These commercials fueled a young boy’s dreams… my dreams. My era of G.I. JOE was all about adventure. War was something that everybody wished to forget. This my explain a bit of the “extreme” sports that my generation got into as we grew older.
Many thanks to It Came From Blog for sharing this video on Twitter, and taking me way back.
I LOVED the Adventure Team when I was a kid. I had only one Joe (still have him… he’s had some rough play over the years) and various outfits. I remember playing with the neighbor who had several Joes, the copter, the Secret of the Mummy’s Tomb set, and others.
