Hello Terrence And Hello Joe fan 84 hello Patrick and Andrew Andrew the guy so nice they named him twice nice to see you Thank you for being here Terrence says Hi, everyone from the great state of Maryland. Hello, Maryland from the United States. Thank you very much for being here I'm I guess keeping you on your toes. Yes. I started early. I started a few minutes early I always start a little bit early so that in case there's a Technical problem. I'll have time to fix it so I won't be late. I don't like to be late And given how many technical problems I've had lately. I've got to take that precaution so I'm working on the next review video and Today I get some recording done only to discover that for part of those recordings For part of those recordings the microphone was not on so no audio was recorded. So I'll have to do something about that so here it is where I were we're now into late March And I'm still having issues getting every single video done There's always something that happens with every single one Thank you comic tropes. Thank you comic tropes. Apparently the the action figure gods do not appreciate my work. I've I have I have Offended the action figure gods in some way my hair's kind of got this dent thing going on here. Sorry about that anyway Hi there see David. Hello David sharp crystal ball. Yes, I will blame crystal ball for the For the for the issues. That's all you know what? Let's just bring blame crystal ball for everything. That's That's easy Hello, JK siege. Nice to see you.

That's a good attitude so also For this video that's coming up. I I had planned to record a segment of it outdoors. I've got it I've got to record some of it outside You know in nature Under the Sun but the forecast the weather forecast for the whole week calls for rain except for tomorrow tomorrow Provides only the brief window that I'm gonna have to go outside shoot this video and Hopefully get it done. But the then there's the issue like I now I have a possibly a Scheduling conflict so I may not be able to do it tomorrow after all so When do I do it not when it's pouring down range? I don't know. I have no idea Hello the figure six pack. Yeah, it's raining raining. It's it's it's that kind of week Next you'll fall off through yeah, see that's what I'm waiting for, you know I'm just I'm waiting to like trip on something break my leg or something It's just that this is not the week for me to play the lottery Hello die-cast Nick Yes, it's putting the clocks forward that I wish I could blame You know the the time change and putting the clocks forward for everything But but but the fiasco the disaster the chaos started well before then So I can't blame it on that in this particular case So Going to rain. Oh, it's gonna rain rain on sparkster. See I feel like I feel like I Feel like Charlie Brown. There's a rain cloud just following me around But I'm working on it. It can't rain all the time. That's true. That's that's what we we learned from the crow And you know what a happy joyous movie that was I'll hello the quiet silence high seven eight eight. He says hello to you back so Yes, I was just thinking of the the line that we're all familiar with from the A-team of Hannibal Smith, you know With his Stokey saying I love it when a plan comes together Because that is the opposite of what is happening with me. It seems like everything I plan It just it why it just doesn't want to work. It just doesn't want to work but since I was Thinking of that particular line from the A-team It inspired me to pull out my A-team action figures the these are these would be from the The early 80s and I don't recall the exactly the dates and I believe me go produce these And so I was gonna show these off. I have I have The whole team I have the whole team in the three and three-quarter inch scale. So starting with Let's let's just check this out. There's there's Hannibal There's John Hannibal Smith from the A-team it does have The o-ring construction body, I know that me go use the o-ring construction before G. I Joe did In fact, the early G. I Joe figures when they were in pre-production they would they just mocked up some me go figures But yeah, there's Hannibal wearing a blue and purple outfit that he never ever wore in the show And look check this out. There's a variance. He's got like a different blue and purple outfit Look at look that faces that faces a little mangled. He's still happy. He's still thrilled Look how happy he is that guy is is extremely Happy that a plan came together That's that is one happy dude. Then of course we have We have Halimad Murdoch Halimad And this one I think is select first of all look at look at that orange You think neon orange was invented in the 90s. No, it was in the 80s too. It was in the 80s Why does Hannibal look like Jimmy Carter wasn't wasn't the character played by Jimmy Carter? I don't know. I don't remember I Didn't look at the credits, but yeah, that's that's