We applaud you for your 1964 GI Joe Action Soldier review in honor of the original toy GIjOE action figure turning 50 years old in 2014. The fade out of color and into black n white was good. Definitely will check out the rest of your video looking at the combat gear on your other HD channel.
This really is great to see a 50 year old figure still more or less functional. I stopped collecting 3.75" Joes so I could continue with my 12" military figures (non-GI Joe). The newer figures are incredibly detailed and realistic, with sliding actions on the pistols and rifles, and even cloth ammo pouches containing additional magazines! Still, they owe everything to these first figures, and I tip my hat to you sir! Great review!
Fantastic review, great to see you give 12" gijoe a look, I have about 10 of the reproduction versions of the original myself, there so iconic as the first true action figure and as you pointed out, still hold up and out articulate most modern action figures:D
formbx257 Hey Kevin awsome review and great figure, I would highly suggest you get the other 3 figures and review them. My personal favorites is the forward observer set, green beret machine gun outpost set, and my all time favorite is the navy frogman outfit/set. If you decide to buy and review any of these you can just get the timeless collection versions of these sets because they will be cheaper and you get all the accessories that would have came in the original set. I really hope you review these in the future!!!!
GI JOE FOI O BRINQUEDO MAIS PERFEITO E COMPLETO DE TODOS OS TEMPOS!!! FOI O MARCO INICIAL DAS FIGURAS DE AÇÃO!!! PARA MIM ELE É O ÚNICO, O SINGULAR!!!! PARABÉNS , DON LEVINE POR TER UMA IDÉIA TÃO INCRÍVEL!!!!
Funny to say it, but 1:6 scale bodies haven't really advanced too much since this 1964 design(I'll exclude those junk 5 POA doll bodies Hasbro used in the early 90s for the "Hall Of Fame" 12" line). A bit of extra movement here and there, maybe better sculpted details, but overall they really hit perfection back then.
