#GIJoe #Grunt
I love grunt. He is a very underrated character. I especially like the tan version of him and Clutch.
My very first Joe 👍
Grunt will always remind me of Michael Ironside.
True dat!
Heh, Grunt on V
That glider was AWESOME! Just broke in a about a week 🤣
Rock N Roll was my first GI Joe I got it for my birthday.
A couple things I noticed...the lower leg sculpts are the same for both the right and left leg, and his belt buckle is the Hasbro logo!
Breaker was my first Joe! I lost mine but recently re-bought him on ebay.
Being able to detach their helmets and realistically sculpted weapons blew my mind...
He looks like a Vulcan Tommy Lee Jones. Great review 👍
Interesting thing about the backward American Flag mentioned at 8:59 : American Flags appeared that way - with the star field in the upper right - because it is to visually simulate a poled flag waving behind them as the soldiers charge into battle.
Man, a "The Park is Mine" reference, I swear, no one has seen that movie, it was a gem. Love your videos.
Thanks. Great flick!
Very superb...💯✔
Grunt was one of my first, and maaaaaaybe played a small part into me becoming a 'Grunt' myself just a few years later!
My golden good years.😢
Love grunt hes from my hometown!!!
What about the 90s grunt?
0:01 THE ALTERNATE UNIVERSE EPISODE. THE GREATEST single episode of GI Joe EVER.
My first g.I.Joe my parents gave me when I was a kid! I still have a vague memory of opening him up in the kitchen.
Straight armed Grunt always had a special spot in my heart. He was a larger version of those plastic Army men but offered a ton of playtime value.
True, he really does have that feel to him. :D
I hope Flash is next!
Grunt is AWESOME !!!!!
My wife found a unicorn at goodwill which included a massive lot of 82 Joes and accessories
There were several Cobra’s and about 5 straight armed Grunts
I refurbished
Grunt was my favorite, because he was from COLUMBUS OHIO!
Nice! Great memories! Thanks as always...
I found Grunt at a thrift store the 1982 version sadly he was missing half of on arm I still Bought him and put another arm on him .
the original grunt was a great vietnam era figure. The solid uniform and the M16A1 with the 20rd magazine are right out of the 60s. The only modern thing is the helmet which looks like a stylized version of the PASGT helmet which in my opinion is the best looking combat helmet ever.
Thanks for helping me remember my childhood.
I love GRUNT he was my first GI JOE. I love this Video about him.
I like grunt and the whole 1982 line because of the ww1 and ww2 influence.
Oh that original line 😋 so many memories
I picked up the 12 inch grunt which is pretty good, I need to get original
When I first got into GI JOE, I thought Grunt was the Joe equivalent of the Cobra Trooper. I thought the name Grunt was just the term used to describe the GI JOE trooper. It wasn't until I saw his file card and saw it referred to as a code name and the character had an individuals name that I realized it was a single character.
That's the one thing I always wished they did with the GI JOE line. Make some GI JOE trooper type figures. Think of all the variants they could have made. You could have GI JOE infantry soldiers of different genders and ethnic back grounds. I imagined each infantry would come with the same assortment of weapons and gear so you could customize their specialty. Some could be made to be standard infantry, others could be heavy weapons or support.
Then my idea started branching out to pilots, sailors, medical support, and so on. Just imagine the USS Flagg with a full compliment of navy personnel. Sailors and flight deck crews of various backgrounds and of course pilots. The pilots would be easy. Just make a Male and female version dressed in a full flight suit with a helmet with the visor down and breather mask on. Sure they would be nameless and faceless but that's were your imagination would come in. You could name them whatever you want. You could designate one as Ace's co-pilot and so on.
If they ever bring back a line of GI JOE, I hope they give the Joe's some trooper type figures that fill various roles like infantry, pilots, sailors, even support like mechanics or medical staff cause you know Doc, Lifeline, and Stretcher gotta be worn out at the end of the day if they're the only medics. Also think of all the variants that could exist. Maybe release a few really hard to find variants.
Toy Bounty Hunter I actually thought the same thing especially since he wasn’t in the cartoon that I’m aware of
It was cool when the extra weapons pack came out with the tan Grunt backpack so I was able to have a fully equipped tan fatigues Grunt.
