History of GI Joe - 1984 | A Real American Hero Vintage Toys | w/ Dreadnok Ryan

[@ToyKennections]

Please note this is a RE-UPLOAD from a video aired in October of 2023. I had fixed the following very key items: - Spirit was holding the wrong bird in the original upload - The Vamp Mark II shown in the original video was the '88 mailaway, when I had intended to show the '84 one. Both are fixed in this video.

1984 year of silent interlude 😎

I started getting GI Joe toys in 1987, but as a collector in recent years I think that '84 was the best year of the original ARAH run. An incredible line-up of figures, especially on the Cobra side, and some amazing, iconic vehicles. Thanks for the enjoyable video, regards from Melbourne, Australia.

@ My fav years were 84-87. Plus those characters were in the cartoons

I think I got Joe toys in this year. I don’t remember getting any in 83. Loved the Skyhawk! Still my favorite GI Joe toy. Favorite figures were Mutt and Junkyard along with Spirit and Freedom. For Cobra it was definitely Firefly and Storm Shadow. They would double as a Spider-Man figure for me in my imagination. Zartan was really cool too. I had the bivouac and I think a gunner station. My dad got me the little toys. I would earn my own money the following year and get bigger ones and lots of figures.

[@ToyKennections]

Most definitely a good year!

[@Allison_Troy]

Still solid.

[@ToyKennections]

Yo Joe!

I enjoyed some of these for sure, idk if I ever had the v2 mail order Cobra Commander. Some of the mail order vehicles I got work featured either so I'm looking forward to the next video. These ones might have been too early for me.

Oh, I wish you would’ve mentioned the different helmet for the male away duke

[@Robizoid]

I'm not 100% sure, but I think I still have the vintage Zartan figure. Sure, I have the re-issued figure, but that one doesn't change color in the sun. BTY, I can understand his hatred of the sun☀, I burn in the sun🔥 myself. Maybe because I'm a quarter vampire🧛! LOL!

[@Squirrely23]

I recently started collecting them again. Went to a yard sale found 12 in a gi joe case bought it for $50. That got me buying again. Over 30 I have now many people wants to buy them from me. I can’t do it tho

Let's hope Super7 take over the new O Ring line.
