Version one/1992 Bullet-Proof is a really great looking figure. It’s a simple design but it works and is realistic looking to actual military uniforms

[@stevendunkley8890]

What a shame the gas mask on his backpack isn't detatchable so you can fit it onto his helmet like blowtorch's mask. that was always my favourite feature on that particular figure

[@Pegwarmers]

The Helicopter is the same color as the tan paint on his uniform. That makes him qualified to fly it in my book. Plus he's got an Air Force belt too.

[@glennrobbins2372]

My son had him and used him as a jungle trooper. I had to glue his mic to the helmut so it didn't get lost. Seemed like a good figure, too bad Hasbro didn't keep that type of paint theme with other figures from the 90's.

[@WWJD85]

Just the escape I need. An hcc788 video.

[@CarlBeatty]

Like this figure for some reason. Surprised the light works in the gun. Cool.

[@agnethaladuff8559]

Very nice review of the G.I. Joe Bullet-Proof, it sure does look like a very good action figure. It's definitely a must have for dedicated vintage G.I. Joe collectors. Thumbs up for another great video review.

[@affoster79]

The yellow camouflage pattern helped Bulletproof blend in with street lights.

[@maxbrandt6]

Version 2 of Bullet-Proof has his "broccoli & cheese" camo on! (^_^)

[@cobraisland2594]

Great figure I had both I loved the concept

[@zartan7779]

I like the 92 version

[@cobraviper11]

The Dr. Mindbender thing never gets old 😂

[@thomasp.4650]

Another review, and another that was thoroughly enjoyed!

[@christianhafer9819]

While I must admit, I probably prefer the tan, the yellow still looks pretty excellent, and that's the one I'd buy, since I don't want a purple file card, or light up gimmick, or the fact he's part of DEF. So, V2 all the way! Top tier!

[@christianhafer9819]

I have since gotten my V2 Bullet Proof, and man! Is it tough to put that missile launcher in his hand, and get it out. I had to pry it out with a screwdriver. Lol. Good thing I didn't scratch or break anything. I won't be putting the launcher in his hands very much. His other three accessories are superb though.

[@TravelledChain1]

Pretty sure they put the vehicle specialties on there because of advertising

[@manofaction1807]

Wonder what Bullet-Proof thought about Falcon?

[@rtd1409]

Great review of a fave figure!

[@gussygoro2469]

Insightful! Can we get a review of Cobra's Ballistic Battle Ball, AKA, SpaceX's Starhopper?

[@dmathiass]

The SMG looks like a chinese PPS43 or also chinese Type 50 or Type 54 SMG.

[@paulleepoy7236]

Grown ups playing with g.i.joe is awesome!

[@paulleepoy7236]

Drugs were illegal back then

[@delvis7842]

He looks like Dennis Haysbert with a flat top! Great review, thanks for sharing!

[@eshaw2115]

If this is Bullet Proof, where's his trench coat and sunglasses?

[@hneugiii1245]

I see what you did there 👍. "Fighting Crime in a future time."

[@user-si9fx4xb6v]

@@hneugiii1245 Don't forget the C.O.P.S. action figure line had a character called Checkpoint, who is a descendant of Beach Head's family and his file card even mentions this. Before he was a civilian policeman, Checkpoint was an M.P. in the Army.

[@arsenalxa4421]

@@user-si9fx4xb6v Larry Hama wrote the file cards for C.O.P.S. so it was bound to happen.

[@Transfixed]

I don't know if the DEF concept is so dated. I hear those cartels are pretty nasty.

[@lostonwallace1396]

He would have been much better with black boots, gloves, belt, etc instead of the tan or yellow. That would have looked better with the green. The head is good. It's well sculpted and painted, but the uniform paint is pretty lackluster overall. My cut-off point for collecting Joes is 1987 and some from '88. After that, they just began getting too far afield for me.

[@400heavy]

Another great review! Keep up the fantastic work!

[@19delta32]

Hey HCC788 I was wondering how I can get a new code book, my new puppy ate mine. Believe it or not. Lol. Thank you.

[@wearenotallowedtohaveourow6543]

Hi HCC, can you tell me what is the date stamp etc on the figure stand ? ...do all the 90s figures have the same stand ?

[@STRYDENT]

No mention of the white guy in the card art vs the clearly BROWN skinned figure? That always bothered me.

[@lo1bo2]

That's what I was going to comment on. Apparently the artist didn't get the memo in time. Then Hasbro didn't bother to make a change for the '93 update.

[@diggitydave75438]

What are y'all talking about? The card art is a black guy. May be lighter skinned, but it's a black guy.

[@edaniels240]

Yep, Heavy-Duty's brother as well as another cousin of Roadblock's

[@STRAKAZulu]

I always thought that the C.O.P.S. series was an offshoot of GI Joe.

[@jaywoodley6014]

Checkpoint is beachheads son

[@christianbrix4311]

His name is Morris and he's from Chicago - is he supposed to be related to Heavy Duty?

[@nyquist75]

hoodie said we can have our drugs so have at it guys!

[@woofan25]

Not a bad figure for the time. Still holds up for the most part.

[@Michael_Johnson_5446]

Nice figure for the 90s.

[@JomasterTheSecond]

Bulletproof was released on DEF cards for both '92 and '93 in Australia. Just sayin'.

[@AgentSmartnumber86]

Wow I did not know at all about the head hunters.this is brand new to me thank you I shall research and find these characters ☺

[@zartan7779]

I just contributed I want that challenge coin

[@GhostWolf141]

Why does Dr Mindbender always get used as target practice??

[@sirgrunt99]

When I first saw him I thought he was a way Cops toy line and cartoon to join GI Joe.

[@joeblaster8770]

Saying "Real American Heroes don't do drugs" is really dumb when you think about vets who smoke Marijuana because how bad their PTSD is.

[@diggitydave75438]

To me, the use of the term drugs would apply more to addictive, heavy drugs....which marijuana isn't.

[@zartan7779]

Wasn't the headhunter storm trooper In this set

[@kaylemathewcomendador7614]

The Stormtroopers were meant to be in the 2nd wave, but got moved into Battle Corp. That info feels more worthy to be mentioned in a review of the Stormtrooper figure instead honestly.

[@zartan7779]

@@kaylemathewcomendador7614 oh didn't realize

[@jakeproven256]

I personally consider the 1993 bulletproof a variant not a new version.

[@jakeproven256]

Kinda strange the figures were advertising the DIC cartoon since the DIC cartoon was canceled in January of 1992 and I'm not sure if this figure was available by then so their basically advertising a show not premiering new episodes.

[@user-si9fx4xb6v]

Maybe the toys were delayed in getting released to retailers, and their was no time to correct the packaging before the DIC cartoon was canceled. After all, quite a few of the 1980's action figures took a while to appear in the Marvel comic book series, with some( such as Iceberg) appearing when the only way to obtain them via mail order from Hasbro.

[@thefantasticdrill788]

I hate the beige, if that had been darker, I would army build this guy to have black soldiers.

[@BennyLlama39]

HCC: "No more partnership for a drug-free America; so now, America, if you want your drugs, have at it." Me: I don't care what anyone says-- that was funny as hell. 😀

[@MiKeMiDNiTe-77]

I'm pretty open with GI JOE I love most of the characters including the strange ones but Bulletproof looks cool in the artwork has an awesome looking rocket launcher but the figure himself just doesn't work for me

[@MidnightRangeTM]

Is anyone else wondering why he looks like a white guy on the card art?

[@jackloera4600]

How about we say no to drugs and no to 90s joes? Who's with me?!

[@JoeMotionVideos82]

I can't say that I like this one. He's pretty bland.
