This is awesome! I love the part when you remove his boot according to instructions. Many other funny and instructive scenes. I was 7 when I got my first GI Joe, in 1968. I bought it with a 5-dollar bill my grandmother sent me for my 7th birthday, and I got change back from that $5. : D

When Christmas of 1964 came around I got my first GI Joe. Sometimes I wish I still had it today along with the foot locker and the other accessories. I also remember joining the GI Joe fan club, getting an iron on patch which my mom ironed on a t-shirt then also getting a set of dog takes to go with it and the certificate saying I'm in the fan club. Those were the days still wish I had all that stuff. 👍🇺🇸☮️

I grew up in a home that me and my Joe would go on adventure after adventure. Joes were and are for me bigger then a action figure. They are part of me and 1 of the best parts. I look at my Joe, which I have and I smile and remember good times. And sadly a lot of people these days really need that. They have never made a great action figure like Joe and I am damm proud to have been in that generation. Your points are more then valid and I agree, thanks for the time travel it made me go get Joe off my shelf and remember. Everybody be safe and take care see you on the next adventure...

Thanks for this one! My brother and cousins had the Joes from the late 60s/early 70s...Uncle had the original line. We girls used to borrow them...they made better dates for our Barbies!

Great review! My brother and I got some of the 12 inch G.I. Joe's during the late 70's. I had the yellow hair action solder and my brother had the Land Adventure. We also collected the Fisher Price Adventure People and then RAH G.I. Joe. During the years I always liked the 12 inch Joe's and wanted them. Guess that's why I collect them today. I have 2 of those footlockers I did a review of them on my channel.

[SylentEcho]

I grew up obsessed with the '80s line, but I don't think they hold a candle to these old ones.

[joshbenson]

My uncle gave me lots of GI Joe figures when I was little I wish I still had the 1964 one he gave me

[Timkasa]

Great Review. I hope G.I. Joe never dies. thanks for taking the time and doing this. I feel the same way as you do when it comes down to GI Joe for the next generation.

[impacking]

As someone who had Joes in both the 70s and early 80s, I can truly appreciate the love that you put into this video. HCC788 for Pres. 👍🏾

[dhamilton]

Smart...very well done! Mission Accomplished!

[witheredmedia]

never really delved into classic gi joe before, this is cool! not something i would collect but i remember my dad talking about having this kind of stuff as a kid

[phuchuebuddy]

Holy Moly I still have that foot locker, I've used it as a tool box for 50 years

[ArashikageNinjaClan]

Nice review of the 1964 G.I. jOE and acknowledging the kids of that era making G.I. jOE a success so that your generation could enjoy G.I. jOE and maybe some incarnation of G.I. jOE for future generations!

[MrTy]

When he took of the boot and his foot came off in the boot, that right there brought back a flood of memories as a kid!

[funker]

I grew up in the 70s in RI, birth place of Gi Joe. We had friends with relatives that worked in Pawtucket for Hasbro. Adventure Team GI Joes everywhere in my neighborhood. There wasn’t a boy to be found that didn’t have one. GI Joe was the greatest toy of my childhood.

[chrisnwi]

This had to be one of the coolest videos you have done. Though most of us who watch your channel are 80's kids everyone of us knows where our roots come from. and I really liked how you talked about the future of the brand and you made great points. Again excellent review of legendary toy.

[smeyely]

I just got into gi joe, mustve been sick getting this figure back in the 70's🔥🔥🔥🔥

[JoeMotionVideos]

Great review!! I remember playing with the 12" joes. My brothers had the yellow 6x6 vehicle and the fuzzy head joes. You made a very good point, about GI Joe, pioneering the way future action figures would articulate, thanks for the memories.

[MadisonCarter]

I've always found it interesting how Hasbro ended up going down the exact same path twice with the brand as it started to peter out. Both the original line and the 80s line had to resort to a cyborg (Mike Powers/Robo-Joe), aliens (The Intruders/Star Brigade) and a slight rebranding with scale change (Super Joe/Sgt Savage) as things wound down the final year or two.

[OgaugeTrainsplusslotCars]

Brilliantly well Done. Brings back memories 👍♐️
