 according to this thing we are live let's see let's see if this actually works it's been a while since I've done this so let's see here everything seems to be all right oh except I'm snake eyes I probably shouldn't be talking oh except I'm movie snake eyes so I can talk as much as I want all right let's let's see here if this worked and I should be able to go to here and here and there cool right and then wow it's really hard to see in this it is like really hard to see okay and see here we do the Twitter here that should work and we do the Facebook or meta or whatever the heck is called now this here and then there we go that should in theory work okay cool all right we are live okay it has been a while since I've done this so I have to like re-learn how to do like basic things let's see here so if we go over here okay that should tell me what we've got and I'm not sure the chat is working so let's do something about that let's fix that there we go and okay so we go back over here okay I think I can I think we have some live chats now okay cool let's see hang on a second everybody bear with me just for a moment okay and Michael Bassett says greetings HCC good to see you again greetings to you as well I happen to be snake eyes and I have taken over this broadcast unfortunately snake eyes can talk now so you know that's no problem hello sparkster Jason lateral and skunk and Daniel and okay all right all right the truth is wow that really messed up my hair the truth is I'm not actually snake eyes I know that it's it's easy to make that mistake because snake eyes

it doesn't even cover like all of my face and like it's got a nose piece here that like for an adult it would be a little bit lower down and because of that it kind of it wants to sit a little high so it's really hard to see through I don't know how snake eyes can be a top level ninja wearing this thing hello Doug Adello nice to see you yeah the gang's all here that's awesome yeah thank you David welcome back to everyone else as well Mateo thanks for showing up always welcome newcomers I'm glad you're here I am also a newcomer hello big daddy and the killer weasel it's really cool it's nice to see just some familiar names on the screen right now people that I have missed a great deal so I brought some activities for you guys I brought some activities we're gonna be together for the next hour and I've got stuff to do oh man I didn't bring okay I didn't bring a sharp object anyway well I'll get to that in a minute I'll get to that minute I have a sharp object over there anyway yeah fitness Frank hello and Strider and again Sparster Cobra Island yeah the gang's all here Exploriso and Brian Bruiser that's that's it's really cool to see everybody so even though I've been away I have been paying attention to what's been happening in GI Joe I haven't been following it as closely as I would have before but I've still been following and let me do this because I'm the there we go now we can see your little avatars there we go but I have been paying attention I did see the Snake Eyes movie and I have some feelings about that have some thoughts about that but in addition to that I picked up Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow so what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna open these later I know they're not vintage but but they'll do for now of course I still prefer vintage and I this is still a vintage GI Joe toy channel but for the moment my vintage collection is a bit of a jumble so I'm gonna get back to that but in the meantime until I figure out what the next vintage review will be and how exactly I'm going to do it I'm I've got a couple of things to just kind of fill the time a couple of things like this so we will look at these a bit later I'm gonna open those up and we're gonna go check them out hello peg warmers nice to see you always welcome peg warmers Matthew yeah so hey there's Ryan nice to see Ryan yeah so this is cool and it's kind of cool to see yeah it's kind of cool to see you know just everybody here it's like no time has passed that's just really cool so yeah I've got stuff to do and and I've got stuff to show you but we're we'll we'll get to that in a minute now we will be unboxing these because I you know I haven't opened them yet and I I want I want to take a look at them but in addition to that today I picked up the Snake Eyes movie Baroness because I'm also curious about this now for those who prefer vintage GI Joe do not be alarmed so do I and we are getting back to vintage as soon as I possibly can but in the meantime while I am you know getting the vintage collection back in order hello GI Gary nice to see you and Matthew Phil Pot thank you and Bob's dungeon hey dude and rebel dad I think I said hi to rebel dad but if I didn't hello Carlo Vera nice to see you and Glenn Robbins hey nice to see you as well yeah actually Timmer good point Glenn Timmer reviewed this and his video review of this figure went up today so that's actually a great thing if you want to get a closer look at this figure since I won't be taking a closer look at this figure Timmer has the review of this that is live right now hello Mal yeah the removable sunglasses yeah so I mean I might I mean I might do like just to compare and contrast between the Cobra Island target exclusive Baroness just to see what the differences are but honestly it looks like a totally different figure it I I'm not sure that it shares any parts but well I'll take a look at it I'll take a look at it side-by-side hello Jason good to see you as well Bryce see Leah nice to see you are the live streams going to continue yes and I'm gonna get back to doing them on a regular basis we may for a little while until I get things reorganized we may have more live streams than we have actual reviews but we're getting back to the reviews I'm working on it it's just a bit of a challenge because when I moved into the space I had less space and I just kind of had to cram my collection into just every nook and cranny where it would fit and it's unfortunately very disorganized hello Doug Delo it's very disorganized so I have to have to kind of reorganize it before I can do a review it's it's a mess it's what I'm saying it's a mess but fortunately a live stream like this is much easier to do and I don't have to you know I don't have to like grab a bunch of toys out of the closet or something to do it hello Joe fan hello Shane and Rick