1984 G.I. Joe Hovercraft Commercial
It has now been more than thirty years since Hasbro brought us the G.I. Joe Whale (yojoe.com page), one of the greatest G.I. Joe vehicles of the eighties. What made the Whale so great? Well, it was one of the earlier large vehicles and had lots of great features like the sled and recon bike, the depth charges, and so many great appearances in Marvel’s G.I. Joe comics that the vehicle was another character all its own.
I never owned a Whale, but I had a friend with one and can remember some great summer days of pushing this toy through the grass and attacking imaginary targets. What a great toy!
