Between 1982 and 1994, the G.I. Joe toy line released a vast number of action figures. It's important to note that G.I. Joe figures were continually released during this period, with new waves and variations introduced each year. Additionally, subsets, exclusives, and international releases contributed to the overall variety of figures available.
While it is challenging to provide an exact count due to the sheer number of releases and variations, I can give you an estimate based on the information available up until September 2021.
During this period, there were approximately 500 to 600 unique G.I. Joe figures released. This estimate includes figures from the "Real American Hero" line and other related lines such as "Super Joe," "Sgt. Savage and his Screaming Eagles," and "Star Brigade." It encompasses figures of different characters, variations, and exclusives.
However, please note that this estimate is a rough approximation, and the actual number of figures may vary depending on how you define "unique figures" and whether you include international releases and exclusives. To obtain a more comprehensive and accurate count, you may want to refer to dedicated G.I. Joe collector resources or websites that specialize in cataloging and documenting the various figures released during this time frame.
Between 1983 and 1994, the G.I. Joe toy line saw numerous variants in addition to the main releases. These variants included different paint schemes, accessory variations, packaging changes, and exclusive figures. Counting the exact number of variants is a challenging task due to the sheer volume and complexity involved. However, I can provide a rough estimate based on the available information.
Estimating the number of variants is subjective and can vary depending on collectors' perspectives and criteria for defining a variant. With that in mind, it is estimated that there were hundreds, if not thousands, of variant G.I. Joe figures released during this period. This includes figures with different color schemes, equipment changes, exclusive releases, mail-away promotions, international versions, and more.

The G.I. Joe collecting community is passionate and dedicated, with collectors and enthusiasts meticulously documenting and cataloging the various variants. If you're interested in exploring the vast world of G.I. Joe variants in detail, I recommend referring to dedicated G.I. Joe collector websites, forums, or resources that specialize in documenting and discussing these variations. These resources can provide you with a more comprehensive and detailed understanding of the numerous variants released between 1983 and 1994.
es, there are indeed different versions of the G.I. Joe Steel Brigade action figure. The Steel Brigade is a popular character in the G.I. Joe universe and has had multiple releases and variations over the years.
The original Steel Brigade figure was released in 1987 as part of the "G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero" toy line. It featured a unique design with a red beret, a gray uniform with camouflage patterns, and a removable helmet and visor. This version of the figure is highly sought after by collectors.
In subsequent years, there have been additional releases and variants of the Steel Brigade figure. These variations can include changes in paint schemes, accessories, packaging, and even different character codenames. For example, there have been Steel Brigade figures released in different colors like blue and black, as well as versions with different equipment and weapon combinations.
Furthermore, there have been exclusive Steel Brigade figures released through conventions, special promotions, and subscription services. These exclusive variants often feature unique color schemes, accessories, or other distinguishing features.
To get a comprehensive overview of the different versions of the G.I. Joe Steel Brigade figure, I recommend consulting G.I. Joe collector websites, forums, or other dedicated resources that specialize in documenting and discussing the various variants and releases. - บันเทิง
Who wants to keep watching us complete this?
Any content is good content 💯
I love all of your content.
I would watch it. It be awesome if you show your complete set at the end
oh heck yeah
Were u located
Please keep putting these out. I freaking love your channel. Great work as usual gang.
I love talking about vintage joes and love seeing people talk about vintage joes
I keep the yo Joe website saved to my home screen. It's a great database and shows every version of every Joe ever made. It even shows what every mold each one was used for. I love the books but it's a lot easier than flipping thru pages searching.
Sure you do
@@ricksterk7014 you don't know what to do with your hands.
This Channel has become one of my favorites, awesome stuff! Keep posting more Joe content! 😎👍
One of your favorites!? Not your favorite!? Hahah. Who's beating us!!
I don’t see a 93 create a cobra. Still the rarest figure in my opinion. I’ve come across 2 in the wild. Sold them both and regretted it every time.
Rarer than the Pimp Daddy Destro?
@@Medieval_Dead hmm actually not sure. Probably not actually.
That’s not a 5 o’clock shadow on heavy metal
That’s a dirt outline of his goggles
O-ring Joe will always be the best Joe. Doesn't matter how much articulation they put into the new ones, the paint apps or anything else. As a toyline, ARAH GIJoe is unmatched in terms of playability, quality, variety and lifespan.
