HCC788 - 1985 Mini-tank ARMADILLO - Vintage g. I. Joe toy review! HD S02E23

[@agnethaladuff8559]

This video review of the G.I. Joe Armadillo, it's so cool, compact and much playable. I have one complete in good condition and it's really good in my collection of Vintage G.I. Joe toys. Thumbs up for the review.

[@sneakyquick]

I traded some baseball cards to a friend when I was a kid for one of these. It was always one of my go to vehicles one of my favorites.

[@MCDJACDC]

Super Excited about Cobra Months! Man, going back through your videos really makes me sad that I missed out on your journey from the beginning.

[@alfonsogarcia8601]

I would love to see a GI Joe Mauler review

[@VolkXue]

I loved this little tank when i was a kid. Mostly because it would roll well

[@christianhafer9819]

I'm looking to pick this up for about 20 dollars or so on ebay. Neat little vehicle. I really like it.

[@duncanragnar3484]

We want a Mauler review!!!!!!!!!

[@christianhafer9819]

I got this vehicle shortly after I posted my comment, I should imagine, and I'm glad you like it, but shouldn't begrudge it for not having very many features. Not everything has to be the Rolling Thunder, or the Killer Whale, or whatever. This is a Top tier vehicle because of it's simplicity. I adore it. Probably a Top 10 vehicle for me.

[@palpatine1975]

Love your review on armadillo.. I'll be picking one up soon... I love the collage poster at the back... Where did u acquire it if I may ask? Cheers! 👍

[@jasonmaiden5026]

Although I never had this one, I like it! Instead I had a couple of one man mini tanks that my dad made out of wood. I played with those quite a bit!

[@JoeMotionVideos82]

I love that the Joe sits deep into The Armadillo. That was a nice touch.

[@HCC788]

+Byron Kellogg Yeah, not a bad small vehicle design.

[@garyvallone5393]

I had this as a kid. Took it to the beach. The waves took it and i saw for a second in the water and it was gone.

[@bingolos9063]

The armadillo might be based of a British Anti-air tank called the FV-434 falcon

[@Straight0uttaCrofton]

if you put the Refrigerator Perry figure on the back it will pop a wheelie

[@TheDarthvalen]

Where those he gets does wonderful toys lol

[@luggagethelegend2721]

Im going to git this

[@1022wil]

wow this brings back some memories for me i used mine as a mobile antiaircraft gun

[@HCC788]

no name here Yes, it would work perfectly for that.

[@1022wil]

yup mine shot down a mess ton of trouble bubble's and once even shot down Serpentor's Air Chariot....lol

[@fuse557]

I want to see the bridge layer!

[@xavierprotocols]

When I was young none of my vehicles ever ran out of gas or my weapons run out of ammo, I must have gotten the Hollywood editions. ;)

[@greatgibby]

Thanks for the review! I never had this as a kid and while watching your video, I hopped on ebay and picked one up for $13. Can't wait for it to arrive so I can put a Marauders Gun Runners figure into it. I think my next search will be for the Cobra Ferret I have some custom Tomax and Xamot figures who'd look awesome on it! 😎👍

[@TheUnboxer073]

I don’t find armadillo a light tank. I find it a anti aircraft tank gun shooting down trouble bubbles and cobra rattler and even shooting down serpentor’s air chariot.

[@racerxgundam]

awesome lil tank. if i ever get back into collecting...one of the first things i would get. i dun mind the smaller toys because in alot of ways...it fits what the joes were....fast response specialized teams. Small and fast was just as important as the larger more destructive units as well.

[@mrdonigan]

I wasn't really into Joe vehicles as much as I was Cobra, but I really loved the Armadillo.

[@autobot2684]

nice review I just got one for $15 online. I never had this as a kid I always wanted one.

[@HCC788]

+autobot2684 I hope you enjoy it! It's a nice, solid little vehicle.

[@autobot2684]

+HoodedCobraCommander788 showed up today I like it very much. no hope I win the next Gi Joe vehicle that I had.

[@adamverwolf9499]

Did you ever review the Mauler MBC Tank?

[@antiquariancrafts2454]

This inspired me to get one. Got a good deal on a boxed example. It's cool.

[@jimmyrich426]

Great review!

[@HCC788]

James Rich Thank you!

[@jacenstarhunter8988]

HCC: Your a very Witty Guy I Like that, enjoyed!

[@lukeickes5351]

Have you done the 1988 hit and run yet+HoodedCobraCommander788

[@HCC788]

I have! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZDYqomvq92oosU

[@MJKToys]

The M50 Ontos could have been an inspiration for the Armadillo. This definitely seems to be the case with the Slaughter's Marauders version.

[@GRAYMATTER_235]

MOBILE COMMAND CENTER, DEFIANT, THE GENERAL

[@jesseguajardo8592]

it looks like it was made for anti aircraft vehicle

[@papishow]

I had this vehicle and loved it! Hasbro should just re release all the old joe and cobra figures and vehicles and that's it! I remember I preferred Barbeque as it's driver for some strange reason...

[@woofan25]

Cool!

[@HCC788]

Ben Penserga Thanks!

[@skilescraper]

hey HCC788 I am 14 but I really like gi joe and I watch the shows and I read the comics but I want to start collecting vintage gi joes are there any suggestions of a couple of figures and maybe two or three vehicles that way I can get a good start to collecting an yes I am a subscriber and I think your awesome and make very informative reviews.

[@HCC788]

skilescraper Thanks for subscribing! I'm glad you' enjoy our old Joe stuff from the 80s. If you want to start a collection, you should first decide the scope of your collection. Do you want everything (that can get very expensive)? Do you want only certain years, or only favorite characters? You can pick up some common figures complete with file cards for less than $20 on ebay. Check the websites linked in the information on my videos (click "Show more") for directories of the toys. You can also pick up smaller vehicles (like the Armadillo) fairly cheaply. The Skyhawk is another one that is pretty cheap and easy to get. From there, maybe work your way up to the big stuff if you want to. Good luck! I hope you'll stick around for more videos!

[@skilescraper]

HoodedCobraCommander788 thanks for the advice man I really appreciate it and your vids are awesome I am looking at figures now and you are the best vintage gi joe collector and reviewer on youtube

[@HCC788]

Thank you!! I appreciate it! Let me know what you pick up.

[@tikifire]

Cool review as usual! I ended up with 2 of these somehow, still got 'em. Great little vehicle.
