  • Back then these toys were aimed at American kids to help encourage them to have a good strong American pride and respect for the military, nowadays there's too much political correctness, even the "Real American Hero" theme was taken out of the newer toyline so that way some little Muslim kid's parents wont get offended and wont buy him the toys.

  • They are making new 12 inch GI Joes and selling them at target

  • REAL AND COOL TOYS :D ¡¡¡

  • GI Joe killed many Nazis !

  • Where is Cobra Commander?

  • @MissSleepyhed really now girls are going to destroy yes I said DESTROY our childhood? Come on already it's a toy. For instance barbies have unrealistic sized parts and tramps clothes. Where do you think little girls got the style from. What I'm saying is ya it is part of advertising but you know what GET A LIFE!

  • @UpbeatBoss8 lol what. "girls are going to destroy our childhood"? No. I didn't say that. Haven't you already grew passed your childhood? I could be mistakened (I don't know how old you are). I know it's a toy but for the last time, it's the advertisements message that concerns me.

  • @UpbeatBoss8 You have a good point of mentioning the problem of barbies and how they can be harmful to women (because of their unrealistic parts) who try to satisfy traditional feminine ideals. But that's another story...

    Ps: I have a life and so do you (clearly that was an understatement). Moving on now...

  • I wan it

  • I'm 52 I remember this when I was a kid.Bring back memories.By the the way I had GI Joe when I was a kid .Use to make up some nice battles with them GI Joe's.

  • When I was in the eleventh grade, our English teacher told us she bought her son G I Joe when he was a little boy in the 1960s

  • .... only G.I. Joe... is G.I. Joe... hmmm, ran out of ideas? In the 60's? There was nothing BUT ideas! wtf?

  • I had a black one that came with a life jacket.

  • "You'll have the greatest realism, the greatest FUN you ever had in playing SOLDIER"

    "Get G.I. Joe and G.I. Joe equipment so that you can SET UP exciting BATTLE ACTION when ever you want"

    These are the kind of words they instill in childrens head. Making fighting and battling (a.k.a war) seem fun when in reality, it's just a sad part of humanity. Going to battle is not exciting. War is not exciting. It all leads to death. This is typical male social reconstruction and it's still going on. Sadly

  • @MissSleepyhed

    Yet oddly enough I grew up playing with all these "violent" toys and yet the world really wasn't all that violent. Toys like this haven't been made in decades and the world is far more violent. So your beliefs are not accurate.

  • @MissSleepyhed Believe it or not, at one time our country was not so liberal and full of pansies. We had pride in our country. Nowadays-good luck. Everything is so politically correct. I'm so tired of tolerance because we have to tolerate everyones everything. War is a fact of life. And curiously, why are you even commenting on this commercial?

  • @mixeddmat I am referring to the advertisement and how most typical boy ads show boys being interested in violence. Have you ever noticed how most boy ads typically involve action, agression and violence? Compare boy ads to a girls ads. You'll never see a girl's ad that involves violence. It's this kind of social reconstruction that has been going on for many years until now. And it will never end because this is how companies get their money.

  • @mixeddmat Look up externalization and internalization in the media, if you're interested. You'll find out more of what I am talking about. Ps: What do you mean by war is a fact of life? Are you saying war created life or it's a PART of life?

  • @dontrollmeplz finally i get a comment, 1 year of waiting!

  • remember those toys well. not like the crap they have now, or the dumbass PC movie they made. pathetic.

  • back then most kids didnt have mountains and loads of gijoes in there room

  • @sportpepr509 that sucks why did you blow it up?

  • I wonder how many kids who playe d with GI Joes joined the military and are dead now.

  • go joess

  • Wish I wouldnt have blown mine up on the 4th of July a long time ago.

  • they were expensive as fuck when i was a kid.

  • yes turn gi joe into a fighting marine or a fighting navy seal with the army song playing in the background lol or am i the only one who noticed it

  • Those are dolls, no question about it.

  • Holy crap those figures are HUGE!

  • theses were toys not the new ones who are pieces of shit

  • was I the only one expecting the boy to say G.I. Joe rape the vietnamese lady!