and Matt Rubin yeah so I've missed doing this I've really missed talking to you guys and coming to you guys and you know weekly basis and I want to do that again there were a number of occasions where I really just wanted to get back to live streaming but circumstances kind of held me back but I'm I'm not letting circumstances hold me back anymore I'm really trying to power forward hello draws and Cyclonus and he man nice to see you guys John Ulrich nice to see you as well the kids are destroying the house well you should probably take care of that yeah so yes so but we have things to talk about okay we have plenty to talk about a lot has transpired in the world of the GI Joe since I was here last so there yeah there's plenty to talk about hello Game Masters hobby nice to see you I missed you as well hello Eric and Bradley a good evening yeah so and Diego nice to see you as well so yeah we're we're we're doing what we can until we can get back fully in the swing hello Steve nice to see you as well until we get fully in the swing and get back to a routine we're just gonna do whatever we can right we're just gonna do the best we can and work with what we have hello Daniel and Chris Chris mc83 nice to see you sir and star grave hello as well so oh yeah Michael mentions the has lab sky striker oh and Ryan sends a super chat that says welcome back hoodie Coco thank you very much and thanks thanks for remembering the nickname I like that one thank you Ryan and it's it's been nice to that Ryan has kind of kept up as well so thank you for thank you for being a friend Ryan and thank you to everyone who has been a friend through difficult times so I really do appreciate it a lot and that that means a lot and somebody is saying hi to GI Joberg to GI Joberg sneak in here and I missed it if I miss GI Joberg hello GI Joberg hi missed you guys too so oh and Bradley sends a $25 super chat doesn't ask a question but thank you for the super chat thank you Brad Bradley good is in fact good the the aptly named Bradley good so yeah there we go and happy accident nice to see you as well thank you Joe fan you guys were missed too oh and Pete Jesse James since the super chat says I genuinely grateful to see you back here's a little something for the collection thank you the the collection greatly appreciates it and greatly needs it so thank you sorry it says hoodie Coco is a seriously rad nickname I believe I do believe it was Chris from comic tropes who came up with that one hey there's Joberg and it's Steve hello Steve it's thank you Steve by the way Steve I know that you sent me a very kind message that not not long ago and I unfortunately I didn't reply because you know I just wasn't in a good place at the time but I did want to tell you how much that mean meant to me and and how much I appreciate it and in fact I've received messages from people that have been very kind and I've not been good at replying but but it has helped it has made a difference so thank you to everyone who has reached out the killer weasers sends a super chat ever thought about doing a review on the live stream yes actually that's something that I may do at some point in the future I think in order to do a review I need a better camera the webcam here is just it's a little sketchy not quite the quality I would want it to be for a review however I've had my eye on a better webcam that could work for that so if we have a little bit of an equipment upgrade that's something I would consider doing so like so like when we open these guys I'll show them to you I'll you know I'll take all the bits out and I'll take all the bits out and you know we'll look at them but it's you know it's not an HD so to do a proper review I just think I need a higher resolution camera so you know if I if I want to like do a more proper full review of these guys I'll use the better camera for that but looking forward though if I can upgrade this webcam to something that has a better resolution that is absolutely something I would like to do hold on a second do okay there we go of course anyway anyway all right what did we miss okay yeah okay cool so yeah we're doing really good we actually got a lot of people in here hello photo viper nice to see you again yes live I and I am alive which some people may have doubted but I am in fact alive believe it or not so yeah we are here and actually I'm gonna stand up for just a second and grab a sharp object because I need to cut the tape on these and we will open those I guess we'll we'll wait till the last half of the hour and then we'll open those and take a look at them hang on one second did I unplug anything okay I've got I've got too many wires just hanging here because I mean I've this is not my usual setup and I'm having to like sort out the live stream and how it it's gonna work it used to be a routine and you know it was very easy but we're having to establish a new routine oh GI claymore says great to see you back HTC all the best from Scotland hello Scotland from the United States nice to see you as well all right and thank you 612 secret rebel I missed you guys too so yeah skunk says have you heard about the new o-ring GI Joe's I have I have and I'm very intrigued I'd like to see yeah my hair still screwed up I would like to see what they look like I'd like to see what the quality is you know I know that we've been clamoring there has been hey there's Kujo hello Kujo nice to see you there has been a clamor for vintage o-ring style GI Joe figures and I remember when the retro line was announced everybody assumed that it would be o-ring figures because hey it's a retro line instead it was modern style figures they announced the they announced the the retro line as being three and three-quarter inch figures but in fact they were not three and three-quarter inch figures the more modern figures are average four inch figures not three and three-quarter so you know the just the way they launched that retro line made everybody expect that we were getting o-ring figures right but that's not what we got well it seems that now we will be getting o-ring figures and I'm just really interested in the construction what material did they use for the o-ring something more durable than rubber I hope you know just how what what's the quality of the construction going to be is it going to be comparable to comparable to the vintage figures or will it be more like the the re-released figures in the the late 90s