This is awesome! I love the part when you remove his boot according to instructions. Many other funny and instructive scenes. I was 7 when I got my first GI Joe, in 1968. I bought it with a 5-dollar bill my grandmother sent me for my 7th birthday, and I got change back from that $5. : D
I grew up obsessed with the '80s line, but I don't think they hold a candle to these old ones.
Agreed, I was born in 87' so the 80's GI Joe's were my first look at GI Joe, love the 80'S Joe's like Lady Jaye & Zarana, but I gotta agree w/ you these GI Joe's are awesome 😄
When Christmas of 1964 came around I got my first GI Joe. Sometimes I wish I still had it today along with the foot locker and the other accessories. I also remember joining the GI Joe fan club, getting an iron on patch which my mom ironed on a t-shirt then also getting a set of dog takes to go with it and the certificate saying I'm in the fan club. Those were the days still wish I had all that stuff. 👍🇺🇸☮️
I grew up in a home that me and my Joe would go on adventure after adventure. Joes were and are for me bigger then a action figure. They are part of me and 1 of the best parts. I look at my Joe, which I have and I smile and remember good times. And sadly a lot of people these days really need that. They have never made a great action figure like Joe and I am damm proud to have been in that generation. Your points are more then valid and I agree, thanks for the time travel it made me go get Joe off my shelf and remember. Everybody be safe and take care see you on the next adventure...
My uncle gave me lots of GI Joe figures when I was little I wish I still had the 1964 one he gave me
Thanks for this one! My brother and cousins had the Joes from the late 60s/early 70s...Uncle had the original line. We girls used to borrow them...they made better dates for our Barbies!
+AnnMarie Evetts That's awesome! G.I. Joe has had a long on-again, off-again relationship with Barbie. :)
AnnMarie Evetts my mom thought so too, she hated ken... later that year I was invited to a friends house and saw a ken... it disgusted me
@@Sgt-lott10 lmao 🤣😂
Haha lol, me and my sister (mostly me) I like to poze and play with my vintage gi joes and I take my sisters dolls and yk;)
lol
Great review! My brother and I got some of the 12 inch G.I. Joe's during the late 70's. I had the yellow hair action solder and my brother had the Land Adventure. We also collected the Fisher Price Adventure People and then RAH G.I. Joe. During the years I always liked the 12 inch Joe's and wanted them. Guess that's why I collect them today. I have 2 of those footlockers I did a review of them on my channel.
Holy Moly I still have that foot locker, I've used it as a tool box for 50 years
Great Review. I hope G.I. Joe never dies. thanks for taking the time and doing this. I feel the same way as you do when it comes down to GI Joe for the next generation.
+Tim Kasa Thank you!
Smart...very well done! Mission Accomplished!
As someone who had Joes in both the 70s and early 80s, I can truly appreciate the love that you put into this video. HCC788 for Pres. 👍🏾
your enthusiasm kept me tuned in. Nice work
When he took of the boot and his foot came off in the boot, that right there brought back a flood of memories as a kid!
You should do an updated version of this video.
I grew up in the 70s in RI, birth place of Gi Joe. We had friends with relatives that worked in Pawtucket for Hasbro. Adventure Team GI Joes everywhere in my neighborhood. There wasn’t a boy to be found that didn’t have one. GI Joe was the greatest toy of my childhood.
never really delved into classic gi joe before, this is cool! not something i would collect but i remember my dad talking about having this kind of stuff as a kid
GI Joe … The Greatest Gift I Ever Got For Christmas!!!
1964 4yrs Old
With Footlocker Some Accessories
Loved It
Beatle Records & LEGO Too😊
I as born in 1970 so I got to experience both eras of GI Joe. My older brother gave me his adventure team GI Joe with equipment and an older military GI Joe.They were my favorite toys until the relaunch in the 3 and 3/4 inch scale in the early 80's. I was all in because as much as I liked the Star Wars movies I didn't care for the toys. I collected GI Joe until my late teens. It's a fun hobby and I collect both lines today. I don't know about the future for GI Joe. Hopefully Hasbro can reinvent it as a toy for kids. They seem to focused on making stuff for collectors and the problem with that is that stuff that's made to be collectible ain't fun for kids so it's never really a collectible later on.
I've always found it interesting how Hasbro ended up going down the exact same path twice with the brand as it started to peter out. Both the original line and the 80s line had to resort to a cyborg (Mike Powers/Robo-Joe), aliens (The Intruders/Star Brigade) and a slight rebranding with scale change (Super Joe/Sgt Savage) as things wound down the final year or two.
