Yeah, I'm looking forward to getting them all fixed and displayed. After making the video, I realized there are a few figures I thought I still had, but don't. Looks like I'll be hunting those down eventually!
@@joefan82 awesome news, new GI Joe movie and miniseries www.denofgeek.com/us/movies/gi-joe/263397/gi-joe-3-news and a new miniseries www.previewsworld.com/Article/219097-All-New-GI-Joe-Miniseries-Coming-in-2019-From-IDW
I had most of those figures. It was around those times when my parents are giving me allowance for taking out the trash. me and my best friend would ride are bikes up to the old Northglenn Mall and by myself a GI Joe a soda and on a good day Snickers or maybe Twix.
I had the green and yellow viper. He comes with a big purple cannon,that squirts water,plus had temp changing color as a wound on one of his legs . Had one of the purple ninjas,had storm shadow and original snake eyes.
I still have some of these action figures. They where my favorite toys growing up in the 90's...I have some of the Street Fighter version too. So nostalgic watching some that I used to have. Awesome!
I had a lot of the 90's GI Joes growing up but I always was a big fan of the 80's GI Joe series and the figures that came out then. My older cousins had the old 80's figures that I really wanted but could never get a hold of. I really envied them for that back then. Now as an adult, I'm starting to collect all those figures I never had but always wanted. Even got four versions of Sgt. Slaughter who was always my favorite.
Wow what a trip down memory lane! I loved this video because it really took me back to my childhood. I got excited seeing all those old faces and masks. What a great time to be a kid that was! Thanks for sharing.
It seems like I entered G.I. Joe right after they stopped making the definitive characters with their classic designs. Chuckles was one that I vaguely remember seeing as a kid, but never had him. I'll probably get some other vintage figures that I wanted, but was never able to acquire.
joefan82 Yeah that is the awesome thing now we can get all toys we didn't have as a kid and really wanted. Never had a Cobra Rattler as a kid but now I own one in really nice conditioning without any broken parts. Take care buddy. Roy
Topside is the Navy figure and I still have him. Great collection. I didn't know anything about replacing the O ring when I was a kid so many of my figures are gone forever but I still have a good-sized collection of my own.
I remembered Topside after I finished making the video. He's a great figure. I didn't know about replacing the o-rings as a kid either! I also threw out some of mine because of it. Oh well. At least we have the ability to find them again.
I had a lot of those characters from The Vintage GI Joe line in the 90s one of my favorite characters is Chuckles and I had that snake eyes from Ninja Force
Lifeline is the guy with the red vest white pants and hat that was one of my faves growing up. Lifeline, Rampart, Shockwave, Lowlight, Beachhead, Salvo, Captain Gridiron, Muskrat, Tunnel Rat, Scoop, Mutt, Law, Spirit, Tiger force Gungho, Heavy Duty Desert Flint and Rock & Roll were my faves
The figure with the red face is Ferret, and it actually the driver for the DEMON. Had those as a kid, really cool figure and vehicle. I didn't have any of the 90s Joes, but it's cool that so many of them has helmets.
i love putting my old figures back together...brings back great memory's, i have pieces , to my tiger force trip wire, but no accessories, back when i played with him, i put him on the tiger paw and he was a stunt driver...aaahhh...the memories
*I* like Tripwire (I like two versions of him - the 1983 version - wearing green outfit, and the late 1988 Tiger Force repaint - wearing brown outfit with yellow chest panel and black tiger stripes).
great collection. you will enjoy fixing them. I have had to repair several and had a blast. turn on the tunes and get in a groove. keep up the awesome work. I look forward to seeing your reviews.
I was at a yard sale many years ago and saw a box full of G.I.Joes I thought I would get some for my son. 20 buck took the box away. There were over 100 Joes, some were customized, plus vehicles. I can only assume they were handed down from sibling to sibling. I had to buy a book just to identify all of them. I saw a few in your video that he had. My son is grown now but still has them packed away.
Great video. I give props to your vid and passion. This is after the era of Joes that I loved as a kid though. This is when they went full on superhero/villain stuff though and I was just out of it by this stage.
