Definitive Best Vehicle/Playset of 1984 Poll

**DarkLordMordred** · 08-22-2023, 06:50 AM

I was considering whether or not to do this poll, knowing full well that the WHALE would likely run away with it, but what the hell.

It's unsurprising that I'm choosing the WHALE as the Definitive Best Vehicle of 1984.

i never knew how much i liked the skyhawk until i put two sky patrol and two of the modern ones together. it's a neat little vehicle. i love the sky patrol one. it just makes a bunch of sense.

sure they're not 1984, but this is the one that started it all.

I LOVE the Sky Hawk, especially the newer versions. I think the way the cartoon portrayed them skiing through the swamp was really cool. Did you know that the Sky Hawk shows up in a Star Wars kid's book with Mace Windu piloting it?!

But for me, the Killer WHALE is the best Joe vehicle ever! As I mentioned in the other poll, it is the Millennium Falcon of the GI Joe universe. It was both a large vehicle and a playset combined into one. You had the cockpit/bridge, the two gunners stations, the battle cannons & missiles, not to mention the mini bike and recon sled. Then you even had the cargo/personnel hold -- AND it worked on water and land!

I'd have to do some digging online to try to find a pic, but it was in a Star Wars children's book and it shows Mace Windu in a space ship that looks exactly like the Sky Hawk.

Three days to go and only 16 votes, so far. Still anyone's game!
