G. I. Joe Commercial - Tomax & Xamot

[TheTVTastic]

I got two Tomax's in my package. Was not pleased.

[Looseey1973]

thats so cool

[chibicelchan]

So um... no, in fact, GI Joe did not stop them. So they totally won. COBRAAAA!

[HeavenWolf108]

They know each other's feel.

[xasthur502]

lol it seems a lot of people wanted them so bad but never got them. they were probably the ones i wanted the most. ill never forget the day, i was probably like 7. my mom wouldnt get them forme and said i could get stupid Flint instead. fuck that noise. ever since that day i hated Flint. i finally traded for them one day and was blown away that they came with a zipline and sweet weapons. i miss being a kid. facebook. pfffft. i had Zartan. what.

[Originalman320]

@TG1980 Jackson Beck was best remembered for being the narrator of the old Superman radio show. He also narrated the Superman cartoon from the 1960's.

[TRE1275]

Why is Cobra at the circus? 80's toons had some cool designs but they were dumb as shit.

[steveamerica29]

Some of you may not know this but Tomax and Xamot are real people.

[Smarttamarr94]

@steveamerica29 Prove it

[julioabruno2254]

I begged my dad to get them for me :(

And guess what? He never did :(

[jeremyschultz1]

I remember they came on this oversized card with mirrors on the side. I wish I had kept the packaging for my GI Joes, even if they were opened.

[HansCent]

Coobrraaa!!

[jogu78]

[JeffroTV]

@jogu78 Hey! so you were the one who stole my twins! lol.

[mrjonz72]

@jogu78 lmao...I know its wrong what u did but I couldn't help busting out laughing reading that.

[warren197237]

this is one of the original commercials...brings back memories!

[Xamot1980]

The leaders of the crimson guard. It just didnt get any cooler than that.

[tjcurrie]

I remember getting the twins for my bday when I was like 8. The god ol days.

[PacifistSkullCrusher]

@TG1980 Thanks a alot.

[PacifistSkullCrusher]

Anyone know the name of the voiceover announcer?

[carnut015]

Twins with names that are the reverse of each other's - what wont they think up next! (insert heavy dose of sarcasm throughout)

[Vazcular]

Golden age of toys.

[nonh1]

@Vazcular Indeed

[lamont2nd]

I owned the original twins in the late 80's, but over time I lost one and don't know what happened to the other! I recently saw them being sold at a flea market along with several other joes from the time, and scooped those bad boys up!

[Fant0m3]

When the mini tank was after the cobra ferret with the twins on it the tank wouldnt go faster then 30 km/ph and the ferret went over 70km/ph. and the twins had an accident and tomax decapitaded his bro through an dessert plant and thats why he left cobra and is know running an hardware shop in north carolina.

[rickygervais1776]

If I ever have twins I don't need to tell you what their names will be. God help them if they are girls.

[dcorelone]

Tomax: "ARGGH!!!"

Cobra Commander: "whats wrong?!"

Tomax: "my twin brother is jackin off!"

Cobra Commander: "How do you know?!"

Tomax: (while jackin off)"I KNOW!"

[danielharmonizer]

Wait. All of those are prototypes! I looked for this version of the twins forever, and couldn't find them. .And Dusty looking really camo'ed up? And that dang ATV! The cartoon abused that ATV, as many times as they showed it. I always thought it was the Dreadnoks....

[SOLACEBOY]

I still have them and the atv.

[Cacti88]

what a gimmic, sell the same figure two times.

[dmace81]

I don't think the announcer talks fast enough. Love the zoom in on the shitty dusty figure when it says with the GI joe minitank, with the gi joe mini tank, with the gi joe minitank.

[reanimate280]

kotex and tampax... huh?

[toys2cool]

dam those prototypes look better then the ones released

[raisenero]

I believe these were the first G.I. Joe toys I ever had. I distinctly recall losing the grappling hook the first night.

[SonicPAJ]

They re-used the ArbCo name in the GI Joe vs. Transformers comic. (ArbCo is the circus name)

[1999taken]

i got then still

[229095]

God, the names Tomax and Xamot sound like prescription medications!

[shootbinary]

@229095 It's because there are two very similar medication names...Topamax and Xanax.

[AirborneSoviet]

@229095 very true

[besito00]

@229095 EVIL prescription medicatios. with terrible side effects ..... drowsiness, lost of appetite and DEATH.

[chevysal70]

LOL the singer sounds like he's on a booze & coke binge!

[kymberleanneizdro]

they look odd

[schizotugger81]

dam that dusty look awful 0:23

[ghettobeats]

I had one of the twins, they were called the Crimson Twins, I also had Sidekick and Snake Eyes.

[worminator82]

quick kick?

[ghettobeats]

oh yeah Quick Kick, the bare foot shirtless Chinese guy.

[NYCPulpHero]

japanese and korean, dumbass

[ghettobeats]

ok, thanks dickhead.

[AirborneSoviet]

@ghettobeats hes japanese

[wingchundragon]

AAGGHHH!!! AS a twin myself I begged my mom to get me these and this was one of the greatest gi joes I've ever had...next to storm shadow and Kung Fu

[vigo894]

The ATV was cool.

[carebayers]

I can't believe they wrote original music for these commercials!

[emachines007]

there awsome! i love the old versions of tamox and xomat

[sacrificaltotem]

ah yes the leaders of the crimson guard the elite forces of cobra and body guards to cobra commander

[TakaraKing]

The prototype Dusty looked REALLY bad !

[worminator82]

i was wondering who that was driving. he looks terrible
