So GI Joe's gone.

And they said, well, give it a keyboard so it looks like a computer.

It'll have a little cassette disk drive.

But again, you said it accounted for like 66% of Hasbro's sales just in the first year.

It'll be able to do some stuff.

But they bundled it with all kinds of fun stuff.

And he was a hit year after year after year for many years, right?

It had a joystick.

It had a keyboard, like a musical keyboard.

And it had this wireless, which we'll explain how all this works in a little bit.

Yeah.

And even when they brought them back, sales were terrible compared to the initial stuff, but they were still making money off of them, right?

It's pretty cool.

But it had a little ray gun, a little zapper.

So this first, the world's first action figure made a huge impact.

Yeah, and you really said a mouthful with the word wireless, man.

And when the world's first action figure wasn't around anymore, well, there was a void that was to be filled.

This was 1985, and this advanced video system came out with wireless controllers.
