GI JoE Commercial w/ prototypes
 

Found this joe commercial on youtube you can see the figures are production versions the BAT was the one that really made me notice.

Lot of preproduction figures appear in ads. Tomax and Xamot is another one.

Some commercials shared animation with comic book ads, but this one seems to feature original animation of Leatherneck and the outpost defender. Kinda funny selling stationary accessories by pushing the figures (not included) along with them.

The Maggot commercial is interesting, the gun turret part is animated flipping its legs down, the part underneath drives off. THE TOY DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY!

The Mamba commercial, the copter pwns three HAVOCS. I'm amused the way whatever is introduced that year will kick the freakin' butt of older product.

Tiger Force...Tiger Rat's shown chasing Stilleto...yeah, that wouldn't last.

what a great commercial. I wish I was joe size. lol

I always liked the Outpost Defender and the Suerveillance Outpost.

TWO OF THE BEST IMO.

How cool is this custom?!