that used vintage figures molds but had lower quality plastic I'm I'm curious I'm very curious so I'm sure I'll pick up a few I'm sure I will pick up a few so yeah hello Victor thank you for the welcome back and I hope I haven't missed anyone and I wanted to say hi to everyone I picked up to his two today have the retro vehicles they're putting out oh you mean like the oh hold on a second here you mean like this one here there we go so yeah this is another one that I may open up at some point and take a closer look at so yeah there's a there's a bit of the retro so yeah I see I haven't been completely neglecting GI Joe but but yeah I just I it's been on the back burner for a while any interest in the upcoming Super 7 GI Joe figures I'm interested in everything how interested I will be I'm not really sure I've seen what Super 7 has done for some other lines and it could be cool to see what they do with GI Joe so I will probably at least and try to check it out get a sample of figures and just see if you know see if they're you know of such quality hey Nessa nice to see you there's Baranessa hello yeah the trip for those who are unaware I recently took a road trip to the northeast and got to clear my head a little bit and it did help it did help there were times on the trip that was a little bit stressful hello Gray Fox I'm I'm happy to be back as well and you guys have been missed as well but I made it back home I had a lot of time to think to ponder to decide what I'm gonna do and I made some decisions and we're gonna we're gonna be moving forward we've got good things ahead um let's see um wwjd85 says welcome back hello sir uh max ribos ghost music uh hello good to see you as well hello Eric Russ uh thanks I'm glad to be here and I'm glad you are here as well so for those who weren't here earlier um just for the halibut um I got these classified snake eyes movies snake eyes and storm shadow and we are going to um we're gonna take a look at them and we're gonna open them in uh um in a little bit in just a few minutes well when my clock says 730 we will we'll open these guys up um and because I'm curious uh because I have I have classified storm shadow I have several classified snake eyes figures so um I'm curious it as to how these compare with the others um so we're gonna we'll just open them we'll we'll take a look at the accessories um you notice um they each have like um there we go they each have an alternate head that looks like the the actor uh that's um uh and what's his name um Andrew uh I'm blanking on his name the guy that played um Tommy or storm shadow um hang on a second let me look this up real quick because it's gonna bother me if I don't remember his name um uh Andrew Koji thank you very much Andrew Koji yeah Andrew Koji um and um and uh and Henry Golding uh snake eyes so we'll also see uh if they are good likenesses thank you Joe Burke I just took me a minute to figure it out I kind of had a brain fart there I have seen uh snake eyes a few times uh because I wanted to see it a few times before I passed judgment on it um and um see Baroness this says had to paint scarlet's hair because it was orange instead of red yeah that is that is true that she does kind of have an orangey hair um but um uh yeah we'll um we'll look at those here in just a minute um I have some thoughts about snake eyes but I want to I kind of want to put that in a video um I'm hammering out a script for it uh to kind of um and to um make sure that I completely say what I want to say about the movie um one thing that I don't think is uh is controversial to say about the movie is that it was not a commercial success um it was uh yeah it it did not do well at the box office I that is um that is just a fact um so whatever else we may think of the movie um it did not uh it did not blow up uh the box office um and one of the things that I said before the movie came out is that I don't mind them uh straying from the source material and changing things to make it more marketable in the present day I thought that would be fine but the test is going to be will it be accepted by a general audience will people go to see it you know it will it draw in new fans and um I think the we have the answer for that now and the answer is that it did not so um I don't want to go too into it right now uh but uh we'll we'll talk more about that in the future uh Glenn says I'll probably pick up the DVD for it that's a good idea I'm doing that as well um uh and I also like got a digital copy as as well so uh usual my television just another movie uh branded gi joe unfortunately I I'm not sure that I can disagree with that too much I mean um I mean there were some elements in there that were familiar um but uh it it it really did not stand out um and that's unfortunate um but like I said I don't want to go into it too much um right now because first I'm going to sneeze excuse me uh then um I want to go into more depth about it I want to dive into it and and kind of um explore what I want to explore what it did well because I do think it did some things well but I also want to talk about the things that it maybe did not do so well uh which it there were a few things that it did not do so well um so we'll talk about it we'll talk about it um so yeah um wait uh Edward uh says welcome back uh thank you good to see you as well uh bought the movie for 798 uh wallmarks on blu-ray um yeah um haven't seen it yet but still bought it it's you should see it though I mean I I think everyone should at least check it out um I think if you if you see the movie you know well for one thing you'll probably there will probably be a few things that you like about the movie um there were a few things that were pretty cool but I think you'll probably also see why it didn't uh it didn't burn things up it it it really didn't catch fire uh I think you'll get it I think if you watch it I think you'll understand uh just look at it from the perspective of um um look at it from the perspective of like a non gi joe fan like you don't know anything about this you sit down and watch this movie and by the end of it what do you think of it did you like it would you see it again would you tell a friend that hey they need to see this movie hey um Adam says welcome back from New Hampshire uh thank you New Hampshire and hello from the United States um I was actually up your way I went to the New England area um uh what was not last week but the week