Top 10 Worst Vintage GI Joe Action Figures | List Show #38

[@Jozabad]

And it just so happens that I stopped playing with GI Joe figures around 1989 or 1990. The very last thing I did was to pose all of my figures and vehicles in an epic battle scene culminating with Snake Eyes fighting hand-to-hand with Cobra Commander, all spread out across the entire living room floor. My mom wasn't too happy about that -- she can't appreciate fine art.

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

How many of them survived the great culling of the living room? If that was my mom they would have all been put in the trash.

[@Jozabad]

Thankfully the living room wasn't used much at the time so none of them were thrown away. But after that all of them were packed up into their fancy blue-and-yellow Bell Systems toolbox and moved down into the cellar.

[@justbecause4042]

Holy crap!! Great minds think alike! I did the same thing for my last battle. Even took pictures.

[@facina3390]

Jozabad I like the way you think! I was born in 82 and over the last 36 years, my imagination has made Snake Eyes basically omnipotent in my mind.

[@raheenb]

Can you please leave the pictures of the items your discussing up for longer? Sometimes you're describing things for 60 seconds that were only on the screen for 4 seconds...it would make more sense to leave them up for the duration they're being described...at least in a small portion of the screen. Otherwise great job on your channel!

[@MeanMrMustard1]

What this guy said. I had to skip back a few times to look at the figure being discussed. Kinda annoying.

[@rmn0019]

Show the figure, not your face. We already see your face like a lot.

[@javierarmendariz8784]

Yup!! Thought the same thing. Really bad bad editing. You do this a lot. Show the toy more! And I notice some episodes you don’t show you at all?!

[@Straun30]

I met Larry Hama a few years ago, he explained he was in the Korean War, and the entire first lines of good guys were based on guys he knew and friends from the Korean War. The minute he said this Doc and Gung Hos clothing made sense. Gung Ho was dressed as he was because hes essentially the Joe in the field on a long deployment in a jungle or hot country, hes now down to his flak vest and pants after weeks of digging fox hole the way they used to have to and sitting in the hot sun playing cards between mortar bombings and fire fights. To kids with good imaginations who had seen all the war movies, Gung Ho gives you a more in the field action guy to play with. Larry Hama designed most of the GI Joes and couldnt stand Hasbros ridiculousness. He said all the madness, came from some executive board of people. Half the time hed get a sketch of some crap some fool designed on a napkin, and was told to work it into his comics. The stupid florescent colors and moving away from authentic characters like Hit and Run and Tunnel Rat, was because of the hippie bastards trying to protest military toys, and so they moved to more martial arts, and stupid themes and colors and maybe a handful of excellent figures came out in the 90s line, I personally think a fair amount of vehicles came out then.

[@philv2529]

Just think how terrible the Joe's would have tuned out without Larry Hamma.

[@314clipper314]

Larry was in Vietnam, not Korea. :p Good points about his excellent grounded character choices despite Hasbro, though.

[@1366613matt]

My vote goes to the whole 90's Joe line. There not my childhood Joes. That neon funky color that ran rampent in the 90's ruined Transformers and G.I. Joe. Great list

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

Like Hasbro I suppose I should have just cut that whole part of the line off.

[@camcordernonsense5264]

They should have been displayed in the candy aisles.

[@brandonirizarry6380]

I remember I would base paint and color the ones I didn't like. I also had doubled to have two different costumes 😎

[@bb5242]

I had quit buying Joes by then, used to see them in the stores and be like "wtf happened?" I held on for a really long time, was like a sophomore in HS and was still secretly into the comic and the toys. And then I decided to meet girls, get a driver's license, not be a geek anymore. Maybe a closet geek after that? Well, I did have plenty of girlfriends oddly enough. Some of the guys from back then had a tough time moving on. I think I was never the stereotypical nerd, just really liked those toys for some reason and kept it to myself pretty much.

[@Mrashxking]

90s zartan. Orange Mohawk looks like a member of a cold slither tribute band

Dubuya Jay, it was already stated correctly: High *Explosive* Anti-Tank. It is a multiple use acronym, used by both artillery ( tank gun esp ) and missile warheads. The high kinetic energy weapons use different acronyms.

[@reignman2263]

One minor retraction: Skidmark was actually 1988, NOT 98. That aside, I wholeheartedly agree with the entire list.

[@chickenalaking1319]

I would've included Dee-Jay, just for those boots alone.