what he's supposed to allegedly Look like but he's happy. He's he's very happy all smiles All smiles and this guy smiles too, but but he's he's howlin mad. He's he's a little crazy But check out his side-eye. This is that's my favorite part of this one He's giving you the side eyes like Hey, baby. Hey, baby. How are you doing? You know, you know what? This is this this head sculpt could could kind of be used for For earnest this could be an earnest pee Whirl Know what I mean? Know what I mean burn? Um, but anyway, so yeah, so there's that's uh, that's howlin mad murdoch Um Like if you if he if he's facing forward Like you can tell he's not paying attention Is that is that an eye roll? Is he rolling his eyes? Don't roll your eyes at me So, yeah, that's that's uh, that's howlin mad enough. Um, I'll I'll Um, I'll save mr. T for last because he's everybody's favorite, I guess But next we have let's see. I have three of these, but this is the best one. I think we have the face man And uh, and he's really happy too. We are all smiles at least he's he's actually You know, he is actually looking at you. No side-eye with this guy No side-eye And you know With a hairstyle like that, you know, he's a ladies man, you know That that guy is is very I mean, you can't get much more handsome than that, right? um, and of course he's wearing a A black outfit like nothing that was worn in this show ever Um, and then finally finally we have let's see. What's the Yeah, this this one will do finally we have Mr. T So, um Bad attitude b. A. Barakas. There's mr. T Um, now check this out now people were complaining Let me see if I can get a better focus people were complaining about the uh, the the red lips on the classified falcon figure Look at this thing. Look at that. That is that is not a natural lip color That that is You know, he's put in that that's like Hooker red lipstick right there. That's that's serious Um, but anyway, but he's the only one that's not smiling He's not he's not smiling probably because he's wearing lipstick. I mean come on But he does he has got broader shoulders than the other guys. He's wearing He's wearing a military uniform, but it's like a dress uniform. Look at this. It's got the the the braid On the shoulder and it's got like some kind of I can't No, it's it doesn't have any It doesn't have any rank insignia or anything it has Is that an ascot? Is he got an ascot on? You know, I haven't looked at these in forever. I decided I wanted to pick them out and uh and because I was thinking of the a team Uh, you know, I just I was just thinking of the a team So I thought I would break out the a team and show you these guys these like These figures are look at that arm These figures are not the highest quality Um gi jo figures basically of every era Have uh have stood the test of time better than these guys Oh, hello baronessa. Nice to see you. Uh, he does pity deful and I am deful So here he is now. He's looking at me. He's pitying me because I am deful Um, uh, who we got here? Uh, hello. Um, yeah, same list lipstick as classified falcon. Yeah, look at this like Check that out. That's um Yeah Yeah, you know, he's ready for date night He's ready. He's ready to go out Um, but uh, anyway, yeah, uh, yeah starbucks. That's See they could have stuck this on a starbucks Or you could use this as a starbucks figure, but he would like when you put him in the viper Fighter than he's not I don't think he's the helmet's gonna fit on that the helmet will not go around that head Um, but anyway, yeah, so I was just thinking, um of the a team Um, uh classic no ring. Uh, hello, uh, james and stone gate creations. How do you do? I should get the same haircut, you know, I've got to grow it out. I've got to grow it out and I have to get the The 70s, you know, I has to be feathered and kind of go over the ears You know for the 70s the hair had to go over the ears. That was the style. Hello cat Look, um, oh, thank you the quiet silence murdoch was also the guy with the holodeck addiction on the star trek the next generation Yes, that is correct. That is correct. So, um With so here we go. Yeah, so this is um There we go. There's there's barkley from, uh From star trek t and g you know Calling up, uh, holodeck images, um Of uh diana troy doing unspeakable things What a dirty dog. By the way, okay, I was just thinking about that. Well, no, I'm not the first one to think about this Okay, but all right, uh the the enterprise crew spends a lot of time on the on the holodeck and And you know that they get down to dirty business there, right? They get down to dirty business on the holodeck But everything on the holodeck is just a hologram, right? It doesn't really exist. So anything you interact with there I mean, um, if from you your person you exist But the the everything else there doesn't exist. So what i'm wondering is that um, does the enterprise have A guy that goes through and squeegees the the holodeck Walls