My Vintage Cobra, Dreadnok and Iron Grenadier Figure Collection (1982 to 1993) 

That Hawaiian shirt dude is a Fred model.

That dudes name is chuckles and he is undercover for the joes

I found my Storm Shadow at an Osco Drug when I was a kid after countless trips to actual toy stores trying to find him. What a glorious day that was! Thanks for showing all your figures quite a few I haven't seen in many years.

I always thought Major Bludd’s arm wasn’t posable because it was cybernetic in his back story.

This was a great trip down memory lane. Had a bunch of these as a kid, unfortunately the only if my G.I. Joe figures that managed to stick around was my original Destro and Ken from street fighter for some reason?

Michael, those look great. I've often considered doing the layering thing you showed in a previous video; to better showcase my Joe figures on the shelf. My collection runs from 1982 - 1988, but I still like seeing some of the post '88 stuff. I think the Hydro Vipers were indeed genetically engineered, if I'm recalling the file card correctly.

what an amazing toy line this was. So much fun playing with these guys back then

I have 2 of each of the o ring 2 packs from Hasbro, one set opened, the others mint on card hanging on my walls as decor. As for the o-rings that come with the Transformers toys that become G.I. Joe vehicles, they are mint on card Baroness, Stalker, Zartan, and Zarana. Modern figures can fit in Megatron and Bumblebee in their vehicle modes. As for Soundwave, modern figures can't fit, but I bought vintage Thrasher and Monkey Wrench at a local toy store and put them inside the seats.

who is the bald guy with mustache and cape i have him too forgot his name love this channel alotttt awesome content

The blonde-haired figure between Dr. Mindbender and the Techno Viper is a G.I. Joe named Chuckles; he was introduced into the line as part of the new characters brought in during G.I. Joe The Movie along with Falcon, Jinx, Tunnel Rat, Big Lob, and Law & Order.

I watched this video several days ago, and of course I've watched all your other GI Joe content... and then I found the episodes of the show here on YT. I started watching them and I really was amused by it as I remembered the series and toys from my childhood. I still recall doing chores for my grandmother for quarters so I could save up to buy another Joe and the fun back yard battles that helped me get through some bad times as a kid. And then I realized that I'm not having fun anymore. Work and life can really grind sometimes... so for the first time in probably 30 years I bought some Joes. I ordered some that I remember liking as a child: Leatherneck, Ripcord and a Crimson Guard. You inspired me to begin collecting them and having fun again. It's never too late to just embrace something that you like and spend some of that hard-earned cash on things that make you feel good. Thanks for the wholesome videos, and Yo Joe!

Croc Master’s Crocodile 🐊 was named Fiona. Fantastic video Micheal. Love the shout out for Peter Joe. Great guy who has awesome figures

Great vid. When I was a kid my collection of figures was around 110? I decided to keep them and sell them when I got older. In 2011, i sold the complete collection, figures, weapons, cards, vehicles. To this day, I regret selling them because it would be great to display them so nicely like you did.

Nice, collections , love your action figures, Do you ever clean them up, seeing it opened display , I ,myself collect minion figures, i cleaned them every week , spends couple hours cleaning them and the room.,, I recently purchased the new release 2024 fright features series in my local toysrus and bought the ecto 1 in a different location , had peter and ray when 7 yrs old in 1987 ,, i was so happy to see them re release them again, if you read my message here, I would love to see if you have the Large size Gi Joe figures and the COPS the animated figures, on your next videos ,, thanks

Love this video!! 💥👍

Awesome cobra figures nice to see some that I missed when I had my own gijoes.

I need an in-depth dive into the Iron Grenadiers. Especially that monster of a vehicle behind your figures.

I love your videos, keep up the good work!

Another great vid bro!

Great Michael Mercy!💪🏼

The Dreadknots should of had a water guy. So let me introduce you to ... Coadname: Hopfrog Real Name: Edward Allen Croaksworth. Primary Specialist: Aquatic Demolition and Sabatage. Hopfrog is a huge Poe fan, andcan resite various poems and stories from memory. He has a hunched back, and actually loves the water and is an expert swimmer. Unusual Dreadknock Weapons: Explosive shaped like a frog and an explosive launcher gun. Knife in belt. Flippers. Snorkel mask. Octopus Darkness Bomb (a grenade which mimics an octopus ' ink cloud.)

I can't explain why this is so relaxing 😆 🤷‍♂️ Played it again in the background whilst I did today's paperwork, fantastic 👍 I'd LOVE if you could do this style of vid more, with any and all toylines!! Toxic, visionaries, maybe some rare little-known ones, etc etc. Anyhoo, whatever you do, loving your channel! Keep up the awesomeness 😊 Much love from the UK 🇬🇧 ❤️

Dude, awesome. Been waiting for this since that fantastic Joe (good guys, I mean) video you did. Outstanding collection.

Amazing collection! Thanks for sharing Michael!

Really nice Cobra walkthrough :) I have just gone through all my figs to shoot new photos for my website (roughly 2500 shots) and its always fun to go through each one and everyone and remembering how I either played with it as a kid or how I got it as a collector :)

Neat.

Excellent video Michael like always much blessings for you and family

U rock bro!!! 🍻😎👍…Mississauga 78!!!

The Hawaiian shirt GI-JOE is chuckles

Wow impressive collection love the way you use shelves just like in stores wish I had more room in my appartment to do something similar. Thanks for sharing

aw yeah cobraaaaaaaa

Awesome videos I have a pretty big collection of G.I. Joe to

Nice review Mike, Xamot has the scar, and is left-handed, Tomax is right-handed, and has no scar, bye the way, you have a rare variant, almost all the Crimson twins, have Xamot with a pink scar, you have a rare red scar!🤔👍🏾

Impressive.

Another great video! Love watching your vintage Joe's videos keep em coming Question? What display stands do you use? Any recommendations? YO JOE!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Chuckles in the Hawaiian shirt definitely Gijoe

I enjoyed the video, thanks, but it's also another demonstration of how badly this line declined in the 90s. Even as kids here in Australia we were appalled at some of the stuff that got put out in the 92-94 period. Also, I think the 1988 Destro is pretty clearly the best version of that figure, and would be pushing for inclusion in my top 10 Cobra figures.

Yeah, that Major Bludd with the non articulated arm always bugged me as a kid.

* in booming baritone voice * MI-CHAEL-LALALALALALALALALALALA! Mercy. :)

Awesome bud bro and where’s did u get the stands for the joes?

I blame Michael for getting me into those Aliens HIYA toys. I recently went all in and bought the APC, some alien warriors….the Queen….some eggs…..some Marines….anyways, thanks a lot ;). What do you think about HIYA releasing 3 3/4 GI Joes this year? I might have to have put a Firefly in that APC with Hicks and Hudson. Later Buddy!!

You got a different headsculpt for your Zarana.

You can fix the bent gun by blowing it with a hair drier and then straighten it out under freezing cold water.

I used to think Monkeywrench's weapon represented blades that would spin.

The guy in the Hawaiian shirt is chuckles a private investigator. He is a GI Joe

I really wish those tele vipers would knock it off

Was the way you said “nin-ja” after Storm Shadow a reference to “Ask a Ninja”? If so, that’s a deep cut. Either way I must now rewatch those. :)

That Aero Viper looks like Steven Seagal 😂

I named Croc Master's crocodile Lucille 😆

How is it possible the rubber bands didn't dry out on your figures?

How did you not know that guy was Chuckles? The G.I. Joe Undercover guy. That said, He sucked so...

That is a lot of snake,s
