G.I.Joe | Remembrance Day Special / 1984 Spirit

[@Chasing80sToys]

Wise words in the intro my brother. Spirit is definitely one of my favorite characters and figure in the 80s toyline. Love how he first was Storm Shadows main opponent before that became Snake Eyes.

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Thank you Chris. Yes, 80s forever !

[@JFvE]

I would be remiss now if I didn't mention how awesome this issue is! Haha. Anyway. Great video, as always, Dave. A fine tribute here, and the words you said in the beginning, you can say them because of the men like your grandfather. God Bless you and your family.

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Thank you Joe. Yes, we will never forget.

[@SoundwaveNL1977]

Awesome review of one of my favorites from the Joe team. 😊

[@mickmo4700]

My first experience of the GI Joe comic was the Marvel UK reprints in Action Force, which had about six pages per issue. A holiday special reprinted issue 31 in full, my first full issue ever. I read that comic so many times and it cemented my love for GI Joe.

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Yes! Issue 31 was so great. I love the tale of Snake Eyes up in his cabin. And the Timber wolf that saved his life! Such a powerful book. Thanks for watching! I really appreciate your comment, and your passion for 1980s gi.joe

ON POINT AND IN DEPTH

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Thank you Ron!

[@jaysiclec5860]

That was a beautifully articulate and elegant intro Dave.

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Thanks Brother

[@fromthehildt]

Spirit is awesome. Nice Transition from the clip. Nice Tribute man.

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Thank you !

[@wrp4955]

Well said sir. Very well done. We should always celebrate our victories and honor those who serve. As a kid I grew up without the comics and only new of the sunbow animated series ARAH, and that's why I always see Spirit & Stormshadow as rivals who also respected each other.

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Thank you Wes. Yes, fight for freedom where ever there's trouble! Proud of it. Yeah Spirit vs SS is classic 80s... very cool

[@lexistoyloft2641]

Great review, Spirit is one of the best figures. It was nice that you took a pause for remembrance day too. It sounds like the passport picture change is also going to upset alot of people who will have lost loved ones in that event. All the best!

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Yes, sometimes people need to speak up. Thank you for watching the channel! Yo Joe

[@BobHansenJokes]

I love the run-around approach to reviewing Spirit, thanks Dave! Love seeing those old catalogues, wow I could go on about those. Glad you spoke about Remembrance Day and what they were doing with the prayer as well. I'm not a SPIRITual guy nowadays but I respect everyone's FREEDOM. Wow, see what I did there? Great vid brother, I enjoyed it.

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Hahaha. Very poetic Bob! Thanks for watching 😀

[@OldManTheseDays]

Well said Dave!👏👏

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Thank you !

[@danjamin905]

Great review! The into was spot on and the outro was very interesting!

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Thanks, yes pretty cool we came from that same great grandfather!

[@phoenixrichardson1261]

this rewriting history and taking away peoples rights is really scary. It's global so out of control scary times. all the more reason to interact with the Joe community. I really enjoyed this video. Keep up the great work and a huge Yo Joe! to your grandfather.

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Thank You! Yes, good people must stick together. And speak out. Yo Joe!

[@TurtleTrackin]

In the comics, Storm Shadow didn't stay a villain long. It was known his only interest in joining Cobra was to find the Hard Master's killer. But in the cartoon he was a real villain - though a likeable one.

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Yes, l prefer Larry Hama's storm shadow story. It is very cool how he (Tommy) was in vietnam with Stalker and Snake Eyes. And how the entire Zartan Hard Master thing unfolded. And how he and Snake Eyes become friends again. I really like that you know about the hard master and the real back story as much as l do. Thank you for commenting. YoJoe!