[@eddie8096]

Oh yeah! Forgot about Dee-Jay. What a terrible outfit. I'm not alone.

[@jonnyg9865]

I was out of collecting by the time Dee-Jay rolled around but damn did he look godawful. I heard he was almost as notorious as peg-warmer as Crystal Ball. At least CB could pass as a Rasputin-style mystic if you took away that dumb shield. Poor Dee-Jay was just dogshit all around.

[@D21BeastReviews]

I appreciate you fighting the urge to take a shot at the Street Fighter Joes.

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

I almost put it in the open that I wasn't even going to consider them part of the line for the list. Probably should have done the same thing with everything post-1990.

[@siqaraminmassaquoi1999]

Those things were god awful!!!! With the exception of E Honda and Guile.

[@jonnyg9865]

I was done collecting Joes by the late 80s and I remember catching sight of Hasbro's brightly colored offerings in a mall somewhere and was amazed that GI Joe was still around. Then I saw the Street Fighter tie ins and I predicted it wouldn't be for much longer.

[@HoosierGarage]

Yeah the 90s were obsessed with all the neon colors and GI Joe was no exception.

[@brucifer48060]

Dude you had me rolling on this one. The fighting sounds when you were talking about dojo had me crying.

[@BK-qu6lj]

GI Joe Captain GridIron was one of the weirdest and stupid concepts. I regretted owning him. Heat Viper on the other hand was just one of several super colorful troops that I really could get into.

[@hensolo10]

I used #1 road pig for wrestling figure like LOD type-so color scheme worked and I also had tomax n xamot like the British bulldogs

[@JustinLeeper]

Road Pig v1 may be my favorite Joe of all time (since I never found a Snake Eyes). But I had nearly outgrown action figures by that time.

[@SuperKidsCostumes]

Deep Six !!! Number 2! You hurt me deep with that one Dan, you hurt me deep. There is no GI Joe figure I coveted more of my best friend's more considerable collection than him. Articulation be damned. That robotic clunky looking suit filled my imagination with all of the power and protection that its form implies and he singlehandedly won many a mission when faced with overwhelming odds because of it. Anyway, great video as always keep it up 👍

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

Loved the dome, and I'm all for a sci-fi-bell-diver type figure but even back then it was all about the superiority of Joes to Star Wars because they had more articulation and then you're going to throw a 2-pt figure out there? No, Hasbro. No.

[@SuperKidsCostumes]

Toy Galaxy 😂

[@ThomasSpychalski]

I had Deep Six, the original one and for me as a kid, his clunkiness left him in his vehicle or standing in the background a lot during 'episodes'... (I was weird, I expanded my own universe with stuff from the Marvel comics and the cartoon -like the first version of Storm Shadow became Billy after I got the new camo one etc).

[@ericfleming5522]

I guess I managed to hit that sweet spot where I didn't have a ton of GI Joes, but all the ones I had were awesome. I'm suddenly left wondering if I owe a thank you to my dad for making sure I only got figures and vehicles that conceivably looked like they might actually be in the military--I had Flint and Sergeant Slaughter, but somehow didn't even know about any of these hideous neon figures until just this minute.

[@MerensWorld]

The Scarlett figure makes sense based on her relationship with Snake Eyes in the Comics,

[@joeyvanostrand3655]

Jim Beam and Milwaukee's Best Ice are responsible for me ending up with a few "Road Pigs".

[@Jcc2224]

I had the fisherman Bazooka and Deep Six as a kid. Called them fisherman (even though, like you, the grenade wrist strap confused me too), and for some reason I called Deep Six Deep Suit. Mr. Deepy was a brick, but he made for a good bath and pool toy, always loved deep sea exploration and I guess they made him simplistic so no metal joints or screws would rust. Great list Dan, quite a lot of odd ones for sure! The thing that confused me the most on the Heat Viper was that a little bit of his chin was showing. Why?

[@jonnyg9865]

For some reason I can see Bazooka fishing with hand grenades.

[@spencerwelchii573]

I love watching the background of your vidz and seeing the Lazer Tag helm covered skull move around.

[@MacrossSD]

@7:19 -- H.E.A.T stands for High Explosive, Anti-Tank, so it actually makes a LOT of sense for a bazooka trooper.

[@gerard_torbitt]

Aw man. I owned that Road Pig and he was one of my favourites. He was badass.