As an adult I purchased vintage figures of Duke from 1992 and Sonic Fighter Lt. Falcon from 1991! I also own Ninja Force Scarlett, Pathfinder, and I recently acquired the vintage figure of Lady Jaye from 1985! I have some unopened 25th anniversary reissues of Stalker, Mutt & Junkyard, Flint disguised as a Cobra trooper, and I also have a 25th anniversary reissue pack featuring Duke, Scarlett, Snake Eyes, Roadblock, and Gung Ho! I also own 13 of the 12 inch G.i.joe's
Hi Joefan82! I did not recognize any figurines. Yet I had a good fifty GI JOE, but those you presented in your video, I do not know them. Here in France, the figures sold were related to the cartoon characters. The figurines you own, I have never seen them in the cartoon.
I had a lot of these as a kid -- I think all but three or four of them. I had a lot of the really old versions of some of these guys as well. If I was to go through my collection, a lot of them would probably be in pieces as well. Maybe I'll do that next time I'm at my parents' house.
I only had Chuckles. I stopped collecting around 88, didn't start again until the 15th anniversary in '97. This was a cool video. Hopefully you get a chance to fix all those O-rings and get the missing accessories.
It seems like G.I. Joe has two sets of fans, those from 82-87 or 88, and those from 88-94. While I appreciate the early figures, the ones I had as a kid will always be the most special. I've already got o-rings from smalljoes.com, just need to find the time!
Sometimes, I even have to go back and look at the file card,but I know alot of them by memory. If you come across somebody you don't remember their name. I will be happy to help you. Yo Joe!
man, a lot of figures to repair. didn't realize g.i.joe was into zombies.wish life didn't get in the way of collecting or maintaining my collection. would liked to have been able to show off my collection before 2009.
+joefan82 it was a slow purge and loss due to divorce. still have some, only about 1% of what it was.at the peak I had over 300 figures and 200 vehicles/playsets. now I have no vehicles and about 30 figures. still have inserts and some file cards.
Nice video nice collection! I have some of them. Heavy Duty, Iceberg, Gung Ho, Falcon and Wild Bill. I like the vintage gi joes most. I have many modern figures not only gi joes but these vintage stuff is in my heart! The vintage joes will always be on the top!
Have you ever create your own charters from doubles you have? Sometimes you can make awesome charters,with the right parts. Gold guy is T.A.R.G.A.T one of Destro's IRON GRENADIERS.
No, that's not a later incarnation of the Iron Grenadiers at all, joefan82. That's plain and simple a Headhunter Stormtrooper of the entirely new evil drug cartel faction/subteam. They are the enemy troops to G.I. Joe's rivalling Drug Elimination Force.
Awesome seeing some of my favourite GI Joes there, also funny remembering which ones I owned and which belonged to my brothers/cousins...what a nice trip back to my era!, good memories indeed..... I Remember becoming all an expert in repairing those lil fuckers..., changing their elastic bands, fixing those knee articulations with all sorts of inventions... sometimes even piercing trough them with a hot wire to then tie them together. My oldest brother keeps his practically as new, while mine are all loose. Some of them probably trapped in a box in a dusty closet in Venezuela along with my fisher price toys.... It's funny how seeing a long forgotten toy can bring you so many joyful moments. One of these you show I won in a raffle at school, I was so proud of myself. Thank you for sharing, you've just made my day.
One more thing,sometimes it's funny when the O'ring breaks. I can be in middle of something & hear movement on the side of my room. Creepy huh? (Their alive,lol!) Seriously, I will find body parts in different areas! My tip is check on them once in awhile,they might have to go to the hospital! Yo,Joe!
The Iron Grenadier Driver figure is Ferret and he drove the D.E.M.O.N. not the Dominator,(That was the big black tank that the Despoiler attached to.) 😉
I had all of them and new one cars basses space baces i didint start until i was 19 im 40 now i lost them all a couple of years ago in a storage but i was a fanatic i even started mixing parts and made mo owen teams i had over a thousand action figures and comics i was just finishing my x men and sheald collection i cry telling you my collection was huge
I feel like we've come a long way in terms of quality but old toys have an inherent charm just for being old. It makes them fun to buy even if there's a "better" newer alternative.
Try placing that turquoise BEACH HEAD in the driver's seat of the teal-coloured MUDBUSTER vehicle ! ! You will instantly notice how well both their colour schemes match ! ! ! !