before so uh just like a couple weeks ago um so uh let's talk about the movie maybe a live commentary uh yes actually that's I was thinking of maybe doing that for the next live stream is just maybe doing a a snake eyes movie watch along so that's something to think about that's something to think about um anyway uh so but we'll talk about it and and I don't want to get too down on the movie because there were some things that I liked very much um but uh yeah we'll we'll discuss it I don't want to get too far into it um in about five minutes we're going to open these guys and see what we think of them they should just be pretty solid um pretty solid classified figures um the obviously the the spare heads in the likenesses of the actors um ties it into the movie but if not for that you know these may be just perfectly fine um classified figures just alternative uniforms for snake eyes and storm shadows so um these may these may be perfectly fine figures these figures may be better than the movie so we'll check them out uh hey Cobra Island uh good to see you as well um somebody's I guess talking about replacement o-rings yeah there there are some options for replacement o-rings but we we also mentioned um we also mentioned that uh new o-ring figures are going to be released and I'm very very interested in seeing how those figures are constructed what the quality is and how they compare with actual vintage figures I am very interested I don't want to see I want to see what they do um anyway Adam um thank you uh thank you Adam that's very kind I really do appreciate that um uh and I'm glad that you're here uh long online says welcome back thank you uh and welcome to here um uh yeah uh let's see Glenn says hopefully you made it to Massachusetts is so um I would have loved to hang out and talk to us I did make it to Massachusetts I'm sorry that I didn't make the time to hang out I did hang out with a couple people um briefly um uh Kevin from Peg Warmers um I was able to meet up with him uh Magnus uh who's been you know a friend of the channel for a really long time uh the timing worked out to hang out with those guys but unfortunately I I wasn't able to uh spend a lot of time with with other people and I I regret that uh but just the timing was was a challenge I was supposed to hang out with Mike from Watson Joe Mind but um but the timing just didn't work I did pass through Indianapolis but I just didn't pass through Indianapolis at a time when when we could connect so but I'll do it again my hope is to do a significant amount of travel and uh you know I'm a Patriots fan so if I ever have a chance to go to another paths game I'll I'll be up in New England again uh so uh yeah yeah um uh so all right where were we uh it's about time to to open these oh um the john ski sends a super chat says yo hcc grits you again we miss you thank you I miss you guys as well um you guys um you have no idea how much you helped um you know keep me afloat through very difficult times and the reason you have no idea is because I didn't tell you because I was a bad friend um I got messages that I didn't reply to and I'm sorry about that and I'm going to try to do better but you guys um you guys have been great um and hey by the way make sure you subscribe to peg warmers uh as well um and thank you peg warmers for for looking out for me but make sure you check out peg warmers uh it's a really great show uh they talk a lot of different tying kinds of toys uh different toy lines uh and it's it's a lot of fun uh and I watch it on a regular basis so um yeah I'm kind of looking forward to getting back to um the community um yes um uh g.i. jober uh magnus a master builder uh yes and he did mention that uh he hung out with you guys in dc as well he did mention that um and yeah I met up with him when I was in washington dc uh that was really cool um so yes that that guy um so uh yeah but if I if I make that trip again I am going to um I'm gonna set aside time uh and try to put together some kind of uh a get together so that anybody who is in the area and has the time uh can just come and hang out I think I would really like that um I have had the privilege of meeting a lot of a lot of viewers uh and uh collaborators and creators uh and youtube people in person that has been very much my privilege uh and I I miss doing that um that's one of the things I loved about going to conventions is just seeing people um and yeah I hope to get back to that um the hoodie one has returned hello man of action uh the man of action has returned uh hello van voltenberg uh it's great to have you back it's really this is this is nice I really wish I hadn't stayed away from this for so long I've missed this I've missed this a lot um but um you know what I haven't missed I haven't missed storm shadow snake eyes so uh let's go ahead and open these up I cut the tape already and we're going to start with uh storm shadow Tommy Arashikage um the uh with the head that's the likeness of Andrew Koji and uh let's let's open this guy up and see what he looks like just slide this out one thing I do like about these um classified boxes is um even though you do have to break the tape to to get the figure out you can put the figure back in and close it and it you know it looks brand new so you can still display the figure in the box after you've taken it out and and looked around and play with it a little bit so anyway um um oh thank you Joe Berg I think I think Joe Berg's um viewership spans at least equally as far um so all right let's take out storm shadow let's let's take out the Andrew Koji head let's start by looking at this I think this is this is a decent likeness it's not bad it's not perfect um I think it's a little bit more rounded than the actor's face is but but not too bad um these let's see hold on a second yeah so here's an issue that I have a lot with with the heads that are in the likeness of actors is that um they tend to they want to put some color in the lips but it's often overdone so it ends up looking like they're wearing lipstick the lip color needs to be a little bit more subtle guys just a little more subtle so anyway uh so that that's that uh we've got what we've got we've got a little little backpack for the swords we have let's go ahead and pull the swords out okay we've got two swords they are a bit flexible not too much uh they're still they still feel solid but they're flexible enough that they won't break so