For someone who grew up with G.I. Joe in the 80's and later served enlisted in the Marines and Air Force, to eventually become a commissioned officer in the Army, this channel is unbelievably satisfying. It's like a condensed perspective of who I am and why I became who I am. I can't wait to build my own G.I. Joe diorama just like this.
Same here, I went from collecting gi joe's to joining the Marine Corps.....Semper Fi Tuefelhunden
Also same cept i was army ranger cprl.96 to 2003
Wow
I played with G.I. Joe action figures, as a child, and I always dreamed of serving in the U.S.N and U.S.A, and upon HS graduation, I fulfilled my dream...
"Yo Joe!!!"
This collection was my life in the 80s. This made my day.
Thanks Ramiro! Yo Joe!
I feel like this collection was all in my toy box.... along with every other toy you have in your impossible collection!! Well done man.
I was born in the 2 thousands and i want all these figs
Couldn’t agree more .. had all the comics as well .. was basically a catalog for new figures
I could watch this 10 times and just get lost in nostalgia.
This brings back so many childhood memories.
Man you have some steady hands and patience. I would have been knocking over Joe's left and right trying your way. I would have started with the back row and worked my way forward to be safe lol
Thanks! That's how I usually do it but I wanted to go in order of year this time.
combining domino day with gijoe
It actually took over 43 takes cus he kept knocking down one which then have a domino effect. Jk awesome video
This is the only video ive ever seen where every joe is shown in order of release. Not a big g.i. joe fan myself , but certainly interresting to see them all in one video. Good stuff.
Thanks! That's why I started at the bottom.
Man what I'd give to go back to the 80s to see the glory days of Gi Joe. YO JO!
CRAZY LEGS! I thought i dreamed him up. Glad to know I"m not crazy!
Need to do all your Cobra now! 👍🏾
Haha, I don't have as many vintage Cobras.
Wow now that’s a surprise!
agreed. I would have all cobra lol
The best toy line ever. Ever!
Yo Joe!!
Absolutely love these Joe videos. What a blast from the past. Takes me right back to the digging up my dad's vegetable garden and making battlefields with kids from my street, much to my dad's dismay. Cheers for this Michael.
Thanks for making my childhood dreams come true
Welcome! Yo Joe!
@@MichaelMercy Nice collection, I am getting. Ready to setup. My gijoe collection, just getting some ideas
I recently rescued some of my childhood Joe's, and it has been a complete joy cleaning them up, replacing their O-rings, and finding their missing accessories online. I haven't decided on a display yet, but this is a great solution! Love the channel! 🍻
Started video with my OCD shouting ‘Michael, start from the back! THE BACK!’ Ended video chilled as all get out and amazed. Well done, sir. I do hope your hands weren’t injured after seven rows of cramping ASMR goodness ;)
I lived in Athens, Greece in the 1980s. This was my childhood. Thankful for everything in my life. Love you all.
These videos bring back so many memories. I took a lot of mine apart, and would spend hours upon hours creating new figures. I was so happy when I came across the 1st Snake Eyes even though he had no thumbs. I ended up selling all of my Joes, turtles, and bots. Made pretty decent money, but had I known then what I know now, I wouldve skipped that weekend at the coast and just kept my toys.
I started this video and said "No way that I watch 51 minutes of MM organizing GI Joes". That was 52 minutes ago... Thanks for the vid.
hahahaha... true dat!
I really like how you display them not always complete and with mix and match weapons. Great idea
Thanks!
I gotta say the accessories you put with these guys that didnt come with them looks perfect. Excellent video and collection.
Man when I was a kid I wished I had all these figures! I remember buying the action figures and vehicles at Toys R US on their aisle! It was awesome 1989-1992.
Lightfoot is one of my favourites :) loved him as a kid
Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Man.. Seing all my old Joes again like this, makes me Miss the thousands of hours i spent as a kid with my many many MANY tiny plastic friends! Still remember some of the specific days i bought certain figurens.. Which is weird i can barely remember my wife name!.. Vividly hearing my moms voice when i said, "can i get a New Joe".. "you have so many already!".. But moom.. I dont have THIS one!! Worked every time.
Remembermy childhood toystore, when they got a New Line of Joes.. My friends and I went beserk looking at all the New cool gear etc, hidding the ones we wanted around the store so, People wouldnt but them xD
Man.. Those were good times! Very very Nice collections you have sir!
Thanks Michael, glad you enjoyed! :D
As a kid I sort of missed the first the few years of GI Joes as other toylines took precedence. Things took a turn once the 1988 Tiger Force came out. Being able to pick up Flynt, Duke, Roadbock, Tripwire, and Bazooka at the store was awesome. I got in heavy and my random Zartan, Cobra Soldier, and Mutt finally got some company. Plus there was a new Destro and Storm Shadow in 88.