I am not a collector but I do have some from when I was a kid now im 32 that blue ninja with the hole in the forehead his name is bushido from 1992 all my gi joes were bought in Poland and they came to America with me
i had few of what you have most of them i gave away to my cuzin so they are gone somewhere in Poland which i regret because i had the first strom shadow and the second one as well they were from the 80's for some reason i did grab the red ninja called jinx still got her back pack and weapons she is still with me but very loose ;)
So awesome bro,so hard to take care of in thoes days, i wish i Still had them😮. Down here in Texas theres a place called HEB they had them like around $6 or $7 buck$😶
I always hated that major blood looks with all those grenades... he was always the villain... But my always favourite was Hawk. He was the first Gi Joe my parents bought for me.
I do like two versions of Outback - his 1987 version (auburn hair and beard, and wearing white short sleeved shirt), and his UK exclusive Tiger Force repaint (white hair and beard, and wearing orange short sleeved shirt, with tiger face). These are the *only two* versions of him that I *like*. I do like Red Dog, and all the other five members of 1987's Battle Force 2000 - Avalanche, Blaster, Blocker, Knockdown and Maverick. Oh, and I do like 1987's Fast Draw. I like *both* versions of Mercer - the 1987 clean shaven Renegade, and the late 1991 bearded Mercenary (beard is brown, and is a full beard; hair is additionally still brown, but is no longer flat-top, nor a mohawk). I'm aware the late 1988 Tiger Force version of Roadblock's a repaint of the 1984 version (the late 1988 Tiger Force version of Roadblock's moustache is black, he's African-American, is tall and slim, wears a dark green sleeveless shirt, and, of course, is a Joe). I do like Taurus - the third Renegade (if I had him, I'd get *two* figures of him, so that I could have one with his mainline colour scheme - Caucasian, brown full beard, yellow short sleeved shirt and dark green trousers, and one with this alternate colour scheme I imagine him having - orange-brown Asian Turkish skin, a black full beard, a dark green short sleeved shirt and pale purple trousers) [of course, I'd have to use acrylic paints of these colours, and finish all painted areas with a sealant]. He's short and rotund, compared to Roadblock (and, as a Turk, would be Arabic, as well as Muslim), and is a Joe.
I still have all of mine from my childhood. The dolphin went to Deep Six v3. I recognized Lifeline be in your collection, the others eluded me, at this point. I really love your reviews!
I have two, but I didn't saw it in your video. I think it's cobra commander(1991) and the other one is color pink, I don't know the name😅. I found it in my grandmother's old cabinet, and I discovered that it was owned by my father. When I show it to my father, he gave it to me😊 I think it's in 2013 and it's still in my toy collections
Wow, many of these very late figures I haven’t even seen. Crazy. Some of the horrid ‘90s ones have pretty good headsculpts actually. And you reminded me that I still need a complete Stretcher! A GIRL had him in afternoon school and I never did, what a scandal!
The Arctic Joe name was Snow Job. In the movie he was driving the vehicle,while Nemesis enforcer ripped the under carriage and pulled him and tossed him out of it.
joefan82, I think I can help you identify some of your figures in the video: The guy at 7:32 is Breaker. I have his figure in a different version. The guy at 8:46 is Dusty. I also have his figure in a different version. I like your collection. I have a few of them myself.
Great site Memorie lane trip. Joefan I feel you may be able to assist in identifying and even help locate which I believe is a vintage G I Joe circa 1980's do you have an email where I cand send photo ?? would appreciate any assistance in this matter, PB
That was awesome to see your collection. I was able to name them all. I am amazed how Cobra recruited mutanted ninja force vipers (Cobra’s creatures). Cobra Commander mutanted two turtles to take on Snake-Eyes. How will Snake-Eyes survive? My first GIJoe figure was Destro v1 and the Flight Pod.
Hey I've got an old 1984 Thunder action figure and it has green clothes, gray vest, black boots, black hair and a silver belt buckle. Can't find any info about this version anywhere? HELP!
Crazy pants is LEATHERNECK. 2nd snow guy is Sub-Zero. No that Cobra is HEADMAN'S Storm Troopers. Not IRON G. Two COUNTDOWNS FLAK-VIPER FREG-VIPER NIGHT CREEP (pink & purple) LIFELINE(White & red) You have a couple I wish I had. Your favorite Sonic Fighter is SCI-FI! (If you need help remembering their names, I happy to help.) Did you lose your file cards? I have my G.I.JOES on shelves ,on vichaels and in Bases I made. Thank you for the entertainment!