that's nice uh Dale Santaford I don't know if I said hello to you if not hello uh uh Serigil Nass uh hello to you as well Sean Beckett I think you snuck in I'm sorry if I didn't say hi but hello in case I missed you uh hello jump in general uh okay so um I thank you Robert Klein I missed you guys too um uh Sergeant Slaughter Slaughterhouse says who's displaying snake eyes or storm shadow unmasked that's a good question um and uh so that that is a good question all right so here's the figure and this figure on its own you know it's got it's got the uh like the double jointed elbows double jointed knees it's got the classified articulation which is great um it's got it's got the classified detailing which is also great um it's um it's missing some color it this is one reason why that cobra emblem on the uh vintage storm shadow figure was so important because it gave it a little shock of color to break up all the white and this does not have that now of course this figure being based on the movie would not have a cobra emblem on it that that would not reflect how he looked in the movie um but um uh nonetheless just a touch of color somewhere I think would have helped um but what you have is essentially an entirely white or slightly off white uh uniform um now that's not necessarily a bad thing because if you like classified figures uh and you want uh just a cool looking storm shadow you got a great figure here and you can ignore the movie the movie doesn't you can just pretend the movie doesn't exist and have this uh this sweet storm shadow figure uh so let's uh let's put his backpack in um it doesn't it looks like it doesn't matter which direction it goes let's see uh okay try to get this on camera uh could have added the irish akagi clan symbol somewhere see yeah something like that something like that uh i think would have made a difference at least it would have just given it a little something um so let's uh let's see he's right handed so we're gonna tilt that to the right we're gonna put his swords in like so they're actually that i think uh i think they ought to go that way hold on like that's really how they should go uh put the swords in um and that's that's it for for accessories um it's he's got a backpack and he's got two swords and that's it um and that's fine i guess i mean that's all he really needs i suppose um i think one thing they could have worked in a bit uh in the movie and it would have helped the action figure is that storm shadow is uh the master archer so a bow and arrows i think is a good accessory for storm shadow snake eyes was the better swordsman storm shadow was the better archer so yeah um giving him store swords that does reflect um the his weapon of choice in the movie but uh yeah i just associate storm shadow with um uh with archery and i apologize when i'm holding the figure up to this like this to the camera i actually i'm blocking my my view of the live chat so i'm sorry if if you guys are saying something and i'm missing it uh because because like i can't see it because like this is like the live chat is like right there and this guy is like right but right in the way so sorry about that um i don't want i'm not i'm not trying to neglect you guys um but it but i do want to make sure you get a good a good view of the figure um the of course the other accessory is the alternative head and let's see let's see if we can pop this off there we go and pop this on okay easier to pop off than pop on good grief okay mother look i don't want to swear it's a family show but this is making me want to swear hold on um the the primary head was easy to uh pop off but this is being a bitch to put back on okay that's all right that's um that's okay it's on it's on it's on it's on okay so there is the figure with the um the alternate head and i've already spotted a problem okay because uh the head is uh you know flesh colored um which it actually adds a bit of color which is nice but the neck the neck is white um and that just does not look right it looks like his just looks like his neck is painted white it doesn't look like a uniform it doesn't look like cloth you know going up to you up to his chin it looks like a white neck uh it just looks like there's a paint application missing so that's a bit of a problem um so see that so that's a problem with displaying the figure with this head is that it just didn't look right um yeah even the figure doesn't want to be unmasked yeah that's that's what i'm saying so all right come on okay hasbro work with me here okay work with me um so let me pop that off pop this back on so really if you want the figure to look right and not look weird you kind of have to display it with uh the primary head the head that is attached when you take it out of the box um so there's uh a look at storm shadow um and put this back on hold on the backpack does stay in securely i will give it that so there's there's storm shadow uh nicely detailed coloring is a bit bland um and the alternate head just does not work at all um but there you go so that storm shadow now now let's get to the main event the main man snake eyes with henry goulding as snake eyes i i do think henry goulding is a good actor however his role in uh the snake eyes movie as snake eyes was a bit of a challenge for him um anyway again i don't want to go too deeply into it but all right let's uh let's pull this out i do like this there is one thing i like is that is the the background on the storm shadow figure box is black so the white figure stands out in contrast and uh the background on the snake eyes figure is in white so the black figure stands out so that's nice i like that um who said to make oh yeah uh cobra island make a six-inch inch globulus i will get right on that uh nice suggestion um okay so here we have snake eyes and snake eyes um we can see has a few more accessories he does not have any firearms he does not have his uzi or anything similar but he has a couple extra knives um he has a sword and sheaths and he has an alternative head so um that's you know right off the bat is more accessories than uh than storm shadow and i'm sorry if this is in front of the microphone is loud sorry about that hello bad day hey good to see you um oh crap i think i dropped something did i drop something did i drop something i guess not i thought i thought something fell i guess not i don't i guess not so um so here's the figure here is snake eyes um it is a different