I remember that summer trying to track down old Joes at garage sales, and I was able to snag a Cobra Commander, the twins, and some others. Strangely, old vehicles were actually easier to find second hand (Rattler, Conquest, Tomahawk-just to name a few-completely intact, and often for only a few bucks). Never did find many of the coveted early characters though-Snake Eyes, Shipwreck, Baroness, the Drednoks, etc. Oh well. I had so much fun in the back yard th3 next couple years. Many thanks to Michael, 3D Joes, and other passionate cats out there sharing the love.
Thanks, Yo Joe!
Was I the only person to yell out each name of the Joes before Michael called their name? Up through 1987, I only forgot a couple of them.
Outstanding video, Michael! Thank you.
Haha, awesome. Thanks Joe!
Great video! I like to play this in the background while I'm doing chores around the house. Soothing
thanks michael , we never had the money to get G I Joe figures, but still got a few on birthdays, thanks for letting me relive those days.
I do believe that's the most gorgeous set of dominoes I have ever seen!
Haha!
I dig this display for your Joes. It looks like a different type of school photo set up.
Class of '82-93! :D
This layout reminds me of my H.S. senior class picture where everyone in the graduating class stood together.
Great collection! Born in late 86, so a few of the 89 ones and most of the 90-94s bring me so much nostalgia.
I was obsessed with the 92-93 ninja team, joes and Cobras. Perfect timing with the Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat figures releasing.
My dad gave me the nickname Chuckles because of the G I Joe!
thank you for the great memories. i had most of them as a kid. i still have a few in my small collection.
I was completely mesmerized while watching this. Great collection of figures. Not as much neon in the back rows as I thought there was going to be :) Late 80s and early 90s had some great figures. I am also proud of my gray hair! Great video
Thanks Brian! I don't think I'll be collecting those neon guys, but still lots of great looking figures from those later years.
@@MichaelMercy I dont blame you one bit. I never cared for the neon.
I love your collection I wish I still had all of mine GI Joe was always my favorite toys & cartoon
I love this vid. You have an awesome gi joe figure collection. I had a lot of the original '82 figures and im glad you kept yours. I gave my joes to my younger cousin but i knew he would love them. I have no toys now but I still have my gi joe comic collection #1-155+Transformers, 3D comics, etc.
Just a quick note to say thank you for the great videos. I was in a near- fatal motorcycle accident and watched your videos in the hospital. I've got a lot of recovery to do, but your videos inspired me to find the Joes I had when I was a kid. Just got a wrecked Thunder Machine I want to fix up. Thanks again for the great videos... "Yo Joe!"
This is such a treat to watch. I'm really interested in your entire collection. Looks like you have COPS, Visionairies, etc. I need to check your channel to see if you do other room tours. Really appreciate this. My first time seeing every Joe. Very impressive
Thanks!
Amazing collection and its awesome to see these figures again. Its like going back when I was kid and just enjoy interacting with toys and having fun. The simple times when there wasn’t much worries or obligations being a kid, lol. Yo Joe! Thank You for the video, content, and presentation!
Thanks Aldrey!
Mr. Mercy I'm glad now through your videos I can see all the awesome Joe's i should have saved. Now that I'm 40 I wish I still had my collection. Only managed to keep Cobra Commander, Destro, and Zartan. The rest I gave to my little brother, which were lost and or destroyed......oh well what a bummer. Yo Joe!
When I was a kid My favorite toy was a GIJoe and unfortunately it was stolen. I've looked its name up countless times and finally thanks to you I now know it was "Recoil". Thank you :D
My dad had a ton of Gijoe figures and he gave them all to me I have like 64 in my bedroom it is awesome
God bless him.
😂
Loved this. I was naming them all before you did. The things you remember…
Did you do a Cobra shelf? That would be rad!
Man your bringing me back into my childhood days. I recall I also have Lightfoot. With this video I'm trying to organize our Joe figures as well. Thanks for the video!
How about Payhfindet?
Very nice, I'm too young to remember GI Joes, but I love old 80s toys!
Thanks!
Great collection!! Some of my favorites were the cobra twins , Baroness Destro Zartan and the Dreadknots!
Nice to see. Reminds me of the 80s. Thanks.
Amazing hands...I was having anxiety watching you complete the process. Your collection took me back to my childhood for the entire process. Well done.
Skidmark drove the desert fox. Ghost rider was phantom driver. Just a friendly fyi. Thanks for shout out. I noticed you need dodger and crazy leg weapons. I have them for you and muskrat gun and unbroken redstar crotch
That would be awesome! Thanks Rob! Also missing the mic and mask from Avalanche and Blaster. I've already forgotten the Phantom pilot's name. Maybe it'll say in his first appearance in Marvel GI Joe issue #76. Hmmm... ;-D
@@MichaelMercy i wish i had a blaster and avalanche mask and mic for ya. If youre ever down my way you are more than welcome to come see my collection and take any spare pieces figs and vehicles you need or want
Love it, i grew up collecting and watching the carton.