We kind of feel the same way but it could be because we grew up with them. A kid today, the GI Joe Classified line is pretty cool.
You Guys are awesome! I've picked up a 1989 Snake Eyes V3 and a 1982 Flash V1 Straight Arm (both complete) as well as a few other collectibles after discovering you guys a couple months ago! My son and I love visiting there! To anyone viewing and reading this, if you are in or visiting the Upstate of South Carolina, this is a must visit location!
Thank you so much!
180 Carded and counting. 500 loose. 40 cards away from every file card ever in the line from 1982 to 1997. Very proud of what I have been able to piece together over the years.
Oh wow I'd love to see this collection!
Just awesome, just awesome
I found Steel Brigade mail away version wedged in a vehicle 3 years ago. Bought him and a sack of Joes at Goodwill for $13 bucks, Steel and the vehicle was $3 bucks out of that. Made my day!
Wow! That's crazy!
@@toyfederation Gold helmet version, took me a while to figure it was a mail in. I sold it and kept the ones from childhood, enjoy the finds and share with friends.
@@thaddeusmcgrath Yes yes!
Thats it. Im getting back into the G.I.JOE game. This is bringing back to many memories.
Heck yes! Do it!
Looking forward to more of this, I have a decent collection of well played with Joe's, some of my favorite. This video hit me in the feels today, my local comic shop had a long term employee who managed the comics pass away this week. I thought of him alot during this video. I have been going to this shop for over 25 years since I was a pre teen he recommended so many books to me over the years. Hobby shops provide such a great environment and community.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Always hard when you lose someone who had such an impact on your life.
I'd love to see this displayed on the wall
3:19 Heavy Metal does not have scruff/5:00 shadow. Ever seen anyone with facial hair over the bridge of their nose? It’s a dirty face from driving the Mauler with his goggles on and his head out of the hatch.
Oh. That makes sense Thanks!
FANTASTIC STUFF
That is an impressive collection! I could've watched you go through every figure haha.
Right here! LOVED this. I'm a fan of G.I. Joe, but I don't have the deepest knowledge of it. I could have watched an hour of this lol.
Good to know! Maybe we will do that!
@@toyfederation Yah, listen. Any toyline you guys are passionate about and want to nerd out over is content gold
Well good to know!
Mark Bellamo (sp?) is or was a professor at one of the colleges here in NY just north of NY city. Would be pretty cool to have been a student at Marist or Pace University and having an action figure guy as one of your professors. Besides that, who doesn’t love Joe content? Just under two months til I can see the store in person.
Awesome!
Awesome collection my man
Great episode
Thank you!
That’s a bunch of joes! Never realized they made so many. Star Wars only had roughly 90 figures and GI Joe smoked past that!
I love seeing your collection! Please in the future show us more!
Thanks! Will do!
To someone My age that might as well be a pile of Gold Bullion. Im a COBRA fan Myself. One of these days they will put it all together. Boom. World Domination!
INCREDIBLE 👏🏼
I love Joe's probably after Star Wars my favorite line. I'd love to have a full 80s run. Trying to collect 4 different lines at once so that'll probably never happen.
GI Joes is second to Star Wars to me as well!
Love the channel! Subbed!
I so need to find time and visit the store sometime. So many parts need to fix my toys from growing up. Also pick up some missing figures I never got.
Please come in!
Such a good channel, wish u had a video everyday.
I have a complete collection with all original accessories from 82 to 90 that I put together. It was not cheap. I even have all versions of Starduster, Steel Brigade, and Recondo.
W.O.R.M.S. and the Maggot was my Favorite Vehicle+Figure...Epic Joe collection !
Now to get EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. graded and then you will truly have a unique collection 😁
Oh God no!
Tunnel Rat from the anime I remember him.
Awesome collection. I wish i could have every single Joe ever created. That would be a museum collection
Yes it would be!
very cool video. love the channel.
Thanks so much!
Good job 👍
Well thank you! What did you like about this episode?
Another awesome video nice collection man.
Thank you!
By far my favorite personal collection…mines not as complete as yours though, lol
You've got a great collection. I want to see it completed.
Thanks! SO do we! Do you have a favorite Joe?
Yes, my favorite GI Joe figure is Croc Master.
@@destructarr Nice choice!
Awesome channel. Yo Joe!
Hey, thanks!
i love watching 45yr old men comparing sligh paint variants on gi joes. i watch this channel often.
Love the videos!
