Gi Joe 12 Inch Navajo Indian Navaho Code Talker Figure: Says 7 Different Phrases! In Najavo Code and English!

this is just one of those things that appealed to me. I collect action figures, but I also like a lot of gadgets with it. The sound is surprisingly clear, and I can tell it's an older man speaking Navaho. I don't like to keep the soldiers in their box and it startled me when I raised his arm to free him. He doesn't have the usual GI Joe face, which is good; he deserves a unique face. He can't hold the phone or rifle, as in the pic, but I know how to remedy that. Place his hands for a few secs in just-boiled water, and gently squeeze. Yeah, ouch, but that's if you want to pose him on the shelf. Why leave him in the box when he's got all those points of articulation?

Another classic Gi Joe to add to your collection. The only issue I had was the battery didn't work. So I went to a battery store. It works great and speaks like seven different phrases. I would highly recommend this product .

Though a very small minority, the deeds of the Navajo Indian infantry men are uniquely remembered for their communication-skills - talking in their native language to help confuse the ever-listening Japanese soldiers.

Very disappointed in this item. It arrived with installed batteries that had corroded ruining the connection and making this Navajo Talker useless. This was purchased as a birthday gift for my nine year old grandson. Disappointing gift and waste of money

didnt talk,installed new batteries.seller claimed to have contacted.that was false.

We did have to replace the batteries, but it works great! My 8 year old loves it. He got it for Christmas (2018)

I lucked out and my 'used' doll in the box had 3 actual signatures of real USMC Navajo Code talkers.There is so much history about this item it is hard to say where to begin. First it is a durable GI JOE full size figure. Second it is a limited edition collectors edition. Third it says words in English and Navajo. It is older and I had to replace the batteries. (came out in the 1999). The Navajo code talkers put together a code to confuse the Japanese and it was NEVER broken.More of the history is being displayed at the Phoenix Heard Museum starting in November 2012. Check out the movie Windtalkers and read about this history. There are still living code talkers around and many documentaries. So I am not EVEN trying to write a history. I am just saying get this doll.

The kids like GI Joes and this one blew their socks off! They were so impressed with it, they researched information about the Code Talkers. Talk about educational toys!
