 Hello everybody hooded Cobra Commander 788 here, and it's time for our donation unboxing video for June And we got some stuff in the month of June, which means we can do one of these videos Before you start it I want to remind everyone as I always do that you do not have to send anything to the channel I'm happy just to have you here and watching the videos and so thank you for just being here I don't ask for donations And it's nobody should ever feel obligated to send anything Some people have enjoyed helping the show out and sending some things in So if you would like to send a donation I will put on the screen the address where you can send stuff, but again, please never feel obligated to do that If you do send something I will make sure that I put it on camera as a way of thanking everyone who helps the show out by Sending donations in I will put your donations in a video like this So I can share it with everyone. I'm trying to do one of these unboxing videos every month So if I get any donations for the month, then I will do a donation unboxing video If I don't get anything in then I won't do one and that's kind of how it works It's kind of up to you whether or not we do one of these videos each month Well, we definitely got some stuff for June So I'm gonna open this up. I know what some of it is but some of the other stuff I don't know so Let's open it up and see what people sent. The first thing we have is actually not a package It is a letter. It's a letter from the United Kingdom with a stamp with the Queen on it right there And this actually brings back memories from when I would get letters from England from My friend Shane who moved over there And he's the one that first told me about action force when he came back to the United States so this is a letter and This letter is from Let's see this letter is from Well, it's from Northumberland, England and it's from Gary Watson Gary Watson sends this handwritten letter and I'm gonna take a moment and read this letter All right, I'm not going to read the entire letter on this video just because it's lengthy But it's really fun to read Gary talks about His experiences with action force And you know what he's enjoyed on the channel lately including the hammer video He talks about some Some GI Joe characters that had their names changed and their countries of origins changed When they were translated to action force in the UK and how action force had more of an international feel to it he also Speculates about what What would it be like if GI Joe were set in Marvel's earth 616 universe now? That's a very intriguing idea and And he goes over some of his thoughts about What the consequences might be if you had GI Joe actually in the Marvel universe and he's got a list of his Favorites GI Joe figures and vehicles and it's a really good list of some awesome stuff So Gary, thank you very much for this letter now this letter like all other letters. I receive I am keeping I keep every single letter that has been sent to me a lot of times inside like boxes I'll get letters from people people and it's really I think extraordinary to get letters nowadays Actual hand written letters from people So thank you for all of the things that you send to me and as I've said before I'm never gonna get rid of these These are gonna gonna stay with me I've got them all collected in one place so that I never lose them and so Gary Watson, thank you very much for this and I will be keeping this as a wonderful momentum of You joining us on this collecting journey and looking at GI Joe and action force So thank you very much for that. The next thing is from Chris Pierce And I already know what it is because I already opened it as really curious to see what he sent and what he sent is awesome Wait till you see this. This is great. This is something I had been I'd had my eye on and was thinking of buying But he went ahead and got it for me and that is Larry Hama conversations. Let me zoom in so you can see the cover That's right conversations with Larry Hama the writer of the GI Joe comic book and somebody who has contributed so much to GI Joe and Yeah, this is by Christopher Irving and I have been very curious about what's in this so Thank you very much Chris. I was very tempted to bring it with me to Joefest And read it on the way, but if I had I wouldn't have had time to read it. It was just too busy But now that I'm home I Want to read this whole thing because I have been curious about some things in Larry Hama's background in his personal philosophy and worldview and I'm really hoping that this will dive into it and Give me a little window into the psyche of the person who is You know the the intellectual father of GI Joe our GI Joe at least so Thank you for this Chris and I'm gonna start reading this probably as soon as I'm done with this video This next box is from Sean Beckett. So is Sean. Thanks for sending this to me He did tell me generally what he was gonna send so I have a pretty good idea of what's in here But I haven't actually peaked to see what is in here exactly so I'm going to open this now I did already cut I cut the boxes open so they would be easier for me to open here on camera So let's open it up and right on the top. I see a letter a Letter from Sean. It's a typewritten letter and he says here's your doge nation for your channel You will surely put these items to better use than I am right