My brother and I had these back in the 70's. I really enjoyed them a lot. It was really cool how you could put your GI Joe into different adventures. Great video again!!!!
+Count Stankus I hope looking at an old Joe brought back some good memories.
HoodedCobraCommander788 Man, it always does!
Great review!! I remember playing with the 12" joes. My brothers had the yellow 6x6 vehicle and the fuzzy head joes. You made a very good point, about GI Joe, pioneering the way future action figures would articulate, thanks for the memories. "Those who fail to study history, are doomed to repeat it" -Winston Churchill.
+Byron Kellogg Not many viewers remember the 12" Joes. I'm glad we were able to bring back some (hopefully) good memories.
HoodedCobraCommander788 Those were hours of fun. :0
This had to be one of the coolest videos you have done. Though most of us who watch your channel are 80's kids everyone of us knows where our roots come from. and I really liked how you talked about the future of the brand and you made great points. Again excellent review of legendary toy.
+Chris Michalec Thank you. I respect your opinion, so I look forward to hearing what you think of my reviews. I get too close to the projects, so I can't always tell if they turn out well. I'm all about roots! In everything I enjoy, I want to see where it came from!
my mom worked at Tops summers and she would bring home some opened or returned toys I got my gi joe's and a few outfits most of our extras where hand made my best friends dad was helpful with us
I had the early seventies GI Joes I had everything they made wish I still had them
Thanks for appreciating ower generation of Joe enthusiast's, I still have my four of Joe's plus my brothers Joe. I loved that when my kids grew up they were producing the 12 inch Joe's again so I collected for myself and my boys. They each had around twenty different Joe's a piece and so many vehicles, motor bikes etc. When I started collecting I bought the unusual Joe's like the medal of Honor recipients, presidents and the ones I could find. Between my collection and my boys we have around a hundred Joe's, all of mine MIB but I kept good watch on my boys Joe's so they still have their equipment. Anyways I would appreciate it if you could send me a friends request, I'm not really good with those type of things. Thanks.
Brilliantly well Done. Brings back memories 👍♐️
I just watched this review and it was great! I was into GI Joe from just a couple of years of the military ones to the first few years of the Adventure Team. Who knows what the future of the toy line may be. Would be great to see kids not playing video games and spend hours in the fresh air playing with toys like these. I'm sure you did with your Joes as much as I did with mine. I even introduce my son to both versions and he still has them so he can pass them on when he has kids.
wow just wow on the info. what a great deal greatly done
Excellent video. Probably your best one yet, just for the history lesson and your editorial.
+JayFamous13 Thank you!
Nice review of the 1964 G.I. jOE and acknowledging the kids of that era making G.I. jOE a success so that your generation could enjoy G.I. jOE and maybe some incarnation of G.I. jOE for future generations!
I really loved this video, especially your epilogue piece about the future.
THank you!
I have all my grandfathers old gi joes and I play use them all the time
Great video. I had several Joes back in the 70's greatest toy I ever had. All the kids on the block had at least one and so you just divided up the kids into sides so Joe never needed a real enemy. That, I think, is the problem most collectors do not realize today. We didn't play with our Joes alone in the bedroom (unless we were sick) so we didn't need a whole lot of them and an extra enemy that we got the story line from some TV show. We got our Joes out and played to together and thought up the story line ourselves. Joe came as an astronaut, as a jungle explorer, as a pilot, as a fireman etc. On his off time he was dating Barbie, beating up Ken and just plain saving the world. I also had a 12" black knight with all the armor and horse to go with him (which was a hit with my sister's Barbie) but for the life of me, I cannot find anything on him at all - he fit in well with Joe and my Mom even made civilian clothes for them both.
P.S. We hated Kung-Fu-Grip because the fingers always broke off after a sort time.
I was a huge GI joe fan when I was growing up in the 60's. "santa" used to bring stuff for me each yr.
I found my great GI JOE 1964 action figure in box since 1979---2023 saved x years in this box I took out from the box today in good conditions 😮😮😮
As a 15 year old of the modern times currently collecting the Classified Series and any 80's style figures I can find, it's nice to see the roots from the 60's compared to the new stuff of the 2020's.
Hey me too dude, high five though I can't buy gi joe action figures because I am in a very moderate family
Ur collecting classified? I like them a lot but The prices sky rocketed
I thoroughly enjoyed this video... One of my favorites you have ever done... I agree with almost all of your takes... For GI Joe to be relevant for kids Hasbro needs to tap into what they would enjoy... I don't see kids playing with the Joe's we love and grew up with... Yo Joe!
