Behind the scenes of G.I.Joe’s first live-action micro-movie!
G.I.Joe’s 1991 toy commercials changed gears and replaced animation with live-action actors and actresses and life size vehicles. These commercials were serial, a first for G.I.Joe, and told the linear story of G.I.Joe and Cobra battling for control of “Plasmatox.” Filming was completed in December 1990, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada at North Shore Studios, Lot 3, with Cannel Films (now Lions Gate). Kirk Bozigian, former Vice President of Marketing for Hasbro, filmed nearly 3 hours of behind the scenes footage over the 3.5 weeks of filming. 28 years later, he mailed us those tapes. Together, we premiered this nearly 30 year old footage for the first time anywhere at the final Hasbro sponsored G.I. Joe Collectors' Convention. Now the "homefront heroes" can enjoy stories of what happened behind the scenes of G.I.Joe’s first live-action micro-movie! https://youtu.be/-EWyhhXvAh8 Thanks to: Kirk Bozigian, for your trust and friendship. We are honored to help share these stories. The Triangle Joes: Sean J. Burg, Josh Scherer, Chad Hucal, Jim Carlisi, and Benjamin Thomas for filming the event and to Gray Childs for manning the booth in my absence. The JoeCon attendees that attended en masse and fed us good energy throughout the panel. And finally to the GIJoeCon (Official) for giving us a fantastic time slot before Kirk's and Larry's panel (more to come on that panel at a later date!). |

Great stuff!
Roger Cross as Cobra Commander! He appears in every Vancouver shot tv show these days! Mattel was quite the petty rival! |

That was interesting, building life size joe vehicles and sets, pretty cool. They were trying to revitalize the brand and looked like they were doing a good job.

Really interesting video. Congrats to all involved.
When you see old shots of Mr. Bozigian you realise how much they nailed the Law figure/card art for likeness in ‘86! |
