Definitive Best Vehicle/Playset of 1983 Poll

**DarkLordMordred** · 08-07-2023, 08:44 AM

Well, there were two polls this year, so have to group the top vote-getters from each poll together and find out which is truly the best for 1983! The HISS and HQ tied on one poll, while the Skystriker ran away with the win on the other, so it'll be interesting to see how it goes, now that all three are in the same poll.

I voted for the HQ, again. Playsets in G.I. Joe were always just a cut above the vehicles, to me. There was so much more you could do with them and they generally held a lot more figures, as well. Not to mention you could often attach other vehicles or weapons to them and make them even better!

That's how I feel about the Skystriker. It automatically gets my vote. But I will admit that, damn, there were a bunch of other great vehicles and playsets this year.

I voted for the HISS since I can't choose between the Dragonfly and the Skystriker

if jump wasnt there hq would be getting my vote just for that bay that is made so every vehicle not the ram goes into.

It clearly should be the HISS. It's the most iconic original vehicle to GI Joe and it remained relevant throughout every iteration of the franchise.

Still the HQ. Because it was the only HQ I ever got from GI Joe, and because while I'd vote for the HISS, I'm always 100% on the HISS 2 being way better than the HISS 1.

It's near impossible to pick a favorite from '83, they were all awesome. I'm going to take the easy way out and vote for the Joe HQ, mainly on size/play features alone. Plus it doubled as storage...did anyone else ever just toss all their figures in there when you were done playing?

All before my time, but the Skystriker is pretty classic.

HISS. It's just the most iconic to me.