Man made my day, This took me back to the 80's. I remember on the card board you could cut out I believe points and send them in when you would order a GIJOE through mail😂👍🏽 and the little booklet you would get in the package to look at all the JOE figures. Man those were the days bro. I would be outside all day playing out a battle field in my yard with the troop carrier rig. The 80's will never be forgotten 👍🏽👍🏽🇺🇸
Ace came with the Sky Striker. I remember he had a parachute that as a kid I could never fold it properly :D I had many of them. Stalker with his kayak and it had a brown machine gun on it. Most of them from the Sunbow version
I never had but I loved Gung-ho and roadblock. They were just massive in the cartoon!
If you guys still love the cartoon you can watch it for free as Hasbro /thats the name of the channel/ streams it 24/7.
With Scarlett, i take some sticky tack and put it on her foot and then place her on a stand using the sticky tack to hold her up. I've also found that smalljoes stands can be too tight in the foot, and if the figure falls just a foot, it will break the peg off into the foot. I use iain Sanderson stands for early 1980's joes in my collection and small joes stands with my late 1980's-early 1990's vintage & the modern o-ring figures (convention, and post 1994 vintage era joes). I also will sand the smalljoes stands down & around to make the peg fit better. Great collection brother.....beautiful collection.
Very nice display! I am very close to finally completing my 82-86 Joe Figure Collection. The only figures I still need is Slipstream, Mainframe, Roadblock V2 & Sci-Fi. It took me forever to find a Complete Heavy Metal with mic, Listen & Fun Tripwire, and a Cobra Viper (Glider) Pilot with near perfect Silver emblem. Sometime last year I completed the Special Mission Brazil Team yet I still need the regular version of Mainframe lol. I do have some 87 figures and I just recently started Army Building Night Vipers. I have been Army Building Crimson Guards and Snow Serpents for some time. All of my figures are complete except for Starduster who is missing his Black Visor. I may just have to go with a repro visor for him which is hard for me to do as I have always been very set on having all original accessories and my figures being 100% Complete with good paint.
Absolutely loving your G.I.Joe videos. Recently unboxed all my old Joes, and have been restringing them and cleaning while watching your vids. You got me so pumped.
Thank you. Yo Joe!
So amaze that you know all the codename of all joe's.
I still have my COBRA HISS tank. Great memories of playing with it for hours.
I just wanted to say you have a BEAUTIFUL collection of Joes, and to say I am envious would be an understatement. I am of a certain age, and I had my share of Joes and Cobra baddies, but you took it to another level. All of your videos are interesting, so I just subscribed. :)
Thanks Nathan! Nerdmasté! 🙏
I like/want all of em I'm 25running but my love for toys gijoes are still the same as when I was a Lil boy. Also my mom bought me a whole lot of toys gijoes and even me I used to save up money before Christmas and when my relatives my mom's siblings my grandparents or my uncle's/ my family members when they gave me money I used them for buying gijoes and I had them a boxes full of toys gijoes.etc but idk where all those are all gone I remember some that I used to gave it to my friends my younger brothers. But most of them are lost. Hahaha those childhood days are the best days of my life and so will be for everyone hopefully.✌️❤️
Fantastic display; thanks for sharing. I got to see a lot of Joe’s that I didn’t even know existed, & appreciate you taking us on this journey. 😎👍
You are a true GI Joe Collector! 👍👍
Maybe you should try some Bluetack (Posterputty for ones like Scarlett to stick them to their stands.
Sensacional coleção...sou brasileiro...tenho 46 anos e vivi os anos 80 e tive muitos desses bonecos, hoje estou correndo para recolecionar...fazendo coleção dos 25 anos GI Joe. Parabéns pela fantástica coleção!
i love ur vids mike all mine burned up in a house fire when i was ten ty for reminding me how amazing these were
Really can see how the joe lines got away from military and moved to more colorful uniforms with more and outlandish accessories and themes
Thanks for doing this ..u took total care of them
Wow, the top shelf, I can remember those when I was a kid, forgot they were called "Visionaries" though.
These are cool Joes
Timber needs it's own riser or to be in the front row. You know all the joes would be ok with Timber randomly running around the photo shoot. "Snake! Get control of your dog!" lol
Great collection!! I also have my Joes displayed so my friends can see them and remember good old times!!! Greetings from Guatemala!!!
Thanks George! Much appreciated.
Incredible display
Who else felt a little nervous when he was putting in Back Blast. Nice collection 😁👍🏾
Thanks! Got to have a little danger in there too. 😁
Awesome collection.Snake eyes was my favorite.
Imagine the playtime with these of course u do 👍🏽
Nice re organization!
Thanks!
