I vividly remember these somewhat pegwarming when they came out but I eventually snagged them to augment my Joe and cobra forces. It seems like they hung around for YEARS (or they would be steadily restocked not sure). They were cool. Many could easily suffer “broken thumb syndrome”. Fairly sure I still have some (tanner, whispering Willie, and shark I believe with a couple of more)

Yeah the weapon handles are probably molded too wide for most of the figures, so it took me a bit to find really nice examples

@@Mvargo97 I dint doubt. At that point in my collecting I was careful and still broke some.

This was great bro, and I learned a lot about wave 1 today! I collect the 90’s Corps figures already but now I’m going after the 80’s waves. Great video! 🙌🏻

We’ll be getting to the 90s stuff very soon

Man thanks for this video, I know nothing about The Corps, having only got ibto Joes 3 years ago. Love history videos and this is a great eye opener for me.

Awesome! I Was looking for something like this, and its recent as the time of this comment! It would of cool to see all of their accessories alongside the figure on the rotation base for completion reference. But better than nothing, happy you put this together! Hopefully more videos of the vintage corps waves are to come!
@Mvargo973 ай бұрын
Glad you enjoyed it. The second wave should be out soon. Starting with the next video the accessories will be shown with the figure as well

They always worked as a random Merc faction... Ranked up there with The Bad Guys as chumps to shoot at, if you didn't have enough Cobra guys. I used these guys as a Rebel Soviet faction, and had them taking over Joe bases and Cobra strongholds...

Very nice! Great overview of a great toyline! I actually had ALL of the Lanard figures from the 80's, Even the space figures and the later released 4" girl figures. I really loved the look and the price.

Had a bunch of these. K-Mart Joes I called them. As a kid I didn't care, they looked fine with Joes and they were dirt cheap.

Mine always integrated into playtime. When you can get 3 for the price of one Joe it was hard to pass up sometimes.