Yo Joe , always thought it was sad when Steeler and Grunt left in the show
Love these figures.
wasnt there an episode were they went to an alternat dimension?
hmm I never noticed that Grunt's belt is the Hasbro logo lol now I know....
And knowing is half the battle!
Gets the job done 👍
Michael; would you like to see them bring GI Joe back in a 6” scale?
Great video! The straight arm Grunt was the first GI Joe I had ever purchased. I used the Christmas money that my parents gave me. I purchased it at Wynns in El Paso, TX. Thank you!
Now those where the coolest 19,s toys
The American Flag being backwards Means as you advance forward it is like the flag is waving in the wind.
Very nice review. Grunt will always be one of my favorite Joes.
Don't know if you have the 25th anniversary 2 pack that came with Red Star and a very plain, olive drab Duke. Switch the heads and gear between the Grunt and the Duke and you have a much better Grunt. The plain Duke even comes with an M-16.
Yup, that one makes a good Grunt.
There are never any '82 Grunt left or right arms for sale on eBay. Where is the best place to find scarce body parts for these Joe's? I've got one complete and 2 with no arms.
Click the chime to be on time for the next video
Hey, thanks a lot for using my music!
Thanks for the great track!
MM👨 ⚡nice job

Thanks👷
Grunt and Stalker were my first Gi Joe’s. Very cool review brings back memory’s from a birthday in 1982.
Great nostalgia. Sometimes the coolest ones are the simplest. More videos of individual gijoe figures would be great to see.
Sad that the 25th line couldn't be bothered to engineer a helmet that would stay on.
Looks like Martin landau to me!! lol.
As usual another fantastic G.I. Joe review! Thanks Michael! 👍
Some see Tommy Lee Jones, some see Michael Ironside... I personally see Hugo Weaving. 🙂
Good soldiers follow orders
cool stuff. dropped you a message via Twitter :)
Yo tan! :D
Great Review! Grunt was my first Joe (well technically second, Viper Glider was my first) and I choose him to fight cobra with the mighty F.L.A.K. He will always have a special place in my heart.
Is this an original figure or the anniversary reissue?
So how do you get your hands on vintage Joes? I never had any of the 82 or 83, my years were 95 on, I can't actually remember my firts Joe (I know, sacrilidge) but I do remember the ones I had. And looking back on it I actually had quite a few. I think I was a pretty lucky kid. I didn't have too many vehicles, though, I used to make my Joe's vehicles out of lego. I remember making a bad ass chopper out of lego for my Joe's. Land vehicles were a bit harder as the wheels were way too small, so it just looked a bit crappy.
Brad Craven I’ve got a comic store near me that takes vintage toys/collectibles on consignment, they’ve got stuff all the time, flea markets and garage sales near me never seem to have anything I’d want sadly. I’d think there would be some sites online dealing in vintage Joes.
Michael, very cool how you mix and match parts from different figures to give it a look you want! A lot of collectors that would drive crazy! I think it is very cool though. 👍
Great review Brother 😁
Bill
I know it's hard to top the originals, but I love the engineering on the 25th anniversary figures. That's just me personally, though.
Resembles Marco Rubio.
grunt was originally voiced by Robert o. Smith! the official voice of the Chuff and E-Rock show!!! rest in peace in peace buddy, we love ya! -Chuff
Grunt, a good and proper G.I. Joe figure that does indeed look like Michael Ironsides and no stupid, gaudy colors or banana yellow weapon!!
With those pointy ears... I say he looks like Hugo Weaving Elrond from Lord Of The Rings...
In my opinion 1982 - 1985 were the best years for g I joe after that it just got stupid and unrealistic
Nah ah, it became more Educational!
Gotta pick this guy up and army build him to fight my vipers in my display
I have the repaint version of Grunt in my colection and to be honest i like more that version.
I know Sgt. Savage is a blip in Joe history, but would you ever do a quick vid on something like that?
Grunt was jus a tad b4 my time.. unfortunately
Might’ve had a few of the ‘84 drops but ‘85 & on I was ALL IN 💯💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🔥🔥🔥
