 pain. What a pain. It looks terrible. We got to move this back a little bit. All right, looks like people are in here. Hello, Dave and sparkster here. We made this should work. This should work because I have backup if Wi Fi goes out. What this has been a pain and I had graphics all ready for you guys. I had graphics set up. I had pictures of the as a reveal. So I was going to show hello, Jeff Woodman comic tropes that does somewhat make up for my difficult difficulties. Thank you very much. Hello, gentlemen and Sardis or Slaughterhouse. Wow. This is a real professional operation. You can tell. Hey, it's codename to Vera too. Nice to see you. Hello, Sal and gas. Yes, I'm back. So yeah, thank you everyone for making the jump over here. After the disaster, the other one was I don't think I told your live chats on screen on this like I can on the other one. And CJ ACDC and sparkster and space Cobra, Bader Ray Bob. Thank you, everyone. Even though I can't show you graphics. Hello, Mike Lagin. Even though I can't show you graphics and images from the the has lab reveals, we can still talk about them. We'll still talk about them. You've probably seen that. Hello, Jose. Yes, no more shenanigans. I'm gonna I'll do my best. I'll do my best. We're off to a great start. It's the best ever, best ever. So I wasn't even able to get house. I was just trying to get the housekeeping stuff. So we can talk about the actual substantive stuff, right? So I mentioned the Patreon. I mentioned the fund me. I mentioned Timmer. I mentioned codename to Vera to what else I think that's it. Let's move on before it screws up again. Move forward. Let's move forward. So one bit of GI. So what you're probably talking about is IDW losing the license to GI Joe and transformers. So again, this is something that everybody's already talked about. But we haven't got it yet. So don't know where that license to go yet. Don't know when to become of the Larry Hama title. Just don't know. We don't know anything yet. But I don't mean I'm trying to be optimistic here. Maybe this opportunity to refresh the brand Comma Trope says it's up with Robert Kirkman. Very well may be and that has been floated around as a possibility and that's very much a possibility. And maybe it's not a thing. Maybe it is an opportunity to refresh the little bit. Transfer is probably the big money title for whoever that license. The license will probably have it both and both. And you know, given that Hasbro's attempt to promote new Joe through the snake eyes movie of flopped comic books is relatively in a means to keep GI Joe in public and just something out there, especially if they're trying to now rework exactly what they're going to do with the GI Joe brand. So I think the comic book going just makes sense that they will. Whereas whether Larry will continue. I don't know that he wants to continue. He may not want to continue. He doesn't. Yeah, my camera is hilarious. It tells the best books. If he doesn't want to continue. Well, first of all, Larry does want to continue. I hope that he's able to continue. I want to be able to continue. But if he does, my hope would be that he would be able to wrap up the seats in his way, wrap up these in a way that happy with in a way that he was able to do with with Marvel. Hello, heavy. Thank you for joining. So so that's my hope. Obviously, if he wants to continue doing it, I hope he can continue doing it. But I mean, I could see the possibility that he might prefer to, you know, to wrap it up. You know, he didn't get that chance at Marvel at Marvel at Marvel. You know, he kind of had the rug pulled out from under the series was cancelled without the opportunity to tie up loose ends. So yeah, I think I think that would be nice. And if this is not the occasion he's not ready to go yet, at some point in the future, I do hope that he has that chance. I just don't want to I just don't want to be taken out from under him without having the chance to to finish it. I want him to be able to finish it his way. So knock on wood, he'll have the chance to do that. So that's a bit of G.I. Joe news. It's not necessarily good news, but it's not necessarily bad news either. It's probably bad news for IDW, but it's not necessarily bad news for G.I. Joe and Transformers. It may in fact be great news. It may be going to another publisher who will have fresh ideas of what to do with it. So so that's not necessarily bad. Hello, Cinefile. Thanks for joining. Hello, Jake. And anyone else that I missed, thank you for joining. So let's talk. Let's talk about the Haslab G.I. Joe reveals for 2022. Who got Jay, I'm late coming in. Yeah, actually, a good thing that you're late because the start of the the live stream was a complete mess, a complete disaster, which is why we're doing it in this different format than we usually do it. Hello, Matt. Thank you for joining. Okay, so let's talk about these reveals. Yes, Tomax and Zemot, but not in that order, they actually announced them in reverse order. Clever, clever. So right off the bat, Haslab on Fan First Friday announced a classified series Zemot. Other than the slashes removable and he has the scar. Oh, thank you, Josiah. Yo, believe me, I appreciate it greatly. Thank you for your tolerance this evening. Thank you very much. So we got Zemot announced first. And then we got Tomax announced directly after that. So these are in the classified series. So these are six inch figures. There we go. These are six inch figures. And