My brother had the GI Joe talking Marine. Alas, it did not survive his little brother...me. I wanted to find out how it talked. So I totally disassembled and removed the talk box. Though I found out how he talked, today, I dare not tell my brother how much that toy is worth.

Heh. My wife often speaks of how her little brother "dissected" her doll to see how it walked. =^[.]^=

Hasbro used to put a lot of effort into their toys. You can see the love the designers had for the product they worked on back then. (And I love the R. Lee Ermey audio clip in there.)

Nowadays they just reboot everything

The Navahoe code breakers were the most vital group of Marines in the Pacific. They were given thier own protector, a fellow Marine who would lay down thier life for them. I am glad GI Joe honored them!

Back in 1965 my brother and I got GI Joe for Christmas. He got the Marine and I got the soldier. A decade later at Marine boot camp in San Diego a pair of 12" GI Joe Action Soldiers were training aids in our final first aid tests. I even was lucky enough to meet the designers at the Gi Joe Collectors Club convention in Walt Disney World's Contemporary Resort during 2004. Can't seem to get away from that 12" man!

Wish we had a Harlem Hellfighter g.i. Joe figure those men deserve to be represented for their contributions in the war

Excellent editing as usual Tony. I'm piecing a 1964 Marine back together that once belonged to a cousin my mother grew up with and played with the figure outside as kids. Like us, he has seen too much combat and needs to be cared for better.

A great video covering the G.I.Joe marine line. I am lucky enough to have almost all the line, though many of my figures and accessories are repros from the 40th Anniversary Timeless line. I COULD buy all vintage, but I like being married. 🙂

I love the original Gi Joe toy line! Especially the marines! I recently bought a dress marine set and I am so happy I have one! Keep up the great work Tony!

You are never too old to play with G. I. Joes.

“Oh boy, oh boy! It’s a Hasbro toy!” Has a whole new meaning now a days.

Wow - what a fast paced & knowledge packed review of the GI Joe Marine variations. It makes me want to collect them all - although my empty wallet prevents me from attempting this ill fated excursion.

Use to love these action man adverts as a kid especially when Christmas

Action figure history documentaries. I'm a sucker for them. It's always interesting to see how action figures have evolved over the years to include so many true to life details, great video. Yo Joe!!!

Crazy detail back in the day. Great work as always Tony.

i love this am 13 now and love old Gi joe I have my uncles old Gi joes and 3 years ago i started collecting them

Semper Fi! Love the Gi Joe Marines! They have a special place in my heart and my collection as I have served as well!

Great video. I still cant belive the quality and attention to detail in many of this uniforms.

I love that they made all branches of the military but one they never made was the 65th infantry Borinqueniers, some of my grand uncles fought with the 65th and I did a few years as a volunteer taking care and helping veterans in a hospital, reading for them, helping nurses feed them and taking care of they're bed ulcers, most of these veterans were from the 65th, I wish GI 🧔🏻‍♂️ JOE made a figure for them or maybe I'll make my own custom.

Great history telling as always Tony! I love learning about the original GIJOE line. Thanks for sharing. 🙏

I watched. Action man international's. I seen the british paratrooper that you had put a ring around. I studied the picture. And had a look in my bit's box and found most of the uniform. Just waiting for some lace up boots and a sten gun to come in the post. 😊

Eeew, rahhh! Great job on a very classic themed retrospect on our Dirt Dogs! 💪

Many thanks Tony, love soo much your videos...long life to Vintage toys ! take care Fellow : )

Great vid! I love the movie clips. I worked at toys R us when the code talker figure came out. And when they re released the 60’’s joes. I kicked my self for not buying all of them when they came back out. So far I’ve managed to get the marine communications set, and a navy attack set. Both are my little tributes to my grand father (navy) and great grand father(USMC)

The Sears Canada exclusive GI Joe 1967 RCMP Mountie is another rare one.

As always thank you Tony for posting your excellent video(s) and bringing back many fond memories of my childhood playing with all my G.I. Joes!