  • GI JOE, ATTTTAACKKK

  • man why did they have to stop making these, hasbro should get back too buisness and continue making em

  • Gi Joe's job has been outsourced to "Black water Bob."

  • this is 1970s

  • LMAO, so back in the day G.I. Joe was more or less a boy's Barbie doll that he could dress up.

    Also got to ROF at the persuasion style of commercials back in the day.

  • Now these were toys. I had a huge collection of the "Adventure Team" era GI Joe from the '70's including the Mummy's Tomb, Pigmy Gorilla, "Dangers of the Depths" and the Adventure Team Headquarters and Training Center. You used your imagination with these toys. Remember "Kung Fu Grip"?

  • Hey Dick Cheney's first birthday present!!!!!

  • Where can I join the Navy Frog Men?

  • I used to have GI Joe go beat up Ken & take Barbie until I figured out it was more fun to have Barbie beat up Ken & take Barbie. I wonder what Freud would say about that?

  • does it come with the damn desert also???/

  • In 1964 GI Joe was still winning World War II and tied in Korea

  • fuckin hippies

  • I WANT ONE I WANT ONE I WANT ONNNNEEEE

  • ahhhh those were the days...... i still have my gi joe do you?

  • i want that its better than toys now

  • why did GI joe change to this futuristic shit

  • @xXKxTrainsXx yeah i know Right?

  • @xXKxTrainsXx Damn straight.

  • @xXKxTrainsXx thats sooooooooo true :(

  • @xXKxTrainsXx Because that's what the kiddies like.

  • @xXKxTrainsXx i agree it was better when it was like this

  • @xXKxTrainsXx Dude, you are so RIGHT! What they offer today is crap that looks so cheap.

  • GO JOE

  • The fuck?! Even their GIJOES are better than todays... -.-"

  • This was when they made real toys, not this liberal fucking faggot shit. Now it is green eco shit and faggot dolls fucking each other with power queer dildo accessories, fucking faggot bitches. It should be fucking real GIJOE fucking barbie in her ass and having big dick power grip cocks hanging low and guns to fucking kill liberals and faggots, have action sets where GIJOE rapes women and shoots fucking niggers, and wetbacks. And seal the border action set, where TEAParty Joe murders democrats.

  • @jpatrickbad I couldn't agree with you more. This political correctness crap that has taken over what used to be the greatest country in the world has turned it into a bunch of pansies like Europe is now.

  • I like Big Jim better

  • BADASS! why arent they like that now!!! PLASTIC GARBAGE!

  • Typical American propaganda for the kids to become super heroes to save the corporations wealth, hmmmm sorry nation. The funny thing is , that the parents pay for their childrens' brainwashing games.

  • @mcamoran LMAO shut up scrub.

  • @cha05kn1ght I see you respect the freedom of speech!!! Is this the american democracy?

  • @mcamoran I respect your freedom of speech. Resect my right to call you a scrub. XD

  • @mcamoran Yeah now we have faggot toys where kids get dildo accessories so people like you canlearn to take it up your faggoty ass like a nigger. Fuck you bitch real men shoot guns and kill, and rape bitches and shit on faggots and kill fucking cunts like you. We need JOE to come back and seal the border and deport niggers, faggots, liberals, democrats, muslims, mexicans, chinks and have GIJOE team up with battle action Hitler and free America from faggots like you, you fucking degenrate fuck.

  • @jpatrickbad hahahahahahahahah you Americans are pathetic!! hahahahahaah Get your children educated by spider man , superman , GIJOE and TV.....what a wonderful "nation".

  • @mcamoran Go fuck yourself....

  • @melh07302 hahahahahahahaahahaahahahahaha­hahahaha

  • @mcamoran greeks are the biggest f*cking trolls since the invention of the internet

  • @jpatrickbad the indians should deport your race, and take back their land and scalp white assholes like you

  • @Kaisertoji Pay no attention to the troll. He is simply feeding.

  • @jpatrickbad dude i subed to you and thumbs up to you, thats EXALTY what i think

  • @jpatrickbad WOW that rant was awesome.but you sound like a democrat impersonating a republican.i think you over did it when you mentioned hitler.