I only had 1987 Chuckles and that astronaut guy you called "countdown" in white and blue. Otherwise, the majority of your figures were later models of many of the ones I had a kid. My G.I. Joe collection ranged from about 1983 (whatever my older brothers handed down) up until about 1992. I had a figure that was top half cobra and below the waist it was a snake. I can't remember his name and I keep looking for him on other videos. He was kinda difficult to play with even though the bottom portion was fairly bendable and sturdy. I enjoyed your video. Its neat to see the figures that were around in stores right after I got done paying attention to them.
If you (people in general, not anyone in particular) had the figure of 1985's Lamprey, you couldn't not have had the boat he drove - the Cobra Moray Hydrofoil. I do like 1984's Copperhead (and the boat *he* drove - the Cobra Water Moccasin) [since he was a driver, and sold boxed, with a vehicle, he had no accessories]. Oh, and other characters not in this video, who I do like, are 1988's Hydro-Vipers, the 1987 versions of the Techno-Vipers, 1990's Range-Vipers, and 1990's Saw-Vipers (if I had the figure of Saw-Viper, I'd use milliput, to give him quite a thin moustache, and would paint it black, with black acrylic paint, and would finish with a sealant).
Hasbro should go full lego with the old line parts. A screw and rubber band. Once as kid you found this put g.i.joes morphed to customs Joe's in cobra suits and more.
I just thought of *other* 1982 - 1994 characters I like, who aren't seen in this video: the Cobra Desert Scorpions Wild Bill (only the 1983 version, who's a pilot, sold boxed, with a vehicle, hence he has no accessories) [and, at least in the 80s Sunbow cartoon, has a brown handlebar moustache] Flash (if I had the figure of him, I'd use milliput to give him quite a thin moustache, and would paint it brown, with brown acrylic paint, and would finish with a sealant) Shortfuse (if I had the figure of *him*, I'd use milliput to give him quite a thin moustache, and would paint it yellow, with yellow acrylic paint, and, of course, would finish with a sealant) two versions of Grunt - the 1982 version (wearing dark green military uniform and with brown hair; I'd use milliput, if I had the figure of this version, to give him quite a thin moustache, and would paint it brown, with brown acrylic paint, and would finish with a sealant), and the late 1991 version (wearing brown short sleeved shirt, dark yellow trousers and black boots, and whose hair is now black, as well as now has flat-top hair) [yet another figure that, if I had, I'd use milliput to give quite a thin moustache, and would paint it black, with black acrylic paint, and would finish with a sealant] Dogfight (has an orange handlebar moustache) [yet another pilot, sold boxed, with a vehicle, hence his only accessory's a black handgun] Sergeant Slaughter (only the version who drives the Triple T Tank; I'm aware 'Triple T' stands for 'Tag Team Terminator', and that he has a black moustache) [this version's a driver, sold boxed, with a vehicle] if I could make custom Hasbro 3 3/4 G.I. Joe action figures, I'd do Colonel Mustafa and General Adnan (they'd be Joes, not Cobras!), and I'd have them too as drivers (where they too would be sold boxed, with vehicles) [I don't know what accessories I could give *them*, but, as drivers - sold boxed - with vehicles, they'd have to have minimal accessories] Colonel Mustafa would big time have his distinctive black handlebar moustache, and General Adnan would have a black moustache (it makes sense Sergeant Slaughter's only accessory's a brown baton, being one of the drivers, sold boxed, with a vehicle) of course, this is *another* character who's one of my favourite 1982 - 1994 figures (not seen in this video) - Pathfinder (if I had the figure of him, I'd use milliput to give him quite a thin moustache, and would use black acrylic paint, to paint it black, and would finish with a sealant) I do like Metal-Head (of course, only the 1990 version of him) [in the new 90s DiC post-movie cartoon, his goatee's dark brown], yet another figure not shown in this video.
I had almost half what you mentioned and more what happened to your cobra set up wheres cobra commander the twins the androids and definitely some regular blue suit ones also the little dudes in the single manned j et copters you need those to plan good make believe wars I played and loved my g I joes until early teens boy did i love them, and then its like I discovered girls big on and then they just dissapeared I don't even remember throwing them out but wow they were my thing for years. Anyway remember to hydrate buddy.
Great collection, brings back so many childhood memories, thanks! In case you still don't remember name or someone hasn't comment it, at @4:42 it's Bushido.