Tomax has a little bit of a different spatial expression. He's got kind of a smirk on his face. He's it's the they the parts that they use are not necessarily interchangeable. They are mirrored. So that's kind of cool that that that requires extra effort and extra tooling to actually mold mirrored parts for each figure. So that's that's nice. But what what they didn't say for sure is whether these will come in a two pack. Will they come packaged together? I think they should. If you I don't think there are very many collectors that are going to want one but not the other. And if you if you don't package them together, inevitably, you're going to find one but not the other and you're going to be stuck with half of the twins. Some people are just will not be able to get both of them. So just put them together. Just just package them together. You already have a couple other multi packs. So why not just make them a two pack? That is my comic tropes only collects them on. See so what comic tropes could do is buy the two pack, pulls them out, put Tomax on eBay, a problem solved. So those are the first two reveals and I should point out that they did not have figures in hand. They only had digital renders. As the fact that they are using digital renders raises some questions about a couple things and I will get to that. And this is where if I had my regular presentation, I would be popping images up on the screen. Just imagine just imagine the here. Hold on. I'll draw it for you. Hold on. You know what? We improvise. We improvise. Here we go. Let's see. Yeah, there's Tomax and Zima. You can see you see there's the scar. So just imagine this is this is the the digital renders popping up on your screen right now. The next reveal was one close to my heart and that is stalker. They are doing a classified stalker. There is one thing that's very surprising about this and that is they are using the name stalker. I guess we shouldn't be too surprised because they did recently release a retro stalker. So they are still using the name stalker even though that it's it's a little bit uncomfortable calling a figure stalker nowadays. And I get that. I get it. But apparently Hasbro thinks it's fine. You know, so they're like, yeah, we're just going to call this guy stalker. What what what's you going to do? So the digital ranger that they put up had stalker wearing like a dark camouflage uniform and a scarf. The scarf made it difficult to see a lot of the details on the chest. A lot was covered up by the scarf. So it's hard to know exactly what the chest and the torso completely looks like. The color scheme is also really dark, like really dark like it is a dark camouflage color. And they did mention that this is a new military body. They are apparently using a new body for stalker. At least that's what they mentioned. And so I think that's good, even though they they obviously they could reuse parts for this guy. I am happy that they are adding new parts. They are creating new parts and expanding the parts library that they can use on other figures. Also, they didn't have the accessories, didn't have any of the accessories for any of these guys. But they did mention that stalker's accessories will have some some callbacks to the message I said. So I'm assuming that he'll get his submachine gun. That's it. Well, if you count the scarf, besides the scarf, he needs a submachine gun and he needs a kayak. Let's make it happen, Hasbro. Kayak. So, yeah, I'm intrigued to see stalker. I won't see the figure. Obviously, I'm going to get it. I can't not get stalked, my favorite guy. But I'm very curious what's with him. And as we have learned with other figures in the classifieds, if we're getting stalker with a an updated deco, chance are very high that we'll get in the future another stalker that has more additional vintage deco, so probably more of the light green and dark green clash, I will bet. I'm assuming. But that was the next riddle. Very intrigued about stalker. Very interested in what he comes with. They did the beret is removable. That's to be expected. In general, the berets have been removable so far. The net they announced may have been a little bit of a letdown for some people was the bareness, a classified bareness again, but with a new deco, it has basically an all black uniform. They said it has a new face print and new packaging. So I assume this will be on like a retro style packaging. So, so just a recolor on the bareness and if you have, um, if you have bareness already, and there have been a couple releases of the bareness already, I think the movie meant you just not be interested in this year. Now, if you were not able to get the earlier bareness, then you're in luck because this is one that is very faithful to the. Oh, hey, they gone says, folks still got time for my so they gone is running an art contest. But thanks for mentioning it. They gone. Yeah, if this, this, this um, bareness line is very close to the vintage figure. In fact, you as hello from Serbia again, hello from the United States. