For someone who grew up with G.I. Joe in the 80's and later served enlisted in the Marines and Air Force, to eventually become a commissioned officer in the Army, this channel is unbelievably satisfying. It's like a condensed perspective of who I am and why I became who I am. I can't wait to build my own G.I. Joe diorama just like this.
Same here, I went from collecting gi joe's to joining the Marine Corps.....Semper Fi Tuefelhunden
Also same cept i was army ranger cprl.96 to 2003
Wow
I played with G.I. Joe action figures, as a child, and I always dreamed of serving in the U.S.N and U.S.A, and upon HS graduation, I fulfilled my dream...
"Yo Joe!!!"
This collection was my life in the 80s. This made my day.
Thanks Ramiro! Yo Joe!
I feel like this collection was all in my toy box.... along with every other toy you have in your impossible collection!! Well done man.
I was born in the 2 thousands and i want all these figs
Couldn’t agree more .. had all the comics as well .. was basically a catalog for new figures
I could watch this 10 times and just get lost in nostalgia.
Man you have some steady hands and patience. I would have been knocking over Joe's left and right trying your way. I would have started with the back row and worked my way forward to be safe lol
Thanks! That's how I usually do it but I wanted to go in order of year this time.
combining domino day with gijoe
It actually took over 43 takes cus he kept knocking down one which then have a domino effect. Jk awesome video
This is the only video ive ever seen where every joe is shown in order of release. Not a big g.i. joe fan myself , but certainly interresting to see them all in one video. Good stuff.
Thanks! That's why I started at the bottom.
Need to do all your Cobra now! 👍🏾
Haha, I don't have as many vintage Cobras.
Wow now that’s a surprise!
agreed. I would have all cobra lol
This brings back so many childhood memories.
CRAZY LEGS! I thought i dreamed him up. Glad to know I"m not crazy!
Absolutely love these Joe videos. What a blast from the past. Takes me right back to the digging up my dad's vegetable garden and making battlefields with kids from my street, much to my dad's dismay. Cheers for this Michael.
Man what I'd give to go back to the 80s to see the glory days of Gi Joe. YO JO!
These videos bring back so many memories. I took a lot of mine apart, and would spend hours upon hours creating new figures. I was so happy when I came across the 1st Snake Eyes even though he had no thumbs. I ended up selling all of my Joes, turtles, and bots. Made pretty decent money, but had I known then what I know now, I wouldve skipped that weekend at the coast and just kept my toys.
I really like how you display them not always complete and with mix and match weapons. Great idea
Thanks!
I recently rescued some of my childhood Joe's, and it has been a complete joy cleaning them up, replacing their O-rings, and finding their missing accessories online. I haven't decided on a display yet, but this is a great solution! Love the channel! 🍻
Lightfoot is one of my favourites :) loved him as a kid
I gotta say the accessories you put with these guys that didnt come with them looks perfect. Excellent video and collection.
Started video with my OCD shouting ‘Michael, start from the back! THE BACK!’ Ended video chilled as all get out and amazed. Well done, sir. I do hope your hands weren’t injured after seven rows of cramping ASMR goodness ;)
As a kid I sort of missed the first the few years of GI Joes as other toylines took precedence. Things took a turn once the 1988 Tiger Force came out. Being able to pick up Flynt, Duke, Roadbock, Tripwire, and Bazooka at the store was awesome. I got in heavy and my random Zartan, Cobra Soldier, and Mutt finally got some company. Plus there was a new Destro and Storm Shadow in 88.
I remember that summer trying to track down old Joes at garage sales, and I was able to snag a Cobra Commander, the twins, and some others. Strangely, old vehicles were actually easier to find second hand (Rattler, Conquest, Tomahawk-just to name a few-completely intact, and often for only a few bucks). Never did find many of the coveted early characters though-Snake Eyes, Shipwreck, Baroness, the Drednoks, etc. Oh well. I had so much fun in the back yard th3 next couple years. Many thanks to Michael, 3D Joes, and other passionate cats out there sharing the love.
Thanks, Yo Joe!
The best toy line ever. Ever!
Yo Joe!!
Thanks for making my childhood dreams come true
Welcome! Yo Joe!
@@MichaelMercy Nice collection, I am getting. Ready to setup. My gijoe collection, just getting some ideas
Man when I was a kid I wished I had all these figures! I remember buying the action figures and vehicles at Toys R US on their aisle! It was awesome 1989-1992.
Loved this. I was naming them all before you did. The things you remember…
Did you do a Cobra shelf? That would be rad!
