Fun making it.

[teletubetodd]

I remember this. I never had a GI Joe — my parents thought he was too warlike for a kid my age (5 or 6 at the time!) — but I always enjoyed the commercials. Thanks for bringing this back.

[saltaeb99]

@Tyler117725 I think filmed in 1966-or 67. Just so long ago to remember!

[Tyler117725]

I have a talking gi joe that says'' Capture hill 79 move out''!!

[saltaeb99]

@Tyler117725 Wow! From what year?

[Banjomountain]

@saltaeb99 That would be the Talking Action Soldier, which first came out in '67 and was made through '69.

[saltaeb99]

@Banjomountain Really.This commercial1967? Trying to remember.

[Banjomountain]

@saltaeb99 Well this commercial has to be at least '66 cause that was the year the sea sled and the space capsule was released by Hasbro.

[saltaeb99]

@Banjomountain Okay. I think i was almost 9. Possibly 1967. Or maybe it was filmed in 66.You are probabnly right. Would like to know more things about capture hill 79.Know now it was the biggest toy promotion and contest for toys.
