I loved how the early figures and vehicles were all OD Green color scheme. Just like actual military colors.
Michael,
My son is training even now to be a Coms guy for the US Marines!🇺🇸
Great review dear brother! I really enjoy these segments 😁
Bill
Cool, your own real life Breaker! Yo Joe! :D
As with many Joe fans, he was my very first GIJOE back in 1982 at a local TG&Y store.
Me too!! TG&Y 1982!!
I remember having to have Breaker because he was from Tennessee like me. I never considered him the coolest of the originals(for me that was Rock 'n Roll then Snake Eyes), but sharing a home state made him special to me. And somehow the volunteer state got shortchanged with only 3 Joes calling TN home. Breaker, Fast Draw, and Med Alert. We at least deserved a hillbilly Dreadnok.
I loved that he was from Gatlinburg lol I love going there on the weekends 😄
My first GI Joe was Gung-Ho. Man I wish I still had all this stuff. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane!
I loved breaker, he would go on every mission, call in air strikes, and make sure everyone got out alive. As for weapons? Well at the time Bespin Luke Skywalker wasn't needing his blaster at the time, so Breaker used it. Then when the accessory packs came out, he got the repro Uzi which he has been carrying sense.
Another Great review!
Breaker was the character we all wanted when the line came out because we thought Breaker was, in fact, “G.I. Joe”. If you had an older brother or a friend with an older brother in 82, you were familiar with the 12 inch character, and we thought Breaker was the same guy due to the beard. It also helped that he was in the first commercial riding the RAM, IIRC.
Thank you for the review! This is why I love this channel! You do an excellent job of explaining the nuances of what some see as just “toys”. My son and I enjoy watching your work and he understands why our toys were so superior! Lol Thx again!
Thanks, so happy to hear that. Nerdmasté! 🙏
Breaker!!! Thanks for the shout-out and compliments my friend! 😁. Great review, love this figure!
My pleasure! Glad you liked it. Thanks so much for all of your support, means a lot. Yo Joe! :D
This was great! Breaker was the first ever Joe that I ever held back in '82 when I was 7 in the yard when one of my friends brought him to school. Later that weekend, my Dad took me to the top floor of Eaton's at the Eaton Centre (where the toy section was) and I got my first ever Joe, Short Fuse.
Such great memories... thanks for sparking them all with this awesome channel!
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
Hi Michael, I recently discovered your channel and I love it, especially the history sections and the ones that focus on a specific character or vehicle like this one. While I'm also Canadian (Montreal), I just wanted to chime in that in the U.S., pay grade E-4 corresponds to Corporal AND Specialist (with an enlisted soldier being able to move from one to the other in rare cases before being promoted to E-5: Sergeant). So maybe Breaker's not a Corporal at all! It would actually make sense that he's a Specialist - Communications or some such.
Thanks David! I think it's safe to say every Joe is a specialist. :D
You got me into a G.I.joe thank you so much 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Breaker was a under rated joe. But when him and dial tone where together they made comunications there business. Revamp to now they would be unstoppable.
I never owned Breaker as a kid, but he always stood out to me the most in that initial lineup of figures. Probably because he looked like a technical guy and I was always kind of fascinated with technician characters when I was young. I've actually purchased him for the first time recently, as an adult, and he's very quickly climbed the ranks to be one of my favorite Joes.
I joined the Army in 1991, as a radio repairman, but that eventually got merged in with a few other jobs, during the drawdown years of the 1990s. By the mid-1990s, I was a radio and field-telephone operator/repairman. So, I can say from experience that radio operators always carry weapons. We were issued standard M-16A2 rifles and there was never a time when we weren't expected to have it on our person (unless we were in garrison). Also, there are no conscientious objectors that are allowed to serve in the military anymore. I'm sure Hasbro left out Breaker's rifle because of cost reasons, but he still should have a rifle or a weapon of some kind. I bought an extra Grunt M-16 rifle to give to my Breaker figure.
Breaker was one of my first Little Joes. I chose him for his gear, and he reminded me of the 12" Land Adventurer I had in the 70s.
As always thanks for sharing this amazing videos , yo joe Michael!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Breaker was also my first Joe. A shop I go to in Toronto had a complete one, but someone scooped him up before I was able to make the trek out.
Breaker was pretty cool. Also, very nice touch with the bubble gum!
Great video once again. Can't wait for the 86' Joe video. I just picked up my first Breaker, 82 straight arm and love it.
Thanks Wes! Yo Joe!
Loved this figure but I never had him as a kid. For some reason he always reminded me of Chuck Norris in Missing in Action.
Breaker was my first Joe in '82. Years later I kept one on my desk at a 2 way radio shop.
My first Joe was Hawk with the missile defense system and to this day Gen.Hawk will all ways be my favorite.
Your passion for collecting is contagious. I really love the energy you have in your videos. They are also well thought out and made with the TLC these vintage toys deserve. Thanks for making and sharing these.