Great feature! This range gave us accessories for years to come at Palitoy.A few points-- The bayonets were repurposed with rounded ends later for toy safety reasons, the mortar was also a problem as with most firing models. The backpack was also a bit out of date for Vietnam. The Marines always seemed to take pride in using army customs and the backboard was widely used, (and bl#*dy uncomfortable). Good that you featured the Code talkers. Interestingly a number of tribes were featured in this role in WW1. A few years ago the US Mint commemorated this fact by issuing a coin set with regard to this fact. There was stuff in this feature that I have never seen before so it was a real education for me. Thanks again, great research.

Bro, I love your episode I love G.I. Joe’s. I wish I had one still to display but I’d go crazy buying all sorts of different ones and stuff. Anyhow thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work.

Another banger! Thanks, Tony.

What amazing detail you go into in these videos. Great video. Thanks for all the info on this amazing line of action figures.

Man, every single one of your videos is so informative and interesting, thanks for your amazing videos, analog toys!

Another great video from you Tony! Thanks for sharing your collection, and giving folks a view into my era of G.I. Joe.

Love these historical videos! Great job!

Excellent video. This was all before my time (80s/early 90s kid) but it’s all fascinating toy history

Another great video Tony. Love learning about these old figures, you are the perfect host for this particular topic.

Always entertaining and informative. Thanks. Keep it up Trooper.

Awesome video! You have done a great job with your videos. Love the information and the showing of uniforms, weapons and equipment is spot on. Thank you for producing some outstanding videos

Love watching your Action Man videos…. Really informative!

These GI Joe's look incredible!

Another great video, Tony. I wonder if Gung-Ho being issued in the 80s with his dress blues was a tribute to his 12 inch cousin.

Excellent video, tony. Your collection is amazing.

What a wonderful video and a great way for me to learn of this range. I concur, these uniforms are amazing and a squad together just pops. Like you, my earliest memories of the US Marines relate to John Wayne and 50s and 60s films on sunday afyernoons. Thank u for the hard work!

Another high quality informative video 👍

Great video gi joe marine is one of my favorites been a fan of your work for a long time👍👍

Superb G.I. Joe Action Marines mini documentary, by Analog Toys.

Hasbro should just flood the market with vintage g.i. Joe from the 1980s I would pay good money for that stuff

Nice video! I learned a great deal from this.

Another great one, Tony!

I don't know if you've ever covered them, but the Marx Toys Johnny West and the Best of the West 12" figure line from the '60s had some really amazing accessories, along with a good variety of character figures. =^[.]^=

The mortar still escapes me!!! But a collector's hope springs eternal! Couldn't have asked for a better video on these marines! Thanks Tony! Toy On!

The action Marie is the most iconic who remembered that scene in toy story 1

Tony, you out did yourself with this video 😮 Bravo!!! 🎉 I knew your Action Man collection was world-class but your G.I. Joe collection really shocked me. I’m working on the soldiers of the world right now. That Japanese soldier is hard to find for a good price.

Out-F-Ing-Standing Tony! A great look into the history of G.I. Joe and our fighting Marines!

1) I never knew that GI JOE had a mortar and now need to find one bc it's so damn cool 2) Now I realized I need a code talker action figure

Thanks for the info about the indian ,didnt know i just bought one for my collection.thanks again

These unforms are super cool and the extras wow!!

Pretty awesome versions!

Great job 👏 and information 👏 👍

Well done

I broke down and bought the Collector Club Lost Talker to have a representative talker. I’m still on the hunt for an original though. I also have the Code Talker in my collection.

I never realised that action man had so many play features mine sweepers firing mortars you have definitely peaked my interest in action man

My great grandpa was one of the og 29 code talkers

The Marine camo poncho was available as a stand alone item, stitched to the smaller equipment card like the Marine Basics or M60 Machine gun. Also, although the Marine dress uniform is the most eye catching, the Air Force dress uniform and the Navy "Cracker Jack" uniform from the Shore Patrol set were released at the same time. Finally, I would argue that the Marine, as well as Soldier, Sailor and Pilot are definitely rooted firmly in the post Korean War era. The Action Pilot gives the game away due to the rigid crash helmets, g-suit, and USAF dress uniform,and other accessories such as the M1 carbine with curved magazine, M65 field jacket, and M3 smg that saw limited use in WWII due to being produced in far fewer numbers than the M1A1 Thompson all supporting my assertion. The camo uniform itself might be what is known as Beo Gam from the Vietnam period due to the bright red spots in the pattern.