uniform than um the earlier uh classified snake eyes releases um so that's good they they appear to have used new parts or at least mostly new parts um hitting the like button is half the battle thank you peg warmers um so that's the figure itself it does have a couple straps uh that go you know around the back and kind of a y pattern here uh so that's nice uh it's not only um gives you something extra to play with it also adds a little bit more detail um and this uh is a it's an almost a totally black figure but it does have a couple spots of paint so if you look oops if you look on the chest i can get it out of the way uh oh no that's not paint it's just reflective okay so is the only spot of paint on the belt okay yeah the only spot of paint is on the belt so other than that it this is a totally black figure uh mike adam says welcome back thank you thank you very much and thank you for being here uh custom comic shop says nice to see you it's nice to see you as well it's nice to see everyone um if you're inclined you can swap those accessories out with other figures yes uh you can and that's that may be a good idea um so yeah with this one we also have the nice classified figure articulation this is something i cannot knock the classified figures for the articulation is awesome double-jointed knees double-jointed elbows you got ankles that move every which direction uh head is on a ball joint uh and it tilts so you know good range of motion with the head um so this uh it's not bad um it has the same um it has the same um problem i guess as the the storm shadow figure has uh and that is that it's just basically one uh color but black is if you're going to do a solid color black is a little better than white uh it works a little better uh let's get the accessories out oh i did drop something i the uh the sheath for the for the sword fell there it is i found it i found it okay all right disaster averted so we have a sword and i think this is the same sword mold uh yeah it's the same sword they use for storm shadow it's just it's just different colors so we have a sword we have a sheath with a peg uh let's put that in there yeah it fits pretty nicely it actually doesn't want to go completely in there's a little bit of a gap there yeah see that slight gap there but i guess that's all right um and let's see so on the straps in the back there's a hole which looks like it should line up with the hole in the back uh for us to put the sword in so let's see if we can do that seems like a little bit of a challenge but let's try it um let's see let's see right handed well okay he's right handed uh but to put this where he's drawing it from his right hand you have to put it blade side down and i kind of don't think it should go that way i think it should be blade side up uh nonetheless there you go there you have it and let's see uh it's got these knives and is there a space to store the knives are these okay let's let's pull them out let's pull them out bear with me bear with me um yeah um he's gotta kind of gotta he's he's he's kind of sticking his butt out that that is that's an odd thing and that's okay but yeah if you if you adjust the articulation he's still sticking his butt out that's um it's an odd choice it's an odd choice hello buff 88 thank you uh i'm glad you were back as well thanks uh for being here hello erin miller um hold on one second i'm working on it how about version four grunt um the the grunt uh not grunt um no i'm sorry i was thinking of something else i was thinking of breaker um oh vincent uh 396 says welcome back hoodie uh you seem well uh i'm late to the chat so sorry you've already uh covered this what are your thoughts on haslab sky striker i am gonna cover that i have we touched on it very briefly but um uh i want to talk about a little bit more i will talk about that more right after we've done looking at uh snake eyes here so um where do these knives go i've got these two knives and uh are these pockets here these are not pockets on the legs the knives don't appear to go there um is there anything in the artwork that gives a clue on where the knives go uh no okay does anybody know where the where these knives go um hello cobra island um uh well welcome home um thank you uh uh jame year's 1975 thank you um uh jake says there's no knife storage um that's yeah that seems to be accurate um so what what is the point of these then why do we have these uh i don't recall him using a weapon like this in the movie so this okay so this is a problem yes he has more accessories than storm shadow but they're just extra bits you can of course you can put them in his hands and that's fine but hey these are classified figures if you're going to have uh extra weapons you should have storage for those extra weapons this is this is the year 2021 we can store these weapons we can we can make a place to store these weapons um uh anyway uh so let's uh see i thought he um had a leg sheath as well but uh it doesn't look like it these don't uh well i mean it's hard to tell these like these side things look like they might be for the knives but that that doesn't fit i i'll i'll break that if i try to force that in so um um uh thank you uh baronessa i always appreciate your input um throwing knives maybe yes i mean yes you could throw juggling not juggle he can juggle them i drop one dang it hold on ah can't reach it okay well i don't want to lose them okay so that leaves the final accessory as the henry golding head and it this is a decent likeness of henry golding you've got a little bit of his stubble there that's not bad he still has the lipstick lips uh the same issue that the storm shadow had um but overall i mean it's it's a decent likeness maybe not perfect but it's okay so let's let's try it on and i can already tell you this figure is going to have the same problem as the snake eyes figure had one second there we go all right these things are easier to get off than to get on um man of action is waiting for the o-ring figures i'm very interested in seeing what they do with the o-ring figures i am um all right is it on okay that's on so here is unmasked snake eyes um and it's fine i guess but look at the neck is unpainted so again you kind of have that same issue oh uh mike latin sends a super chat thank you very much mike and thank you for being here um yeah it's it looks like there's some paint missing now maybe it's a little better here because we do see some um