Excellent Excellent !!!! 1/6 scale action figure guide. very informative I have many of these figures and your review is spot on and relaxing, bravo man fo sho this should bring many new G.I. Joe ,and 1/6 scale action figures collectors to the fold.
Great job, you nailed it here. We have almost all of these. I think BBI had a few variations with less articulation, we'll check ours as they aren't as articulated as yours if my memory serves me. We have a bunch of the power team we like those a lot. Our main body of figures we use in our collection are almost all super articulated Hasbro ( about 90%) and I have a few of the gung ho snapping hands that should have been standard as they real grip nicely, probably the best hands over all. Very nice video, thanks for putting in the time on this.
Thank you so much! Knowing how much a hard core Joe head you are, the compliments are much appreciated. And stay tuned, I have even more 1/6th scale stuff in the works!👍
Awesome video!! I'm a vintage guy all the way!! I think the original Hasbro Joe was so far ahead of it's time! Too bad Hasbro doesn't bring these back. Even the Super articulated bodies!
Definitely agree that the 60's Joe was groundbreaking and way ahead of its time. The only major upgrade that was needed was hands that could grip, which they eventually did, thank goodness! And, yeah, Hasbro should find a way to bring back these nostalgic items, they are both classic and high quality! Estrela is doing it in Brazil, so why can't Hasbro do it here?
I never got any of the ‘muscle body’ Joes, even to my young eyes it looked cheap and inferior. My Adventure Team was all original body with KFG. Thank you for a very well done showcase of the body types!
I also admire the Power team figures, since always spotting them at Big Lots every holiday season. Finally picked up a CIA SOG figure and was totally wowed by the articulation! Before this I'd always seen the figures at KB toys packed in with huge vehicles sold as "budget" toys. I can tell you the old PT body was very similar to HoF Joes except for the neck articulation. They've had the same necks for a loooong time.
Yes, the older Power Team body was indeed clunky just like the Hall of Fame figures. I recall having a few of those figures a long time ago, but I think I've gotten rid of most of them at this point, although I might have kept one or two in one of my junk bins. The newer body design was a huge leap forward by comparison.
@@LogicBlaster check jeff from skunkworks he did his super joes with the ultra articulated bodies , he gives a Lil tutorial with pictures he took on how to customize them, he also has a separate video on how to do it! They come out really cool.
Agree. Like I mentioned, I have purged most of the Hall of Fame style stuff from my collection due to the bloated proportions and poor articulation. Thank goodness Timeless Collection and Classic Collection figures came along and pushed out the really bad stuff.
@@LogicBlaster I saw that later in the video after i commented. They can't even be used in a diorama like a bar scene. I felt so ripped off when i bought duke. Garbage.
I guess I lucked out because I wasn't really paying attention in the early 1990's. The first time I started paying attention to Joe again was when I first saw the Classic Collection sets showing up at Toys R Us, I think that was late 90's around the same time when Star Wars toys made a major push when the Special Edition got released into theaters.
The only problem i find with the hall of fame figures is the weird shaped upper arm, I used to compete in bodybuilding so maybe that's why im so critical about it , anatomically is very inaccurate it has the shape of an obese lady, no separation of deltoids, bicep and tricep just one big lump of meat! Its the only thing i dont like from the hall of fame figures.
@@LogicBlaster im ok with the shape of the torso, head sculpt, and even do the legs lack of flexibility the shape is pretty good, but then you get to the upper arm and whst hapoend??? Who ever sculptet that upper arm needs some anatomy classes! I think it was the super articulated gi joe you reviewed in this video the upper arm is not huge but it has the right shape is anatomically correct, good separation between deltoides, bis and tris , its just the right shape , I never seen anybody with the shape the hall of fame joes have, its to weird.
Great guide, nice job showcasing the many 1/6 scale bodys
Thank you so much!👍

@@LogicBlaster yep! The Gung-Ho hands are definitely superior! I've actually switched out several of my kung fu hands with the gung ho hands

@@LogicBlaster Nowadays I just wish the 1/6 vehicles were readily available again. KB was a treasure trove of great 1/6 scale jeeps and humvees..
This is really cool, i made a couple of customs with the max steel ultra articulated body, idea i stole from Jeff from Skunkworks! Great video!
I may have to see if I can pick up a Max Steel at some point. I don't currently have any of that in my collection. Thanks for checking out the video!👍

Does anyone know how to fix tight joints on super articulated ones? Especially on the elbows..
Duke hall of fame early 90s is a complete embarrassment. Hall of Shame. Nothing beats 1964-76 Hasbro G.I.Joe.

Hi, what type of prices for these different figures nowadays then?
Opinions may differ on this, but I would not pay more than $20 for any of these body styles.
@@LogicBlasterthe original Gi joe from the 60s cost over 30 in bad conditions

Yeah, I don't know what they were thinking when they designed that body. It just looks weird.
