I982-1988 Joes and Cobra, you just had to be there and live it, but nostalgia brings our memories to life. Still got my G.I. Joe toys and got them out, cleaned them up, bought a few new ones (retro of course)
I gave my brother my collection at 16 (1994) bc I thought I was too old. The only rule was to not take them out of the house. That weekend he took them to our cousins house and came back with hardly any of them. Biggest regret ever! I had about 80 joes/cobras and a lo of vehicles. Started collecting in 82’ smh
No!!!!!! Why!!!😢 I keep mine in big boxes at my parents house, the men in a case and as much as I would of liked to I didn't let my kids wen they were little play with them, or it was with strict supervision 😂😂 and why am I watching this compilation early Sunday morning remembering all these commercials and making the battle noises, me and my brother perfected thw Cobra laser blast sound..bttttttth, bthhhhhh, bthhhhhh 😂😂 and what thw Hell those new commercials sucked, Street fighter Joe's ummmmmm NO!!!! we don't do that, I was older anyway so around 1991 and 92 I had grown put of GI JOES , Yes Super Trooper, we had him too, we had everything except The USS flag, the defiant, the flag was too big and at the time my mom was like 120$ for the defiant but we had thw Crusader wen it was sold by itself, I remember at Children's Palace my brother and I had only 20$ to use from raking leaves and wanted the Stun, a couple figures and the Persuader, so this was bad and before scanners we put an 8.99 price sticker on thw stun and 5.99 on the persuader, so we had enough to get Sci-Fi and Python patrol viper, thw ones in gray, but that was in like 89 so they typed in thw prices no scanning a barcode, we felt bad but was like we had to have 2 vehicles and 2 mens lol, I hopethw statute of limitations has long passed 35 years??? 😂
I was a 90s kid so GI Joe was a little before my era, or better put not as popular i know they were still around, but i remember visiting one of my moms friends house and her older son collected a bunch of them still boxed! i remember she let me look at his collection and i was hooked. i didn't end up getting many, but it definitely left an impact they were cool as hell!
I remember my very first GI-Joe figures. It was a cardboard playset for Cobra. A Cobra missile command station, I think. Came with Cobra Commander, officer, trooper. I had them fighting Star Wars figures!
The cartoon had been of the air here for so long its weird to think that GI Joe figures were still coming out in the early 90s. I felt like the tigerforce line killed GI joe around here.
man ... is it just nostalgia that makes our current society seem so awful or are things really so shallow and empty that it's just that bad today? Great video.
I remember saving points or something. From GI Joe figures and you could use them to Buy the wolverine tank with i think cover girl and I remember it came with like 12 rubber type missiles 6 for each side !! I think you could get Combes commander the same way but he had the cloth style Mask and you couldn’t get that in stores :) such great memories ❤
it seems like some of the newer stuff (now old, yikes!) I snarled at because it wasn't what I liked a few years before it, I love to watch now. those grenadier costumes are awesome! super trooper actor is a good pick.
I hear ya, Man. 1983-86’ish was my era for Joe. I had the Killer WHALE Hovercraft with Cutter (co-piloted by Shipwreck), the F-14 SkyStriker with Ace, the X-30 Conquest, the Dragonfly Helicopter with Wild Bill, a variety of the smaller vehicles, aircraft & boats & enough Joe Dudes to thwart an Afghani Government Siege. looking back, I was pretty lucky to’ve had those cool crafts, while feeling like a peasant because I didn’t have the Aircraft Carrier. I knew one kid that did, but never got my hands on it. I’d forgotten about the X-30 until I saw it on a nostalgic G.I. Joe toy video years ago, then it came flooding back. seeing pics & vids of those days still makes me feel awesome.
Funny, do you also snarl at someone that enjoyed the new stuff such as Sgt. Savage and Sigma 6 or the movies like Rise of Cobra and Spy Troops? Cause' I'm one of those people that do as my guilty pleasures XD Besides, if the fandom or community of this franchise thinks that in order to be a REAL G.I. Joe fan that I have to force myself to watch the Sunbow cartoon or read the Marvel comics since there's probably a made-up rule that says so? Then I think I'll pass, cause' as a casual? I'm just fine with what I am lol.
If a GI Joe movie had the production value and acting caliber of these commercials, I would actually watch it. They could make remote control versions of all the vehicles for the combat scenes that used them, shamelessly green screen and dead giveaway set pieces. It would sell more tickets, finish on less than half the budget of previous efforts, and bring to light a more nuanced and intellectual dimension to the oversaturated attempts we have been offered in this century. CAST: Ryan Reynolds is Duke Margot Robbie is Scarlet Terry Crews is Roadblock (and Roadblock is Terry Crews) Nicolas Cage is Destro Tony Jaa is Snake Eyes John Lithgow is Cobra Commander Selena Gomez is The Baroness Rob McElhenney is Shipwreck I'm open to other suggestions, I don't have a Storm Shadow or General Hawk yet, hit me.
I mean in my unpopular/controversial opinion I sorta enjoyed the Rise of Cobra movie for the Accelerator suits and toyline more than the movie itself but to each of their own lol.
Had they made it 10-15 years ago: Nathan Fillion as Flint Kurt Russell as Duke or Hawk Denzel Washington as Stalker There aren’t many actors today that can fill the roles of most of the characters.
If you grew up in the 80s, you probably get it when I say we didn’t have a chance. We were bombarded with all this crap almost 24/7. No wonder som many guys my age are obsessed with a collecting this stuff.
4:40 A few instances that Japanese Tokusatsu stopmotions and stringmotions are used in American TVCM. The actual 'in anime' USS. Flag is much bigger. this toy is scaled down to about a size of HTMS Chakri_ thing.
@@katherineberger6329 do you mean when he sided with iraq? I‘m a biz indifferent about it. As someone from Europe, his traitor storyline was what made him insanely popular over here. I actually also never heard of him before that, but I think that was different in the states? The American patriot gimmick was always something for Hulk Hogan so I feel Sgt. slaughters heel turn was the best that could happen late in his career 🤔
In '88 c.o.p.s came out. The action figures were basically larger o ring joes. I would love to see a modern line based on these larger figures. Id definately be a customer. I do love the classified series..but o ring joes mad in this scale?? Id get em all.
10:3513:49 Did Hasbro got this idea of Two - In - One Combat jets from Takara ? (back in the late 70s Takara was a sponsor to Leiji Matsumoto's Space Pirate Captain Harlock TV Anime, and Harlock is shown to have similiar sets of 'armed force toys' similar to G.I. Joe since ARAH era. one such toy is Cosmowing (belonged to Harlock) which can launch another smaller jet 'Vollet'.
21:21 One of my favorite guilty pleasures when I saw the VHS episode online imo since some of my favorite Beast Wars voice actors Scott McNeil,David Kaye, and Garry Chalk who voiced Dinobot,Megatron, and Optimus Primal also voices Savage,Hawk, and Blitz in there :) 31:54 Would pay 20 or 30 to see a Classified remake of that monster character since I love that throwing gimmick he does lol. 32:18 "Cobra makes my blood boil!" I hear ya Slaughter, I hear ya lol. 36:51 XD Temper temper, Cobra Commander. (*sarcasm) TL;DR: I can just hear the 80's era G.I. Joe elitists wanting to come after me with Angry Mob supplies when I said "Sgt. Savage is one of my favorite guilty pleasures" in the first part of my comment since all I also said was that some of my favorite Beast Wars that voice Savage and Blitz were in that animated VHS adventure 🤣
1:27 Thunderclap is quite an outdated artillery, is it really a dreadnought main gun or railroad gun mounted on track carriage?) isn't that kind of supergun outdated even by 80s-90s ??
![Transformers G1 1984-1986 Toy Commercials [In Order]](/img/n.gif)
Walking into a Toy store in 1984 and an entire aisle was G.I. Joe, Transformers and Star Wars.
Sounds like heaven but for toys
Thanks for uploading! These commercials brings back so many memories of my childhood of the late 80s/early 90s!
I982-1988 Joes and Cobra, you just had to be there and live it, but nostalgia brings our memories to life. Still got my G.I. Joe toys and got them out, cleaned them up, bought a few new ones (retro of course)
For a second I needed some nostalgia relaxation. Yo Joe !
Zartan was an amazing action figure, turning blue in sunlight. Thanks for the GI Joe Ads!

