1988 was a great year. Lots of great figures and vehicles that year. If I had a favorite weapon/accessory from that year it's got to be Hardball's grenade launcher; the sculpting and detail was phenomenal on it. Plus the chamber could pop out so you could pretend he was reloading. Lots of fun memories there.
( Video says 88, description says 91) Personally i think 88/89 where the last real good years and then the line became from so so to absolute ridicule ( some exceptions). Try to guess the names that will mentioned. 1. Shock wave 2. Iron Grenadier 3. Astro viper 4. Storm shadow II 5. Blizzard 6. Hit n Run 7. Budo 8. Hydro viper 9. Spear head and max 10 Voltar. (edit) got Voltar,Astro viper and Budo wrong.
Easily one of the best years of joes Ill make it easy All were awesome at the time I wasn't into Budo but hell...we have Muskrat Charbroil Lightfoot Hit and Run Shockwave Storm Shadow II Spearhead Repeater IGs Destro II Blizzard the best snow Joe of all time Star Viper and don't get me started on the big 3 Vipers of 88 Toxo Viper was my favourite.
@@Pegwarmers I just don't know about the Dreadnought gang but I just love them because they remind me of the Apocalypse gang from The Road Warrior from you know Thunderdome
Formbx figured out a way to attach the harpoon gun to the air tank of the Hydro Viper. That way you can put the knife in his good hand and carry all the gear.
Because I'm only just getting back into GI Joe and because he's not in the Sunbow cartoon, I totally forgot about Shockwave, but I remember that was a favorite of mine back in the day. Gonna have to add that to my small "collection" when the cons restart. What a great look.
Love these top 10 lists. Thumbs up guys
Thanks for watching them!
@@Pegwarmers Thanks for making them 😉👍🏻
Wish you guys would continue this top 10 series through the 90s 00s and modern Era. Never stop!
Well we did 82-94.
@@Pegwarmers lol WE WANT MORE! 25TH 30TH 50TH LOL
Blizzard and Hydroviper were both fantastic figures. Keep up the great work!
Shockwave and Hit n Run are the best choices for 88. I loved them as a kid and love them as an adult. Great figures.
They are both great.
@@Pegwarmers They sure are
So Budo didn't make the list? Unbelievable, I had long since got out of collecting then, but that's just ridiculous!
Great list!!! lots of awesome figures in '88. Storm Shadow v2 was the first Ninja figure that i got
Thanks! Storm Shadow is a good one.

88 is a great year for sure!

SHOCKWAVE!!! 💥

Blizzard, hardball, Hit & run, iron grenadier, muskrat, repeater, road pig, shockwave, spearhead and Max, tiger force bazooka are my 88 picks.
I really think you guys should make a separate video of the dreadnok gang and there's a lot of them so it would be a good video
Yeah, a top 10 of them might be good.
@@Pegwarmers I just don't know about the Dreadnought gang but I just love them because they remind me of the Apocalypse gang from The Road Warrior from you know Thunderdome
You do great videos. Thank you very much! Just need a better mic is all.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoy them. Have you see any of the new format. We've got multi camera and better mics. (Pegwarmers)
@@Pegwarmers I have not! I’ll get on it. Thanks.
Disappointed Warthog Driver Sgt Slaughter didn't take the top spot 😎🤪 but great list regardless!
I personally love Warthog Sarge.
Formbx figured out a way to attach the harpoon gun to the air tank of the Hydro Viper. That way you can put the knife in his good hand and carry all the gear.
Concept art for Hydro Viper shows the harpoon gun holstered to the techno-bit on his ankle, but that wasn't actually engineered into the final figure.
Is Blizzard hard to find complete with all that stuff? Or does it help that he’s a relatively late figure?
Yeah, he's got a lot of stuff, but he's not impossible to find.
Because I'm only just getting back into GI Joe and because he's not in the Sunbow cartoon, I totally forgot about Shockwave, but I remember that was a favorite of mine back in the day. Gonna have to add that to my small "collection" when the cons restart. What a great look.
I got one from eBay about a month ago, complete and in good condition, for less than $US20
How do I vote in these polls
We already ran them all, but another member of the Facebook group has been running similar polls once a week.
Spearhead and Max are my favorite. GI Joe has enough dogs and birds. They needed a cat.
Always loved them!
Road Pig is one of the best ever.
He's cool for sure. I played with him a lot as a kid.