I got the giant robot for Christmas when I was a kid the star Brigade giant robot 4 GI Joe game with the General Hawk. You the one that came in the card
Since my dad was obessed with military he always said yeas if I wanted to buy GI Joe toys. I used to have lots of them when I was a kid and I even had the GI Joe toys version made in (Japan?) if I'm not mistaken. The Gung Ho's Japan version wears hat but it's solid so you can let it off from its head.
@@joefan82 pardon, I meant to say I can't took off the Gung Ho's hat and the Japanese version has more stiff and limited movement on the head compares to USA version. It's really giving back nostalgia to me watching your channel. Thanks a lot!
I remember of vacation from Minnesota when I was a kid coming home with my grandparents that green viper with a black helmet I had that and major blood have the 90s vipers and 90s Joe mixed in with my brother's collection from the early late 80s and the mega Marines monster Sergeant Savage and his Screaming Eagles that giant GI Joe robot I had a lot of them Street Fighter characters and Mortal Kombat
Awesome! These are going to be fun to repair. Fixing old figures is a nice way to get reconnected with them. If that makes sense.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to getting them all fixed and displayed. After making the video, I realized there are a few figures I thought I still had, but don't. Looks like I'll be hunting those down eventually!
good luck getting all the accessories that'll be the fun part

Chuckles, Budo and Hardball I owned as a kid. The rest came out after I had stopped playing with these. Very cool to see these.

I used to have them like 37 years ago.. Man it's a good thing you still have those.. Mines been stolen by my friend and tied to a firecracker...
Merely just being a kid back then, I did not expect that these are worth a fortune...
Topside is the Navy figure and I still have him. Great collection. I didn't know anything about replacing the O ring when I was a kid so many of my figures are gone forever but I still have a good-sized collection of my own.

They are the enemy troops to G.I. Joe's rivalling Drug Elimination Force.
Those were the joes that really ended the collection for when I was a kid. Sad day. But the modern ones from 2011 and up are awesome.

I Remember becoming all an expert in repairing those lil fuckers..., changing their elastic bands, fixing those knee articulations with all sorts of inventions... sometimes even piercing trough them with a hot wire to then tie them together. My oldest brother keeps his practically as new, while mine are all loose. Some of them probably trapped in a box in a dusty closet in Venezuela along with my fisher price toys....
It's funny how seeing a long forgotten toy can bring you so many joyful moments. One of these you show I won in a raffle at school, I was so proud of myself.
Thank you for sharing, you've just made my day.
Hey, thanks for watching!
One more thing,sometimes it's funny when the O'ring breaks. I can be in middle of something & hear movement on the side of my room. Creepy huh? (Their alive,lol!)
Seriously, I will find body parts in different areas! My tip is check on them once in awhile,they might have to go to the hospital!
Yo,Joe!
Good advice.
The Iron Grenadier Driver figure is Ferret and he drove the D.E.M.O.N. not the Dominator,(That was the big black tank that the Despoiler attached to.) 😉
Ah, yes, Ferret! I'm not good with remembering vehicle names. We had the D.E.M.O.N. and it was awesome. One of my favorite vehicles!
The Dominator was even (not only the *last* Iron Grenadiers vehicle) the only Iron Grenadiers vehicle that didn't have a driver.
I need me a Collection myself someday! 🎄
cool stuff!
missed out on allot of the 90s joes good to see them
The 90s Joes get a lot of hate from the early fans, some of it deserved. But there are some great figures from the 90s too.
Yes, there's a lot of 90s figures *I* hate (and I concur that there *were* some great figures from the 90s).
I had all of them and new one cars basses space baces i didint start until i was 19 im 40 now i lost them all a couple of years ago in a storage but i was a fanatic i even started mixing parts and made mo owen teams i had over a thousand action figures and comics i was just finishing my x men and sheald collection i cry telling you my collection was huge
Aww that sucks!
I really like the modern figures so much better. I sold all my classic figures.
I feel like we've come a long way in terms of quality but old toys have an inherent charm just for being old. It makes them fun to buy even if there's a "better" newer alternative.
Try placing that turquoise BEACH HEAD in the driver's seat of the teal-coloured MUDBUSTER vehicle ! !
You will instantly notice how well both their colour schemes match ! ! ! !