details of uniform um up to the neck uh or up to the jaw um so it's not quite as bad as the snake eyes figure but i don't know it i'm still not sure it looks quite right uh but anyway so there's that let me go ahead and put the standard head back on here we go uh thank you roberto menwell cano nice uh long live me uh let's see lipstick's really hot in asia that maybe i don't know uh uh greetings i'm handsome now yes um okay but um in addition to this we got we got a bonus toy to open up and i gotta go over here to get it because i picked up this this is another oh uh rezekai hey nice to see you rezekai it's been a while it says good to see you're back in action hoodies sending positive thoughts and prayers to you and yours thank you very much rezekai um and i have to say it's really nice to see you i have uh i've just missed talking to everyone um it's it's it's been too much time away um and i intend to not spend that much time away again man my hair is really screwed up anyway so i got this it's another storm shadow figure um this is not a classified figure um this is a totally different snake eyes movie toy series i guess he does have a bow so i i gotta give him props for that they gave a storm shadow a bow but i'm really curious about this um because it like i'm curious about the scale because um it kind of looks like it's in a a different scale than classified figures and if if it is um i'm not really sure why so unfortunately this is not collector friendly you do have to rip this open in order to get to it but i i like to live dangerously i'm a wild and crazy guy it's a toy for the kids yes i i uh i agree that this is a toy intended for kids so this is something that they have designed and marketed to be less for the adult collector and more for kids but let's let's see what they did for kids let's see what they did there we go uh so this okay so there's the figure um yeah it's got it's got like a spring back action so that's something uh i don't mind the spring back action but he's gotta stand he's gotta face forward he's he's he's gotta face forward you can't so at rest he's facing sideways so that's kind of a problem um okay uh well i might have fixed it there we go um so he's got swords these are different swords these are not not the same mold as classified storm shadow he's got this um crisscross backpack thing for the swords um and what else he's got um he's got an arrow quiver that looks like it pegs onto the back so he can carry either swords or arrows but not both um and then lastly he has if i can get it out a bow there's his bow um so yeah what i was curious about is the scale and i am correct this is in a separate scale i'm trying to even these up this is shorter than a classified figure and that is curious a shorter figure would use less plastic and would be a little less expensive to produce but it has more paint applications like look at this this has the color that the original storm shadow was missing um riptide uh oliri says good to see you back thank you riptide it's good to see you as well um i really appreciate um everybody's patience but we're getting back to it we're gonna get back in the groove um but yeah dig it this this has the the color that this is missing but these are not compatible like it's and it's not a lot short it's just like a little bit short but if you're gonna make it almost classified size why not just make it classified size you know cut down the articulation and see it has less articulation um it has a single jointed knee it has a single jointed elbow um it you know the neck articulation is close to the same and i like this actually i i i'm probably i may like this better than i like this one but i don't understand it i understand that this is more for kids and this is more for adult collectors totally understand that i'm on board there i get it i get it but um like why why is it why is it shorter it's not enough smaller that it would make much of a difference in the amount of plastic that's used um and um and and like whatever you save in you know cutting plastic you've added back with paint applications uh so it's it's a puzzle it's a puzzle i'm i'm just not sure why we have a toy line for kids um that is in a totally different scale that is almost um classified compatible but not quite um i think you jump in general uh i will announce my candidacy any day now um but actually like the look of this figure despite the the fact that um uh that it has less articulation the look of the figure is nice i like the look of the figure hell yeah um i mean you stand this up and this this one just looks this one looks bland compared to this one this is nice this is nice um anyway so i think that's it for show and tell today um oh and it's it's been almost an hour i'm gonna keep it going for a little bit longer just because i missed you guys and um oh yeah we were supposed to talk about um the haz lab um uh sky striker okay so for those of you that don't know there is a uh a haz lab project to fund a sky striker uh in the three and three quarter inch scale uh with uh like a o-ring pilot and things like that let me pull this up so i can see it's not funded yet it's got a couple weeks left i think but um let me see where it stands right now there we go um peg warmers says hasbro kind of does this with power rangers the kids lines are just a little shorter uh than the lightning collection um yeah um it's a it's a curious choice i'm sure they have some reason for doing it uh but but i'm just not sure i get it um it's it's a peculiar choice but here we go so uh the haz lab sky striker uh has 5652 backers it needs 10 000 uh it's got 14 days and three hours left so right at um right at two weeks and uh let's see uh let's see be a real american hero let's scroll down a little bit um uh yeah i really should have my glasses on for this because uh other than the uh the bold type it's kind of hard to read this hold on um now the sky striker has some cool stuff right but it's got like alternate sticker sheets and what else it have um it has like a whole load of accessories um let's see uh it looks nice that's yeah it definitely looks nice um it looks like it has some blast effects i think that's that's a better picture um and uh yeah it's got your removable panels it's got you know your removable seats similar to the vintage line with a bit more detail um but i wanted to get to see uh the amount uh let's see uh it looks like uh the the price