I wish they made a General Flagg figure when I was collecting. He would have been awesome to have an old school commanding officer to give Duke and the rest of the team orders.
The 80s and 90s were epic
Awesome! Congratulations
Awesome page, thank you for sharing, the information is great and the figures/display is awesome!
🤝
This video puts a smile in my face
Glad to hear it. :D
Really enjoyed this 👍very therapeutic even ..... brought back some good memories. There was a lot of figures in your collection I had and a lot I didn't. Out of the ones I didn't have my favourite is Dusty he was the one that I never managed to pick up but wanted so much. The countless pegs of figures I went through to no avail. Toy hunting isn't quite the same now as it was back in the day 😂thanks for sharing Michael 👍
Thanks! Glad you had fun. :D
Thanks dude this video plus the history of videos, helped me remember what I had, plus what I really wanted back in the day, these videos have helped me figure out what to hunt for now from back in the day. I just won an auction for a complete jinx and a dial tone with pack and gun, also got a buy now on a mint Lt Falcon......cheers dude from UK........first figures back in the day were action force carded flint, bazooka and leatherneck, plus a loose figure only airtight......thanks again, I keep watches theses over and over
Cool colection!!!
Thanks Jack! Yo Joe!
Wow That's Impressive I had Over 80 action figures for G.I..Joe but what Impressed me the most you can see in the left the Collection COPS I had Them There was One That was A Gangster with a Pink Suit had A Guitar Case With A Tommygun and his Chest would pop open had two guns. Great trip down memory lane 👍.
Michael Mercy, YOU’RE THE MAN!!
Awesome 😎 collection!
Yo Joe!!
I'm so jealous.. Great collection man! Brings back memories.
26:20 best figure ever. Thanks for sharing
Thanks!
Love it. Reminds me of the 1985 G.i.joe catalog cover art with a few Joe's standing in front of the rock title...it just looks great.
Thanks! Yo Joe!
That's the way (I like it)!...Hey Mike, they really look great with that setup, a more detailed view. Congratulations for the Lightfoot, you said before that you didn't like it, but for me he was always one of my favorites, very similar to Airtight with his own R2....👍
Thanks David! Yeah I think that's why I passed on him for so long, his similarity to Airtight. Didn't even know he had those 'hologram' stickers on him, what a bonus!
Saw some I had, some I wanted, and some I'd forgotten.
Awesome vid. So cathartic to listen to. It transported me back to some good times. Thanks!
That styrofoam leveling is very smart. I’m so going to use that for my doll collection. Thank you
Thanks, have fun and good luck!
Very awesome collection Michael. You make me wish I could've never grown up, just stay a kid and keep collecting.
Thanks Eric! Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional. :D
Thanks for this video. Inspiration for my Sunday. Thanks for all that you do for the hobby!
Snake eyes v3 is my first gi Joe figure ( beside Dr MINDBENDER ) after that, I got quick kick then snake eyes v2 and later low light. Now I need is spirit, doc, wild Bill and Scarlett. I mostly don't care if it broken or loose, I just love collecting figures based on they vintage unique history.
Snake Eyes v1 and v2 were tough acts to follow but v3 is just as awesome.
This is hypnotic in a positive way. :-)
Fantastic collection sir. Awesome video you never disappoint!!
Thanks so much!
Awesome collection and great video, thanks for sharing
Thank you. Cheers.
I got into them from the comics in the early 80s… absolute favs that I still own today “80 figures in mint condition”.. the gold helmet Destro .. Xemont and Tomax , Zartan, Serpentor ! Those special figures that came with their vehicles were always so special .. u were the shit if u had them in school lol.. Didn’t it start with the Twins ? Coming together in the special pack ? Then Zartan and his swamp ski .. then Serpentor and his chariot .. ? My last set was SGT Slaughters crew that all came together in a set .. as well as the Cobra La set .. with that cool as dude who had the snake body that bent “lost that set sadly except one of them .. he’s like a light purple .. I’m 46 now so I’ve Forgotten so many names.. tunnel rat was so bad ass.. Taurus ?? Never knew about that one.. OUTBACK was also a fav.. BATTLE FORCE 2000 that’s what they were called !! Along with COBRA LA.. battle force was based off of the ALIENS marines. Is hard ball based off Griffey ??
One of my best memories was visiting England in 1989, and finding most of the 1986 lineup under "action force, a real international hero"(🤮).
I spent every last pound i could dig up...
I'm from UK and bought one every week with my pocket money I even had the cobra boat best figure's ever loved them my back garden was a entire war zone I made bases out of everything haha I can't believe myself though when I got to about 15 sixteen I sold everything to fund my aggressive skating to get new skates even though I loved skating I wish I could go back and tell myself not to sell my action force g I Joe's .....gutted I don't have them anymore but I still got storm shadow and Duke and cobra commander in action man size in box at my mum's loft lol
