Pretty neat bit of trivia there! I didn't even realize the name on the Dragonfly differed from that of Ace, on the box. Or perhaps I spotted it... but I never put two and two together.

True story. Buddies of mine from college told me a story of their Dad who was an AH-1 Cobra pilot from Vietnam. Their Helicopter unit was based in New England, and in the early 80s got a call from Hasbro, whose headquarters was close by and they wanted to come out and get some photographs of the Cobras for a new toy line. So they came out, interviewed the pilots and took pictures of the pilots in their flight gear and all the helicopters on the ground and in the air. Well, one of the pictures was my friends' dad, and he wore his Cavalry Stetson and had a mustache at the time. So the theory is that he was the model for the Dragonfly pilot Wild Bill. They got a bunch of free Hasbro toys that week too. Both brothers later went on to be Helicopter Pilots for the US Army as well and flew with Task Force 160, The Night Stalkers,. US Army Special Operations Aviation Regiment.

At mid 80's, I was in my 12 when uncle Frank came over from the U.S. with that awesome Christmas gift. Nowadays I'm a 50 grow man, and I still preserve that G.I.JOE Dragonfly XH-1 among my dearest possessions, including the box whom front cover painting is a piece of art itself. I also have saved both its Blue Prints and catalog. Action figure Lt/W. Hardy "Wild Bill" as pilot of course; and "Fast Draw" which I got it a decade later, taking the artillery back seat. Thank you uncle Frank wherever you are. Thanks Toy Federation for keep alive the kid within all of us. Greetings from Dominican Republic.

FYI: the Dragonfly is just an Updated version of the Hughes AH-1 Cobra that was used in Vietnam but the Hasbro people talked to Military Expert of the Time and they were given the WISH LIST that the Marine Corps had since they were still flying the Cobra in 1986 the Marines got the AH-1W SUPER COBRA the USMC still fly the Cobra but today with the New Engines, Avionics and Weapon capability it is Called the AH-1Z Viper which is VERY CLOSE to the G.I. Joe Dragonfly. I grew up in the 80s and collected G.I. Joes and also watches the T.V. Show and had a very strong interest in Military Technology that followed me into college and into the Military where I served in the US Navy and worked in Aviation. I am a BIG Fan of the Sky Striker and got to see the last deployment of the F-14s and their homecoming in 2006. I also ordered one of the Haslab Sky Strikers that has been sitting in my desk now for over a month still in the box unopen because right now I do not have a place to put it since we are having some work done to the house and the Loft where I have my collectables is just full of the stuff from the rooms that are getting new windows and getting new paint but all the work should be done by mid-June hopefully and I will have the ability to get to see my Sky Striker a toy that I have not put my hands since 1990 when I gave away all my original G.I. Joes away when I went off to college. Looking back I should have just put all those original mint condition toys in boxes and put them in storage somewhere instead of giving them away because they are probably worth a pretty penny since I used to put the planes on the ceiling with fishing string and everything else on book shelfs behind plexiglass. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_AH-1_Cobra en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_AH-1_SuperCobra www.army-technology.com/projects/supcobra/

My first action figure was a 3 3/4 Snake Eyes with straight arms that didn’t swivel. I still remember going to the department store in 1982 and choosing him over the other dozen plus figures available. I eventually had a room dedicated to GI Joe figs…1 side was Cobra, the other Joe…I had every figure available and every vehicle/structure (other than the air craft carrier). Soon thereafter my house burned to the ground losing everything 😕. Almost 40 years later and my home office/man-cave is full of 100s of action figures old and new…GI Joe, Legends, Black Series, Hot Toys etc. 😁😁😁 I will definitely check out your store if I’m ever in your neck of the woods!!!!!!

Lol They were dismembering the guys, burning up jeeps, choppers, snowmobiles, and maybe a few Cobra guy were torched. I think my daughters were harder on toys than my sons were? lol I think I still have a few remnants of the stuff but mostly worthless. Oh i do have a bag of weapons, lots and lots of guns.

So the store I frequent that has collectibles and memorabilia and toys and all that. I was there when some gentleman came in... and he has the entire line of GI Joe from 1982 to 1984... all still carded. Every single character, Joe and Cobra. Every single Marvel GI Joe comic, CGC 8 or above, and something like 150 assorted BATs, Crimson Guard, and Cobra Soldier, loose but recently repaired with all accessories. Talking with the owner after the fact, because that was a haul he could not buy, he told me that it was easily a 15 to 20k collection that he could not justify spending that much lucre on.

Nice video. Having re purchased as many Joes as I could from my youth in early 2000-2002 on eBay, it was sort of refreshing to see you fretting over getting a complete intact dragonfly for that gentleman, as well as seeing that you wanted to work on making the Whale complete. I bought many of these items with a small defect here and there due to budget constraints. It galled me at times because I learned my lesson as a kid when I started collecting Joes and was very protective of them when I played with friends. I had seen kids break other kids Tonka trucks, Star Wars toys etc, and when I sold my Joes to a kid two grades below me in high school, they were as close to new condition as you could get out of the package. I did play with em, but I tried to make huge set piece battles and by time I set em up, it was usually time for something else like dinner or riding bikes, etc. when I repurchased on EBay, it was very hit or miss on finding vehicles and playsets in really nice condition.

Looks like you need to figure out how to completely dismantle those Dragonfly copters so you can assemble a bunch of good ones. If there aren't replica labels, get some made. Could be some money in those bins from customers who care more about having a nice toy rather than complete originality. A Dragonfly was one of the few G.I. Joe toys I had. Mine was an early one without the orange tips on the blades. What would be really cool is to see someone take one of those busted up toy helicopters and make it into a flying, radio controlled helicopter.

I only have one figure left, which I think is Duke, and have zero recollection of owning any of the vehicles. Just remember being fond of any of the ones that came with animal figurines - like Croc Master. Some of the dumbest dudes I know can recall virtually everything they ever owned as a kid, yet I struggle to remember all three playsets I owned, munus Greyskull of course.

The Dragonfly design is based upon (ironically) the Cobra Attack Helicopter.

The Dragonfly was based on the USMC AH-1T Improved SeaCobra. It's an attack helicopter. Although it falls in the Bell Huey family of helicopters. Most people think of the "Huey" as the UH-1 series of utility/support choppers designed for troop and cargo transport and medical/causality evacuation.

3d printing could be an option for replacing the broken pieces. Though purists probably want original pieces

With 3D printing you could just replace everything. Recreate everything and you'd never know the difference. It just depends on the type of collector you are. In my opinion there should be repro pr whatever it's called, recreations off all these toys that way the past won't be forgotten. They may not be made of the exact plastics and paint of the times, but the appearance and usability will basically still be 100% same as it was when they were made decades ago. Keeping the past alive.
