1983 G.I. Joe Glider Toy Commercial

The best part of Hasbro’s G.I. Joe toy commercials during the eighties had to be the animation. Most of the commercial featured a few seconds of vehicles attacking, soldiers screaming, and laser blasts everywhere to get us all charged up and excited and ready to buy toys. I say “most” because this 1983 commercial for the glider toys (which get a tiny bit of space in The Ultimate Guide to G.I. Joe 1982-1994*) doesn’t have any animation at all. What?!?!?! Hasbro, you’ve failed us all.
