I had the capture copter and eagle eye joe
@@billmeechan3341great toys right there 🙌
I just recently found the back half of this in my dad’s attic. It was a very fun. Multifunctional toy. Many play features. I was born in 72 so inherited it from my big brothers. Combined with the Big Trapper I had it was a great set-up as a kid on a farm. We had so much space to play and dig roads etc out in a large part of the garden under the trees. The “glass” dome alone looks to be in about as good condition as possible after 52 years - that piece alone… oiy vey! 🤑 the chairs in the front pop out, and had a stand in two pieces to use as the chair. I guess I never knew at my young age it could use batteries 🤯 but I don’t think the light part survived until the point I was old enough to play with it.
I think the GI Adventure Team was about the best toy concept in an almost real world concept to ever be released. Kind of Indiana Jones/James Bond and Jurassic Park mixed together with some sci-fi elements, before their time really. And despite them having firearms, not overly violent.
Plain and simple a great toy line that was fun and let us play with our imaginations. ❤
That’s awesome that you found that, appreciate you sharing that story! Although we weren’t born yet to enjoy it them growing up, we definitely appreciate toys like this and the Adventure Team sets are a true art of their time and they’re great to collect!
Greatest GI Joe accessory toy, ever! The "motor" switch would operate the satellite/radar dish on the roof (it would spin). Great work, guys...congrats on the find!
Appreciate the tips! Yea this thing is awesome, they sure don’t make toys like they used to lol. Thanks for watching!
The light could work and light and radar dish rotation if not corroded. The rubber band inside that moves the radar fish often is missing
I’ll have to take a look at that !
I had it, and it was my favorite toy for a long while. Got a huge Matt Mason playset near the same time that shared my attention. :) Great stuff!
That’s awesome, hope it brought back some good memories! Major Matt Mason, another classic 🙌 thanks for watching!
I got one of these for Christmas in 1972
@@PrimarchMatterion that’s awesome! Brings back memories!
Yes. The switch turns the radar dish around in a circle. The Spotlight has a light on it, and there is a drone launcher that shot off a little wheeled drone Along the likes of that gun that shot off the little propeller projectile. Your vehicle probably doesn't have the little rubber bands that made the things turn, so you'll probably have to replace them. (Mine didn't last past Christmas Day, '74)
This was Adventure team, so it was about adventure stuff, saving the whales and gators and that sort of shit. I was in it early, so I had Sam Cobra as our slick willie bad guy who enlisted the likes of Maskatron, Big Jim's villains and cronies, and topped off with a big assed robot "SHOGUN" guy with shooting fists, or missiles. I forgot which one I had, it was big for us little guys.
You have me interested in putting one of these guys back together. That was one hell of a vehicle. There used to be a show on Saturday Mornings called ARK 2. THIS vehicle was my ARK 2. The team would branch out from the base, and use this for the adventures. IIRC, I had a big assed Shark from JAWS that I'd use, because the one I had with the diving gear looked like a minnow.
You've got me interested in this stuff, for some reason. I'd almost forgot this one.
Appreciate all the info! I love this vehicle and the other adventure team playsets, back when there was actual creativity put into toys haha. Hope you get the chance to to put one of these bad boys back together 🙌
The battery compartment is on the top near the light
Found it! Doesn’t seem to be working unfortunately. Still might be worth building it back up with the rest of the pieces.
From watching GI Joe related channels, it seems there is a small cottage industry making missing parts for the old gear, including printable replacements for lost or damaged decals. Might be worth a search online. Plenty of us perpetual nine-year-olds out there still have a passion for these nostalgic toys, and some make a hobby out of such restorations. =^[.]^=
You’re absolutely right! A lot of people make 3D printed parts for these, and a lot of other nostalgic toy sets too (I see a lot for power rangers also). Some people are sticklers and only like the original parts lol I wouldn’t mind a printed part here and there though!
The missing satellite launcher is missing the ladder would attach to it
Good to know!
The motor swith makes the radar and light spin. There's probably all kinds of goo inside it which would have been the drive belt
Appreciate the insight!
Motor is for the radar dish? Seem like it rotated.
Yes that’s correct! Still need to test it out.
Motor for Satellite and search that that rotated. It’s missing ladder and launchable round satellite and. Radio active device.
yea missing some of the "fun" pieces for sure might be worth it to fix it up. thanks for watching!
4:23 There was no Cobra in the early 70s dude. Cobra was totally created for the 80s cartoon shows.
We’re aware! Just having fun. Glad you liked the video, thanks for watching!
@@nostalgiast99 I had the mobile recovery vehicle. But, was too young to really appreciate it.
@@markteague8889 that’s awesome that you had it though either way. We never appreciate toys as kids then we look back and kick ourselves lol
The back door is inside out just take it off and flip and put it back
