 Hello everybody hooded Cobra Commander 788 here, and this is just a quick look at Scoop, G.I. Joe's combat information specialist, basically a combat reporter from 1989. For this I have to give a little nod to Rob from the G.I. Joe Berg podcast, Scoop is his favorite character, and we both happened to pick up a Scoop action figure at Jocon. For the same reason, we needed to get that elusive microphone, Scoop comes with a ton of accessories, and that's fine so long as the accessories make sense for the character. And fortunately for Scoop, his accessories make sense. He came with a black pistol for self-defense in combat as he's taking his pictures with his camera, a very large camera here, and it's connected by a black hose to this device on his leg. This probably is in some way connected to this big transmitter on his back. That also would make sense, he probably would want to send a live feed of his video back to base. Then of course he had a helmet that had a removable microphone, and that is always the hardest piece to find. Scoop has a pretty good head sculpt, and of course this head sculpt is based on a real person, the reporter Mike Leonard, and even the file card makes a reference to that with his file name being Leonard Michaels. I have to hand it to this figure, there are some amazing details on this figure. Just look at all the sculpted accessories on his chest, he's got binoculars, he's got an extra camera with a strap, he has an empty holster presumably for this pistol, even though really it's not the right size, but you know that does happen. He's got electronic devices and straps all over him, some pockets on his arms, an electronic device on his left arm, and really overall if I were just looking at the sculpt, I'd say this is a great figure, but what absolutely cannot be ignored is the color, he is wearing yellow and he is a combat information specialist, and to my knowledge combat reporters would prefer not to be shot in the field. I'm not quite ready to do a full review on Scoop yet, but I will eventually get to it and I'm looking forward to it. There is a lot to say about this figure and the character as he was depicted in the cartoon and the comic book, and as a combat reporter Scoop has a special place in the lineage of G.I. Joe since the name G.I. Joe was taken from the movie The Story of G.I. Joe which was about a combat reporter named Ernie Pyle. I look forward to doing the full review on Scoop, but I hope you're satisfied with this quick look for now. I'd like to thank everyone who watches these videos and I'd like to thank my patrons.
