History of GI Joe - 1986 w/ HoodedCobraCommander788 & Kelly Slaughter Daughter Remus | Vintage Toys

[@dean4125]

i just picked up a complete Terrordrome last weekend!! havent had one in years. its now the centerpiece of my cobra collection!!

[@ToyKennections]

It's truly a great centerpiece!

[@Pegwarmers]

I've been saying for years 1986 is the best year for vintage GI Joe

[@ToyKennections]

It is pretty darn stellar.

[@SlaughterDaughter]

This was so fun to do! Thanks for including me, Ken!

[@ToyKennections]

Thx Kelly. You knocked it outta the park! What a blast!

[@craigbloxham8344]

You did great!

[@craigbloxham8344]

These videos were great all! Thanks for the effort!

[@happiaxxident]

A great year for Joe! Always wanted Thrasher & The Thunder Machine.

[@ToyKennections]

Oh yeah. My thunder machine still needs its antenna.

[@toydomination]

Truly a great lineup. Most of my fav versions of characters come from this year Didn't know Beachhead had lineage to other lines, that's awesome And it always bothered me that Lowlight was a "marksmen" and not a sniper ha. This wave showed both sides of GI Joes camp with military realism, especially the vehicles and Cobra figures (cough cough Mindbender) Great episode Ken

[@ToyKennections]

Thx man. Yeah I always have been fascinated by the connection to other lines, Beach Head in this case. Definitely a great year 😎

[@gazz_N7]

Stellar episode Ken, Hoodie, and Kelly!!! This was probably my favorite year for Joe, I mean how could it not with Vipers, Zarana 😍, and Sarge!!! 😘👍

[@ToyKennections]

Yup. It's the earliest one I remember seeing in stores and even finding some '86 figures as late as '88 on pegs.

[@UsualmikeTelevision]

Fantastic video Ken. 1986 was a fantastic year I really enjoyed this video! Thank you.

[@ToyKennections]

Thanks Mike. 1986 was indeed one of the best and we'll need to get together again as well

[@TheRetroTinker]

Great video Ken,Kelly and Brian! Happy cobra convergence! Cobraaaaa!

[@ToyKennections]

Happy Cobra convergence month Nate!

[@johnnymason2460]

I had the LCV Recon Sled. It was even better than a normal motorcycle.

[@dalesanteford7432]

Hello everybody very good work my friends

[@dalesanteford7432]

GI Joe 1986 is my favorite year for the figures I would look at the little folder to my favorite years who you can pick up and my brother's had most of these

[@johnsoehnlen4781]

Excellent video. I hope that you'll eventually get to every year. 1986 is my favorite and I think every kid in the U.S. knew who Sgt. Slaughter was in1986 and 1987.

[@ToyKennections]

Thanks! Check out the 1987 video from a couple weeks back as well.

[@nostrem82]

great stuff Ken love the stun was my first vehicle always preferred the cobra vehicles haha 🤘

[@ToyKennections]

Cobra as a faction has aged well. Army builders galore!!

[@nostrem82]

absolutely 🤘

[@Klebersoaresmelo]

HCC788 here! Very cool!

[@ToyKennections]

Yup!

[@impossiblepie]

Another great year for G.I Joe!

[@ToyKennections]

Yo frigging Joe!

[@975gthjo8]

Just remembered - Cobra Commander was originally a mail-in figure.

[@woodman29]

Great job guys!

[@ToyKennections]

Thx Woodman!!

[@975gthjo8]

The G.I.Joe team had 2 Army Rangers, 2 Navy SEALs, and 2 Marines up through their prime years. They did not get their first Green Beret until after the franchise had passed its prime. They never had any Marine Force Recon or Delta Force (to my knowledge).

[@lesteralvarez903]

Awesome video guys!! Yo Joe!!!

[@ToyKennections]

Yo Joe!

[@k-dawgbroadcasting5444]

Continuing to impress a year at a time...

[@ToyKennections]

Such a dominant toy line. Thx K-Dawg!

[@henryisnotafraid]

I'm not proud of it but I can admit that one of the few things as a child that I stole were garbage Pail kids and the Androids or bats. I think I had a total of four maybe five, two were paid for.

[@Cluckkent88]

Cool🎉

[@johnnymason2460]

Let's remember that the Cobra Vipers were actually lower in rank than the Cobra Soldiers themselves.

[@danielherrin]

Zaranna always has me distracted ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@AllAboutTheVillains]

Terror Drome needs to be the next Haslab!!!

[@ToyKennections]

Ohhhh. That would turn some heads!

[@bsimon9427]

another crazy good video and seeing these 3 hosts together again gives me flash backs of saturday night of joefest, or was it friday night? idk i was drunk LOL!

[@ToyKennections]

It was Saturday! Either that or I was talking to another 6'6 dude who collects GI Joe stuff... I can't remember... but by process of elimination I can only think of one dude who fits the bill...

[@bsimon9427]

@@ToyKennections was he a handsome devil? then that was me 😁

[@idstealer000]

The best year was 1985, sorry to disappoint you all!

[@ToyKennections]

Well, no harm in that. '85 was epic!