Glad to see you're getting back into toy reviews especially the vintage ones. I've missed this from your channel and it was the main reason I started following you years ago. If is wasn't for your original video on Action Man, I would never have known about him. Maybe sometime I can get you on my Mancave Livestream show. I know you're way out of our league, but it's just a bunch a dudes talking GI Joes and toys. Actually this Monday I will be having an "American Brit" on talking about GI Joe vs Action Man. Keep doing what you're doing brother.

So you want me to come on your channel but you start your comment by implying that I haven’t been making toy videos for while? I never stopped making vintage toy videos and in the last 6 months alone I’ve made 8 in-depth Action Man / GI Joe videos. If you’ve missed this type content from my channel then it’s because you haven’t been paying attention.

@@AnalogToys Misunderstood, I like this format and the original old school stuff you do is what I meant if that makes sense? Like when you do the vintage Star Wars and the Action Man 3 3/4 scale versus the new stuff like the 1/12 scale. I'm old school so just really can't get into the newer lines like GI Joe classified, etc. Didn't mean for it to sound that way.

Great review. However, Hasbro should have had the paratrooper set be for the Action Soldier and the Action Sailor should have been a Corpsman. Surprising oversight on their part considering how carefully they researched their sets.

Do you have any of the GI Joes from the late 90s, early 2000s? They had some excellent figures like the Pointe Du Hoc Army Ranger that had incredible artwork and a few paragraphs about the history of the soldier. I loved them for the historical tributes, I wish they would revive those with the Classified line

I remember having a rent with a plastic “gras Ground” to fix the tent to... have never seen a tent like this.. maby it only came with Action man product..🤔

Up to this day, my sister and I still debate if this early line of the G.I. Joe is a doll or not.

I saw this upload just as i sat down to eat taco bell and let me tell you brother i am completely satisfied

Hi there, my nana just gave me some of these toys that are from 1964, i have a bunch of mixed matched toys ranging from the toys in box, german infantry military series...green ammo looking box with accessories in it.. also some jeep rc toy looking thing that is maybe 2 feet long, thing is a monster....I dont know how to go about selling anything, but if anyone knows some knowledge on this stuff let me know

Awesome Tony! Did Action Man in the UK come with the same field manual style instructions?

Little known fact. Don Adams was in the marines and fought on Guadalcanal

Why didn't you just retrieve the rifle from the card and left everything else intact till you came across an Action figure that needed dressing. Can't beat the vintage stuff. Built to last. 3 days ago I picked up an Action man Officer cadet boxed by Art and Science Hasbro. Mint condition. Still fastened to the card. Watched a few reviews of this action figure that it was incomplete. Yet the one I bought was. It comes with belt holster pistol badge on beret and I'm very pleased with it. I also came across a Deep water salvage uniform still in it's package and a small bag of weapons rifles etc in silver. Not yet sure what action figure they go with as I'm only just starting collecting. It's like a drug. No sooner you pick up 1 or 2 figures you want to go out a buy another the next day

Great video Dave! Always look forward to seeing your uploads. Like getting Action Man in the U.S., I'd assume getting the G.I. Joe Marines was a hard task where you are? My only nit-pick is that at 7:00 you claimed that the marine dress blues were the first/only dress fatigues until the cadets. The Action Soldier M.P. sports a U.S. Army dress uniform without cap, the Action Pilot had a set of Air Force dress fatigues, And the Action Sailor Shore Patrol had a set of Navy winter dress blues that (If I remember right) at the time acted as both Dress and Work uniforms. (May have been just for dress use by the 40s/50s, can't remember...)

"A Marine Paratrooper and a Marine Medic" Ummm? I think somebody in design failed to ask enough questions. (For those not getting it, the Marines do not have Paratroopers. It's kind of the exact opposite of their purpose. They go in by sea. And for some odd quirk of history and tradition, Marines do not have Medic's. Instead they use embedded Navy Corpsmen. All Medical Personnel are Navy not Marines.)
