    Hi Micheal great video about The G.I. Joe Crusader Space Shuttle with astronaut Payload(1989) Keep them coming, Also your latest Video was magnificent, Officially the best crossover between The Joe's & The Autobots especially Cosmos, Also Great video! Seeing your videos always gives me nostalgic feelings and fond/cherished memories from a simpler time. I just want to thank you for that little time capsule of youthful exuberance you're able to give not just me but everyone that follows you. Also The G.I. Joe Crusader is one of my favorite G. I. Joe Vehicles but one of my Best G.I. Joe Vehicles of all time, Also Payload is not only one of my favorite G.I. Joe's but also one of my favorite G.I. Joe's of all time, Also Very nicely done presentation, my friend! The extra effort you still put into the "Adventure" scenes was well worth it that shuttle launch into orbit was not only epic but outstanding,🙂, Also Payload(Mark J. Morgan) Primary Military Specialty:(as of 2023): Astronaut, Secondary Military Specialty(as of 2023):Fixed Wing Pilot, Birthplace(as of 2023): Cape Canaveral, Florida, Affiliation(as of 2023): G.I. Joe, Also that was still too much fun! Thanks for all the work on this! It was like live-action G.I. Joe cartoon with figures, Also Wow! You did amazing but remarkable work on this one, Micheal. Respect and thanks! Also Superb video as always Micheal. Thanks always making these great videos. Also Great but incredible video 👍. Thanks for explaining and showing the differences between the 1987 & 1989 versions, All I can say is: keep up the good work stay safe out there YO JOE and Nerdmaste.🙂👍🟢🦸😎💪🏋️🇺🇲 3:06 am.

    I was in my teens by the time the Crusader came out and my folks had stopped getting me GI Joes(or toys in general) by the time this came out, but not my middle brother. In fact I remember thinking how unfair it was that when it came to the playsets like the Joe HQ, The FLAGG, the Terrordrome, and the Defiant my parents refused to get them because they said "You guys will just get into a fight over them." We kept insisting we wouldn't, I mean we didn't fight over Castle Grayskull when we were younger, but they still refused to get them. However when it was just my middle brother who was getting Joes. They got him the Crusader, The General and the Battle Wagon.....I was like really?. I still collected Joes until 91, but I had to spend my own money on them so something like the Crusader or the General was a bit too much for a teenager with just a part time job and of course I'd use most of my money on other things that teens spend money on.
    Anyways I was able to still have an excuse as a teen to have fun with my Joes. Every Sunday was family day at my house. On Friday nights and Saturdays I could do all the teenager stuff I wanted, as long as I stayed out of trouble, but on Sunday it was family day. Most Sundays we'd spend time together as family on Sundays doing something. Of course many Sundays we'd do something but it wouldn't last all day or the folks would just be like lets just have a lazy Sunday so I spent time playing with my younger brothers and of course we'd play with the Joes. Did that right up till I graduated.

    I really wanted the Defiant leading up to Christmas 1987. In retrospect, I don't think it would have had much play value what with the tanks and the troops and whatnot and I am glad I did not get it. (I got a Mamba instead, and right after Christmas, my begging was focused on a Nintendo Entertainment System.) This Crusader would have been a better alternative but I was focused on other vehicles.

      @MichaelMercy  Před rokem +1

      It's certainly more durable thanks to the canopy that just pops off instead of the arm that lifts it off and the Avenger in the cargo bay instead of the brittle mechanical arm. If Cole had known about this thing, his call would have been, "Crusader to the end!" after the slap.
