Hyrdrofoil is a great vehicle. It’s really a beautiful toy, when I started off trying to collect the whole 82-94 vintage range I made sure this was one of the first big vehicles I added.

I never had the Moray, but I wanted it. I loved GI Joe. GI Joe was one of the greatest toylines of my childhood.

I am from the Dominican Republic. I remember this particular toy. I did not have it in my collection but a friend did. It was a great to be 9 year old boy in 1985. Toys from the 80s were the best.

Man I love that Tidal Creek footage! Hydrofoil has to be one of my fav Cobra vehicles, that I never had as child. Great video! 💥💥💥

I always loved the attention to detail in the design of these toys. They really understood their audience. I loved assembling them, applying the decals and playing with them. They were such a great value.

i really love how massive both the toys and the packaging on the Action Force/GI Joe toys are. I always was overwhelmed when i walked into a toy store and all those fantastic boxes of toys, be it MASK, Transformers, StarCom or those. Good times

What a story - Jody has always been so generous and it's frigging amazing he found it with the UK style box.

Toni, you seem so genuine in sharing your stories and your wonderful Joe collection with us all. Thank you for these videos. As a grown man that still has countless Joe items from his childhood, its fun to see others share theirs with such enthusiasm. I got the 'Foil back in '85 at its American release and loved it. I then sold it in 2002 to pay some bills and bought one sealed to replace it about a year later. God willing, i think I'll hold onto this one! Peace to you and yours Toni and thank you again for these videos!

I had one back in 87 and on until about 2017, then my entire collection was lost in a storage unit(s) and a divorce. Thank you fir bringing back some fond memories!

Great video Tony, the Moray really is one of the standout vehicles of the line. Jody is a truly generous soul, as always ☺️ And wow @ 11:06 the TTBP, Chainclaw, the Blue-Box basketball game, and what looks to be a wad of cash… your cousin cleaned up that year! 😄

Im so happy my mum and dad bought me this back then. They were so goid to us! Miss them.

One thing I love about being a father is sharing play experience with my son. While I don't always have the same toys I did as a child my son and I can play out scenarios just like you described. I get a little bit of my own child hood back and share that experience with my son.

I got this toy when I was kid and loved it. I played with it all the time. Even in the bathtub. I moved out when I 18 and left it at my Dads in a box with all my GIJoe stuff. At some point between my Dad’s moves it was lost. I searched everywhere to find a complete one but have not been successful. Still was thankful I had one when I was long and got so many hours out of it.

I had one, and it was awesome. Probably the largest toy I owned, not just GI Joe line. It had so many details. And that Cobra sticker on the side is still kick ass!

Missed this when I was a kid . it is one of my favorite cobra vehicles in my collection. Always cool to see it out in some water.nice review

That vehicle is epic just amazing looking and the fact it had several seats inside just adds to the lore

This was one of my favorite vehicles when I was a kid. I too got it for Christmas and spent hours upon hours with it having pool and bath adventures. I still have my original in my collection.

This toy was AWSOME! I played with my hydrofoil all the time. I remember the missle rack was always a huge pain to keep aligned but I gladly fixed it every time to keep it in tip top shape. Had to sell all my GI Joe when I went to college to help pay the bills. Still sad about that to this day.

Fantastic vehicle, easily one of the best in the entire GI Joe toy line. It had killer looks and tons of fun play features, and was a childhood favorite. I had Joes sneaking aboard too, but they were their to steal it for their own use. Fortunately I never got out my Testors paints and applied a more Joe appropriate livery...

Tony, when I got mine - we took it over to our local woods in Norwich (Mousehold Heath) within the woods was a pond which the Fire Brigade used to bring the pump engine down to and fill up. Tethered on the end of my Superman kite strings (no-kite) we pulled the Moray across the pond and to our amazement - that 'toy' came right out of the water! Just like its real life design...Many passes where made and a great day was had...the only downfall was the searchlight, yup, somewhere in a pond in Norwich there's a little piece of clear plastic! "bugger!"

A fellow Joe collector? I’ve got this too, all parts are in order too! A favourite and a believable piece of hardware!

A ssssssstriking vehicle indeed. I never had the vintage original but I got an incomplete rerelease redeco of the Hydrofoil for team Joe, man they made em good back in the day.

This was one of my favorite vehicles from the entire line. I love taking a look back at it. You've brought so many great memories of my childhood with this one.

What a wonderful, detailed piece! Hasbro designers did a great job! I'm amazed at the detail and thought put into it! Cobra could have won the Battle of the Atlantic with a fleet of these.