Amen brother!
+Brian Reese Hasbro has made so much money on the property, I have to believe at some point they will see the dollar signs and put the effort into reviving G.I. Joe. I don't know what form G.I. Joe will take when they do.
Great video....as a kid in the 1970's. ......I salute you!.........great job!
Thank you! I had a lot of fun doing it!
This is fantastic. I have never gotten a chance to get my hands on the Original Joe, so I am very happy that you went into such depth with this review. Thanks HCC!
The Carbine with the extended magazine is actually a M2 which is the automatic version used by most soldiers at the time.
I actually really agree with you with a lot of your views on how GI Joe could work in the future. Your comment on how the future of GI Joe will likely be different from ours like ours was different from our parent’s version reminds me of when The Rise of Cobra came out and a lot of people would complain that it wasn’t exactly like the old cartoons and toy line and I thought that was the point. That this was the next generation of GI Joe. (Mind you it could’ve been done better)
The multimedia thing is true too. I’m sure some might lynch me for this but I think GI Joe could benefit from making a game like Fortnite. Similar gameplay, be free with in game purchases, and use it as the drive for a toy line.
Love vintage ❤️great video brother❤️
I like how they gave Duke the scar on the face for the G.I. Joe movie. Also, with the hat he reminds me of pics of my own father from his days in the tail end of WW2 when he was stationed in Japan!
excellent video!!
i love this figure. i have him with brown hair. i had no outfit for him for years. and i found some gijoe outfits on ebay. i got one so he has a outfit now. i made a video of a few of my 12 inch joes in the mt hood national forest. macro shots of them. one is not a joe but i got him at goodwill for 2.99 with no clothes and i got him a gijoe outfit on ebay and he is cool. it is my first gijoe related video i ever put up. vinage joes are awesome.
The 'Sea Explorer' Boat from Adventure people was my Joe's primary Water Craft up until I got the Devil Fish. It had a very cool glass bottomed jet powered thingy. Without it they would have been stuck on the Tactical Battle Platform as I did not own any other vehicles that were water capable (apart from Cobra Ones). Its a huge benefit of having multiple toy lines in the same scale.
I used adventure people as civilian victims, lol
cool man you went in the way back machine...i always was curios about these vintage joes i was born in 71 and when i was old enough the flock haired ones were just going out of production...never had any of these ...pretty cool ..nice review my friend too bad they don't make them like this anymore
Great video!
that extra articulation point is in the base of the head but above the neck. he should have a swivel on it. great review of this guy and history of the figure. .
Nice break down thanks
I sadly have to agree with you. I think I was part of the last generation to actively strive for new action figures as a kid. Since I was born in '95, I had it pretty decent. Growing up into the early 2000's it was still doing okay. G.I. Joe was a bit more silly with the Spy Trooper and Valor vs Venom stuff, but I wasn't complaining, I had cool figures and cool tanks and jets to fly them around in. Jurassic Park was slowing down a bit since the third movie didn't have an AMAZING line of toys, but I still had my older ones and my cousins stuff to mess with too. Transformers were a bit more gimmick based, but they weren't flimsy like now, they were stiff pretty hefty toys!
Its sad to be a part of these fandoms now and see these lines almost deteriorating and rotting away rather than just being discontinued for a while to gather new ideas. The plastic qualities are lowering every year. Quality Control is failing more and more. Remolds and Repaints are commonplace. And worst of all, even some of the new stuff is just boring now! I wouldn't mind if G.I. Joe took a hiatus or focused on media for a while, but so far I still haven't seen any of the recent media that's been all that great to begin with!
The last Joe show I saw that I was remotely interested in was Sigma 6, and that was because it was a smaller team focused on combating a larger Cobra. Hell I even liked some of the toys. I wasn't the biggest fan of the more stylized, cartoon designs, but they still stayed relatively "believable" for a while before I think Hasbro decided to get rid of the Sigma 6 name and just use that design type for a bunch of new toys. But that was still almost a decade ago if I remember right. That's a big gap of nothing all that great to take on such an important title like G.I. Joe.
was born in 95 too. my an my cousins would play with these in the grass, even by myself. shit was fun being able to swap out gear an guns
cool information and review of a classic
+james strickland Thank you!
i had so many action man figures from the early 2000
A good historical record. This video was expertly produced before the awesome magnitude of the valverse😛
very informative, and insightful... I agree, that multimedia is key. aggressive marketing, a netflix series, a well produced videogame, like fallout, or cod, a good movie franchise, webisodes, or even a well written cartoon series that showcases new characters and vehicles that are being released...