Thanks! Much appreciated. Yo Joe!
My brother's first two: Breaker and Stalker; my first two: Grunt and Snake Eyes. All straight arm. Wound up replacing all with swivel-arm. Just noticed, Communications Officer is an enlisted soldier, vice a commissioned officer. ???
Great review! Breaker is a pretty cool character. I think he would probably be a Specialist as opposed to a CPL, though. A specialist and CPL are the same pay grade, however the CPL is a leader of troops.
My first Joe was Grunt !! Best Joe ever
Very cool. Found a Breaker not too long ago in a $1:50 grab bag of toys at an antique market. Now the hard part. Getting his accessories.
Excellent review of an excellent figure, good job.
My first Joe and still my favorite I have a couple of each and also an Argentinian and Mexican versions of breaker
Breaker was not my first figure and G.I. Joe wasn't really even on my radar until the Sunbow daily cartoon aired side by side with Transformers.
Allways enjoy your GI JOE videos! Thank you! GI JOE FOREVER!!!
Thanks, Yo Joe! :D
I had the same, with the straight arm.whatta thrill to see it again!
Dude, you HAVE to get the Classified version of him and the RAM! It's fantastic.
He does look pretty cool. I'm happy with what I've got though.
He was my first Joe too!
Breaker wasn't my first Joe, I never actually had him nor the R.A.M. Cycle as a kid. Ironically though, I did get the Silver Mirage, and with it I bought Dial Tone. Classic review sir, thank you! See in the next one!
Neve thought of putting Dial Tone on the Mirage but that sounds like the perfect update of Breaker on the RAM.
@@MichaelMercy Yeah, it was a cool update!
My very first joe was Recondo. however the original "in uniform" joes are all amazing.
Michael you did it again with this video. Awesome content and very informative information on Breaker. I’m going to buy one now.
Thanks! 🙏
Really great video! I really enjoy how much detail you get into. I love these trips down nostalgia lane. Awesome job man!
Thanks! 🙏
I suspect they gave him stubble to more closely match his card art, and that doesn't have a beard. He also didn't have a beard in the comics.
Excellent review, Michael. Respect the amount of effort that you put in to these reviews as well as the level of detail that you put into them. Cheers M
Thank you! 🙏
I still have his head and the internal left thigh piece!!! Really love your videos, keep up with the always excellent work!!! Greetings from Brasil!
Thanks! Yo Joe! :D
Yo Joe!
I remember when Joes were $1 before we heard of toys r us. Back then we could pick up joes from the local pharmacy, Woolworth, kb toys in the mall, Kmart, and Lionel play-world
My first joe. Straight arm. Breaker started it all.
Sometimes the old is better than the new.
In an infantry unit they are all fighting soldiers. They may get extra training to be the radio guy... but that’s about it especially in the old days
I can't remember seeing the early figures in stores around my part of the world. I do love the piping some of the Joe's came with to link their back pack to their gun or helmet etc.
Very cool video of G.I. Joe Breaker.
Had him myself
Always liked the figure.
I remember GI Joes cost $2.99 at my local Skaggs Alphabeta.
I'm 10 years old and my first gi joe is salvo from 1990.
I have 5 Joe's 1 cobra and 4 vehicle I'm there in good shape for now.
My first joe was Flint, loved that little shotgun he had
Yo Joe ! Breaker had some cool esp in the sunbow cartoon
I think I had Breaker but in the straight arm version.
I dont remember if my first gi joe was gun ho or rock n roll I think I got both
Hey Micheal! Great video as always.
I've always wondered why your YT videos doesn't have a like/dislike voter count?
Thanks Joe! I talked about it in Patreon Exclusive #1. :D
@@MichaelMercy Thanks Michael. I'll check it out. :-)
@@MichaelMercy I just watched it. Makes a lot of sense to me. I can't imagine why someone would thumbs down one of your videos, and yet we all know those sad little trolls are out there.
And my latest gijoe is ace :D
Here’s an idea: The Joes always shouted their battle cry in unison, so I think it’d be cool if you overdubbed multiple takes of your “Yo, Joe!” sign-off (maybe slightly altered to sound like different voices), to emulate the TV show.
Just a thought; keep the great retro reviews comin’. 😎👍 #nerdmaste 🙏
I could have gotten snake eyes or any other 1 I got breaker and he was my only one for a long time I think it was because he looks like the old 12 inch Joe he had a lot of adventure s with my star wars vehicle s
My 2nd Joe!
1st was Short Fuze
That's funny, my 2nd was Short Fuze. :D
My first joe is hit n run...
Can you do a review on the G.I. Joe X-30Plane
Breaker is such a great figure. I only wish that he came with a gun.
What happened to dial tone?
Weird question, did you go to Resurrection high? & Did you know Chris Biron?
Double nope. :D
@@MichaelMercy Np, still love the 80's stuff :D
