Dad bought me a Night Raven when I was in 3rd grade for getting all As on my report card. No toy I owned was ever more awesome than that thing.

I had the Tomahawk, XP14 Skystriker, and Night Raven. I was blessed with also having the GI JOE headquarters. The Gi Joe toys of the 80s were second to none. I still think they are the best lol

The WHALE was by far my favorite toy. Played with it for hours and hours in and out of the pool. Thank you GI Joe and Hasbro for being part of my childhood

I always loved the WHALE. It actually floated as well. Totally the best toy.

Where is Wild Bill and his Huey AH-1 Cobra helicopter? Dragonfly

The HISS owns in spite of being unrealistic and a terrible design for a combat tank. But it looks godly.

My favorite was always the, "Dreadnok: Thunder Machine." it's the only thing I have today from my childhood collection

The one vehicle I always wanted was the Wolverine. Those dual rotating missile turrets just looked so cool. However, the jets have to be my top 2 as well. My favorite comic I owned as a kid, was a GIJoe comic detailing a dogfight between Ace and Wild Weasel.

Rattler is #1 for me

The Rolling Thunder is my favorite GI Joe vehicle. It was a massive tank/battle platform/missile command. Fully extended, opened and with the missile carriage upright, it was like a forward command center with its own 6 wheeled recon ATV. It has seating for 2 drivers, 4 gunners, 2 turret cannon operators, 1 communication station and 1 navigation post. That thing is awesome.

and you missed cobra F.A.N.G. the most essential cobra copter, lives through pretty much the entire 80s. YOU Dan get a super awesome high five! some people just never experienced living as a child with a fridgerator Perry figure on their nightstand. and a cobra FANG hanging from their ceiling . sweet bliss!

No MOBAT? A Mobile Battle Action Tank that's motorized, direction changing, had REAL treads and came with it's own figure, Steeler! Say it isn't so Dan!

Trouble Bubble. Or whatever it was called. The Tomahawk holds a very special place in my heart, as it was part of a truly remarkable birthday, when my school was shut due to snow, my biology exam was cancelled, and I got a three day weekend to play with my new toys (and do extra biology revision).

The G.I. Joe General. One of the biggest vehicles in Joe history.

Best. Video. Ever! It is 1984, I am ten years old again, and the whale is being covered by a skystriker on its way to attack cobra island....

Dude! Two words, "WART" and "HOG"! Best combination of all the neat things in Joe toys. Removable engine cover, seats for diver and support with a hatch, space in the back for more little dudes, and two giant missiles on top. How, oh how, in the nine realms did this not make the list? All kidding aside, great video as always.

I got the SkyStriker and Killer Whale for Christmas one year. Greatest Christmas ever. My Mom didn't keep my toys, she gave them away ... I'm still working though some shit.

I always preferred the Cobra vehicles they were pimped out! Cool video as always :)

The Rattler also had "Combat damage" Panels, I had one whilst one of my mates had a Sky Striker and we fought a lot over which one was better on the basis of nothing like children tend to do obv.

Snow Cat should have made the list too. lol

I loved the Dragonfly, and the tiger stolen rattler.

Moray is definitely one of the coolest and one of my favorites. Wish I still had it from my childhood. Had a badass pilot/captain, multiple machine gun stations, depth charges, missile rack and 2 hatches for figures to peer out from. Great looking toy

I remember the whale and hydrofoil was fell apart real easily. The water moccasin was tough and well built. No to mention the vamp and stinger that could go off jumps and take beating

I'm at a Christmas party watching GI Joe videos on my phone. YO JOE!!!!!

Love all those vehicles, but I would like to add the Snow Cat and the Rolling Thunder to the list.

My most prized GI Joe possession growing up was the Havoc. I played with it for hours and hours. We went on tons of missions together. I agree that it doesn’t necessarily belong on this list of top 10 over all, but I loved it so much because it’s what I had!

Cobra Rattler was one of my favourites! Awesome!

As a kid I liked that the Joe's vehicles were based on actually military designs: The Dragonfly, MOBAT, Wolverine. The VAMP, VAMP II, and the Awestriker were cool. A favorite, often forgotten vehicle is the Joe Snow Cat. It had regular as well as ski missiles as well as the figure, Frostbite. The Cobra Rattler and GI JOe WHALE were the best, though. They came with so many missiles, bombs, depth charges and guns galore. Along with accessories such as the scout sled and motorcycle for the WHALE and removable panels to show battle damage on the Rattler

Thanks for leaving pics up longer. I mean, you look great, you big lovable toy man! But it's nice to see the toy too. 👍

the Rattler was based on the Fairchild Republic A-10 *Thunderbolt II* . Warthhog is just one of several nicknames ( _though arguably the most popular_ ) given to the plane.