[@jonnyg9865]

The original figure is awesome. He had that wrist-mounted crossbow like the dude from Road Warrior. I don't know what they were thinking with the Sonic version lol. It looks like a clown threw up all over him.

[@33Luger]

And his concrete weapon.

[@Artefracture]

You could have populated this list entirely with the Street Fighter toys made with GI Joe molds. they literally just painted skin tones over any utility pouches or weapons.

[@MrKersey]

It's a color of money$$$! Bright colored action figures, strategically placed on key points at various toyshops certainly made more money than bland, drab or uniform figures, no matter how realisticly they were painted. But I agree, it has nothing to do with alleys or urban force camo.

[@johnnyfavorite1194]

As I recall, the figures that caused my peers and I to drool rabidly were the Dreadknots and their leader, Zanzabar.

[@jimtilley1158]

I can't believe you forgot Crystal Ball. No body bought this guy. You would go into the store and every joe would be gone except a backlog of dozens of Crystal Ball, HEAT Viper does make sense if you know military acronyms. H.E.A.T. Refers to High Explosive Anti-Tank. Tank rounds come in HE, High Explosive, AP Armor Piercing, and HEAT

[@linalover1977]

The only cool thing about Crystal Ball was Stephen King wrote his bio. The character Sneek-Peak real name was named after Stephen King's son.

[@andybassham2369]

man, I read this after I wrote the same thing above. There are probably a few thousand Crystal Ball figures out there in that dump along with the Atari E.T. cartridges.

[@RockandrollNegro]

Fun fact about Crystal Ball: he was held over for two more waves (three waves total) not because he was so popular, but because they couldn't sell out his first wave! They had thousands of this thing just sitting around waiting to be sold. I bought him because I thought he looked cool, but I wish he would have had a rifle at least.

I loved the Storm Shadow and the guy in purple the most.

HEAT (in the militarily fashion) stands for High Explosive Anti-Tank. So, the HEAT Viper, being a “bazooka” soldier, would be a correct naming convention since he would be an soldier specific to anti-armor operations 🤓😂

[@bccoulombe]

Desert fox was an awesome vehicle. Skidmark!?! I never knew that was the figures name until this upload.

[@WyldstaarStudios]

Yeah, I loved the GI Joe Shark vehicle, but I didn't bother with using Deep Six as the pilot. Never mind the lack of articulation. He just looked stupid. If his joints has been just as posable as a standard Joe, he'd still have looked like garbage. I tried that stupid underwater action feature ONCE. I used the Shark vehicle as a plane, because that's what it looked like.

[@PukeSkinwalker]

My theory is that GI Joe was used to showcase potential Hasbro deals with movie IPs and stuff. Dreadnots were likely Mad Max based on interest figures and they wanted to capture the figures. Ninja force was likely a push to obtain the rights to Street Fighter movie in development and they decided to use a dying IP to create IPs. Same with Waterworld and the Eco Warriors line. They were likely using scrapped molds or unused IPs for that when the deal went through. Instead they went with Kenner who then used the same Power of the Force methodology. Th Cesspool figure really looks like the main villain and hence they likely went with the cheaper option as GI Joe's articulation was not as marketable.

[@LukeBaty]

I clicked on this because the thumbnail picture (Leatherneck) was literally one of, if not my favorite, G.I. Joes. He reminded me of my grandpa, so I always liked him.

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

You know, this would be a good figure if it weren't for the color choices they made. There's nothing inherently wrong with the sculpt or costuming.

[@ThatJohnKillion1970]

"Interrogator, as you know, was a helicopter pilot." Of course he was. That makes total sense.

[@dinomonzon8853]

Actually had the G. I. Joe Desert 6WD and the original Interrogator, the latter was an improvement over Dr. Mindbender. Agree with you about the ninjas.

Fair enough. I do believe that everyone is entidled to thier own opinion and no one should ever dissuade you from that opinion. I respect your opinion even though I do dissagree with it... namely with Deep Six I would put him in 10 worst for the first 5-6 years but not when many others from the 90's deserve the punishment.

So I guess those are *practice* grenades, right?

What was the moose with battle armor? It looked familiar to me. I knew a kid who had a ton of figures with animal shapes and they were some battle things. Also anyone remember gummy wrestlers or warriors? They started out as flesh colored rubber figures and then they added various colors and you were supposed to collect them all.

