Christmas 1984 woke up to find under the tree all put together in Battle Formation Joe Sky Hawk, Joe Dragonfly, Joe Sharc, Joe Ram, Joe Falcon, Joe Slugger, Joe APC, Cobra Rattler, Cobra Moccasin, Cobra Hiss Tank, Cobra Fang, & Zartan's Chameleon. Also there was every Joe and Cobra action figure available at the time. My mum had found every figure and vehicle she could all year long and put them on layaway for me. Most days we barely had a pot to piss in but my mum always made Christmas something special. I'll remember that Christmas Morning until the Day I die.

She would set up my joes while i was away at school only to get them straight up get schwacked as soon as 5 year old me got home.

Great list. I had several of those vehicles. The thing I loved about GI Joe was the fact that larger vehicles came with a driver and extra space for more figures. Smaller single figure vehicles, unless they were part of a character's style like Zartan and the Chameleon and Sgt. Slaughter and the Triple T Tank, did not come with a figure. In short, Hasbro had the great mindset to sell their vehicles with the idea that they would sell more figures. You just couldn't have fun with only the pilot, you wanted another figure in that Dragonfly. Oh for the days were toy companies really put thought into a toyline.

I wish that would've worked for me lmao. I said I needed some more figures for a big vehicle, then my mother said "you already have dozens, use them!" On the other hand, smaller vehicles (thus not as expensive) with a pilot were big sellers. Every kid gotta take that extra figure no matter if you liked it or not.

Although we were not really wealthy, our parents did surprise us sometimes when we got something pricey - which wasn't often. When my youngest brother got the Sky Striker, we brothers thought it was huge to play with... Then one day, our mum got us "all" the USS FLAGG and we all thought it was absolutely bonkers compared to the Striker! Miss you, mum...

5:59 An important note about the APC, especially in light of your highlighting this feature for the WHALE, is that the APC *also* floats (hence why it's referred to as amphibious). In fact, I think it predates all other floating GI Joe toys. Unlike the other water toys (except the WHALE), though, this made sense in both land and water play.

This G.I. Joe vehicle is in the “ S” Class category, the Defiant Space Shuttle Complex. I never owned one but boy did I want it. It wasn’t as big a the carrier , which is a good thing considering how over the top in size that thing was. The shuttle was more space friendly and could still be played with as a ship or play set .

Also loved that so many of your choices were the smaller to mid-sized vehicles as opposed to an array of giant oversized ones. Can't wait to see your Cobra list, although I'd speculate that the Ferret and Moccasin are shoe-ins.... :)

Great stuff all around. Thank you.

Your top 2 picks are also my top 2 but I would rate the Sky Striker higher because I'm just an military aviation nut. I'm going to jump the gun and rate my two favorite Cobra vehicles as the Night Raven and the Water Moccasin. The Moccasin was small and had fewer features and parts than the Whale or the Cobra Moray but I just always loved how it looks. The Night Raven, well anything based on a cross between Fire Fox and an SR-71 is going to be cool!

the Moccasin was awesome. Small yes, but easily manipulated as a kid. That was the problem I had with GI Joe. For every Cobra vehicle, Joe had a larger version. The balance of power always seemed off to me. and yet the Cobra vehicles were (a) cheaper and (b) easier to play with (more durable because there were less greebles and features to break/lose)

I was a Joe fiend, as a child. Other than the Flagg, and x-29, and the shuttle. I pretty much had everything else. I've always been kinda engineer minded ( and an aviation guy) so some things made sense, and others didn't. ( Like the tomahawk, having the fan blade, as tail rotor, ???? When it already had dual rotor system)Although the "NOTAR" on the Dragonfly, made sense, at least in the right steps. I really enjoyed the mini sets, that didn't come with figures. The bivouac, hawk(?) Missile system, I forgot what their lineup collection was called though. Regardless, many fun years!

B) when you listed the Havoc as a controversial addition into the 10 ten shouldn't be controversial at All! I believe that lists are shaped by the titles we come up with... This list is the top 10 Joe vehicles. That doesn't, to me, mean that this list is the "most essential vehicles in Joe history". This is YOUR top 10, nostalgia should very much be a part of the additions your form into the top 10☺️ those vehicles helped shape your childhood, and, in turn, your adulthood!!!!! You're a good person and do such a professional job with your channel!!!! The heart you out into the videos is very clear!!!!! Respect to you.