Probably my favorite G.I Joe vehicle of all time. I used to take it to my Grandmothers house and play with it in the pool. What I liked most about it was not only did it float, but when waterlogged it sank to the bottom. Another pool favorite was the Night Raven because it too sank to the bottom very slowly. I used to have it crash land in the water and have the pilots evacuate before it went under.

The Cobra Hydrofoil is now on my list to look for at JoeFest. Hope to see you there!

Such a cool toy from such a great guy. I loved all the B-roll water footage in this one.

A wonderfully detailed realistic war machine

Only just saw this. Great review! I did not realise it floated! Jody bought this through my shop. So glad it arrived ok and you did this video. What a fantastic friend you have. Saw the unwrapping video as she kindly sent me the link but was good to watch this too. Keep up the great work!

This too was one of my favorite Christmas toys,along with The Flagg!

Definitely one of my top 10 favorite vehicle/playsets in the Joe line. As you probably know, these were available in the states in our 85 line. I lost my spotlight lens when I was a kid, but bought the 2005 TRU version just for the lens to complete it.

Awesome! I think 1987 is my favorite year for GI Joe toys also. Never had the Hydrofoil but it always looked really cool in the little catalogs

hands down, my favorite vehicle

What a great toy! I was out of G.I. Joe by 87 (I'm 3-4 years older than you) but my best friend's cousin had one and definitely thought it was cool and wished I was a couple years younger so I could play with it.

Great review Tony. Thanks for the background on when Action Force stopped in the UK and Action Force International Heroes started. Gives me some background for my Sky Striker my mother brought back from the UK to New Zealand on one of her holidays. Sky Striker no box stuffed inside her suitcase.

I remember playin with this in the bathtub, loved it

Great video. I picked up a Hydrofoil a couple of years back. I had one when I was a kid. Great vehicle.

The Hydrofoil was one of my favorite toys, as a boy.

I just discovered your channel. I love how you put the figures and vehicles in the great outdoors. I'll be watching you this weekend

I remembered getting this for Christmas, along with AWE Striker and Cobra Terror Drome. My two sisters help put together the Terror Drome while I do the Striker and Hydrofoil. Wish I hadn't sold them years ago.

Love the dry dock storyline!

80's kids had the best toys.

I got this for christmas from my dad and step mom. I had so much fun with this as a kid

Awesome video my Brother! Sharing your childhood memories makes it that much more fun to watch! The 'Foil was and still is 1 of those rare Cobra vehicles that made Cobra a serious contender on the water! I remember getting mine as a gift for the holidays and I was so excited as a kid to have it and I still am! Thanks.for sharing your enthusiasm!

The Moray is an awesome vehicle. Got the chance of getting it together with the Whale, for a great price, when I began my collecting journey 15 years ago ✊🏼

Outstanding video and great work on the special effects!!!

Never had this one as a kid. I had the whale, the water moccasin, and the shark. I am currently looking for this from my current collection, and can’t wait to play with it!

Excellent video 👍 Compliments Jody so a big "Yo Jody" shoutout 😉👍

Fantastic review... I picked it up a month ago together with the rattler and Terror Drome.

I just finished a restoration of a killer whale and bought the Hydrofoil for my next restoration project. Another toy I didn't have as a kid but always wanted. So cool.

So many memories, I love GI Joe toys, thank you 👍

Great video @AnalogToys !

What a fantastic American toy line !

I not only have the COBRA hydrofoil as well, but I also wrote my own form of ‘tech specs’ for it! (Did that for most of my JOE vehicles…) 🤓

I loved all the BIG BOX toys in the 80s. These toys were just amazing, and you could see the technical TLC in their production. From the ultra-realism at the start to dialing it to 11 and hitting that sweet spot, not too outlandish, wacky or sci-fi. When they lost the edge and threw it away, that will be one of the saddest eras in my life. The two toys I wish I could have owned were a MCC and Defiant.

Grat review Tony. Love all your videos brother!! Always very well informed and professional.

i always wanted a moray hydrofoil. they were the coolest boats in the line.

I so loved the cobra hydrofoil, I got lucky enough to get one at a toy show. but of course its missing just about everything. now the fun is finding replacement parts.

Such an amazing vehicle, awesome video Tony

What an awesome donation by Jody and review! I look back and wish I had one of these but was into so many different toy lines at once I only had smaller vehicles. Great video as always.

I get the feeling iot was as much fun designing these toys than playing with them. I can see a bunch of men in a room seeing how many guns they could fit on a vehicle.