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Hello. So yeah, you're getting a figure. This is something that can be said about Tomax and Zemot. They have designs of yours for classified very little. They are very close, very close to the vintage designs just scaled up. So if that's what you want, and some people really did the one with one of the big complaints that I heard early classified series is that new designs are not what we were wanting were years based on the classic design upscaled from the classic design. I keep more and more videos. I agree peg warmers. So if that's complained early in the series, well, you may do this as I'm that issue by giving you very vintage inspired designs. If, however, you already have a bareness, then there's not much new here. There's just not and it may not be worth getting if you're satisfied with the one you already have for Tomax and Zemot. You know, the first figure right out of the gate is almost one for one, an upscale of the vintage figures. So after that, and keeping with the theme, they are reissuing Lady J with a new deco with a new deco in her 1985 colors, and most likely in retro packaging. And this is another one where it's basically a reissue of here that we already got with some other colors. Now the colors they are using are very close to the 1985 figure. So again, if you want an upscaled 1985, you're going to get that if you are not fond of the updated color palettes of the classified series, you're going to get an inspired color of those same figures, it seems. Again, as with bareness, if you already have the Lady J that they issued, the standard issue Lady J, you may not feel that you need a new Lady J with just different colors. So, you know, I don't think there's any reason to be a completist on classified series, especially if some of the figures are like very, very similar. They're so similar that you feel that you just already have already. And that's not the only figure in this announcement that is like that, where we'll get to the other one. But in between announcements of classified figures. And Jack says, Lady J, favorite female figure from the vintage toy line. I can see why she wore, that's a really, really good figure from 1985. I like it a lot. I really love it. If I had to choose, so I think I may prefer the updated classified coloring, the darker green, I just think looks good. So I'm sure I will need an updated Lady J figure. I'll probably get any way because I would like to show it side by side with the previous release and just see all the differences. So I'll probably get it. But I don't know if I'll need it. I mean, I'll need it, but I don't know if I need it. So we'll see. But in announcements of GI Joe classified series figures, they moved talking about O-ring figures. This is another thing that GI Joe fans have said they wanted. They want O-rings. When announced the Walmart exclusive retro series, everybody assumed it would be O-ring figures. And it wasn't. And a bit of a stink was raised about that. They're working on that. So they've got a couple O-ring figures out there. They have more O-ring figures coming with the haz black eye striker. And they seem to be expanding the O-ring series, the O-ring figures, because they announced a two pack O-ring troop builder, the first one being a Cobra officer, Cobra trooper. So a two pack troop builder with a Cobra officer and Cobra trooper as O-ring figures. Tony says no one is. And I apologize. The chat goes by really fast. And I'm doing my best to keep up, but I'm not keeping up well. So I'm sorry about that. Probably some people have said that I have not been able to respond to. So I apologize. I really do. So yeah, a two pack troop builder. Now the thing about a two pack troop builder is you got a trooper and an officer. And you can't really have the same number of officers as you have troopers. So like a couple troopers would be better or two troopers and an officer. They did something similar to that on one of the later announcements. We'll get to that. What is the largest vehicle that could still be made at classified scale? Honestly, I don't think we will get anything larger than a vamp. I think eventually we will get something in the vamp scale. Anything larger than that would be prohibitively expensive, even with like a Haslab project. So even like a his tank, I think would be just too big in the classified scale. I don't think we're going to get anything that large. So the O-ring train continued with another announcement of a two pack. This one being Duke and Cobra Commander. Duke is inspired by his animated series coloring. So he has, you know, the animated series colors and the red epilates on the shoulders. It's fine. No problem. It seems like we will always get a Duke and even more Cobra Commanders. This is a face-plated Cobra Commander. And I'm very curious about something. This Cobra Commander is also in his animated series colors are as close to the animated series as they could get it. But it was just a digital render. And this is what I'm talking about. Sometimes using the digital renders raised more questions than it answered. Because while the other parts of the figure looked very close to vintage, the head looked a little different. So that raises the question. Is it a new Cobra Commander head or is it the old Cobra Commander head? I don't know. I think it's the old Cobra Commander head. I don't think they've done new tooling. I would be surprised if they did. But I mean it's possible. It doesn't look like the vintage part in the digital render. So that's why I'm saying the digital render raises a couple questions. If I were a betting man though, I would bet that it is a reuse of the classic 82 Cobra Commander head. I don't think they remolded it. But it remains to be seen. We shall see. We shall see. But hey, this is something and I have to credit Hasbro when credit is due. This