  • @SuperEvilSquid they were UDT's (Underwater Demolition Teams) but i dont think they went into combat with all that stuff just a knife and some C4 and a mask...

  • I remember this ad. At age 7, I got a GI Joe, in 1964. I still have it (somewhat banged up). I've thought about restoring it. It was a great toy. You could go broke though, buying all the accessories.

  • GI Joe lost his package from a bouncing betty in the Nam.

    Ken lost his from a Swedish scalpel.

  • i didnt grow up in this era but i heard from my mom if your brother had a GI Joe no need for a ken doll.

  • here is my gi joe 12 inch theme song! "Gi joe! gi joe! fighting man from head to toe! on the land! on the sea! in the air! We will kill! we will fight for all thats right! Gi joe goes rolling along! If its Hi! Hi! hee! gi joe is going over sea! He is going to battle you see! For where e'er he goes you will always know gi joe goes rolling along!

  • some body has to put that song itunes

  • xD pretty cool^^

  • @MrTechnoxyz i know!

  • cool

  • This was the only REAL GI Joe. He was my "Battle Buddy" because I would get one after every agonizing trip to the doctor. A few years ago they came out with small, cheaply made ones but those of us who remember the originals wouldn't stand for it. Then they made true to the originals remakes but very expensive.

    My sister would complain to my mother that I wouldn't play with her so my GI Joe took her Tressy & Barbie on dates (swinging them by their hair & flinging them into trees, etc.) Those w

  • Is that an original GI Joe?

  • @JeagerEX Yes! It is!

  • Comment removed

  • How many of you kids, when you got to sixth grade and lost interest in your GI-Joe's, had the final battle and shot up your toys with bb guns, sparkler flame throwers, and Blackcat motar shell's? I did. That is why I don't have any GI-Joe collection to sell or trade today.

    Stupid kids! :)

  • I like the 1960s G.I joes the best

  • GI Joe used to have realistic soldiers, now they're crazy unrealistic mercs who have an odd dress code.

  • @denispIeiadian You don't like the chinese GI-Joe's they sell today? I purchased a chinese GI-Joe for my son and it was an Asian kid armed with a computer who was outsourcing his service to Blackwater.

  • @ChicagoJoe57 I've never seen one. Most of the GI joe are fake mercs who fight against cobra.

  • im only 11 so i wish there were such thing as a time machine so i could get some

  • @dbzfan230 there is it's called EBAY !

  • @dbzfan230 If you had a time machine and twenty bucks, you could go back to the sixties and be the richest kid in the neighborhood.

  • I remember this. Thanks.

  • now gi joe sucks hes like this super hero type nothin like the original

  • Imagine how much these would cost today

  • Kicks butt, slugging it out with Charlie !!!!!

  • For some reason when the boy screams "Terrific Battle!" ..I suddenly want one! xD

  • G.I. JOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

    The True American Hero!

  • 1960s and theyre decked out in ww2 gear. They certainly won't get very far fighting man head to toe with that outdated shit!

  • @abraxx312 Not if they're fighting nazis! hahaha

  • idk i've had alot of fun playing solider...

  • My 1964 G.I. Joe beat the crap out of Kent, stole Barbie, had 3 kids and left her.

  • @JEDIALADDIN: My sister had the Divorce Barbie: She came with all of Ken's stuff!

  • @JEDIALADDIN lol......i have like ten of these and they OWN but now GI JOE is all fucked up duke? Snake eyes? STUPID these are just so much better....

  • @JEDIALADDIN HAHAHA

  • The old stuff is awesome, with the gearpacks, we don't have that anymore, if you wanted another costume you had to buy 2 different figures, my dad was a green beret and he got an old green beret Joe with a M16, Colt pistol, combat phone, and green beret medals.

  • @Richtofer556 Cool man :) I was born in the 90's and I still have all my Joes in a closet. I have some cool stuff, but when my dad was a kid he and some of the stuff that is worth a lot now. But they all got sold at a garage sale a long time ago :( I have a box filled with all kinds of guns and stuff and I even have a jeep :) Ah memories.

