Imagine Grant Munro’s dismay when he received the following letter: “I saw your film entitled ‘Toys’ on Channel 10, December 28, 1971. Where did you get those marvelous war toys? My children are now so disappointed in their Christmas presents. The gifts they received can’t compete with the great creations you employed. Please advise me of where you purchased these ingenious war toys. Birthdays are coming and I do want to get some."
There is a message to this film but I saw it when I was a young boy in public school (and I owned several GI Joes), to me it was cool seeing the GI Joes moving. The anti war message was lost on me.
It was lost on many people.

Believe me, once you see this film you will NEVER look at the original 12" versions of GI Joe the same way.