now And I'm just pleased to add whatever I can to the already great and comprehensive content of your reviews. Thank you very much Thank you Sean. Oh, and you'll notice I included to yes, too of The shadow ninja snake eyes. Thanks Because I'm guessing that you probably would want to keep one of those beauties ment on card displayed proudly probably on your wall As a constant reminder of the glory that the GI Joe toy line had become In 1993 treasure it my friend. Thank you. I'll consider framing it. I might I may put that in a frame Hey, you know Candidate for AFA grading should I get it graded? Hmm. Think about that In conclusion, I'll just say that I've been enjoying your reviews for years now in which I had Interacted more in the comments and chats earlier because I'm really enjoying talking with the community that you've that you've assembled Or that has assembled around you and a great community I have to say thanks to everyone who watches the videos and comments and Participates in the live streams and Facebook and Twitter and all that. I I Got a great group of people GI Joe fans You know watching these videos and I don't take credit for that because you guys are the awesome ones But I just feel very lucky to have you guys here I see a lot of other YouTube channels and a lot of a lot of other fandoms Have just a lot of toxicity and a lot of turmoil in their interactions But we don't have a lot of that here and that is due to you Watching this and I'm grateful for that. I don't want to say thank you for that I Especially look forward to your panel at Joe Fest though. I won't be there and as far as reviews Well, I'm probably most excited to see what you have to say about the bat Okay, I'll work on that given that I know about your GI Joe related tastes and preferences I'm curious to see what judgments you Make about the figure and character Have a great time at Joe Fest and keep those videos and live chess coming strong. Yo, Joe Sean Beckett. Thank you very much, Sean We're gonna keep keep them coming and I did have a really great time at Joe Fest. So now let's see what's in the box All right, I will keep this letter Along with the other one make sure I don't lose that we have some packing material very good Gotta keep things safe while they are in transit And we have what we have here. I tell you in generally what we have here What we have is a bunch of a lot of mint on card 90s figures like Like Colonel courage a figure that I like a lot You've got oh, I see a vehicle I see a vehicle and I've got outback carded and I'm just gonna go ahead and pull the vehicle out. I should probably save that for last No, I'll save that for last Here we've got gung-ho and general flag and it You know, I really do like getting these 90s figures carded if you're Interested in carded GI Joe figures domestic figures anyway 90s figures are still out there and You can still find them and let me just look at that It's a shadow ninjas night creeper What a crazy thing and there's Bushido so we've got some ninja force and Yeah, there's a there's a shadow ninjas storm shadow and payload From Star Brigade Some of these I did not have I mean I actually most of these I did not have I have some of the figures loose But and I have us like a small set of carded 90s figures Not a lot of them. So there's a lot of stuff. That's actually new to me here. There's wild bill and snow storm Don't worry. I'll carefully put these back in the box when I'm done so that I don't mess them up But for now, they're just I'm just pulling them out so I can show you there's frostbite And there is ozone you got some Star Brigade with ozone there and Let's see one's falling over there is cross-country and Yep, there there they are there. They are to Count them to shadow ninjas snake eyes Because you can never have too many right so there those are the carded figures and the vehicle is You turn it the right way the vehicle is the mud buster And this appears to still be sealed it is it's still sealed in the box I got to be truthful. I'm very tempted to pop this open and assemble it you may see that in a future video Because I this is an interesting vehicle to me. I don't really know what I think about it I really need to see it in person to really pass judgment on it and Opening it fresh from the box and assembling it that might be a way to do it So I hope you don't mind Sean if I do that But I'm thinking about it. I'm not guaranteed, but I'm thinking about it But there's the battle core mud buster right there. So thank you for these Sean They do help and I really appreciate them And yeah, there's some there's some new stuff for me here and plus It's just kind of cool to have some carded figures Even though I'm not a collector of carded figures Sometimes they're just kind of cool to have do you feel that way if you if you collect loose figures and you For one way or another pick up a carded figure Do you have that feeling where it's still kind of cool to have it? Because I do I do so thank you Sean for this. Thank you very much Okay, everything is now safely back in the box. So I didn't mess anything up. I do have a space now where I am Storing my carded figures so they don't get damaged I had just been keeping the carded stuff kind of higgledy-piggledy here and there But now I have a special place for them They won't get damaged and I'm gonna put these in my special storage container for