Hasbro has put all of the full episodes on to YouTube!

I’m not going to confirm or deny that I may have introduced my kids to the marvel of animation wonders of my childhood since we’ve been at home for two weeks already. Big Grin

Oh HELL YEAH!

I feel like I need some life lessons from Beachhead or Lifeline! Knowing is half the battle.

For a few years, all my brother or I wanted for Christmas where GI Joe toys.

Will have a watch these.

Thanks for posting this.

Do any of you remember that GI Joe movie with the cobra commander origin story and the weird snake people.
That was pretty dark.

I was a big fan but I didn't have any action figures. I did have a ton of the comics and watched every show

My favorite character was Scrap-Iron.

His Bio (from wiki)

He is methodical and precise. Imperfection in any form repels him. His primary military specialty is tank destroyer. Scrap-Iron was apparently a product designer for Destro's armaments company, carrying out initial field testing on all new armor-piercing munitions and sub-munitions. His area of specialization is remote-launched, laser-guided, rocket-propelled piezo-electric fused anti-tank weapons.

Followed closely by Cross Country and Recondo

I always wanted a Dreadnock thunder machine.

Liked the show and had a few of the early figures back in the day. Back when the Cobra Commander wasn't the guy with the full helmet and Scarlett didn't have the swivel arm battle grip. Joes got a remote control tank and small motorcycle. The HISS tank was their only target.

Worth a fortune now? Yes. I traded all of them for Transformers around '84. I think I did good on the trade because both my Optimus and Bluestreak are blue. Big Grin

Hasbro is relaunching the G.I. Joe brand with a new line. It’s cool that they did this to match.

Why does Barbie have black black and blue titties?

Because GI Joe has a kung-fu grip!

Does anyone remember one of the greatest toys ever made? The GI Joe aircraft carrier USS Flagg? A massive 7.5 foot long dream come true for all boys. Originally introduced in 1985 for a retail price of $110. Sadly, I was 17 then and considered "too old" for one. Well, if I could go back in time I'd buy it anyway, then pull it out of a box big enough for a refrigerator and play with it.

My first one was Snake Eyes in that first edition where the arms wouldn't rotate at the bicep they just bent at the elbow.

Life was so good in the 80s...the music, the movies, the cartoons, the president...

Yup! That was a big one! I bought it so I could trade it for a Fortress Maximus. I really didn't have room for either one, but at least Max could stand up on a shelf and have smaller Autobots scattered around. Getting the Flagg made me wish I hadn't traded off my other Joes, but at the time I had already made the deal.

The other one worth mentioning was Zartan. The profile card was changed really quick, but that one had all their panties in a bunch for months.

No I don’t remember that GI Joe cartoon movie because IT NEVER FUCKING EXISTED. That is All. Smile

The cartoon was fun but I was into the comic books and the toys.

If you want to see a really cool cartoon take on GI Joe look for GI Joe Resolute. It was awesome.

Also. GI Joe renegades wasn’t half bad.

And remember KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE!! The other half being unrelenting force of violence of course. Smile