When I was a kid, I wanted the WHALE for Christmas. I got this instead. Looking back, I think this was probably better. It's probably the one piece I miss having the most. Thanks for doing the video.

you got me with the somewhat protected windshield haha

As kids we went hard with the whole GI Joe action fugure war setup inside and out snow didn't matter only added hence alot of lost parts and broken we got our money's worth. But to see these almost complete is great I just brought my sr 71 or A12 cobra plain to my house I think it's 90% still cool also my Voltron that's 90% also.

This vehicle was out of my price range as a young collector but like many I definitely wanted one. Great video Tony

Love it Tony! looks flipping amazing on water. Pound for pound this thing has gotta be the most heavily armed aquatic vehicle in the line. Some of the features they included remind me of the Moonraker Glastron Carlson Q boat.

Great video! Awesome toy. I love that you shared your play scenario with us. Tons of great memories and fun with this one. Thanks

I had this it was awesome. I made a "missile launcher" with a bit of plastic tubing and an elastic band and I'd set the hydrofoil with action figure and take toy missiles and fire them at the Moray trying to take out the "crew". Had a lot of fun with that.

Besides the Rattler, this was my favorite Cobra vehicle. It could hold so many figures, and had a ton of weapons. It was awesome to have as a kid

That Christmas I got the hovercraft, the rattler and the aerialbots......that was a great Christmas lol.

I still have the turret and will be getting a replacement hydrofoil soon. After all these years I didn't know that it would float!

Great review, great vehicle. I still have my childhood one but all the tabs to hold the haul together have all broken off, going to try and tape it together. Looks like it floated well in the water! Cobra!

Awesome review tony. Good luck finding that lens.🇺🇸👍

I just discovered your Channel. Thank you so much for your videos. I also got this vehicle for Christmas that year. It was always one of my favorites growing up

This type of review is why I came to this channel originally. Great stuff. Reminding me of my playtime. I remember I had Lamprey but not this vehicle - I had the Moccasin. I guess I must have swapped him with someone.

I love the COBRA Moray so much I had it's logo laser etched onto my 9mm suppressor.

Great review! I really enjoy the depth in which you go and the live action shots are great. I completely forgot about this one. My friend had a hydrofoil when we were growing up. I was so jealous! Since your review i bought one(lol- apparently I'm very impressionable).

I love the hydrofoil what a great toy it is, Jody is a legend. As always Great video. 👍

I missed the Patreon notification so now I gotta wait for it like a normal person. You might say I was Hydro-foiled myeh-heh!

Great Vid Tony! What a great vehicle! - might send pics of my childhood survivor Moray if that's of interest? just for Fun :) All the best Bud!

07:59 and I keep clicking and clicking. I loved this thing as a, uhm... kid.

The Hydrofoil and Water Moccasin are favourites of mine.

I remember the Christmas I got this and it has been my favorite ever since.

Love your style and presentation!

LOL, in an actuall combat situation, the Baroness would have her hair tied up on a bun to avoid it getting caught up.

hope Hasbro Rereleases this vehicle with the new o-ring line. cant wait for the reveals during Yojoe June.

I had the cobra hydrofoil as well, and it was awesome!

I had one of these when I was a kid. It was great. Though I could only make it float in the bath.

This and the Killer Whale were my favorite from the line as a kid. This came out right before I aged out of toys (discovered girls) and it was a great last hoorah. I can’t believe I never put it in water !

I don't collect any GI Joe or Action Force, but this toy is spectacular. Love that you had some shots of it in the water, it looked amazing. I would love some of this line but I just don't have any space left thanks to SWBS, MOTU, M.A.S.K. and Ghostbusters...

Excellent review! 👍

great toy- fantastic review!

My little bro had this, I had the WHALE. I have both now, amazing vehicles, but your completely right-so many little, lose able and breakable pieces! The Whale has to be worse. Lol

Would have been the perfect place at the end for the COBRALALALA

This can also be fun playing in a tub ramming the rubber duckies...minus the soap and shampoo, of course.

Toy Golden Era

Great video always fun to see your videos The moray one of the coolest and nice gi joe vehicle. When I started collecting joes back in 2000 I was lucky to find one except for the lense (which I don’t mind not to have it) maybe one day I will put a repro one in it. 2 years ago I found another complete morray at my local flea market for z80$ I picked it up for a xmas girft for a friend and collector.

Has these as a US kid, wish I still did!

i always assumed that a lot of the openness on vehicles was for playability so we always assumed that they were covered when we played lol

Luckily I had this-great toy,so many features
