HCC788 - 1986 Ranger BEACH HEAD - Vintage G. I. Joe toy review! HD S02E08

Beachhead was one of my favorites, along with Leatherneck, Dial tone, and Falcon, and Tunnel Rat.

I never had Beachhead as a kid. I found mine a few years ago in a thrift shop with a broken O ring and crotch for $2. He now travels with me on vacations and hikes. I have a photo book of all his adventures.

for some reason..as a kid he was never one of my favs. now seeing it again....i can't believe how awesome he is. total badass. i may have to look into getting him again.

It's a cool nod in the clip Beach Head respects the MP the most.

This was the first G.I.Joe figure I got! I remember that it was bought for me as a present one day after my sister was born!

My favourite Gi-joe figure. Me & my brother fought over this guy! Excellent vid.

Beach Head is just badass, I used his magazine pouch as a Sachual charge.

I love this guy, one of the coolest action figures to own.

Beach Head was one bad ass Joe.

Love the G.I. Joe ranking system of Hawk, Duke, Flint and Beach Head. Which works for the simplicity of the cartoon. But the file cards say it's Hawk, Doc(cpt), Ace (cpt), Lt. Falcon (1LT), Steeler (2LT), Wild Bill(CWO), Flint, Gung-Ho (E8), Duke (E7), and then Stalker, and Beach Head by tenure. I'm sure there's more in there, and I might of shuffled a couple, but that just off the top of my head.

Good review of a great character, cool action figure! Beach Head was as serious as a heart attack! I wonder if he'll be in the third live action movie.

Beachhead was badass in comics and tv series 80... My favorite is the comic pack that comes with dataframe or mainframe

Beach Head was the second G.I. Joe action figure I owned. Really enjoyed how he was one of the tough guys of the team being an Army Ranger. Loved his accessories, especially the details on his backpack* and his 9mm submachine gun. The details on the figure are included from his 75th ranger patch to the beret on his left shoulder. Very pleased that Hasbro continues to make action figures of him, I even like his version two action figure from 1993 despite the brighter colors. *most fellow collectors believe that the object on the right side of backpack is a grappling hook and rope line, which is what I have always believed it to be since my childhood.

Beach Head is my all time favorite! I love YL the Classified line Beach Head too.

I loved this character when I first saw him ironically it was the G.I. Joe the Movie I first saw him in the Philippines we saw the movie first before they finally showed the second season which is odd. Still no matter what Beachhead was one of the good things of the movie.

Great stuff was a very early buy from the iconic 1986 line for me as a kid. Was always the first guy on the ground and I loved the Cobra like look with the mask. I did suffer broken hands on mine due to the brittle plastic some were made with (Same problem was the strap breaking on the ammo pouch on mine!) but with the Internet got replacement arms and back he went into a state of readiness. It was also worth pointing out that he was very macho about the US Army and frequently got into scuffles with Gung Ho and Mainframe over his dislike for the Marines as I recall. And yes the modern reboot was a rare case they captured all the classic elements. I hold them both very dear. Thanks AGAIN for really capturing the passion and interest many of us have for these guys beyond a simple toy!

One of my favourites when I was a kid, I always liked his look.

I'm thinking the equipment on his back is a type of MICLIC for clearing beaches of mines and IED's.

One of my favorite Joes!

when he came out i didnt like him too much, until i got another firefly. then i realized how similar they are and paired them. then shockwave came out and he has a similar appearance. yes, i broke cannon lore and teamed all three together as commandos/saboteurs. a kick ass team i thought.
