Vangelus Review 58 - GI Joe Rise of Cobra Destro

[PlagueIndustry]

"You have no soul." Either this is a review from the Auxiliary Vangelus that smells like bacon and dental drills or the Subtitles just crossed a major line.

[botswanky]

Please do more Gi Joe reviews, maybe some vintage?... only if you feel like it, of course :)

[Archangel3583]

Love the captions.

[TruetheMovieReviewer]

I just got this Destro in a secret santa thing but he was put together with 2 right hands

[DCMarvel2009]

Who is typing those words doing the review? You?

[munnypantz]

Wait you can SAVE money?!

[shadowalchemywol3]

do you think you could review the destro iron grenaiders three pack?

[dispencor]

It's Christopher Eccleston, the 9th Doctor!!!

[wookiebigfoot]

Vange1us do you happen to have a vintage destro just curious

[Vange1us]

I don't, the closest I have are some 90's Destros that are in a random box somewhere

[NightAdder2k]

that is very weird packaging with the other language in arizina we have english only coolvid

[LaddieGalicia]

Woah its the Doctor

[clarke911000]

u should get the medevil figures from from movie

[nightslash3535]

OMG A NAZI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DieAtomik]

That's what makes him so awesome.

[Toomnyusernae]

I enjoy your way of talking during reviews. It makes the toys that much funner to play with it seems.

[OrcWyvern]

man, I love that pose at 6:45, it's awsome pose to display Destroy =)

[ichgwoemul]

Just saw the movie, made me wanna buy this and a couple other toys. I am a little weirded out by Destro's face, though. But I love Christopher Eccleston. :D

[roryos]

Where can I buy a blaster thingamadoo?

[krakendude2]

YAY DESTRO! i hope to see more G.I. Joe reviews from you soon. also, dont let the baroness meet blackarachnia, or, um, uhhh... what, carlton(walks away)?

[crabheart]

cobra might be fooked up.. but destro. omfg the hottest shyt ever. no more pimp jacket and the awsome nazi jacked.

[guReMcO]

I know what you mean about the money saving. I was planning to save some money (to buy transformers, but hey it's a start) but then I saw these figures and...well...I MUST HAVE EM!!! Well at least one of em.

[Plasticdoll3001]

U are 25 years old now.

[IHS7]

BORN in 84? WTF! No wonder... Most of you fanboys are NOOBS

[ShockGuey5173]

Only idiots use the word noob

[IHS7]

And only super-homo's write "Gay" as "Guey"

[ShockGuey5173]

gb2 XboxLive

[amitamaru]

To whoever operates the subtitles. Buy a shock collar for Van here to control his money spending habits.

[kaizer3000]

i am so annoyed knowing hasbro made them GIJOE toys so friggin nice compared to transformers...

[unicronthechaos11]

every body deserves a over sized cannon also know as a bfg (big frigin gun)

[T16skyhopp]

Hasbro does great packaging.

[Khrome1]

also.. his head just isnt shiny enough

[Khrome1]

On a related note.. Mighty Muggs Destro is awesomeness

[nakobass28]

I jumped on the GIJOE Bandwagon to, so I can't throw stones.

[Gothganon]

Let's do the Time Warp again?

[SiamanoAkechi]

dammit, I was on the fence about getting Destro but now I'm starting to fall over the other side, thanks to you.

But yeah, I'm like you in that I never cared much for GI Joe but I always took a bit of a shine to Destro. Hell, there's that gold face Iron Grenadier 2-pack at TRU that's been tempting the hell out of me for a loooooong time. And I agree wit you, the titanic cartoony missile launchers are hilariously awesome tho I would prolly give mine to my X-Men Origins Deadpool.

[PassionOfDeo]

I wasn't going to get into this line, then you post this.

We shall see...

[CobraCommanderTFW]

ah thats pritty cool man, should pick urself a cobra commander lol hes looking so bad.

Oh think of the vids you could make with a mole pod vid

[armorhide]

you cant save money because you have no will power XD

[OptimusScourge76]

Yeah, I got sucked into buying a lot of this line, myself...

[Skullgrin140]

lol, great review as always mate. Also Destro looks the shit, I havent got any G.I. Joe figures, but since the movie is coming out I might consider getting some.

[t0d51]

at 2:37 ಠ_ಠ lol

[navigatorhat]

ROFL

I know exactly how you feel. Late '83 born too.

With my penchant for Gundam, Transformers, Macross and Kamen Rider, the last thing I need is another toy line to get into.

But goddamn those Accel suits and Ninjas are awesome!

ps: Destro is extra awesome now. He's The 9th Doctor!

[ce2know7]

Very cool looking Destro collection you have there Van.