+myke horsley If we could have something along those lines, the toys would follow. But whatever they do, it needs to be groundbreaking and high quality.
There actually is a version of the 60’s GI Joe in the 80’s toy line. Joe Colton! He was originally offered as a mail away figure, His original 90’s figure featured the iconic scar and green beret and If I remember right I’m pretty sure Joe Colton started the 80’s GI Joe team
Everything you stated in the video is so true. Its so unfortunate that kids nowadays are exposed to ipads and xbox, whereas it used to be outside fun and toys!
+The Casual guy Kids these days!
Not all kids are like that cause I’m 11 and I love the old toys even a lil bit of the old games like street fighter or double dragon. I also have the original voltron toy that my dad had as kid and I do kind of agree with you that kids these days are addicted to video games.
Hey I’ll get one right away!
Man! good to see my old toys, I loved G.I. Joe, I use to dig trenches for these big dudes, lots of fun!!
The g I joes that had the Crodey con-fu-grip there fingers all was cam of. cool video 😀😀😀😃😃😃😃😃👍👍👍I LOVE G I JOE!!!!!!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
By the time I got mine it was Palitoy Action Man and he came with a grey cup looking device to put over his flexible rubber digits when changing outfits- to keep the fingers from getting hooked in the garments- doubled as a cup😂
Good video Bro!!!
My G.I. Joe did everything. 1967, '68? He went into space, in more than one sense of the word...he drove vehicles over cliffs to surprise the enemy...he got shot at...he faced the giant "dog monster" but unfortunately came out second best in that one. Explosives expert as well. Handkerchief parachute or bathtub submarine, underground or in the treetops, Joe defended The USA and my home. G.I. Joe!
I have one of these! my grandfather gave it to me and he had almost all of the equipment, but the arm and leg was kinda broken but they were fixed with wire
Also mine has brown boots!! :P
I still have my brother's origianl G.I. Joe Action Solider with a ton of accessories. I also have his John Glenn moon landing shuttle and 45 record.
So I take it everyone forgot about the Classic Collection from 1996?
pretty insightful.
You provided a great review and history of the IP. I like your overall summary. I totally agree with you. My ten year old loves ARAH and the vintage 12" line. Unfortunately, the only action figures priced and marketed for kids are the 1:18 five POA figures NOT made by S7. Wave one of Voltron LD never saw a Wave 2. Matty Collector made lions the 3 3/4 figs could pilot decades ago; where were those pilotable lions for Netflix's Legendary Defender? The biggest action figure toy line, made for kids yet purchased by adults is the Fisher Price (Mattel) Imaginext. Just as Fisher Price took the idea of Adventure Team and kiddified (yes it's a word, I just invented it, see 'merica) it with Adventure People, Fisher Price with Imaginext took previous ideas and licensed IPs and made them a scale kids could play with again. Five POA, who cares, look at them. They are great. They also make adult nods to the past. A few that stand out, Clawtron, the zombie (complete with pillow case and eye hole, Jason, and hazmat suit guy, Breaking Bad likeness. And many others.
GI Joe toys were marketed to four and up, just like Imaginext is now. Kids want adventure, kids want imagination, kids want to be wowed! Kids want to make videos. Wow them with toys which can be used in an AR environment. Almost like green screen is used now. It would be an Application included with every figure. Not primarily military. Deep sea, jungle, desert, outer space, neighborhood. Encourage play through the kids making mini movies, commercials, about playing with their toys. Software would allow kids to select themselves and remove themselves. Playing becomes fun again as any adventure they think of can be hashed out digitally in post production. Make they sturdy, play outside sturdy. Boom, the next GI Joe. The very first toys could be from the ARAH era GI Joe, only a few, to transition from GI Joe, back to Adventure Team!
Hello everyone, Johan is closing the funding for the production of Meccano skeletons with hands, feets, heart and organs for 1/6th Hasbro GI Joe figures from 1964 to today.
Thank you very much, Johan.
I was a 60's kid (born in 1958) and to me, nothing beat the 1960's Joes. I still like them, but I loved them as a little kid. The 80's Joes did nothing for me and that's ok. I guess the kids then liked them.
The father of all G.I. Joes...
I think.