  • older was better back when violence was normal now its all unrealistic and "child safe"

  • @skinnyman1423 Yeah, cartoon and toy violence never made anyone crazy. They just need something to blame for the nut jobs.

  • GI Joe kicked butt!

  • the old gi is better than todays gi joe

  • the kid in the beggining looks funny

  • Joe ruled, that's all there is to it. Every Christmas, my Grandmother used to hook me up with all the coolest G.I. Joe stuff. (RIP Nana - 1/31/73) I liked Captain Action, Action Jackson and Big Jim, but Joe was a bigger part of my life. Besides, I don't think they have Captain Action or Big Jim collectors conventions anywhere, do they? You can get them at conventions, but no conventions exclusively for them exist, or am I wrong?

  • Gi joe used to date my Barbie--cause Ken was a draft dodger!!!!

  • @TheChiwhiz A boy's first porno - G.I. Joe nailing Barbie. That "Kung Fu" grip came in handy with her, didn't it?

  • super classic commercial!

  • GI JOE IS BEAST

  • "remember on GI JOE, is GI JOE" What's that mean? 0:55

  • i love this gi joe gi joe fighting man to head to toe awsome i love 12 inch gi joes

  • The vintage stuff is still the best for me, I figured out that if i replaced all the stuff I had as a kid, it would cost about $16,ooo and not all mint !!!! greatest toy ever!

  • Now these were toys worth the money and time! Used to set up battle scenes and have a blast. (no pun intended). Remember the deep sea diving set? That set was just COOL as hell! How about the soldiers of the world...German Storm Trooper, Japanese Soldier, Russian Soldier, British Soldier, Austrailian Jungle Fighter, and I think a French Soldier. The uniforms and equipment were so realistic it was just unreal.

  • ..that fucking Camo is awesome, it looks like Nazi Tropical camo...making it more awesome

  • These are way better than todays G.I. Joes. They have clothes!

  • those kids are badass!

  • today's toys are worse than these..

  • I will see u in JoeCon 2010

    (hope they sell 12 inch figures like this again thumb up if u agree)

  • @kjstewart77 im soory kjstewart but hasbro will probably never sell these again :( they just don't sell like the used to and its not popular with kids anymore

  • Hahahahaha XD XD XD XD

    G.I, Joe is hot! BOOM BOOM!

  • Today's gi joes and radical productions3 are both retarded!! But this vintage video and 60's and 70's gi joes are the shit baby!!!

  • todays g.i joes are so retarted

  • @mastercheif892 now they have a g.i joe Justin Beiber, with real cock sucking action!

  • @Gooddog2898 not to mention the ready to fuck asshole.

  • Great memorabilia. In Puerto Rico there is a GI Joe Club, making presentations around the island in Malls and on Veterans Celebrations. My favorites are 1964-70 Medical Teams.

  • Great memorabilia. I got around 30 1964-70 GI Joe Action Figures. I'm a member of the GI Joe Club since 1970's. In Puerto Rico there is a big club too. We make special presentations (dioramas) everymonth in different Malls. GI Joe still alive...

  • gi joes suck now lol i dont play wit them but they suck

  • I still remember those commercials, and getting my first GI Joe way back in the 60s. The ones my son played with in the 80s were not nearly as durable or versatile. Among my brothers and my friends, the Deep Sea Diver suit was coveted the most.

  • wow, the GI Joe of 1970's had muscles, biceps and a hairy face, GI joes of 1960s seem more mature looking

  • I wish I could have grown up when G.I. Joes were still cool. The stuff they have today is shit!!

  • I have one question. What if you sent a 12 inch GI Joe figure into the water?

  • who thinks the kid on the ad is creepy?

  • i do whats up with their fruity hair?

  • @BJStudios67

    i know u can tell its a script

  • @spikey1957  that is the 1960's smart one

  • @BJStudios67 Who? the kids or the Gi joes ?

  • GI Joe Nuclear task squad collection!

  • ah~

    gotta love the Cold War and the military mind set it placed on children

    wish i had this for my paper

    X-\

  • I had all sorts of GI Joes as a kid - the Japenese, German and American Joes along with the Space Capsule set

  • To bad gi joes are pieces of crap now