and floor and everything after after use if you if you know what i'm saying Because I mean where else would it go like but suppose you want to use the bathroom like you you you're on the holodeck you're you're in um london Playing sherlock holmes and you need to go it's you just got to go Um, and and you go, you know, you do your business you find a public rest or whatever whatever they used in in, uh Victorian era london they whatever they used there you use that and then Um, you know somebody then what happens to it? That's what i'm saying. What happens to it? Um, I mean because the toilet's just a hologram, right the toilets just a hologram and also like whatever else you do in there just a hologram So after they say this is what they don't put on the show, right after They say computer and program a guy comes in with a big squeegee and like starts, you know Cleaning up that's one guy's job, you know, that's the guy's job On the the enterprise that that that's the guy nobody likes When they don't like you on the enterprise they give you the the squeegee job You go squeegee out the the holodecks um Yeah, if if it's after riker used it you'll you'll need you'll need some lice all Get some lice all in there and go go clean up the holodeck. Um, what a crappy job that is. How do we get? um Yeah, that's true. Gus. He says trekkers never go. They don't have I don't believe they actually have toilets on the enterprise um the uh I assume that sometime around the 23rd century. We we had learned to uh You know not not have any bodily waste Uh anymore, so um, I don't I don't know how exactly how they did that, but um Uh, but but in theory though, you know something, you know something's It's it's it where does it go? That's my question Where does it go? um that's uh I mean you could you know, you know what could happen you could end up like um like ben stiller in that movie There's something about mary. I mean it gets lost and then all of a sudden somebody thinks you've got hair gel Um, you don't want that you don't want that so it's so where does it go? That's that's my question. In fact, don't answer that question. Let's get off that topic How do we get on this topic? Who is to blame for getting us on this topic? Um, whenever I go on a tangent like that. I am going to give a hearty yo-jo To bring it back to gi joe that way we can we can reach our gi joe quotient This is a gi joe related show. We can't go on talking about squeegeeing the holodeck Um, it fuels the replicators. That's that's that's a great way to recycle it. You could recycle it um You recycle it and then uh, no, I you know what I I can't say what I was thinking I'm not gonna say it. I'm not gonna say it the quiet silence started this So the quiet silence. This is your fault. Um, I blame you Um, so you you sit in a corner and you think about what you've done um, anyway, what I was I um Yeah, barkley. We were talking about barkley because we were talking about the a team, you know um, yeah, you see he's I'm up here and he's curious about what's going on so Next topic, um You know, I didn't do any of the previews like I usually do. Oh, hello, uh pains toy samples. Nice to see you. Hello, milwaukie alan Um, and who else does uh, not say hello to hello tarantz and dicast and exploriso. How do you do? Soylent brown see That's how that gets uh, recycled. Um um The 18 was probably one of barkley's many holodeck programs See that would be a really fun twist on the show Yeah, no, you remember how star trek enterprise ended Like the last episode was just a holodeck thing. Just imagine just imagine if the last episode of the a team Is a howlin mad murdoch saying computer and program and the whole thing goes away and he walks out You know end of program and the whole a team series was Barkley's holodeck program He walks out And then the janitor has to walk in and squeegee that whole place out. So, you know, that's that's how it would go. I think That's how Code brown. Yeah, that's how it would go. Uh, hello nester. Nice to see you. Um, yeah tunnel rat knows the He probably does good. Good point. Hello rich. Nice to see you. Yo, joe Let's keep this. Let's keep a gi joe focus. Let's keep it Please don't knock anything down. Let's keep this gi joe focus. First of all Uh, today is tuesday. Timmer has a new video on his youtube show half the battle. Um, this one is on how much Would the stuff these vehicles that gi joe has actually cost How much would they actually cost and I know you're probably thinking, you know kids playing with these toys back in the 80s and 90s They weren't thinking about The budget they weren't thinking about how much these things would cost in real life. Well Well, I sort of was some of us did Uh, but but at any rate is um, so new uh episode of half the battle also after This uh, uh, after this live show you should be able to switch over to what's on joe mind Uh, check out the what's on joe mind live stream right after