Mike Ts Forgotten Figures – The 1985 G.I.Joe Transportable Tactical Battle Platform

Posted on August 22, 2017 at 10:20 am by C.I.A.D. under G.I. Joe Vintage

Mike T. stopped by to share the latest entry in his Forgotten Figures series. This time around, we get in-depth with the 1985 G.I.Joe Transportable Tactical Battle Platformaka the TTBP!

The G.I. Joe line was originally conceived as a series of vehicles. They were high profit toys for Hasbro. However, the figures that were designed to interact with those vehicles turned out to be massively popular. But, the vehicles remained a vital part of the line’s overall profitability. As the line progressed, the scale and audacity of the vehicles grew as well. Each year, Hasbro was able to produce vehicles that outdid the year before. In 1985, though, the bar was raised as high as it could go. Along with the excellent Moray and Mauler, Hasbro pumped out the unprecedented USS Flagg. The 7 1/2 foot behemoth remains the flagship for the Joe line: both literally and figuratively. Lost in between massive carrier and the amazing higher end vehicles, though, is the Transportable Tactical Battle Platform. Despite its lack of an included figure, the TTBP (for short) is on par with Hasbro’s other releases and is an excellent example of the overall vehicle quality that dominated the Joe line.

    This week I look at the 1985 Parachute Pack Mailaway:

    Forgotten Figures: 1985 Parachute Pack - Mail Away

    A neat little toy, though it has some limitations.

    This week's profile is of the 1994 Shadow Ninja Snake Eyes figure:

    Forgotten Figures: 1994 Shadow Ninja Snake Eyes

    The different construction lessens the figure, but the design is kind of fun and would be a great Snake Eyes if it was standard design.

    This week showcases the 1984 Battle Gear pack: a great idea often poorly executed.

    Good idea, bad execution.

    This week's profile is of the Street Fighter Movie Edition Dhalsim figure:

    Forgotten Figures: Dhalsim - Street Fighter Movie Edition

    Odd construction, but a solid look for a villain that's somewhat useful to have.

    This week is the Plastirama Airborne from Argentina named Condor:

    Forgotten Figures: Condor - Argentine Exclusive Airborne

    I love the Airborne mold. But, the low quality of this figure was kind of a bummer.

    This week's profile is the 1988 Toxo Viper

    Forgotten Figures: 1988 Toxo Viper

    He's a chilling concept, if a bizarre in execution.