I started this video and said "No way that I watch 51 minutes of MM organizing GI Joes". That was 52 minutes ago... Thanks for the vid.
hahahaha... true dat!
thank you for the great memories. i had most of them as a kid. i still have a few in my small collection.
Skidmark drove the desert fox. Ghost rider was phantom driver. Just a friendly fyi. Thanks for shout out. I noticed you need dodger and crazy leg weapons. I have them for you and muskrat gun and unbroken redstar crotch
That would be awesome! Thanks Rob! Also missing the mic and mask from Avalanche and Blaster. I've already forgotten the Phantom pilot's name. Maybe it'll say in his first appearance in Marvel GI Joe issue #76. Hmmm... ;-D
@@MichaelMercy i wish i had a blaster and avalanche mask and mic for ya. If youre ever down my way you are more than welcome to come see my collection and take any spare pieces figs and vehicles you need or want
I love your collection I wish I still had all of mine GI Joe was always my favorite toys & cartoon
I dig this display for your Joes. It looks like a different type of school photo set up.
Class of '82-93! :D
Fantastic display; thanks for sharing. I got to see a lot of Joe’s that I didn’t even know existed, & appreciate you taking us on this journey. 😎👍
Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Was I the only person to yell out each name of the Joes before Michael called their name? Up through 1987, I only forgot a couple of them.
Outstanding video, Michael! Thank you.
Haha, awesome. Thanks Joe!
My dad gave me the nickname Chuckles because of the G I Joe!
My dad had a ton of Gijoe figures and he gave them all to me I have like 64 in my bedroom it is awesome
God bless him.
😂
Great video! I like to play this in the background while I'm doing chores around the house. Soothing
Great collection! Born in late 86, so a few of the 89 ones and most of the 90-94s bring me so much nostalgia.
I was obsessed with the 92-93 ninja team, joes and Cobras. Perfect timing with the Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat figures releasing.
Very nice display! I am very close to finally completing my 82-86 Joe Figure Collection. The only figures I still need is Slipstream, Mainframe, Roadblock V2 & Sci-Fi. It took me forever to find a Complete Heavy Metal with mic, Listen & Fun Tripwire, and a Cobra Viper (Glider) Pilot with near perfect Silver emblem. Sometime last year I completed the Special Mission Brazil Team yet I still need the regular version of Mainframe lol. I do have some 87 figures and I just recently started Army Building Night Vipers. I have been Army Building Crimson Guards and Snow Serpents for some time. All of my figures are complete except for Starduster who is missing his Black Visor. I may just have to go with a repro visor for him which is hard for me to do as I have always been very set on having all original accessories and my figures being 100% Complete with good paint.
Great collection!! Some of my favorites were the cobra twins , Baroness Destro Zartan and the Dreadknots!
I love this vid. You have an awesome gi joe figure collection. I had a lot of the original '82 figures and im glad you kept yours. I gave my joes to my younger cousin but i knew he would love them. I have no toys now but I still have my gi joe comic collection #1-155+Transformers, 3D comics, etc.
Thanks for this video. Inspiration for my Sunday. Thanks for all that you do for the hobby!
Really can see how the joe lines got away from military and moved to more colorful uniforms with more and outlandish accessories and themes
Thanks for doing this ..u took total care of them
I lived in Athens, Greece in the 1980s. This was my childhood. Thankful for everything in my life. Love you all.
Man made my day, This took me back to the 80's. I remember on the card board you could cut out I believe points and send them in when you would order a GIJOE through mail😂👍🏽 and the little booklet you would get in the package to look at all the JOE figures. Man those were the days bro. I would be outside all day playing out a battle field in my yard with the troop carrier rig. The 80's will never be forgotten 👍🏽👍🏽🇺🇸
Love it, i grew up collecting and watching the carton.
thanks michael , we never had the money to get G I Joe figures, but still got a few on birthdays, thanks for letting me relive those days.
I was completely mesmerized while watching this. Great collection of figures. Not as much neon in the back rows as I thought there was going to be :) Late 80s and early 90s had some great figures. I am also proud of my gray hair! Great video
Thanks Brian! I don't think I'll be collecting those neon guys, but still lots of great looking figures from those later years.
@@MichaelMercy I dont blame you one bit. I never cared for the neon.
Awesome vid. So cathartic to listen to. It transported me back to some good times. Thanks!
Maybe you should try some Bluetack (Posterputty for ones like Scarlett to stick them to their stands.
This is such a treat to watch. I'm really interested in your entire collection. Looks like you have COPS, Visionairies, etc. I need to check your channel to see if you do other room tours. Really appreciate this. My first time seeing every Joe. Very impressive
Thanks!
