Great picks! My top 3 are Zartan, Serpentor, and Storm Shadow...but the "good guy" version of him. He had the best accessories, and I love that he switched his allegiance and fought for the Joes, in a very cool costume.

I started collecting Joes around 84. My first figures were Flash. Rock and Roll, and Zap. My favorites however were Tunnel Rat, Shipwreck, and Road Pig (top three order). All for a variety of reasons (mostly sentimental to how things were played with).
@g1stylempdesign929Ай бұрын
Flash was my first Joe and that laser rifle was a pain. Had to cut the wire/hose first day. As I got older I thought he looks like James Bond.

Now, I'd probably tell you that you're out of your mind with this list, but hey!, to each his own, and if these are the ones that you like the most, good for you! I'm actually glad that the late 80's and early 90's are getting some kind of love when it comes to GI Joe. I think that my No 1 figure would be Zartan: amazing color-change gimmick, transparent armor pieces, a backpack with a mask PLUS a color-changing vehicule that could be disassembled! It was a deluxe figure for sure, but what a BLAST it was!

My top 3 are Hooded Cobra Commander, Destro, Iron Grenadier version with gold head and red cape,and The crimson guard trooper. Honorable mentions will go to the twins the Baroness and the 90s Duke in the desert camo. When I was a kid I never had Dusty but I loved the way he looked and I was a huge fan of Zartan but never had him either.
Great video Ed mate, so hard to say what 3 are my favourite I have over 120 of them complete but will go with these 3 due to the story behind them Tiger force outback Snake eyes v2 Stormshadow v1 I have all 3 graded by UKG and the only loose 90 graded Snake Eyes V2 they graded at that graded so that’s quite special for me

I started back in 1982 with the original straight/non-swiveling arm figures. I'm pretty sure my first figure was the mortar soldier Short Fuse. My Top 3 RAH Figures: 1. Flint-My favorite Joe, the team's third-in-command with his cool beret and shitgun 2. Alley Viper-Cobra's urban assault troops. Cool armor and hardware, even if their bright orange outfits weren't very good camouflage. 3. Night Viper-Cobra's stealth ops with gun-on-leg weapon storage and a night sight monocular.

I’ve started to collect Gi joe back in 2000 when I found the USS flagg for 30$ in a garage sale there was only one figure Shipwreck I decided to hunt for the missing parts and other figures. My goal was to collect figures and vehicles from 82-87 era plus I decided to collect the vehicles that I really like. So far I have 130 figures and 45 vehicles some doubles like skystrikers nightraven rattler or smaller vehicles like flight pod and claw. When I was young back in the 80’s I had 4 figures that I still have today -cobra Eel Tele-viper -BBq -Flint But my favorites (not easy to choose) 1-Snowserpent 2-Zartan v1 3-Snowjob I like figures with lots of accessories

The only thing real bad about the ninja force is that you can’t change out the o ring. So I think that was one of the main reasons I got pissed off about how they started making GIJoes that way and just stopped collecting and then went into ninja turtles. lol 😂 and it’s like when they changed the scale of 3 3/4 just killed the line when they change its to 5 inch and now they are six inch. Most collectors collected 3 3/4 scale. The majority collect 3 3/4 scale and if they made Star Wars o ring figures I would collect those in the 3 3/4 scale