this one and Um, and I don't know what I have a new. Oh, yeah, the new review went up. Um, I I reviewed char broil. That's the one I was intending to review the week before But then, you know, it just it Uh, things got screwed up. I had to change plans. I found out one of the accessories was broken I couldn't review it without the accessory. So I had to Get a for of a new one and then And then push that back a week and do the hawk review instead. So nothing if that's just how this year is going um um Richard blue crap up all the time. But that's that is your hey that like I don't mind There's no kink shaming here, but um, that is your business and whatever you do behind closed doors is that's That's uh, none of my none of my beeswax um If bazooka used the latrine, they they send an airtight. Um I've got it. You know what I haven't done an air um, uh No, I did bazooka. No, I did airtight. Yeah, I did. Um Now what what was making me think of airtight is that I've been looking at um At the eco warriors lately and the eco warriors did not include airtight This is something that we've pointed out before why was airtight not an eco warrior. He he had the exact job description And the crazy colors. He already had the crazy colors But now now we he they did not have him in an eco warriors unusual choice. Um uh Uh Yes, the right baronessa if you if you're if your kink is being shamed then well then yes But otherwise no, you know, otherwise none none at all um Yes, don't don't google airtight. That's that's not if you google airtight My review of the figure will not be the first one to come up. That's that's Save you the trouble there. Um Next topic yo, joe. Hey, we're talking about gi joe. This is this is a gi joe focused centered Livestream and it's going swimmingly. Isn't it? It's going very well. So Next topic stargate because as I noted before As I noted a few weeks ago, uh, my girlfriend marianne who is in here. Hi, she's been watching. Hi nice. Thank you for being here um, uh she is a fan of stargate and Um, it is because I was looking for a gift for her that I ran across the stargate Version of the gi joe all striker, which I do not have within arms reach right now But I have it. I showed it to you. I showed it to you. Well Now I got really after that I got really curious About that stargate toy line by hasbro from 1995 the year after the movie came out um Because I needed an action figure. I needed an action figure to put in the the uh, the stargate All-terrain cruiser and it was too large for a gi joe figure. Hi Hello, marianne. I thank you for being here. Um Airtide had too much self-respect that that could be that could be you have to have very low standards to be in the eco warriors um Waste is broken down into constituent molecules and recycled as uh, anything required mainly boots uniforms and whatnot um, so yeah So if you ask the replicator to um Give you a new uniform. You need a new uniform Uh computer. Give me a size medium You know red jumpsuit Um, then part of that some molecules from that will be somebody's poop Um, uh space dune buggy. Um, what yeah leba good thinking leba leba leba la bottomax Leba bottomax is larger, but I don't think he would fit in there because of the tail and his big feet Remember leba bottomax had the big like double sized feet Um, well, you but you know what they say about guys with big feet, you know And you know, you also also seen his tail. So it's confirmed. Um, so yeah, um, uh Die cast well, maybe die cast nick was not here for it. Let me hold on. It's around here somewhere I hold on I gotta Don't fall. Yeah, I knocked it on the floor. Hang on a second. All right, good news. It didn't break If if it did break I was gonna blame die cast nick uh his fault Although I could replace it pretty easily because these things are really cheap. I got it mint in the box It did not cost very much. But anyway, so this is the thing that I opened uh a few weeks ago Um, and it is the awestriker, but it is in different colors. It is slightly different mold. It's a one-seater Instead of a two-seater, it has this platform on the back that was not on the original It also has the spring firing missile launcher. So you can go like boom Yeah, you can do that But I I wanted to get a figure to to put in it, right? I wanted to get a figure to actually occupy the single seat So I did And I what I discovered is these stargate figures are so cheap So cheap Why not just get you know all of them? I didn't get all of them But I do have most I do have most of them and I wanted to show you some of these Because this is this is a sort of gi joe related Comic trope says put ba in it. Let me hold on. Um, let me yeah Get a good idea. P put ba Let's put ba barrakas Let's put bad attitude barrakas in there. Um, so this is This is the issue uh for a gi joe figure. It's it's just way too lighter or or or a gi joe size figure. It's just Way too wide. Oh, thank you joe fan 84 sunday is