Thanks so much! What video has been your favorite so far?
GI Joe greatest toy line
Wow! That's a hot take! May have to agree, but Star Wars has my heart!
I agree, GI Joe had the most functionality for play fighting.
As a kid in the EARLY 90s I inherited my older Brothers 1982 figures and I thought his mickey mouse CC I got was fake knockoff because of the logo looking the way it did etc.. so I hit it with a baseball bat
Lol damn. Good ol'days
@@surfthestreets86 lol yeah I HATED knock off bootleg toys. I use to see them all the time at the dollar stores. I would see those darn bootleg heman figures Galaxy Warriors or something and also Those fake Galoob Lucha Libre looking Wrestlers in the 1980s and early 1990s and I despised them so when I thought that Cobra Commander was fake I destroyed him. I got the baseball bat I used to use to play baseball with the neighborhood kids with and I sent him into peices all over the road. For Months after when we kids would play Soccer in the street we would step and crunch over the parts of Cobra Commander.
@@KirkLee1983 This is a fantastic story! WE love hearing stuff like this!
Yes please.. some of the best content on TH-cam comes from your store
oh wow! Thank you! Favorite episode so far?
My first Joe toy was the MMS with the original Hawk.
This video needs to be longer ~
We need more in our collection!
On heavy metal that's not a 5:00 shadow that's actually dirt because if you look his goggles are on usually when he's driving the tank and then when he pulls up his goggles it clears the top of his face but his whole mouth and that whole area is dirty. Rampage just doesn't have that dirt
This channel is awesome. It’s going to blow up with subs sooner than later
YOu don't think 11k in 3 months is impressive? :(
Love the SeaDogs hat! Sad Mainer stuck in Oregon.
Lets go SeaDogs!
Absolutely loving your videos! Need to find my old Joes, Turtles, He-Man, and Thundercats at my parents house! Is there any value to old micro machines?
Yes! I love micro machines!
Keep going please this is fascinating
This video in particular or the whole channel? Trying to decide what you guys want more of.
Both
Ha! Noted!
If you need help on a Zartan O-ring replacement let me know. Yo Joe!
That rampage was in my collection for over 25yrs Ryan gets all my goodies 😂
Yo Joe! Another "killer" video.
Thanks!
I’m hooked
Yay!
Got us last week now another day early!
With those GI Joe microphone/antenna accessories being so small how easy/hard is it to distinguish between an original and a reproduction and what are some of the telltale signs? Awesome channel and content by the way, I watch all of your content, it’s top notch!
That's a loaded question, but it's just something that we've learned over years of doing it.
Some of the repros are very easy to tell but a few guys have really good 3d printers and make amazing copies.
Andy reppin' the Portland Sea Dogs. Sweet
Yes he is!
Where can I get those plastic cases for on the cheap. I see they go for about a $1 a pop on ebay. Was hoping to pay much less.
Loving the videos, you should get everyone to sit around and do a live Q&A (or not live, so you can research things your not sure about!)
More coverage of con trips would be cool too
KEEP er Goin !!!
Heck yea!
Scoops Mic is reasonable priced usually as well.
Awsome! More GI joe content 🤘🏻🇺🇸🦅
Have you watched all the other Joe content we posted?
@@toyfederationyes sir!! Keep it coming 🦅🇺🇸👍🏻
“You didn’t ask I didn’t tell” …..it’s can be a shady business you better know your stuff newbies …..same with vinyl record collecting (that’s my other hobby) if you don’t know might wanna educate yourself because some people are not so honest or forthcoming with information and will rip you right off
Yes have some...
Have some?
What book do you guys use to know all the variations of each Gi Joe figure?
Ultimate guid to gi Joe
my Joe collection (huge, including Terrordome) was sacrificed to my aunt & uncles pool circa 1991…after two summers serving as an epic battlefield, the rust and chlorine finally eroded them to dust….my star wars collection (also huge) never left my closet- ; )
Oh wow!
Hi there! Dude great stuff! I am a junkie for variants also so this video struck a cord. Do you have the gold head brigade (sorry didnt watch the whole vid yet), also are you aware of a ninja viper variants (like red and dark red logos and also the no swords variants?
Where do you purchase your O-rings? I purchased some on eBay and every single one of the O-rings I repaired started to snap after 6 months.
Wonder if the top five Joe collectors in the world can be named?
Brad, George, Mike, Bart, and Harry.