I am not a collector but I do have some from when I was a kid now im 32 that blue ninja with the hole in the forehead his name is bushido from 1992 all my gi joes were bought in Poland and they came to America with me
+sebol931 Cool! I'm guessing you had a lot of the same figures.
i had few of what you have most of them i gave away to my cuzin so they are gone somewhere in Poland which i regret because i had the first strom shadow and the second one as well they were from the 80's for some reason i did grab the red ninja called jinx still got her back pack and weapons she is still with me but very loose ;)
So awesome bro,so hard to take care of in thoes days, i wish i Still had them😮. Down here in Texas theres a place called HEB they had them like around $6 or $7 buck$😶
wow you have lots i had less than 10,i did have near all the corps wich was cheaper and affordable at my country :)
I also had some Corps figures. There were some decent designs in those figures. I'll be reviewing some new Corps figures soon, stay tuned!
I always hated that major blood looks with all those grenades... he was always the villain...
But my always favourite was Hawk. He was the first Gi Joe my parents bought for me.
Hi im from colombia, and somehow i still have a vintage collection like yours, ,,
Awesome! 😀
I do like two versions of Outback - his 1987 version (auburn hair and beard, and wearing white short sleeved shirt), and his UK exclusive Tiger Force repaint (white hair and beard, and wearing orange short sleeved shirt, with tiger face). These are the *only two* versions of him that I *like*.
I do like Red Dog, and all the other five members of 1987's Battle Force 2000 - Avalanche, Blaster, Blocker, Knockdown and Maverick. Oh, and I do like 1987's Fast Draw.
I like *both* versions of Mercer - the 1987 clean shaven Renegade, and the late 1991 bearded Mercenary (beard is brown, and is a full beard; hair is additionally still brown, but is no longer flat-top, nor a mohawk). I'm aware the late 1988 Tiger Force version of Roadblock's a repaint of the 1984 version (the late 1988 Tiger Force version of Roadblock's moustache is black, he's African-American, is tall and slim, wears a dark green sleeveless shirt, and, of course, is a Joe).
I do like Taurus - the third Renegade (if I had him, I'd get *two* figures of him, so that I could have one with his mainline colour scheme - Caucasian, brown full beard, yellow short sleeved shirt and dark green trousers, and one with this alternate colour scheme I imagine him having - orange-brown Asian Turkish skin, a black full beard, a dark green short sleeved shirt and pale purple trousers) [of course, I'd have to use acrylic paints of these colours, and finish all painted areas with a sealant]. He's short and rotund, compared to Roadblock (and, as a Turk, would be Arabic, as well as Muslim), and is a Joe.
I still have all of mine from my childhood. The dolphin went to Deep Six v3. I recognized Lifeline be in your collection, the others eluded me, at this point. I really love your reviews!
Thanks for watching! Good call on the Deep Six V3!
joefan82 thank you sir! I always wanted that one, he is pretty cool.
I have two, but I didn't saw it in your video. I think it's cobra commander(1991) and the other one is color pink, I don't know the name😅. I found it in my grandmother's old cabinet, and I discovered that it was owned by my father. When I show it to my father, he gave it to me😊 I think it's in 2013 and it's still in my toy collections
Nice!
Wow, many of these very late figures I haven’t even seen. Crazy. Some of the horrid ‘90s ones have pretty good headsculpts actually. And you reminded me that I still need a complete Stretcher! A GIRL had him in afternoon school and I never did, what a scandal!
Thanks for watching! Yeah, I need to get Stretcher’s hover sled.
that blue GiJoe at 7 29 is phyco something I have it
MultiVerse Studio That was Psyche-Out Version 3.
Just as entertaining as when I watched this a year ago, some nice figures there
Thanks! I know some people don’t like these, but my childhood figures will always be special to me.
I had BUDO and CHUCKLES, except for those two all other figures seemed new to me or can’t recall....great collection!!
Thanks for watching!
Chuckles was my first adult Joe purchase as well!
Sweet!
The Arctic Joe name was Snow Job. In the movie he was driving the vehicle,while Nemesis enforcer ripped the under carriage and pulled him and tossed him out of it.
joefan82,
I think I can help you identify some of your figures in the video:
The guy at 7:32 is Breaker. I have his figure in a different version.
The guy at 8:46 is Dusty. I also have his figure in a different version.
I like your collection. I have a few of them myself.
Navy Guy is "Topside", I think the some of the other guys you can't remember are Battleforce 2000
Thanks!
