Does anybody Shine Patrol the unit that had all vehicles and planes painted chrome? I haven't been able to find that commercial on youtube yet those awesome looking to.
@sserpent21 SKY PATROL ! ! THERE YOU GO I had the name wrong yea that's it ! ! Darn it yea still can't find any but I remember there were commerials for that line.
@daiatlus79 Amen. Man how I wish I was stuck in a Time Continuium back in the '80's. The Best Time To Be A Kid. Period. Sigh. I feel sorry for the youth of today...
I had the air plane, my mom had to help me to assemble it, but with a lot of glue and patience everything is possible, and came with free camouflage paint for the face that rocked.
Brilliant marketing. Just use the same molds and give a different paint job to the toys kids already own and rake in the cash. Good thing that Transofrmers never did that...oh, wait.
Back then I just couldn't get into Tiger Force and Python Patrol for some reason. I wanted the original stuff even if it wasn't in stores anymore. Now though, I have the rereleased Python Patrol X-30 from Target.
They did, it was called Python Patrol. The Cobra Conquest X-30 was the result. What Hasbro was doing was simply recoloring and recasting existing toy molds as a cost-cutting measure. They did this again with a line called Nightforce that was made for Toys R Us. I have to admit that I actually liked some of the recolors better than the originals.
dude, i wanna meet the guy they had singing the songs in the commercials. they were so bad!! haha. i also love how the tiger looks possessed when it jumps on the vehicle. man, i love the 80s! haha

"Johnson how can sell all our old toys from 1984 ?"
" Mr. Hasbro sir I have a great idea we will just repaint the toys we have in stock with "Tiger Paint" Never mind the kids have the exact same toys in regular camo, Tiger paint is the way to go."
" Excellent Johnson I see a promotion in your future."
Blizzard? You must be from the UK. We got Frostbite (and had to come up with some excuse for *where* he could drive a P. Yellow snow half-track). I think having some of the most famous Joes from the cartoon back on toy store pegs made us overlook a lot.
Since I got into Joe too late to get the 1st Duke and Roadblock, I was thinking:
"Duke! Roadblock! Flint! a new Rattler! woohoo!!!!"
g.i joe finally admitted destro supplied cobra with the coolest weapons and vehicles, lol. anywho, i'm shocked they didn't release more of that line for the 25th anniversary.
Well I loved the TF. Unfortunately I live in a country where you actually dont find them at large. they were all precious pieces of art to me. except for tripwire. I remember buying his figure in dozens and turned them all to cobra soldiers by unpainting him and ironing the face.
I LOVED Tiger Force (yes, it did come out in 1988). In addition to re-releasing figures of some of my favorite Joes - who by that time had ben discontinued - they were given a pretty cool new color scheme. I still have my Duke and Flint. I recall having also Dusty and the guy with the little bazooka, I can't recall his name now. Also the Tiger Rat plane shown in the commercal.
Yes. This was released in 1988 not 1992. Notice how Dusty yells "Duke is back!". Duke was seriously injured in 1987's G.I. Joe the Movie. His battle with Serpentor left him in a coma. At the end of the movie it was revealed that he would recover. This clip shows that he made his return to duty a year later in 1988.
as the story goes, Duke actually died. but once hasbro saw how badly optimus prime's death was taken they edited in a quick fix for duke. i believe at the end of the movie you see duke's face in the clouds (ie in remembrance.)

Was the US military in such disarray back in the 1980's, that they were forced to re-use captured enemy equipment?
Cobra, if anyone, should've had more repainted Joe vehicles. Could you imagine a repainted Cobra Flagg, Skystriker, Dragonfly, Tomahawk, & Mauler?
