This video review of the G.I. Joe Armadillo, it's so cool, compact and much playable. I have one complete in good condition and it's really good in my collection of Vintage G.I. Joe toys. Thumbs up for the review.

I traded some baseball cards to a friend when I was a kid for one of these. It was always one of my go to vehicles one of my favorites.

I loved this little tank when i was a kid. Mostly because it would roll well

Super Excited about Cobra Months! Man, going back through your videos really makes me sad that I missed out on your journey from the beginning.

I love that the Joe sits deep into The Armadillo. That was a nice touch.

wow this brings back some memories for me i used mine as a mobile antiaircraft gun

Although I never had this one, I like it! Instead I had a couple of one man mini tanks that my dad made out of wood. I played with those quite a bit!

Thanks for the review! I never had this as a kid and while watching your video, I hopped on ebay and picked one up for $13. Can't wait for it to arrive so I can put a Marauders Gun Runners figure into it. I think my next search will be for the Cobra Ferret I have some custom Tomax and Xamot figures who'd look awesome on it! 😎👍

I'm looking to pick this up for about 20 dollars or so on ebay. Neat little vehicle. I really like it.

I would love to see a GI Joe Mauler review

I wasn't really into Joe vehicles as much as I was Cobra, but I really loved the Armadillo.

awesome lil tank. if i ever get back into collecting...one of the first things i would get. i dun mind the smaller toys because in alot of ways...it fits what the joes were....fast response specialized teams. Small and fast was just as important as the larger more destructive units as well.

[antiquariancrafts]

This inspired me to get one. Got a good deal on a boxed example. It's cool.

I had this vehicle and loved it! Hasbro should just re release all the old joe and cobra figures and vehicles and that's it! I remember I preferred Barbeque as it's driver for some strange reason...

[christianhafer]

I got this vehicle shortly after I posted my comment, I should imagine, and I'm glad you like it, but shouldn't begrudge it for not having very many features. Not everything has to be the Rolling Thunder, or the Killer Whale, or whatever. This is a Top tier vehicle because of it's simplicity. I adore it. Probably a Top 10 vehicle for me.

When I was young none of my vehicles ever ran out of gas or my weapons run out of ammo, I must have gotten the Hollywood editions. ;)

[garyvallone]

I had this as a kid. Took it to the beach. The waves took it and i saw for a second in the water and it was gone.

[TheDarthvalen]

Where those he gets does wonderful toys lol

[palpatine]

Love your review on armadillo.. I'll be picking one up soon... I love the collage poster at the back... Where did u acquire it if I may ask? Cheers! 👍

The M50 Ontos could have been an inspiration for the Armadillo. This definitely seems to be the case with the Slaughter's Marauders version.