@@MSgt_0699 Dats racist, yo!
I was hoping to see you bust out your Nightforce and Stardusters figures.
What an awesome collection, and also very informative. Ive just recently started hunting different loose variants of the vintage tmnt figs. Whats your take on the "yellow eyed metalhead"? You think its a real variant or just the red plastic eyes faded.
Oh, don't think I've heard of this yet!
@@toyfederation yeah, it's slowly becoming a thing. Nobody really knows if it's legit official or not. But they give off almost a cream/white/yellow glow instead of red. And the "brain" in the back is still red. I personally lean towards the eyes are just faded, but I am always looking, just in case it is legit. Get ahead of the game while metalheads are still super cheap and super common, right!
@@jonathanward8967 That's very interesting. We might have to go through all of ours in the back.
2016 I bought a storage unit with every gi joe figure and vehicle made including the uk releases, mail aways, Sears etc… paid $2500 but ended up having massive medical bills and had to sell everything. Most money I ever made but most painful process.
Sorry to hear that!
Ai caramba Go Joe !
Ha. Like?
Ive been collecting joes since 2007, i have the 64-69 joes in every set released except nurse and police officer. I also have all 70s reg grip and kung fu grip figures, but I wasn't too crazy about all the outfits, so I didn't get them all. I did get some foreign joes, heshin cyborg, then i got all the store released 82-2017 figures and vehicles i liked. I then got all the vehicles 2007-2016 plus all the variations i found out about plus a decent amount convention, foreign, etc and then started the classified figures but tapped out around number 50 because Hasbro started ripping off their customers with high prices i refuse to pay
That sounds like an amazing collection!
@@toyfederation thanks all i need is the black cassette from mission brazil to have them all complete. I have alot of 82-94 unbroken accessories and vehicle parts might get rid of and ive watched that your not too crazy about 60s joes/accessories maybe we can work out a trade. Im also looking for certain other stuff like, maybe you can send me a pic of what you have or what I can send you what i need
Are you local?
@@toyfederation no, unfortunately. Im in staten Island new york
question : what book is that ? the one that you use as a guide ?
Ultimate Guide to GI Joe.
Is there a process of protecting the plastic?
Coatings ?😊
Do you sell those holder boxes?? If so I need a bunch…
Hey Ryan, realistically, how much is a collection like this worth? $$$?
An another one.... 💯💯💯
THank you! What's been your favorite episode?
Bonus!!!!!!!!
Yo Joe! I think I have maybe 30?? lol What’s the book you mentioned to see them all and their weapons?
I am also curious on the book, I am trying to build a 82-87/88 set since those are the years I played with them.
Ultimate Guide to GI Joe
@toyfederation.. you have the wrong cassette on Listen and fun tripwire. The one that comes with him is yellow.
Oh! Thank you! You can confirm that? Want to make sure I have everything correct.
On heavy metal, thats not scruff/5 oclock shadow. Its dust built up on his lower face with the outline of the goggles on his cheeks lol. Im no gi joe aficionado, but i AM a former tanker that pulled gunner duty in iraq on humvees so we often times came back from missions looking like that when haboobs were blowing through baghdad.
the joes xxx
The cassette on your tripwire is wrong, unless it looks white on camera, is supposed to be yellow
Where can I get those packages you have each guy in?
Multiple places on line. Just google action figure cases.
Thank you!!
RAD !!!!!
Is Heavy Metal's face scruff, or dirt from where his goggles aren't protecting it?
We’ve learned that it’s dirt.
How many mor Joes do you still need?
About 50-75
👍
I'm sad I was late on liking the video I 422.
Ha!
My mom said I can come over and play
What time you coming?
why is your audio always so low
Is there a need for the aggressive negativity?
The videos would be a lot more enjoyable on my phone with the audio kicked up a bit just fyi. Not a problem on TV but my phone only goes so loud. Love the channel though keep it up
Were u located
Greer, SC
Why would u hart that I asked were u were located u sell Joe's
I also hearted the other response
Damn that far do u ship Joe's
@@jameswhite4370 We don't. Sorry. Also, this is my personal collection.
Me
You?
Seems like it's more complicated collecting the loose g.i figurines then collecting them carded
Yeah, he mentions that in a previous video I saw. Or maybe it was a video after this. I haven’t watched them in order.
fix the color grading on the vid pls a bit too yellow
It's not the color grading. It's the lights.