Wow! Loved this presentation, learned a couple of things too. Thank you for the share. Subbed.
Did your father collect these figures? We got to play with these in the 80s in "hand me down" so to speak, which in part did inspire us to collect the Joes of the 80s. It was cool to see the GI Joe, in addition to other toys, evolve down the line between parents to us to our kids.
Hay I am 10 and I love playing with my gijoes
+Gijoe Fan567 I'm very happy to know that you play with your Joes!
Great memories.
I bet that GI Joe hooked up with a lot of Barbies back in the 60s
Hello everyone, Johan decrees the public utility on the production of Meccano skeletons with hands, feets, heart and organs for 1/6th Hasbro GI Joe figures from 1964 to today.
Thank you very much, Johan.
Great Video. I actually had some of those Fisher Price Adventure People and they were awesome. Of course, once Star Wars and G.I. Joe came out, they became a part of toy history. I do hope that the people at Hasbro are taking their time re-shaping G.I. Joe, M.A.S.K., visionaries, etc.; but I'm concerned with their "cinematic universe" idea. Only time will tell…. Looking forward to your Cobra video. COBRAAA !!!!
+sonic360 I can't believe I have neglected Cobra for so long. We need to get back to the bad guys!
i had these joe's
Interesting tax note on GI Joe--doll import tariffs were higher than toy soldier import tariffs. By importing GI Joe as a toy soldier--not a doll--Hasbro saved on taxes.
I like gijoe!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you sure? You didn't include enough exclamation points to convince me.
Hi me from the past
Hello everyone, Johan investigates the production of Meccano skeletons with hands, feets, heart and organs for 1/6th Hasbro GI Joe figures from 1964 to today.
Thank you very much, Johan.
Making gi Joe 3 1/2 inches, Hasbro could also sell vehicles. I know the original gi Joe had vehicles to but I don't think to the degree as the later gi joe
That was a Gene Roddenberry show.Very good.G.I.Joe with the Kung Fu grip.
Didn’t say articulations, they said 21 movable parts, they said that for every part used to build gi joe
I was born in the early 60s and collected the soldier series and adventure team aswell along with accessories and vehicles and still have most of my collection nowadays. The 1970s oil embargo caused Hasbro to have an excuse in not making the 12" versions anymore which was weird because Mattel Barbies were still being made and sold, cheap excuse I guess. Anyways, when they released those tiny butt scratching so called Joes I was deeply offended because of being spoiled with the 1/6 scale version. Oh well To each their own. Nice review there young man.
We're talking history here, brilliant!
Are you willing to track down other 12" Joes? I know it could be very expensive...
Thanks for sharing this review :)
+Rik Ice Probably not. After I did the review, I had the evil thought that I would really like to have the other three from the original line. But I don't need them! I want to stay within the scope of my collection. I would not have purchased this Action Soldier. It was given to me, so that's how I ended up with it.
The Kong few grip was no good. They used rubber that crumble up after sometime of use, and that's why they are had to fined.
Articulation:
1. Head
2. Neck
3/4. Shoulders
5/6. Upper arm
8/9. Elbow
10/11. Wrist swivel
12/13. Wrist pivot
14. Waist
15/16. Hips
17/18. Knees
19/20. Ankle swivel
20/21. Ankle pivot.
You need original Hasbro gear for your foot locker, the helmet and carbine are bogus
O GI JOE FOI O MELHOR BRINQUEDO INVENTADO EM TODOS OS TEMPOS!!!!
Eu concordo!
In the UK these were Action Men. I had a ton of them, loved them!
i had the jeep trailer space gemeni frogman set ,mine sweaper jeep display case allguns and footlockers
I agree. I don't need new G.I. Joe toys. My nieces and nephews need them.
The green scuba tanks aren't actually scuba tanks. They're part of a really awesome and rare flame thrower
Do a adventure team g I joe reveiw
awsome
Oh also his Joe came with the brown boots! ;)
Make GIJoe for the kids!!!
From 1964 to 1968 the soldier and Marines had tall brown boots the black boots was the sailor and the pilot .
And in 1969 the adventures of G.I.Joe had tan pants, white boat neck T-shirt brown revolver, shoulder holster, a tan cap and brown boots
It came to the regular, G.I., Joe, and the Negro adventures of G.I., Joe they also had Sailor which came with a black turtle black pants with pockets and a black shoulder holster revolver with a navy cap tall black boots
This is hysterical! The booty shake was spectacular!
I could have got the unopened box for 45 at a convention, would it have been worth it?