on it though um is i think what a lot of people are questioning uh as whether it's um it's worth the price they have on it and i just want to make sure that i'm looking at this correctly um but i don't have my reading glasses on um is that it $229.99 is that the the base price for it at least that's the amount that's popping up on my screen um hang on yeah so it's over $200 about $230 um so this sky striker i mean it has some things going for it it is not the you know 25th or 30th anniversary sky striker it's all new it's updated from the vintage it's even updated from the modern it comes with lots of extra stuff um so if if if the extra stuff and the modernization um is um is is worth it to you then you know you're going to jump on board and go for it um but is that going to be worth it for everyone and that's um see the the fact that you even have to ask if um if uh if it's worth it is i think is a sign of a problem with the project um because i feel that with a Haslab project it should be something that kind of blows your socks off right it should be something where you know it's it's significant enough that um yeah there's no question that it's worth it and if you go back to like the the star wars sail barge um that was a significant project that you never would have gotten by any other means um and if you wanted something like that if you've wanted a huge massive play set with all that detail if you've been missing the sail barge um it gives you a lot it gives you something you never got before um and it gives you a lot of something that you never got before so um yeah you're gonna uh you know if you're a star wars fan and if you have the dough you're gonna jump on that um with the sky striker though obviously it it is worth something to you know a little over 5 000 people that it's worth it to them but um even with the updates and with the extra accessories is it um it's it's it's something that a lot of gi joe collectors need uh it is not something that we've never gotten before it is an update of something that we have gotten before several times so is that is that the right choice for has lab project i'm really not sure um um yeah uh see also the fact that they had three different has lab projects at the same time as well the proton pack uh funded and uh but the rancor and the sky striker are iffy um and um yeah looking looking at the rancor that's a good point uh the rancor is a toy that star wars fans have had before and you can update those toys and make it really awesome and just add tons of detail and tons of extras and make it really cool um but it's still something that the star wars fans have um so i'm interested in seeing if uh if it gets funded uh if i had the funds to um uh to back the sky striker i would um out of out of curiosity you know i'd like to see it i'd like to have the thing in hand uh to set it next to a vintage sky striker and see you know see how it stacks up i'm very curious um i i would love to get my hands on one um but i i can see why maybe not every gi joe fan feels that way so yeah um i know a lot of gi joe fans would like to see a uss flag as a has lab project that would be like hella expensive like that would be prohibitively expensive for most people um but there are other ideas and the problem with the flag is kind of the same thing we've had the flag before it's not something new so um what could they bring to gi joe that is new um that um that gi joe fans would really uh clamor for something that joe fans have been asking for um and i'm not sure uh i have the right answer for that right now all i can say is i'm not sure the the sky striker is it but because i want to see gi joe successful um i want to see the uh sky striker funded i i still want it to to get funded excuse me i want people to get their toy i want uh people to uh you know get it in their hands i want people to have it um i'm just i've just got questions about it i and and um kyle says uh i'm torn i thought you said i'm tom but it says i'm torn um buying the sky striker as well as new pilot uh the figure two smaller vehicles control tower i think they are expecting the stretch goals to justify the price right yeah that's um i think you're right about that i think you're right um well i'll be doing a review on sergeant slaughter's renegades soon uh want your opinion on them i do want to do them soon but i need to complete a couple of them um so sergeant slaughter's renegades i have i think i'm missing a couple accessories but see this is part of the problem i've got to dig in and my collection and find things again to even know what i have missing so i'll work on that uh thank you for cobra island for bringing that up but i'll i'll try to have that on the agenda but i think i think i need to complete a couple of them before i'm ready to do that um but um the red cobra shuttle from the comic that's a possibility um i think the the cargo the cobra cargo helicopter from the comic also a possibility uh that's one where like comic book fans will know that and love that but um uh animated series fans may not be familiar with it so um anyway um we will see and um if the sky striker gets funded even though i won't be able to go in on it i'll be very interested in seeing what others think of it when they get it in hand i'll be very curious about it um but um yeah i think uh uh that's kind of how i feel about it right now um i hope that it works i hope that it gets funded um but i'm just not 100 sure that that was the right choice for a gi joe has lab project i'm just not sure um but anyway um i don't want to end this on a on a uh a uh a negative note so i will i'll just um i'll just um i'll just show snake eyes sticking his butt out that's how that's how we'll end this we'll end this with what snake eyes snake eyes his bubble butt there we go so there there's a positive message in the end uh thank you for watching i'm gonna wrap it up guys but i'm gonna have this on my calendar to do uh each week we will be back um we will we're gonna try to do this every uh tuesday evening uh and in addition to that i'm going to be very busy at work getting some reviews done uh we will look at some modern stuff in the interim um while i am sorting out my vintage collection so i can prepare a vintage review uh we've got a ways to go but we're going to get there together and i just can't tell you how happy i am to see all you guys you get this this really this is very nice uh so thank you