Great site Memorie lane trip. Joefan I feel you may be able to assist in identifying and even help locate which I believe is a vintage G I Joe circa 1980's do you have an email where I cand send photo ?? would appreciate any assistance in this matter, PB
That blue Joe is Psyche Out.. And Yellow one is Sci Fi
i had about half the figures u have. that version of duke is my favorite one. I never had the original that came out in 1983 I was only 1 at the time
Pink‑&‑Blue guy looks great.
What's his name ?
Yes, that's right : that's *Stretcher* .
That was awesome to see your collection. I was able to name them all. I am amazed how Cobra recruited mutanted ninja force vipers (Cobra’s creatures). Cobra Commander mutanted two turtles to take on Snake-Eyes. How will Snake-Eyes survive? My first GIJoe figure was Destro v1 and the Flight Pod.
Thanks for watching! Yeah, those mutant turtles will give him a run for his money.
Hey I've got an old 1984 Thunder action figure and it has green clothes, gray vest, black boots, black hair and a silver belt buckle. Can't find any info about this version anywhere? HELP!
I had a few of those, the red guy at 1:22, I think you called him BBQ. He would change colors and turn blue if you put him in the fridge
Crazy pants is LEATHERNECK.
2nd snow guy is Sub-Zero.
No that Cobra is HEADMAN'S Storm Troopers. Not IRON G.
Two COUNTDOWNS
FLAK-VIPER
FREG-VIPER
NIGHT CREEP (pink & purple)
LIFELINE(White & red)
You have a couple I wish I had. Your favorite Sonic Fighter is SCI-FI!
(If you need help remembering their names, I happy to help.) Did you lose your file cards?
I have my G.I.JOES on shelves ,on vichaels and in Bases I made.
Thank you for the entertainment!
Thanks for watching! I have the filecards, just didn’t show them in this video.
I only had 1987 Chuckles and that astronaut guy you called "countdown" in white and blue. Otherwise, the majority of your figures were later models of many of the ones I had a kid. My G.I. Joe collection ranged from about 1983 (whatever my older brothers handed down) up until about 1992. I had a figure that was top half cobra and below the waist it was a snake. I can't remember his name and I keep looking for him on other videos. He was kinda difficult to play with even though the bottom portion was fairly bendable and sturdy. I enjoyed your video. Its neat to see the figures that were around in stores right after I got done paying attention to them.
That figure was most likely Golobulus from the animated movie. You can see it here - www.yojoe.com/action/87/golobulus.shtml
@@joefan82 thats the very one. Thank you!
You can't like Firefly without liking (yet another Cobra who doesn't appear in this video) Scrap-Iron (both were Cobra individuals, from 1984).
shermanvermin76 loved firefly similar to snake eyes
If you (people in general, not anyone in particular) had the figure of 1985's Lamprey, you couldn't not have had the boat he drove - the Cobra Moray Hydrofoil.
I do like 1984's Copperhead (and the boat *he* drove - the Cobra Water Moccasin) [since he was a driver, and sold boxed, with a vehicle, he had no accessories]. Oh, and other characters not in this video, who I do like, are 1988's Hydro-Vipers, the 1987 versions of the Techno-Vipers, 1990's Range-Vipers, and 1990's Saw-Vipers (if I had the figure of Saw-Viper, I'd use milliput, to give him quite a thin moustache, and would paint it black, with black acrylic paint, and would finish with a sealant).
Ready for your return brother!👍🙏
Hasbro should go full lego with the old line parts. A screw and rubber band. Once as kid you found this put g.i.joes morphed to customs Joe's in cobra suits and more.
What's up the TMNT? (Silly,they aren't G.I.JOE!) Very funny!