I feel the G.I Joe warthog is not only deserving of being on this list but possibly even contend for the top spot. I still have this vehicle from when I was a kid, complete. It's a tracked amphibious armored troup career, like the killer whale. It features a double ballistic misle launcher, machine 2 machine gun turrets, a place for the driver "Sargent slaughter " which the vehicle comes with his figure that has a lot of detail to. Has enough room for 6 Joe's inside the Troup carrier compartment and 9 Joe's in total. One of my favorite Joe vehicle's, and we'll deserving of a spot on the list. 👍🏾

My favorites of these were the "Striker" (FAV), Mauler tank, APC, Tomahawk helo, and the Whale hovercraft. I would say the tank and the dune buggy especially... I ended up doing custom paintjobs on mine, and added a crap ton of extra stuff (camo nets, ammo cans, etc.). I got a lot of mileage out of those things.

The MCC is primarily a playset, BUT, contrary to the USS Flagg, it is truly mobile as its name states and qualifies as vehicle too. As somebody stated in a previous comment, I would have made a swap and put the VAMP instead of the HAVOC.

Just to mention, as it was briefly mentioned in the video, I remember taking my G.I. Joe "V.A.M.P." to show-n-tell in the 2nd grade. Also, my uncle (who is just under 2 years my senior) had the "(Killer) W.H.A.L.E." which, when visiting, I'd use as a carrier/launch platform for the Joe's "Devilfish" attack boat. Last thing, my uncle also had the "H.A.V.O.C." and I still retain a VHS home video of a family visit in which it can be heard my uncle singing part of the "HAVOC" commercial jingle, i.e., "Nothing's too tough for HAVOC! Nothing's too rough for HAVOC!" lol

Some of my favorites: 1. Cobra Moray Hydrofoil. It floated and when waterlogged it would sink to the bottom. I spent countless hours playing with it in the pool. 2. The Cobra Night Raven was another pool favorite simply because it also sank, but very slowly. I liked to have it crash land and have the pilots escape before it went under. 3. The Dreadnought Thunder Machine - I put that through so much abuse crashing into stuff, jumping it, pushing it off the front steps, etc. 4. The Rolling Thunder - Just because of it's size. It was like having a mobile command center. I Was only 5 when G.I Joe came out, and didn't know/get into it until several years later, so while I had tons of G..I Joe Vehicles and Figures, I only a handful of the early ones.

The jeep w/Clutch & HISS tank were two of my favorites. My brother had Snow-Job & Frost-Bite with there accompanying vehicles. Snow Job had the snowmobile, Frost Bite with the Snow Cat (#4 in video). My brother loved the snow troops for some reason. We had the APC w/camo top. Also had all the figures in the APC in the video. We were very well behaved one year (1985?) & only asked for G.I.Joe stuff & Santa came thru big time. Of the list we had 1,2,4,5,6, & 9. Nailed it though. The Hovercraft is absolutely #1. The Killer W.H.A.L.E. was/is the most fun on to play with.

Great list. I would have put the Armadillo in there somewhere, but I'm mostly in agreement with you. I never had the WHALE as a kid but I always envied those who did. That would probably be my first choice as well. Can't wait for your Cobra list.

The WHALE was my favorite. One that was left off your list that I loved was the SHARC....it was very versatile and durable. One other thing about the WHALE: it was heavily and prominently featured in the GI Joe comic books of that era.

Between my brother and I, we had all of these. He had the GI Joe base as well. We had most all of the original stuff and I still have my Dragonfly, Mauler MBT, Mobat MBT (wasn't that the original tank's name?), slugger (self propelled howitzer), and I think I have the Warthog armored vehicle as well. I know my brother has his completely restored cobra rattler. We had so much of that stuff!

A mate of mine has a Havoc. I had a GI JOE chopper but it wasn’t the Dragon Fly. Later on I had a lot of ‘Corps’ 1:6 action figures and they came with a lot of rebranded Joe vehicles. I had the Corps version of the Dragonfly and a tank, ‘inflatable’ patrol boat and tank. Then there was some Steet Fughter toys and I had a re painted Vamp

This is a great list. I had the Killer Whale as a kid. I always felt like it was several toys in one. Also, Cutter was the coolest and always a standout character.

The partly frosted, partly clear canopy on the Snowcat that simulates an iced-up window was so visually clever for the time!

I'm currently contemplating selling my Joe collection and this video just made me think against it. Thanks Tony. I agree with everything on this list except the APC. I just like the Rolling Thunder more.

As a kid, I immediately took to the AWE Striker and Crankcase, my dad has sported a similar style mustache before I was born, and his hair color is the same. I had to get that set!

The Skystriker, the Whale, the Dragonfly... so nice. I have a Haslab of the first, and ordered the second. How I enjoyed that Whale.

I loved the Parasite, that was a fun vehicle. My brother and I were lucky enough one year to get an Armor-Bot each from the space line, they were huge and fun.

It's incredible how many amazing vehicles GI Joe had. This is why I still prefer the 3.75 over the classified.
