuff like THAT Cosmo.
@@CosmoShidan yeah well, just look how useless those armies are. Lol.
@@davegink9222 Oh really? Tell me then, how's it going with being the US being the world police, eh?
@@CosmoShidan 😂
What was the original retail price on the Mobile Support Vehicle?
1:30 how Richie Havens followed up his performance at Woodstock?
you know if they make a g.i joe adventure team then it should really be aimed for kids while a more teenage oriented g.i joe tv show is also taking place kinda like rescue bots with the transformers you know
Please let me know if you can purchase the entire Gi Joe commercials 1964 -1977 on a dvd
1:45 WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU KID!?!?!?!
GI Joe was the only guy in the 70s military that had a beard.
I never really trusted him because of that.
He wasn’t military when he got a beard, he had a standard military cut in the 60’s when he was military
@@Sgt-lott10
I think you might be mistaken, friend...G.I. Joe never retired.
Lean like a Cholo yeah, I’m just saying that 1964 - military and no realistic hair and beard 1970’s - beard and life like hair is the adventure team
@@Sgt-lott10
The fuzzy haired guy is the earliest one I ever had.
I was born in '72.
He always looked like he was having a grand mal seizure when I'd dig him out of the toy box...wrists, elbows, and knees, and neck all akimbo
Haha
Lean like a Cholo lol
I have a mini version of the commander
Update: its painted to look like a land adventurer
Army Barbie
Had the helo as a kid......also had a Joe with a beard & I shaved him......It didn't go well......DON'T SHAVE A JOE........
Anyone know who did the voice over in these commercials?
Dick Tufeld..
And now, boys play with Barbie dolls instead!
I always cringe when I see the kid pushing Joe through the mud puddle. I know I did the same back in the day, but it just makes me cringe.
Mud was nothing. Our G.I. Joe's had to survive parachutes that didn't work from our rooftops and firecracker explosives. When Joe went from the box to the plastic bubble wrap, he wasn't as sturdy, since they switched to a cheaper plastic.
@@wonmoss0206 same! We did the parachutes too.
In the winter we would paint them with red tempera paint, throw them up in the air and have them come down in the snow so the red would look like blood splatter. Lol. In the summer we would set them up and throw dirt clods at them to knock them over, representing bullets hitting them.
And I would take my frog man Joe down to the creek all the time. Along with his inflatable raft, and play with them in the water for hours.
We were kids and they were toys. They were meant to be played with.
