I remember I got Snow job and the Polar Battle Bear at the same time. My dad was in the Army at the time and really liked the 82 -87 Joes a lot so It helped Me get most of them. Snow job and Mutt were My Favorite joes and Snow Job was in a few Comics as well.
I think Airborne is high because it's a good figure that was overlooked. So older collectors want him to complete a collection. I don't think he'd rank that high if all figures came out at once. He's like a lost figure that is rediscovered.
Until much, much later where I have tons of figures....I mostly hated environmental specific figures like Torpedo and Wet-suit, and Snow Job. Eels were always cool though. Now that I have enough figures to feel full teams of artic or water battles I appreciate the figures more.
See how much i can predict here (83 to 86 is the year of the classics both comics/cartoons and toys). I assume this is solely about 83 figures and not the 82 swivel versions. So my guesses would be 1. Gung Ho 2. Cobra commander 3 Destro 4.Airborne 5 SNow job 6. Duke 7. Cobra viper pilot 8. Torpedo 9 Doc 10. Cover Girl (edit) you or they did count the Swivel arm version(s) of 82 figures.Personally i think that's a bit of cheating. as for the results 8/10 ony cover girl and Viper pilot where not mentioned, guess the latter one is so rare they actually forgot about him.
what do you think about the Viper Pilot. Had a glider? anyway they looked like a cobra basic soldier and I had them as a kid but I don't recall having the cobra attack glider. diff cobra chest logo i think
I think he's kind of the weakest of the "cobra troopers" as far as effort goes. But he's worth a ton and I wish I had one with a nice silver symbol. When they reused the officer to make a vehicle diver he got a unique gray paint scheme.
There was one released around 2000, original Snow Job mold with same accessories. Very similar in color scheme. I think his name was White Out. If you're willing to accept a cheaper (and probably much whiter) substitute in your collection, this will do.
@@gishmoe3088 I’ve got that one. Repainted his beard, done. Looks perfectly cool on my shelf. I think he came with a snow version of Big Ben. Which was a really cool figure.
Great bunch of figures 83 was obviously a classic year for GI Joe

Love those childhood stories.
My top ten, 6.Duke, 7.Airborne, loved these figures!
AIRBORNE is my favorite vintage Joe of all time.
Wow!
I'm surprised that the silver body armored version of Grand Slam didn't make the list.

Poor Tripwire😆
SEAL was very cool, but i found myself using Airborne extensively unless i was in the bath tub
The divers aren't a lot of fun unless you are in the drink.

Yeah, it's fun to have a little team of guys who can work together.

@@Pegwarmers Thanks for the reply!
Pretty sure SE is gonna be 11
It was years, years until I realized that Destro was actual bare chested there. I thought he had a tan shirt.
I could see that.
Airborne airborne all the way! Great figure but sadly underused in media.
Yeah, Ripcord got a bigger story in the comics. Neither one made an impact in the cartoon very much.
I take it Snowjob with all accessories is rare and/or expensive?
Well, you also have to worry about him Yellowing...
Those are to blend in with the yellow snow so you can sneak into Cobra's Arctic dog kennels.
Ha!
