1988 G.I. Joe Toy Commercial With Sketch Animation

All of the G.I. Joe toy commercials are fun to watch, but this 1988 commercial featuring the Cobra Adder, Destro Despoiler, and the R.P.V. is especially fun because some of the segments of animation are in a rough, sketchy style. I’ve no idea if that style of animation is much cheaper to produce, but at a guess I would imagine those sketch scenes cost a lot less than the cartoon-quality animation that also appears in the commercial.

If you want to see even more of these toys I suggest yojoe.com’s 1988 vehicles section. Pics, blueprints, and even box images are there and ready to keep you smiling for hours.