I knew a kid once in summer camp who was bullied all summer long for bringing his Heat viper figure with him. All the other boys made fun of him for having such a stupid figure. Having G. I.

Where are those rockets now? - asked the others. Of course he lost all of them soon after opening the figure.

I made the transition from the wonderful 80s to "those 90s"... watching my "Jo's" adorn neon this and neon that...was painful...(I kinda like the neon now) but I saw that the "end was nigh"....off topic, but even transformers went neon with "G2"...damn, those 90s!!!!

[@nicholastrueblood8683]

HEAT stands for High Explosive Anti Tank. Its a real tank round

[@joshn2701]

What was the Moose toy I had that when I was little

[@nickb2208]

I like how you only used one tenth of the screen to show stuff in a lil window, and the rest for you!

[@tombakabones274]

I had both road pigs I still have the 91 version I also had the version of beachhead with the blue camo bdus dark blue vest blue camo cap and that ungodly oversized dark blue backpack not sure which version that is

[@NESADDICT]

I was always a fan of the bright 90's outfits. Ally Viper was sick! So was croc master and big boa!

[@falleneldor]

NES ADDICT same. I love the 90's dr. Mindbender, the Drug War subset Eco warriors and all of ninja force. They played well with street fighting abd mortal kombat figures which pulled me in to g.I. joe.

[@Lots43]

Alley Vipers were scary death-dealing machines in the G.I.Joe comic books

[@otiscarpenter2842]

NES ADDICT those characters were made in the late 80's. I liked Alley Viper's uniform but the boots because of the kneepads should of been designed different or better or @least without the laces.

[@otiscarpenter2842]

Drache Zwiehänder I sorry but I'm not interested, thank u though.

[@Slightlyevil]

I love the weird colors but I grew up in the 90's.

[@barryevans9486]

Ninja Scarlett was actually a retool of the Joe Chun Li, and her kick gimmick was a result of Chun Li having her Spinning Bird Kick.

[@walterlucero5757]

Woah! The guy from the G.I.Joe/Street Fighter Action Figure commercials is a Cobra member?! (3:52)

[@mamunestor]

Deep 6 is the worst. The Leatherneck and Bazooka that you listed… I always got those 2 confused. They are both going on a fishing trip.

[@ivanzambrano4980]

How is it that the neon green interrogator is way more expensive than the v1 or v3 interrogator

[@jessehaaland7689]

This video is hillarous...and ill add..I like the editing!

[@kevingallagher188]

You have the best videos on toys I have ever seen.

[@blankwavemessiah]

that ninja rip also became the original mortal kombat line's shang tsung, didnt it???

[@dannyrighi]

Please guys great show but you have to place the pictures bigger and more often or for longer cos sucks to pause the. Video to zoom to it

[@epicnipple8746]

Agreed, Bigger and Longer Pics please!

[@geraldperez2768]

I liked the ninja Joes as a kid, But in retrospect the only ninja Joes worth buying were snake eyes and stormshadow. I also got the street fighter and mortal kombat joes. I did not like the new colors of old joes, like all the neon and day glow schemes. Not very tactical. My least favorite G.I. Joes was that Cobra character that likes to blow everything up. I forgot his name but he had missile launchers attached to his legs. Good video.

Quality control: this colo.... those colours are awful! Designer: it’s okay... we’ve already made it. Just role with it. Quality control: FML!

[@caplinGrey]

I just came to say Interrogator v.1 and 2 are INCREDIBLE figures. V.2 is worth more too.

[@timothylewis2527]

I graduated in 1994 and I had skidmark (with some awesome vehicle) waaaay before that.

[@Docrate1]

I kinda liked Roadpig V2, basically because back then I didn't have the original one. As for my least favorite Joe, it has to be Outback V3. dude went from badass survival specialist to ... Militarized construction worker. with the Yellow hard hat.

[@BRK5813]

You make me laugh! I MUST HAVE that moose btw, what's its name and who makes it?

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

It's from the Battle Beasts line. www.toyarchive.com/BattleBeasts/Figures/33MajMoose1a.jpg

[@BRK5813]

Thanks!

[@bobjames9618]

I feel like a virgin again watching your videos! I remember little after I ran off joined the marines and started drinking!!!

[@bryankeeton7956]

Love this video. I agree, gi Joe in the 90s was horrible. The cobra commander with breathing tube outside the mask was nuts.
