Adventure Team - Bulletman TV commercial

[Teletran35]

I used to have this figure

[SardaukarPrime]

My older brother had one of these. Dear Ord,does that look awful today...

[mrpotatohead34]

no offense to you, but your generation has way more imagination then with kids today

[BENTLEYQUEMP]

LMAO....."bulletman"....wtf was the thimble for?......bulletman....lol..mo­re like shitman.

[Revmostrite]

Wow i had this ! Bullet man! i loved this Joe-alas i destroyed at least 2 of them--far too young to appreciate it : ( -lol

[glasscitadel12]

i really wanted one when i was a kid.

[Wheeljack35]

I use to have Bullet man..Imagine trying to sell this idea know?

[bjggjb]

@Wheeljack35 The way things are going, by the year 2020 maybe they'll have the "Rubberman the Human Condom?"

[terrapinbear]

Thimble sold separately.

[BeachBum2OO7]

haha i had this, i remember the stupid brown nylon line it came with was too short, and getting fishing line from a neighbor. Also the silver paint on the helmet and his arms flaked off pretty quick. We used to put Bullet Man head to head with Smash Up derby lol

[pandapimpbabys]

BULLET MAN THE HUMAN BULLET

[erschmid1]

yes..I had bulletman , got him for my birthday . one of my favorite toys , besides the bionic man doll with the crystal radio backpack.

[mrmoore1970]

Awesome! I wanted one as a kid and I still want one at 39! Bulletman with Fly-Away action, how cool was that?!

[BillyKnockout]

That G.I. Joe is up to somethin' !

[testodude]

he looks like he's trying to score some crack.

[BillyKnockout]

@testodude They better check him in good in airport screening . You see how he was looking around all shifty ?

[HorusRising]

Remember Pulsar???

[Skot4God]

YES! My cousin had that in 2nd grade and i loved it! he later gave me the headless body. Well, thanks to eBay, i have him!

I have ALWAYS wanted BULLET MAN!

[HorusRising]

Headless Pulsar??? LOL.....scary imagery (very headless horseman). Glad you found it on ebay. I don't think the toys now are anywhere near as innovative....then again, I haven't gone toy shopping in years, so what do I know, LOL!!!

[mobile513]

No, they aren't. It's a vicious cycle of less imaginative play creating less imaginative kids, coupled w/ video games and a push to "grow up" faster.

To me figures peaked in the 80s. Competition was high as marketers pushed the envelope for more imaginative, complex figures. Since the late 90s however, the shrunken market has relied on nostalgic adults as much as kids, thus, no one is creating any new ideas - except the geniuses at Lego, who are still full of imaginative, open ended concepts.

[HorusRising]

(((applause)))......very well said mobile513. I agree 100%.

[mobile513]

The other things is that nearly all are based on pre-existing movies and comics. Those are cool and everything, Star Wars fuck yeah!, but you'll never see designs unique to the idea of toys, like Transformers or Micronauts. No writers will ever it down and say "what we really need is a story about a robot that can be taken apart to make other robots and transform into a jet. This premise is rich in dramatic content".

[punkjoes]

could they have given bullet man pants at least?

[HorusRising]

(LMAO!!!).........you're right. Man oh man....I still can't believe I owned this toy, AND that I stil remember this commercial. Kudos actionteam.

[virtuahead]

Does anyone else remember the eyebrows on Bullet Man? Holy cow, they were huge! No wonder he wore that helmet all the time. I think the giant eyebrows might have helped hold the helmet in place.

[HorusRising]

Yeah I do.....I regret removing the helmet,lol!

[HorusRising]

@virtuahead LOL!!!

[Wheeljack35]

I had this figure when I was a kid

I loved it

[caction66]

Bulletman was cool but I remember he was held together by a rubberband that usually broke in a month or two. I wonder why Hasbro didn't bring him back in the 1990s when the 12 inch figures were back in vogue???

[dowhatthouwilt911]

Bullet Man was a one trick pony. Now, Atomic Man, there was a well rounded hero. And how much extra entertainment value could a kid get out of a G.I. Joe with shifty eyes?

[MrCameraHammer]

Ahhh.... I remember Bullet Man.  Not sure what ever happend to mine.

[actionteam]

They tended to lose their arms and head because of the elastic going brittle. Certainly no fitting end for a super hero.

[luisnitro91]

@MrCameraHammer OMG I was thinking the same thing, God I miss my Bullet Man.