Just another reminder that my parents didn’t love me enough to get me the USS Flagg as a kid. 😆
I was a 90s kid so GI Joe was a little before my era, or better put not as popular i know they were still around, but i remember visiting one of my moms friends house and her older son collected a bunch of them still boxed! i remember she let me look at his collection and i was hooked. i didn't end up getting many, but it definitely left an impact they were cool as hell!
So cool to see those commercials I collect gi joe and its a really fun hobby brings a lot of memories
Thanks for sharing
TH-cam is my Time Machine. The 80’s was the best . Saturday morning cartoons
And the toys!
i love g.i.joe
Bro was going in on the Cobra raven song lmmaooo.
I wouldn't have casted that guy as Duke but he's trying so hard. he's putting it all in there.
He's trying so hard that he probably does it effortlessly.
@@paulthomas8884 he was actually Duke all along. they stole the persona from him.
bout time you guys paid me.
Yo Joe!🫡
I remember my very first GI-Joe figures. It was a cardboard playset for Cobra.
A Cobra missile command station, I think.
Came with Cobra Commander, officer, trooper.

Do i ever regret getting rid of my large mint condition gi joe collection when i was a kid!😖
I can still walk you right to the exact mini aisle the GI Joe's were on in my local Kmart in the mid 80's. That Kmart closed 25 years ago.
I remember saving points or something. From GI Joe figures and you could use them to
Buy the wolverine tank with i think cover girl and I remember it came with like 12 rubber type missiles 6 for each side !!

Nicolas Cage is Destro
Tony Jaa is Snake Eyes
John Lithgow is Cobra Commander
Selena Gomez is The Baroness
Rob McElhenney is Shipwreck
I'm open to other suggestions, I don't have a Storm Shadow or General Hawk yet, hit me.
I agree with literally everything but Tony Jaa as Snake Eyes unless he never took off the mask
I have always wanted a shot-for-shot remake of "Revenge of Cobra".
I mean in my unpopular/controversial opinion I sorta enjoyed the Rise of Cobra movie for the Accelerator suits and toyline more than the movie itself but to each of their own lol.

Sgt. Slaughter💪💪💪💪
My immediate thought is that the very badly thought-out traitor storyline in WWF killed off his relevance.

6:53 7:37 Cobra uses alot of Leijimeters :P
7:06 And so does Joes. does this toy comes with Leijimeters? 8:25
11:55 Who uses Decepticon lasers here? Joes or Cobras?

🤣
they must have had a ball designing these toys,
1:27 Thunderclap is quite an outdated artillery, is it really a dreadnought main gun or railroad gun mounted on track carriage?) isn't that kind of supergun outdated even by 80s-90s ??
18:36 Why is Duke a Cobra here? Or is he supposed to be Road Pig?
It’s great they learn conflict resolution at an early age. I mean, if your only tool is a gun, every problem looks like a war…
Gi Joe sounds stupid it should always be action force if they sold them in the UK as gi Joe I wouldn't even think of buying them
