Thanks for inviting me to be part of this Ken. This is a great introductory video into the huge world of the GiJoe Adventure Team!❤❤

[@ToyKennections]

Happy to have you on, Ed! Your insights and experiences went a long way to getting this video done. Thanks for all you did.

Buck Roger’s 1979 I thought they had swivel battle grip but my mistake they are straight arm. But for sure o ring. Now I wonder if they are the first o ring figures ? Not sure if there was anything before it.

Lived it. Awesome time of imagination. Took theses guys on outdoor adventures (and lost a few). The play pattern of 1 doll and then additional equipment as needed is a huge reason I’m a gear guy. Have maybe a few incomplete dolls left and a sandwich bag of worn-out broken parts from years of play. I regret NONE of it. Fun bit: the AT “peace” symbol comes from the Appalachian Trail logo.

[@ToyKennections]

Sounds like a fun time! And thanks for the bit about the AT symbol 👍

[@ToyKennections]

Frocked hair! I had no idea Ace was big into the original Joes! Cool!

Hey Ken you need to make a Heuy for the line for Delta 17 that would be fantastic and everyone would love it.

[@wilhelmtoyandhobby]

You all did an amazing job on this one. I feel this may be your best video yet not that O don’t love all the others it’s just that I really enjoyed how you put this one together. 👏👏👏👏

[@ToyKennections]

Thx Will! I had some amazing collaborators to thank for their help!

[@JoePal-c3n]

Just random but mark on your calendar Super7 GIJoe o-ring preorder 29 of July on super7 site I gather. they do look good. But Delta17 figures are above the rest. I just want some more BATS lol

Still part of the crew!

You can really see how the DNA of this (with the bad guys, the grip, and the specializations) and the original line are important to ARAH.

[@ToyKennections]

For sure!

[@StephenFinkNRP]

Thinking back... I don't remember any kid in the 70's that owned a backpack.

[@trtledave3079]

Live at 6:40 PM (EST), what an odd time, you should have gone all out and done something like 6:43 🙂

[@ToyKennections]

I suppose I could go back and change it for giggles...

[@ToyKennections]

Awesome.

[@danielherrin]

YO JOE!!!

Yo Joe!

[@JoePal-c3n]

I also had some 12 cowboys and a bionic man and I think there was a million dollar man. One of them had silver Crome arms. lol all sold off in a garage sale. lol

[@ToyKennections]

Lol. Story of our lives. If only we still all had our old toys.

[@StealthMockingbird]

Just pointing out, Mike was out before Kenner's SMDM. He was absolutely a knockoff of Steve Austin but Kenner was late to the party with the figure.

[@ToyKennections]

I think the toy was same year (1975), but yeah Steve Austin was on in 1973 for the show. But i think Kenner got the license early enough and Hasbro knew it was coming, and countered with Mike Power.