Just a quick note to say thank you for the great videos. I was in a near- fatal motorcycle accident and watched your videos in the hospital. I've got a lot of recovery to do, but your videos inspired me to find the Joes I had when I was a kid. Just got a wrecked Thunder Machine I want to fix up. Thanks again for the great videos... "Yo Joe!"
Nice to see. Reminds me of the 80s. Thanks.
I like/want all of em I'm 25running but my love for toys gijoes are still the same as when I was a Lil boy. Also my mom bought me a whole lot of toys gijoes and even me I used to save up money before Christmas and when my relatives my mom's siblings my grandparents or my uncle's/ my family members when they gave me money I used them for buying gijoes and I had them a boxes full of toys gijoes.etc but idk where all those are all gone I remember some that I used to gave it to my friends my younger brothers. But most of them are lost. Hahaha those childhood days are the best days of my life and so will be for everyone hopefully.✌️❤️
Amazing collection and its awesome to see these figures again. Its like going back when I was kid and just enjoy interacting with toys and having fun. The simple times when there wasn’t much worries or obligations being a kid, lol. Yo Joe! Thank You for the video, content, and presentation!
Thanks Aldrey!
With Scarlett, i take some sticky tack and put it on her foot and then place her on a stand using the sticky tack to hold her up. I've also found that smalljoes stands can be too tight in the foot, and if the figure falls just a foot, it will break the peg off into the foot. I use iain Sanderson stands for early 1980's joes in my collection and small joes stands with my late 1980's-early 1990's vintage & the modern o-ring figures (convention, and post 1994 vintage era joes). I also will sand the smalljoes stands down & around to make the peg fit better. Great collection brother.....beautiful collection.
I still have my COBRA HISS tank. Great memories of playing with it for hours.
Michael Mercy, YOU’RE THE MAN!!
Awesome 😎 collection!
Yo Joe!!
This layout reminds me of my H.S. senior class picture where everyone in the graduating class stood together.
Ace came with the Sky Striker. I remember he had a parachute that as a kid I could never fold it properly :D I had many of them. Stalker with his kayak and it had a brown machine gun on it. Most of them from the Sunbow version
I never had but I loved Gung-ho and roadblock. They were just massive in the cartoon!
If you guys still love the cartoon you can watch it for free as Hasbro /thats the name of the channel/ streams it 24/7.
Mr. Mercy I'm glad now through your videos I can see all the awesome Joe's i should have saved. Now that I'm 40 I wish I still had my collection. Only managed to keep Cobra Commander, Destro, and Zartan. The rest I gave to my little brother, which were lost and or destroyed......oh well what a bummer. Yo Joe!
I'm so jealous.. Great collection man! Brings back memories.
Nice idea about the insulation stadium stepping. I just redid my modern era Joe set up, going by year then rank. I'm going to use your idea for the steps
Man.. Seing all my old Joes again like this, makes me Miss the thousands of hours i spent as a kid with my many many MANY tiny plastic friends! Still remember some of the specific days i bought certain figurens.. Which is weird i can barely remember my wife name!.. Vividly hearing my moms voice when i said, "can i get a New Joe".. "you have so many already!".. But moom.. I dont have THIS one!! Worked every time.
Remembermy childhood toystore, when they got a New Line of Joes.. My friends and I went beserk looking at all the New cool gear etc, hidding the ones we wanted around the store so, People wouldnt but them xD
Man.. Those were good times! Very very Nice collections you have sir!
Thanks Michael, glad you enjoyed! :D
Awesome! Congratulations
Great collection!! I also have my Joes displayed so my friends can see them and remember good old times!!! Greetings from Guatemala!!!
Thanks George! Much appreciated.
Amazing hands...I was having anxiety watching you complete the process. Your collection took me back to my childhood for the entire process. Well done.
Thanks dude this video plus the history of videos, helped me remember what I had, plus what I really wanted back in the day, these videos have helped me figure out what to hunt for now from back in the day. I just won an auction for a complete jinx and a dial tone with pack and gun, also got a buy now on a mint Lt Falcon......cheers dude from UK........first figures back in the day were action force carded flint, bazooka and leatherneck, plus a loose figure only airtight......thanks again, I keep watches theses over and over
Awesome page, thank you for sharing, the information is great and the figures/display is awesome!
🤝
Love it. Reminds me of the 1985 G.i.joe catalog cover art with a few Joe's standing in front of the rock title...it just looks great.
Thanks! Yo Joe!