My first GI Joe toy was the RAM and Breaker to ride it. I remember getting it in 1984. The Mirage motorcycle was a good progression from the RAM as well.

I think the VAMP should be on this list, your choices were well thought out and I agree with them. I just don’t know what I would pull out to be able to add the VAMP. WHALE!!!! (my all time favorite)

Love the list- Rolling thunder and the bridge layer too!

While Cobra vehicles generally tended to be sleeker in concept, the GI Joe Avalanche was pretty sweet! Always been on my top 10!

Great list, but I would have rearranged, or added a few more. From 1982-1985, my friend had probably the BEST backyard, to ever play G.I. Joe. It was huge, with 3 big trees ( all climb able, with large sprawling branches, and high up "jungle " top canopy. One did have a tree house. Anyways, it wasn't all flat land, on one side, was small rolling hills, and the other side of the yard dipped down, a few feet. Then some nice big plant,, and bush/ flower beds. So when it rained, it had awesome ponding, and areas of a "river", flowing through. Watching the MOBAT traverse mud, the "hills", and going through water, while watching from 50 feet away, as it does its thing, was bliss. When it wasn't raining, we had the foam gliders. Perched way above in the tree house, and launched. We could get those babies to sail! There was never a bad day to play G.I.Joe in that yard. Even the one time it snowed for 2 days, just amazing. Between the two of us, we had the whole arsenal of joe/cobra items, including a few extra more, of the smaller stuff, like bivouac camps, radar tower/stations, a few trouble bubbles. The wolverine, was always near the MOBAT for support/ coverage. ( way to go Cover Girl!)... and the hawk missile systems, and howitzer always strategically placed. Damn I miss those days.

Rollingthunder was the one for me. I remember as a kid coming down one Christmas morning and seeing it under the tree. That thing was HUGE to a kid.

The Conquest X30 was my favorite vehicle.

Awe. No Water Moccasin. :(

Some of my favorites were the Phantom stealth jet, the Tiger Paw ATV, the Dreadnok Thunder Machine, and Zartan's Chameleon Swamp Skier. The Chameleon was a bit on the lame side most of the time, but it was great in the snow, as was any figure with skis.

The Joe mobat tank was pretty sweet too. Got it for Christmas. It was motorized and had real tracks.

The Thunder Machine would be #1 for me but your list is acceptable :)

1984 stinger was my first gijoe.

Night Raven #1 for me!

Of course we all have our favorites that may or may not have made it into this video but this was a really fun watch. Thanks for the walk down memory lane, young version of Dan.

No VAMP? I loved that thing. And the FANG.

One word: Wolverine Two other words: Cover Girl ✌🏻😉

Thanks for making this list Dan, making me feel extremely old at the same time!! I love this list dude, so many great memories.

Top 3 I had as a kid (not on your list): Conquest X-30 (in python patrol coloring), Snow Wolf, and Moray hydrofoil (which I got second hand). I did love my Sky Stryker, though. Also worth mentioning as to upping the enjoyment factor were the "blueprints" that each came with. I'd estimate another 47% enjoyment from blueprints alone.

Snow Cat, Water Moccasin, and Cobra Hydrofoil should on this list.

Hydrofoil and Thunder Machine.

The WHALE is a childhood memory that I'll treasure forevah. Incredible toy!

I had many gi joe products here from 1982 to maybe 1985 or 86. My dad was in the USAF so you can imagine how as a kid I could play with the fighter jet and A 10 and then be on base and see real ones training overhead and on the ground.

I’m sad the Skyhawk didn’t make the list, that was my favorite vehicle, great video 👍🏼✌🏽

Definitely also included in honorable mention: 1. Dreadnox Thunder Machine 2. Cobra FANG 3. G.I. Joe Dragonfly

I had the chrome Joe recolor of the Night Raven, the "Sky Raven." Easily one of my favorite toys as a kid. That thing was huge.

No CLAW? C'mon- the 30 second animated commercial for the comic book introduced the CLAW and Storm Shadow!

Always feel weird wearing GI Joe clothing....always worry someone is going to ask me "where did you serve"?

No SHARC? No Triple T? No Snowcat? Ok, the triple t is pushing it, but the SHARC was in no less than 3 sub teams, and the snow cat has been re used for both Tiger Force, and an (alternate version?!?) Of the HAVOC. Just my opinion. Thanks for taking the time to share your video with us!