[JetStreaker]

You can not resist!.. I tried.. told myself, "ill just get one.. cut to 20 figures 3 weeks later. Oh Hasbro, the things you do to me.

[DMSL2007]

Nice review dude. That Destro with the half red cape in the back looks really nice.

About that big missile launcher of inevitable doom, it does look very convincing the way you posed him.

[megas2468]

At 6:20 lol all the way (^^)

[ObakeOnna]

Yay for a completely new toyline! :D

I mean, a toyline you haven't reviewed before. Here's hoping for some more Joe reviews from you. GO SPEND THAT MONEY!

[SEANxLONG]

COBRA! Excellent Review! I agree on the huge missile launchers they make me smile

[Eucep]

Luckily, I can easily save money on these, I really don't give a hoot about the whole franchise. I had a grand total of one GI Joe craft in the past (that huge blackbird like plane) and even threw away the figure it came with.

[Pwner57]

i cant save money either man, neither can i

[valentine75]

the odd looking gun is a fn p90 they featured a lot on stargate sg-1

[genebarry88]

its packaged like that in australia as well

[jaxom]

you planning to get snakeeyes?

the one with the trenchcoat is badass

[Cnidarious]

blaster thingamado looks like a revamped P-90 sort of.

[Keroshino]

hey vangelus...welcome to the addiction!!! XD

[JediJennifer]

Subtitles i salute you! you make my day!

[Shawshankdude2005]

6:19 Its moments such as those that make your reviews the best!

[Cybertronnews]

lol I love the ending. Hasbro is consuming our cash!

[TsunogaiDanshaku]

I feel your pain, Vangelus. Why did they have to release so many Final Fantasy *and* Dragon Quest games this year? Gah!

[ZakuMatt]

I have the gold Iron Grenadier Destro

[BeatlesDiva]

Wow! There's a phallic symbol if I ever saw one!

(I'm speaking of the missile launcher and not you btw)

:-P

[FrogsAmok]

I still say that they should change the name of the movie to "Action Movie Film for Theaters: THE MOVIE".

[ZimMan2]

I also find those large guns to be rather hilarious. I might buy one of these figures based on that alone. Although I WAS only going to buy 25th Anniversary Cobra Commander. I have too many toy purchasing plans. None of them are going to follow through though.

[straker454]

I just want an unmasked Destro so i can have a Chris Eccleston head to make a custom 3 3/4 inch 9th Doctor XD

[Buzzbeak]

I like the eyes myself.

[TheFinalSaint]

never was a G.I Joe fan until my cousin evilly flashed his collection during my youth. Now I can finally own some figures xD. I got duke and he is undoubtedly one of the best marine figure one could have.. Anyway again WICKED review and compared to the other 3-4 out there Vange1us wins again =).

[TheFinalSaint]

oh just a idea if you are going to log that "Thing" off. Keep it and you can like make it look like Destro is relodin in a firefight or something. Or you could make a fancy hat or horse shoe. Just some ideas =)

[OneThatIs]

You made his stand look like a surf board when finagling... Oh ho! Think of that! Destro on a surf board...

So... you'd go out and get a double? Just because it's Destro... yesss.

White out eyes? ..mmMaybe? At least he doesn't look like the Terminator and T-1000 for a head.

He would look great with Swindle! The two dealers... to, uh, help you save money of coarse!

[ncstatester]

Very cool! I could see him saying "Hi, I'd like to make a withdrawal"

[Unicronsupreme]

Did you do the last Hailstorm foursome review?

[Vange1us]

It's not up yet- I'm trying to alternate between Transformers and other stuff

[Unicronsupreme]

Ohkay good. I was just worried that I'd somehow missed it.

[SuperFireDagwon]

Not into the GI Joe line myself, but I do kinda like the Destro, but I would have preferred his mask to be removable.

That way if I got tired of Destro, I could pop off the mask and OOH! LOOK! It's the 9th Doctor!! Yay!!!!!!

Why the lack of Who love for us (kinda sorta) Joe fans Hasbro???

[TheHelldragon]

I bet that, because of this review, more GI Joe fans are gonna keep their oversized missile launchers just because you said you liked them :V

[IdiocyOverdose]

Not having seen the movie I would assume that gun has a stock on the end, not an ammo magazine.

[Decepticon1000]

do you have any cobra commanders?

[Moviestarscreamrulez]

Isn't there only one Cobra Commander?? Do u mean Viper commander???

[Decepticon1000]

i meant different CCs from different line like sigma six and RAH

[mrphan09]

nice review though am not into gi joe figs myself

[CuseFalloz]

storm shadow is sweet too!!