is something where they have listened to fan feedback. Fans very loudly and clearly. See you Michael. Fans very loudly and clearly said they wanted O-ring figures. And we are starting to get O-ring figures and they're starting to put out more of them. They're starting to push out more O-ring figures. Now it's not. It's still not clear how many of the original molds they have. But that's why I'm looking to see if they put out anything that that's any different from, you know, anything they've put out in recent years. Anything to indicate that they've retooled something. Because retooling would be significant investment in the future of the line. If they are investing money on new tooling, that means they're expecting this line to stay around and be profitable for a little while. But again, I don't know that they're doing that. If I were to guess, I would say they're probably not. But yeah, it remains to be seen. It remains to be seen. Yeah, we'll have to see. Well, we will see. But yeah, that's just something I've got my eyes out on. It's like are they reusing the tooling that they have whatever they can scrap together, or are they creating something new? I don't know. I don't know. But hopefully we will find out soon. So the next announcement was Destro classified another classified figure, another redeco, they're taking they're taking the classified desktop that we already had a figure that most people really like, by the way, and they are just changing the colors, just changing the deco, reducing the number of colors. So it is more close to the vintage figure that it's closer to the vintage figure, but somebody pointed out the the the eyebrows. That's the other main difference with this Destro figure from the original release is that he has eyebrows on his helmet, which I assume somebody sharpied on that metal mask like as a joke, you know, somebody got a hold of the mask or or when he was sleeping, somebody took a sharpie and drew the eyebrows on. And of course, you can't see it because he's inside the mask. I don't know. I don't know what how I feel about eyebrows. Destro, I'm not I'm not sure about that one. Yeah, I get it. I know in the animated series, he had an expressive face, even though he was wearing a metal mask, somehow the metal face would move when he talked. I know it's weird, but but eyebrows, but eyebrows, I don't know. Yeah, it's supposed to be more like the Sunbow look, but but I don't know how well some of the Sunbow design would look if you translate those sensation action figures. I don't know. So they might not translate perfectly well. But again, who by any chance missed out on on the first Destro release, that was missed out on that. I'm sorry, you should try to pick one of those up. She missed out on that shot at a a read code Destro classified be here and and I do these read this red echoes are going to be on retro packaging. I know they're gonna come out with some retro packaging for these guys. Her spirit is pushed back to September. I haven't heard that, but I hope not. I would like to see spirit that is a that I would really like to get hands on. It looks good. And that's another figure that is very, very full to the to the 1984 vintage original figure. So we have a draw and we have yet another classified cloud figure read echo and that is the hoe they are releasing gun hoe in his 1983 colors, which means light blue, green camouflage, light blue that they the hat is better, the looks more like a hardcore, you know, cover. So the hat is definitely better than the previous gun hoe figure. Best is closer to the vintage figure as well. Don't know what the extras are, but I assume we'll still have his grenade. The tattoo on the chest still is not the Marine Corps tattoo, but it's closer. It's a bit better. It's definitely better than the first release gun hoe. A lot of people had a problem with the tattoo on the first gun hoe released beyond just it not being the correct or tattoo. I think the assumption is that the assumption is that they just can't use it for legal reasons. So, you know, if that's the case, then fine. If they can't use it, then they can't use it. But besides that, the tattoo on the original didn't look right. It was not, not great. The new one seems to be a bit better, so more improvements. But you may, again, look at this as a figure that you already have and you may not feel that you need it in a new color scheme. And that's totally understandable. I get the figure as, I mean, for the hat alone. I really do not like the hat on the gun hoe, the other classifier. So, yeah, I'm thinking just for that, even besides just the change of the color scheme, the hat, it's really nice. So, there's that. And then there was one more release, one more release. And that is the other three pack. It is three pack of classified offers. You get two troopers and an officer. And if you get a trooper, you shoot more troopers than officers. Excuse me. The officer has a slightly different color scheme than the troopers. I believe the troopers are going to have a very slightly different operation than the initial release. And this, I think, is the one that a lot of people are looking forward to. They are facilitating troop building, which I know a lot of people want. This, back to the 2006 Viper pit, they tend to something like this four-ring Vipers in 2006. They released a six pack with a bunch of Vipers and one officer. So, this is something that I know a lot of people are going to be