them So that I can find them when I need them. So thanks for that and now We're moving on to the big box. This one is from Thomas Hogan and again I think I generally know what's in here if I remember what he said he was going to send I did cut the tape, but I haven't opened the contents. So let's open it up and see what we got from Thomas and First we have some packing material And more packing material and that's good because if it is what I think it is then we got to make sure this doesn't get damaged It could be a little fragile Okay Yes, he has packed this in here I think perfectly to make sure that it's not damaged and we have some we have some Bigger stuff and he has some smaller stuff and I'm going to remove some of the packing material and take out the smaller stuff first So let me make sure that I can get to it Okay, let's see it. Well, that's that's part of the bigger stuff here. We have I'll zoom in so you can see as soon as I find my remote. There we go Let's zoom zoom zoom and here Is the heli viper the heli viper with file card and of course blueprints for the battlecopter that he came with the heli viper What a crazy figure. This is always a figure. That's kind of perplexed me but yeah, there he is in all of his glory and Also here is ace Not the sky striker ace but the ace that came with the gi joe battlecopter So not a bad ace figure actually a really nice ace figure Make sure I get it on in frame there so you can see him. I like this ace figure I also like the one that came with the ghost striker, but this one also is really good So there is that and to go with that I might as well show you we have the zip cords and Some handles for battle copters. I'm going to zoom this out because I think I'm getting things out of frame here So let's widen that there we go. All right. Let's do it this way. There we go So, you know what these are right these go with the battle copters and Let's see so I Want to be careful with how about how I take this stuff out Because I want to be very careful with it Let's see. Let me see what this part is See, this is probably the stuff I should do off camera and just show you the the big reveal but we're gonna do this on camera and Do it carefully although that tape is Quite tight and Yeah, I see what it is This tape is quite tight and I'm gonna need a knife for it So I'm gonna pause this just for a second and I'm gonna go ahead and cut a tape off of things So I can actually take this out and show you what it is. I Have to admire your packing job Thomas and this of course this is The battle copters, of course, you knew the battle copters would be in there. So there you go. I in red and blue And the black ones And I'm curious if I can get these to fly Better than the one that I had that came with the with the interrogator So, yeah, some Alright GI Joe and a Cobra battle copter. So thank you for these Thomas. That's not all that's in here Let me finish opening this stuff And this is special I put some of the parts for this back in the box just so I could keep track of them while I was pulling the battle copters out But we will be keeping a helicopter theme when we carefully remove the excellent packing material and This is that we got a sticker to put back on there. No problem This is a couple stickers. That's okay Come on out of there carefully carefully. This is the desert Apache This is I believe what a sonic fighters vehicle if I'm not mistaken and It's a GI Joe vehicle. That's not talked about very much kind of a forgotten vehicle But kind of a cool-looking vehicle and yeah, the rest of it is here. We've got the the helicopter blades and We have Full handle grip that goes with it And it does have the stickers some of the stickers are in here I will have to re-glue some of the stickers, but that is no problem at all. I can do that But I've always been curious about this vehicle. There is not a lot of information about it out there And it's one that I'd like to take a look at so. Thank you Thomas. This is special This is something that I didn't have at all And probably would not have acquired myself for quite some time. So this helps this really helps And I don't know when I will be able to do a full review on it but But now I can do a full review because I have it And I'm just I'm just very curious I'm gonna play around with this because I just want to learn everything about this So that's it. That's everything that I got. Thank you very much. It looks like the lighting has changed behind me So it looks like the Sun is setting. I just wanted to assemble some of this before I finish this video But thank you again for this. Thank you to everyone. Thanks for the letters Thanks for the toys and thanks for just for being here This is a journey that we are taking together. I Am just enjoying having you guys along I enjoy having you guys watching the videos and so I can't thank you enough This has really meant a lot to me. So once again You don't have to send anything that that's very special to me when you do but I don't ask for that I just I'm happy having you around If you do want to send stuff once again, I'll put the the address on the screen If we get more stuff in July then I will do an unboxing video for July If not, then that's absolutely fine But my deepest thanks to everyone We've got a lot of stuff coming Cobra convergence is coming And we've got a lot of work to do but it's gonna be great.