Man your bringing me back into my childhood days. I recall I also have Lightfoot. With this video I'm trying to organize our Joe figures as well. Thanks for the video!
How about Payhfindet?
Wow, the top shelf, I can remember those when I was a kid, forgot they were called "Visionaries" though.
Absolutely loving your G.I.Joe videos. Recently unboxed all my old Joes, and have been restringing them and cleaning while watching your vids. You got me so pumped.
Thank you. Yo Joe!
Incredible display
Very nice, I'm too young to remember GI Joes, but I love old 80s toys!
Thanks!
GI Joe is one of Hasbro's iconic toy line in the 80s 💯🔥
Timber needs it's own riser or to be in the front row. You know all the joes would be ok with Timber randomly running around the photo shoot. "Snake! Get control of your dog!" lol
When I was a kid My favorite toy was a GIJoe and unfortunately it was stolen. I've looked its name up countless times and finally thanks to you I now know it was "Recoil". Thank you :D
My two favorites, Blowtorch and Mainframe.
i love ur vids mike all mine burned up in a house fire when i was ten ty for reminding me how amazing these were
Awesome collection.Snake eyes was my favorite.
Awesome collection and great video, thanks for sharing
Thank you. Cheers.
I wish they made a General Flagg figure when I was collecting. He would have been awesome to have an old school commanding officer to give Duke and the rest of the team orders.
Great collection. I love seeing how fellow collectors display their figures. I also use the stairstep level method to display my figures. I have my collection in a series of videos and would love to hear what you think about it. Merry Christmas. Doc Johnson
Congratulations, I enjoyed your video a lot, oh my childhood memories!, Thank you a lot!
So amaze that you know all the codename of all joe's.
Sensacional coleção...sou brasileiro...tenho 46 anos e vivi os anos 80 e tive muitos desses bonecos, hoje estou correndo para recolecionar...fazendo coleção dos 25 anos GI Joe. Parabéns pela fantástica coleção!
That's the way (I like it)!...Hey Mike, they really look great with that setup, a more detailed view. Congratulations for the Lightfoot, you said before that you didn't like it, but for me he was always one of my favorites, very similar to Airtight with his own R2....👍
Thanks David! Yeah I think that's why I passed on him for so long, his similarity to Airtight. Didn't even know he had those 'hologram' stickers on him, what a bonus!
Thank you for sharing
These are cool Joes
I’m realizing how ridiculous my own figure collection is by how many of these I have myself but at the same time how many I still don’t have. It’s truly amazing how big GI Joe was in the ARAH era. I love vintage Star Wars but my true passion has and always will be the Real American Heroes. The amount of care and thought put into these guys and the vehicles is mind blowing.
Really enjoyed this 👍very therapeutic even ..... brought back some good memories. There was a lot of figures in your collection I had and a lot I didn't. Out of the ones I didn't have my favourite is Dusty he was the one that I never managed to pick up but wanted so much. The countless pegs of figures I went through to no avail. Toy hunting isn't quite the same now as it was back in the day 😂thanks for sharing Michael 👍
Thanks! Glad you had fun. :D
Very cool, I found this kinda therapeutic and soothing. Good knowledge.
Thanks! Glad to hear it.
Fantastic collection sir. Awesome video you never disappoint!!
Thanks so much!
This brought back a lot of memories, what a great looking collection! Me and my brother had more than a hundred joes(and cobras) between the both of us. I think Bullhorn was the last one we got, couldn't remember many of the ones you stacked up after him. Storm Shadow was always my favorite!
Glad to hear it, Henrik! Yo Joe!
These are so cool
I just wanted to say you have a BEAUTIFUL collection of Joes, and to say I am envious would be an understatement. I am of a certain age, and I had my share of Joes and Cobra baddies, but you took it to another level. All of your videos are interesting, so I just subscribed. :)
Thanks Nathan! Nerdmasté! 🙏
best birthday was when i received uss flagg ! Box was so big could not fit into car.
Had to play with it in garage.AWSOME times.
Awesome display!! I miss this line...I had most of these as well, and in great shape! Wish I would have kept them.
Thanks!
Awsome set up and very relaxing video to watch. Thank you for doing fab clips.
My Road Blocks tripod fits on his pack, with the legs going towards the figure instead of sticking out backwards with the two legs down. The underside of the tripod onto pack peg.
Thanks! 🙏
what a great video- thank you.
You are a true GI Joe Collector! 👍👍
This video puts a smile in my face
Glad to hear it. :D
Using a cheap disposable nail file to narrow the foot pegs might work. And they're somewhat rigid and narrow so they'd be easier to use than sandpaper.