going for and are going to be really happy to get. You know, I'll probably get, I typically army build thing, but I would still like to see how they do the figures. I still would like to see them in hand and see what they look like, and how they stack up to earlier releases. Yeah, I'm very curious. So, that's the release. Somebody in the act did point out something else that we want to talk about, some additional Joe News. But before that, so those are the announcements. Let's run through real quick. Tomax, we got Stalker, Baroness, Lady J, Cobra Officer and Cobra Tuber overing two pack, Duke and Cobra Commander two pack, Crossified Destro, Gun Ho and Viper Pack. So, what are you guys saying? Are these that are standouts for you? Are there any that you really don't need? Are there any that you're just in? I have my opinions about them, but I'm really sure if you guys have thoughts. Yes, Gray Fox, I am talking about three Joe's very soon. I want to give everyone a chance to express thoughts they may have about the Hasbro pulse announcements. Are any of these that you have to get? I mean, I think I have to get Stalker. I have to. I mean, they, you know, they're making a kind of figure of my favorite guy. I mean, I can't not get him. I just hope that he looks good in hand. I really do. Super 7 Snake Eyes in the wild really. Is it really that hard to come back? I mean, I don't think so. I've been told that the Blue Snake Eyes Super 7 figure is in numbers. People, I guess, thought it was going to be a chase figure, apparently isn't. I'm just going to get all of them a complete list. That is dedication. That is dedication. So, one for the eyebrows. Hillbilly, Prepper, the PO box. I cannot type because of this, but look at the PO box unboxing video. You should find it. Am I breaking up again? I shouldn't be. This says signal is good. So, sorry if I'm breaking up. I apologize. So, before I completely break up and go, you know, this thing breaks down again. Let's go ahead and talk about the other thing that we should talk about. And that is, there is a new character from 3D Joe's. 3D Joe's is doing a new ARC omnibus, we could call it, of the artwork guy Joe. It's going to have all new photographs, much sharper, much better. It's also going to have some information about pre-production. There's going to be a lot of new stuff in it. So, if you have the six volume set of collecting new T.I. Joe from 3D Joe's ready. Thank you, Yorktown Joe. Have a great evening. So, if you already have the six volume set, it's going to give you, I think, better graphics. It's going to be an update, but it's not just new images. Apparently, it's going to have a lot of information in it as well. So, if you have to look at it and if you can back it, that is really awesome. 3D Joe's is a great website. Carson, the guy that runs it, a really cool guy, does a lot for the community. There's a lot for T.I. Joe and he is making 3D Joe's the go-to site since Yo-Joe kind of got the rails. So, 3D Joe's is a website you should visit. And if you have a chance, check out the new Kickstarter and back that if you can. I did back it because it's going to have a ton of information that will be great for research, for videos. So, yes, it's going to be a big size. That's correct. Updated photos, better photos. He showed some updates of photos like site-by-site with the earlier editions and it is significantly better. So, I am looking forward to it and so check that out if you can. How long time? I'll wrap it up here. So, photoviper, you're late. It's okay. Thanks. I'm just glad you're here. So, yeah, I'm going to, I'll wrap it up here and just, I apologize for the difficulties. That's very frustrating. That doesn't happen on every live stream. It just happens occasionally. And it's even what I do to the hardware, to the software, to the website. Nothing seems to work. If it's having that issue, it's just going to have that issue all night. So, again, I apologize. But thank you. Thank you for your patience. Almost everybody came over to new streams. So, I appreciate everyone who did. But I think I am going to wrap it up. I got, I just got back from a few rolls before we started this. I am pretty tired and I think I'm ready to crash now. So, we are going to have a live stream next week and it's going to be good. It's going to be a good one. So, please join me for that. If I have a chance, I may kind of do like a bonus live stream for you guys, just to make up for the difficulties on this. So, if I have any extra tweak, we may just do a bonus. Thank you, Josiah. Please take a moment to subscribe on JoeMine. Hey, that's a good one. W.O.E. wants on JoeMine. I am always in the live chat for their live stream on Fridays. They would like to get some additional subscribers so they can get past the 1000 subscriber mark. Please subscribe to them if you are not already. Rob says thanks for the pug. No problem. Pugs are adorable. I need to have a pug. Pugs are like their little fuzzy kind of chubby short-nosed dogs. They are sweet. Sweet dogs. You are welcome for the pug. I pugged the damn show. So, now that I've pugged the damn show, I think I'm going to go... Pog plug. Yes, you're welcome for the plug too. That's anytime. But yeah, I think I'm done. I'm down for the count. I will catch you guys later. I'll try to make up for this later this week and we will have another live stream next week. So, thanks a lot, guys. I will say good night and I will see you next time. Bye!
