80's G I Joe

[Beatles Guy]

The 80's stuff does well, especially the first ones from the early 80's with "straight" arms.

The black jet on the top row. My favorite toy as a kid. Also if you have the pilots that thing is worth a pretty penny.

I know I have the pilots for that and the people for other stuff as well. That black jet is huge, its 27" long.

I also have the ID cards for almost all the people. Took me a couple hours to match them up today. Now for the real fun part I need to match up the weapons and backpacks for all of them. I am guessing it will take quite some time.

Anybody know the best way to clean up old plastic toys like these. The action figures are not bad but the bigger toys are covered in dust. I used my air compressor with a small blow nozzle but that only removed the loose stuff. Thanks for any help.

Here's some links to some G.I. Joe sites you may find helpful:

You can probably clean the vehicles carefully with a lightly damp sponge or rag, don't overdo it on the areas with stickers. Complete loose vehicles and figures with all their accessories and in nice condition sell best. The Cobra Night Raven jet, G.I. Joe Killer W.H.A.L.E. hovercraft, Cobra Moray Hydrofoil, and G.I. Joe Tomahawk helicopter are the best vehicles in your group.
