Maisto makes great-looking Motorcycles and these are perfect for 1:18 Scaled figures. I gave my vintage GI Joe Drednoks the same treatment. It took me a while to track down the right ones to give them a unique style. This is a fantastic overview of these bikes! Yes, a quarter inch in this case can make a difference!
Did the same thing myself! The bikers need their bikes! Got Storm Rider and his bike from the anniversary line, added Mutt's bike from the Indiana Jones line, and a couple of Maisto Harleys as well as a flame-deco'd 1/18 classic look (Easy Rider) Chopper. The rest of the gang are in / on the Steel Crusher which I always intended to deco up with chains / decals, etc, but never got around to it. I agree that 1/18 is slightly under. The Diamond Select car size is (I think) 1/15, and that's slightly over. I always thought 1/16 or 1/17 would be the sweet spot... For a little fun, a company released 1/18 scale (ish) 70's Chopper bicycles... I can picture the Dread's riding on those bad boys...
So glad you did this, thanks Double M! I'm a 4 inch Joe guy and I've toyed (lol, toyed) with the idea of picking a few of these up at Walmart. The kickstand is essential for my purposes. At the least I'll get one for Zartan :) Yo Joe!
@@MichaelMercy I swear I would pay for someone to do a good stop motion movie using figures and sets and all the stuff they have in GI Joe and use some effects etc I think it would be amazing if done right.
Great video! This was one of the first things I did when I got back into collecting. I always found it unacceptable that Hasbro made a bunch of bikers but no bikes for them to ride! Even one generic Harley would've made it possible to get a few for your Dreadnoks. I only collect vintage figures, and yes, the scale isn't 100% perfect and they fall off quite easily, but they're finally a biker gang! Loved 'Born To Be Wild' playing quietly in the background! :)
We just picked up a bunch of these bikes in different styles including some choppers for $2 each at a yard sale this past Saturday for the same reason. 🤠👍
The problem a have found with "scale", is the vehicle or structure is sized down within its own dimensions and not the dimensions of the occupant of vehicle or structure.
Hi Micheal,great video about Maisto 1/18 Scale Harley- Davidson Motorcycles for Dreadnoks,Keep them coming, Also your latest video was magnificent, Also I too am a Huge modern collector of G.I. Joe Toys. Those bikes are still killer. Good job Micheal. Like+subscriber. I too loved this. Buzzer has always been one of my favorite Dreadnoks. He looks right as rain on that bike. Now these Motorcycles from Masito is a great addition to the Dreadnoks. I too love that another of my favorite Dreadnoks Zarana has a seat for Mainframe! Also Another great but superb video Mike. Also for me the sequel was the better of the two. I not only like but also loved Clint's relationship w/ William Smith, which boiled down to a western aspect. They both respected the other and liked one another and both men had a code, but they knew they had to find who was the best man. Brilliant but excellent! And great video😃also The Dreadnoks look like the 25th anniversary figures that you still have from both the 1980's & or 1990's. Also the Dreadnoks and their Leader Zartan and his brother Zandar and Zarana are my most favorite Dreadnoks but also my favorite Cobra organization of all time,Also your video featuring Maisto 1/18 Scale Harley- Davidson Motorcycles for Dreadnoks is spectacular, Also thank you for sharing Micheal, Keep up the good work stay safe out in Ca🙂🟢nada have a goodnight, Yo Joe and Nerdmaste.🙂🟢💪🇺🇸 12:40 am.
Now that a great adition to the Dreadnoughts. I got an Kawasaki Ninja from the Maisto Assembly LINE 1/12 for my Classified Snake Eyes, and a bike that don't have a name that I got in a chinese store near my home for Storm Shadow.
Those are terrific!! Yeah I got some of their other motorcycles for my dreadlknots but they were Asian and European brands and I did want them to have Harleys too.
If nothing else, you can always buy a couple of RAM-cycles or/and Silver Mirages and place your Dreadnoks on those with the idea of them having stolen those from the GI Joe team...
I have chameleons for all my dreadnoks, but that's only when they're near water this is a great idea for each to have their own individual Bike.. now if I can only get 1/18 scale guitars,and drums to make Cold Slither. 😅
Yep! Totally agree with every point on the HOGS. Unfortunately my budget can’t handle the lot for my 1:6! But it WOULD be awesome. 🤘COLDSLITHER FOREVER!🤘
Cool video and review on the drednok and putting them on bikes .I also have bought these for my vintage drednok have not had the chance to display and put them on their bikes
I got some of those exact bikes for my drednocks... for zartan i got the transformers animated OilSlick... he's even the same color scheme as the swamp skier... look it up, he's the perfect size and style for zartan
Another great video Mike. But seeing the Hogs all lined up all I can think of is Clint Eastwood, a biker gang of idiots, a beer chugging Orangutan, and the bikers being hosed down with tar, peeled like bananas, bald and wearing cheesy wigs. "Right turn Clyde!" LOL

Those look like the 25 anniversary figures did you have the ones from the 80s or 90s. And can we get a cobra figure set of all your cobra figures. We got one for the joes now we need one for cobra.
there is a bike from Joytoy that would look great for Zartan, it’s like an apocalyptic bike, i think it’s called San Reja or something. you might want to check that out
Great way to start the day. THIS is what action figures were made for. Thanks for taking the time to show.

For sure! For the modern figures, Road Pig is the biggest and the extra height lets him fit better than the others.

Those look exceptionally appropriate! Nice find!
Thanks! Surprised that GI Joe never tried to do 'biker bikes' for them. RAMs and Silver Mirages just don't cut it.
Now that a great adition to the Dreadnoughts. I got an Kawasaki Ninja from the Maisto Assembly LINE 1/12 for my Classified Snake Eyes, and a bike that don't have a name that I got in a chinese store near my home for Storm Shadow.

I've been using these for years with my Joes and Dreadnoks photos. There are many more you can get.
I found some 1:18 Harley Davidsons but they were different colored. Do you have every bike in the line.

… or in this case stolen from a Harley dealership.
😁@@sp0zlizard
Particularly the last bit of music on the fade out... 💥💥💥
Terrific idea - they look awesome

1/6 vehicles are brutal for cost as well as space. Thank goodness for smaller scales!
I made my choice. I’m good with it.🤣✌️🤘🇨🇦 (NOT to say I wouldn’t mind having my ARAH collection back…)
This is so cool right here and i also had the dreadnocks Motorcycle.
Cool video and review on the drednok and putting them on bikes .I also have bought these for my vintage drednok have not had the chance to display and put them on their bikes
That looked like a stressful but fun time. I enjoyed it. Better with modern figures for sure.
Thanks! Not stressful, actually the opposite.
Brilliant!!! Though I think I would get a few of the one that you Zarana on, and maybe a few dirt bikes. Awesome video!!!! 😘👍
Thanks!
What Series is this
I got some of those exact bikes for my drednocks... for zartan i got the transformers animated OilSlick... he's even the same color scheme as the swamp skier... look it up, he's the perfect size and style for zartan
Brilliant! And great video 😄

Thems Black Widows.....
I would try building stands from the center. Try with a glue gun
Nah I like them the way they are.
Bro I got my Harley Davidson and my Adventure Force Yamaha R1 bikes at Walmart
As soon as I saw those saddle bags I thought of roadpig
👏👏👏
