    These were the greatest toys ever made. I used to beg my parents to get them for me. Unfortunately due to our economic status only a small few were ever bought. None the less the best time I ever had as a child was playing with my GIJoes.

      My brother and I had green Army Men too. Our first tactical sandbox (A literal Sandbox) system was loosely based on Battleship. We cut a box in half for a screen, then set up fortifications. Then, we'd remove the boxes, and take turns shooting with a Line-of-Sight system. Line up behind the soldier's head, if he can see it, he can shoot it. That's how we're able to cancel out "Pew!" "You Missed!"

    • @Psiberzerker
      @Psiberzerker Před 5 lety

      It wasn't our entire childhoods. Honestly, we're both lucky to make it out without one of us in an eyepatch. We also had lawn-darts, and played "Double-Dragon!" In Austin, (Congress Park Apartments) the playground was literally I beams, embedded in concrete, and railroad ties bolted on with all-thread. They didn't even put down astroturf, if you fell off (Or were pushed) you fell straight down onto concrete, and we had terpene tar all over our clothes from the railroad ties.

    I never lived in the 80s, but these are probably in the top 10 toys EVER. They had great articulation, well made accessories, amazing comics and cartoon, file cards for every character, and so many vehicles and playsets that had awesome features. Just like Transformers, they also have had some pretty great media in all forms. I’d really recommend G.I. Joe Resolute, one of the best animated action movies I’ve seen in a while. I was born in 2006, so obviously I never grew up with them, but it’s just obvious that these are great. I’d also recommend the CZcams channel “Michael Mercy,” he has some pretty great videos on this stuff.

      @ArnoldArchives Před 9 lety +21

      Ethan Shelley
      As someone who grew up during the '80s and early '90s, I can say that you are correct, Ethan.
      I have to disagree with the comment that "You're not missing anything." Sure, technology advanced remarkably in a short period of time (just consider how much changed with computers/Internet alone between the mid-'90s and the early 2000s!); and broadband Internet has unquestionably facilitated shopping, research, and communication. However, not all that glitters is gold, as the old saying goes. In all honesty, if given the chance, I would trade every bit of this modern technology and fast-paced, "got-to-have-it-now" society for the much simpler and far less chaotic 1980s, without hesitation. As far as I'm concerned, *everything* back then BUT computers was superior to American life in the 21st Century: toys, games, TV shows, movies, music, pro-wrestling, breakfast cereal, local restaurants & businesses, POLITICS (Reagan instead of Obama -- need I say more?!) . . . you name it. Unless you experienced life back then, it's really impossible to understand what I mean. You just had to be there!
      Needless to say, I am so richly *blessed* to have grown up when I did with the wonderful family and friends I had (and still have, to a degree). Yeah, I'm sentimental. ;-)

    • @8thManDVDcom
      @8thManDVDcom  Před 9 lety +7

      ArnoldArchives I can't disagree with your comment about "Reagan", we need another great leader like him but will probably never get one. I share the same love as you or anyone who grew up in the 80s and 90s but yea it is more sentimental then anything else. Every generation loves what they grew up with.Though as for toys, games, arcade etc. we did have a nice BOOM for sure, ditto with Cartoon/TV Shows.Ah but life goes on. Nothing wrong with being sentimental about it. I don't recall life being all that much better esp. when it came to collecting toys - once it went out print you were screwed. Today I can buy (and download) whatever I want from the 80s and 90s.

      Possibly but very unlikely. I've been collecting for a long time and I'm sure these would have popped up on Yo Joe or other forums. Especially now in this day in age where everyone has access to a digital camera. Collectors like to show off their rare figures or massive armies. All I know is that I have to build up my 85 Crimson Guards and 86 Vipers up to what they used to be. I recently had to sell a lot of my collection. I regret it big time! But when you need money you need money. I'm currently in the process of writing a dio-story. I'm just thinking of exactly what I want my story to be about and planning out the diorama sets. Plus I need a new camera. It should be an epic venture.

      That MOBAT Main Battle Tank had a chronic problem of the battery lid falling off and getting the batteries disconnected. Later on, they solved that problem with the Mauler tank. However, the Mauler had the problem of not being able to turn left or right, which at least the MOBAT was able to do.

    "Make sure to say destro in the song. Do your music magic, but just make sure you say destro"
    Its funny how they kept using the same guy, and were like "same melody, but this week we need this toy in the lyrics"

      @Ayan Majumdar That's a blanket statement, and you know it. True, some people (keyword: SOME) may develop an unhealthy obsession with video games, but most of us gamers have the will power to look away from the screen and do something else.

    Seems like the vehicles from the early days were way cooler than the later ones. I remember wishing I had the older vehicles as a kid but were stuck with the late 80s stuff.

    • @75aces97
      @75aces97 Před 5 lety

      Yeah, during the run the vehicles went from resembling actual contemporary military vehicles (MOBAT, Rattler, Raven, APC, Skystriker), to not-quite-but-plausibly-could-work in an actual military (hovercraft, Water Moccasin, HISS, Conquest) to absurd (HAVOC, buzz boar, Pogo battle ball, almost everything after 1986).
      The toy and play set market was so crowded and volatile in the mid 1980's that Hasbro seemingly tried to make GI Joe everything to everybody. Tried to compete with the sci fi & fantasy stuff from MOTU, Thundercats MASK, and other stuff from the era instead of pigeonholing it to strict military themes. They were probably damned no matter what they tried.

    Fun to watch these again...even if they're not in order. It's fun to pick out which of these were out before the show was finished. I love how Scarlet's hair is down in the old ones.