I just thought of *other* 1982 - 1994 characters I like, who aren't seen in this video:
the Cobra Desert Scorpions
Wild Bill (only the 1983 version, who's a pilot, sold boxed, with a vehicle, hence he has no accessories) [and, at least in the 80s Sunbow cartoon, has a brown handlebar moustache]
Flash (if I had the figure of him, I'd use milliput to give him quite a thin moustache, and would paint it brown, with brown acrylic paint, and would finish with a sealant)
Shortfuse (if I had the figure of *him*, I'd use milliput to give him quite a thin moustache, and would paint it yellow, with yellow acrylic paint, and, of course, would finish with a sealant)
two versions of Grunt - the 1982 version (wearing dark green military uniform and with brown hair; I'd use milliput, if I had the figure of this version, to give him quite a thin moustache, and would paint it brown, with brown acrylic paint, and would finish with a sealant), and the late 1991 version (wearing brown short sleeved shirt, dark yellow trousers and black boots, and whose hair is now black, as well as now has flat-top hair) [yet another figure that, if I had, I'd use milliput to give quite a thin moustache, and would paint it black, with black acrylic paint, and would finish with a sealant]
Dogfight (has an orange handlebar moustache) [yet another pilot, sold boxed, with a vehicle, hence his only accessory's a black handgun]
Sergeant Slaughter (only the version who drives the Triple T Tank; I'm aware 'Triple T' stands for 'Tag Team Terminator', and that he has a black moustache) [this version's a driver, sold boxed, with a vehicle]
if I could make custom Hasbro 3 3/4 G.I. Joe action figures, I'd do Colonel Mustafa and General Adnan (they'd be Joes, not Cobras!), and I'd have them too as drivers (where they too would be sold boxed, with vehicles) [I don't know what accessories I could give *them*, but, as drivers - sold boxed - with vehicles, they'd have to have minimal accessories] Colonel Mustafa would big time have his distinctive black handlebar moustache, and General Adnan would have a black moustache (it makes sense Sergeant Slaughter's only accessory's a brown baton, being one of the drivers, sold boxed, with a vehicle)
of course, this is *another* character who's one of my favourite 1982 - 1994 figures (not seen in this video) - Pathfinder (if I had the figure of him, I'd use milliput to give him quite a thin moustache, and would use black acrylic paint, to paint it black, and would finish with a sealant)
I do like Metal-Head (of course, only the 1990 version of him) [in the new 90s DiC post-movie cartoon, his goatee's dark brown], yet another figure not shown in this video.
I actually had the vintage Pathfinder as a kid, but he must have gotten misplaced over the years.
That mix and match guy is: CYBER-VIPERS . Enemy of the MEGA-MARINES.
I had almost half what you mentioned and more what happened to your cobra set up wheres cobra commander the twins the androids and definitely some regular blue suit ones also the little dudes in the single manned j et copters you need those to plan good make believe wars I played and loved my g I joes until early teens boy did i love them, and then its like I discovered girls big on and then they just dissapeared I don't even remember throwing them out but wow they were my thing for years. Anyway remember to hydrate buddy.
great colection !!! you going me years back ... ! why you do not make some of them with new tires is easy ... !? :)
I have a few of them heavy duty was my fave as a kid and i still have him with all his parts
Nice! I wish I had saved all the accessories.
Great collection, brings back so many childhood memories, thanks! In case you still don't remember name or someone hasn't comment it, at @4:42 it's Bushido.
Thanks for watching!
where do you get an o-ring? got the same problem with some of mine..
I got mine from smalljoes.com. Here's the link - smalljoes.com/cat/G.I.-GI-JOE-repair-replacement-parts-57.shtml
We had a lot of the same figures it seems. One missile guy is a Flak Viper fyi.
Yeah, I forgot that one! Thanks!
That star Brigade Hawk they come with the giant robot? I had the same robot with Street Fighter GI Joe and Mortal Kombat Joe figures
No I don’t think Hawk came with the robot.
I got the giant robot for Christmas when I was a kid the star Brigade giant robot 4 GI Joe game with the General Hawk. You the one that came in the card
Since my dad was obessed with military he always said yeas if I wanted to buy GI Joe toys. I used to have lots of them when I was a kid and I even had the GI Joe toys version made in (Japan?) if I'm not mistaken. The Gung Ho's Japan version wears hat but it's solid so you can let it off from its head.
Cool! I have little knowledge of all the international variations. There are some really neat alternative takes on the American characters.
@@joefan82 pardon, I meant to say I can't took off the Gung Ho's hat and the Japanese version has more stiff and limited movement on the head compares to USA version. It's really giving back nostalgia to me watching your channel. Thanks a lot!
I remember of vacation from Minnesota when I was a kid coming home with my grandparents that green viper with a black helmet I had that and major blood have the 90s vipers and 90s Joe mixed in with my brother's collection from the early late 80s and the mega Marines monster Sergeant Savage and his Screaming Eagles that giant GI Joe robot I had a lot of them Street Fighter characters and Mortal Kombat