Night Raven = Pure awesomeness!!!

Nothing is more frightening than a VTOL A-10. Cobra had that.

VAMP over Mamba

Can we get an honorable mention for the Ferret/Tiger Paw?

Cobra Rattler is my favorite.

Great job. There’s always gonna be favorites left out but good way to focus on the iconic ones. And you’re still my favorite toy guy!

My favorite vehicle is the invisible stealth fighter jet I have multiple in my collection

"And of course the shuttle itself it's a shuttle itself." - Dan Larson 2017

The Devilfish is by far my favorite G.I. Joe vehicle. It is the ultimate in playability -- it floats in the pool!

I was lucky to own five of them, 10, 7, 4, 3, and 2. But I can not believe three other vehicles I had did not make the list, the Thunderclap, the Mean Dog, and the Rolling Thunder. Oddly though, my favourite/most played with/oldest two were the Vamp Jeep, while towing the Cobra ASP. (don't ask, I was a kid!) These were great toys, I miss them...

I also liked that weird Joe transport with six wheels that held like 16 figures.

I actually had the shuttle portion of the Defiant complex set, by itself... I don't recall at all how it came into my possession, as a kid. Probably gifted, possibly second hand, as I'm honestly not sure if you could get it as a separate piece or not. But, as a scifi fan, it very often became an integral part of my recreation of the opening to the original Planet of the Apes, vis a vis my parents' pool -- or the bathtub -- and 'escaping a sinking starship' sequences like that seen in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Yes, yes, it's true. I really *was* that dope, even as a kid already.

Dame !! Bringing back a lot of memories most of these toys I wanted so badly when I was a kid. WoW the 80s .

Perhaps it is the intrigue having never owned it, but the Mauler always seemed so cool. And the Dragonfly. Again though, never owned it.

The video I have longed for....however, I was expecting just Joe with a separate and Empire Strikes Back better than the first one Cobra only follow up.

Dude no glider? A vehicle that was real? Come on.

Cobra's Hammerhead was my favorite. A giant tank with five additional, attachable water vehicles. The thing was a beast.

Brilliant and spot on Maverick impression. Just needed that smirk.

I liked steelers tanks and the Mobat tank. They should off been on the list

Such spooky Thanksgiving decorations!

You kinda forget the things you played with and trashed over and over till it was just a shell and then it just disappeared or mom threw it away, until I seen them here. Thanks for bringing back old memories.

I always loved the VAMP. Based on the Lamborghini Cheetah.

I'd have switched the motorcycle out for the snowmobile.

Dragonfly beats firebat

This guy knows his Joes, good call having sky striker on the list !

Many of my friends had several of those vehicles, with only the Sky Striker left out of the mix between us. And although I eventually traded other toys for the Tomahawk, the only vehicle I received new was the Rolling Thunder. The whole idea of launching a pair of ICBMs from a mobile launch platform was too fun to ignore. I was very fond of that monster, and still smile when I think of the fun I had with it.

Dragonfly didn't make the cut..

No Mobat? How many toys cheated us with fake plastic tracks? The Mobat was the real deal.

I had 1988 Gi joe Rollingthunder & 1990 General. I think Rollingthunder should be on the list. Miss my favorite toy. Happy 30th Rollingthunder! :)

The W.H.A.L.E, Tomahawk, and Raven were among the few Joe Vehicles I could never get my parents to buy but I had the Sky Striker.

No dragonfly?!!!

Great job showing the actual toy for a few seconds only

1. Moray Hydrofoil 2. AWE striker 3. Rattler 4. Whale 5. Hiss tank 6. HAVOC 7. Tomahawk 8. Night Raven 9. Trouble bubble 10. Water moccasin/ armadillo tank

I loved the Dragonfly. All of these bring back amazing memories.

Hell yeah vehicles!!!

I agree... USS Flagg, not a vehicle.

The HISS was the best! The Vamp was my second favorite. Third is perhaps an oddity but it was the APC. Man I loved that thing!

Another amazing video. Great job on the list. I think you hit it dead on. Love knowing that I have 7 out of 10 of these vehicles in my personal collection. Cobra always had the best vehicles.. love the Trouble Bubble and Ferret as well ;)

You put the ram over a space shuttle complex??? Really?!

FAIL! The MOBAT should have beat some of these easily. It was battery operated, moving on its own. Rattler should be #1.

Outstanding video, such a cool channel man, cool vintage toys and humor that actually is funny, good job!!

So many of these List videos make me laugh out loud year after year. Hopefully make more of these with that witty humor soon.
