1984 Cobra H.I.S.S. and ToysRUs
G.I. Joe toys may be tough to find in stores today (search Amazon.com*), but back in 1984 when this ToysRUs ad was new there were G.I. Joe toys in pretty much every store out there. Even hardware stores would carry Hasbro’s G.I. Joe action figures and vehicles, which is something we don’t really see these days.
This is a fantastic ad, and for more of the Cobra H.I.S.S. tank toy check out my two H.I.S.S. tank reviews from the last decade (2008 review, 2009 review). While you read those older reviews I’ll be in the corner thinking through how weird it is that battlegrip.com has been running for so long . . .