my 39th birthday Uh, he says mr. S is watching in. Hello, mr. S Um, he says hey hey back We are going to a retro toy store for my birthday. Hope to find some cool stuff. That's awesome That's awesome. That reminds me that reminds me of a story. First of all, happy birthday. Happy early birthday And hello to mr. S. Nice to see you here. I'm glad to know that you're here That reminds me though, um Marianne and I went to the vintage toy mall on saturday And I was recognized by a viewer a viewer came up and said hello While she was standing there right next to me. Uh, hello, Dave. Oh, thank you, Dave E The sergeant savage figures fit perfectly on the stargate cruiser I have the camo sergeant savage online. That's a good idea. Um, my sergeant savage figures and I do have Several but my sergeant savage figures. They are um in a Plastic tote I know I I know where they are more or less. I more or less know where they are um, but uh, but as we saw when um When we put crankcase in this It just it's just too big. Um, so Uh, I got these and I and I went ahead and got the figures meant on car I haven't got anything loose on here. I've got them all meant on card But I wanted to show you something because this is g. I. Joe related. All right. This was produced by handsboro For 95 so they would have been producing these at about the time The real american hero toy line was ending, right? So, uh, this is this is what they got if you were a fan of the stargate at the time This is what you got. This is sort of a likeness of kurt russell sort of sort of um but um He has you know in in the movie he wears a beret and it comes with a beret check that out comes with a beret Yeah, dig that dig that. Um Of the problem though with this beret Is that it will not stay on There is no angle that you can put it at there is no amount of pressing it on the head That will keep this on this beret will not stay on and now it fell on the floor I better get it because before the cat eats it um All right, so this is this is just really poor quality. This is This is this is rough. This is rough, but that's not all that's not all um So, uh, yeah, so there's the guy. There's there's there's the kurt russell guy. Um, and then, um It comes with A few things that you should recognize like 90s era g. I. Joe Spring-loaded missile launchers. I forget who this one came with. I think it was like out back. I think this was like the 93 um 93 Battle core out back. Thank you. Um, and then this one Um The the it comes with this weapon that will not will not fit in his hand. You see the grip is there His hand Will not Go around it. It will not work. You can put it in you can put the foregrip in his hand He can carry it like that, but that looks ridiculous So there was no no coordination Uh between the figures and the accessories Hasbro is like just throw in a few things grab some g. I. Joe stuff throw it in You know, whatever you got doesn't matter if it actually fits in the figure's hand or not Um, so this one Well, let's go ahead and put him in. So this is this is jack o'neill The the character at least that's what it says On the card, which is not around but anyway, so let's go ahead and put him in he will fit and he can see You can see his butt's way wider than a like than a rat G. I. Joe like look at look at b. A. Barakas compare their backsides Right and b. A. Barakas is large If anything and and and this guy's backside is is even larger. So Um, so yeah, so let's let's put him in and because he has um Such a gargantuan posterior He will fit And he will not slide around now. This is this is another great thing about it Um, this is another awesome thing about it. Um, so the move they moved the steering wheel to the center Because it's a one-seater instead of a two-seater, but his hands can't go on the steering wheel His hand because he only has articulation at the wrist So the steering wheel Is centered there. He's gonna have to steer with his crotch Like you remember that scene from planes trains and automobiles when john candy had to steer with his crotch That's what he has to do. He has to steer with his crotch because his hands cannot cannot go on the steering wheel Genius hasbro Well done So yeah, so and this is this is the um This this is the the figure that's based on james spader Check that out. Um In that movie he does wear a hat. It's not this hat Um, he does have a uniform on it's not this uniform Um, the character in the movie is wearing glasses. He's not wearing glasses Um, this does have a removable hat. It does but um, unlike the other one The hat does stay on very well. It is actually really really hard Hard to get off So this this one has the opposite problem if you put the hat on him You you may never get it off again. So anyway, check out that incredible likeness of james spader um So yeah, this um, so there much effort much effort was put in this as you can tell It looks nothing like ultron. You know what? It looks more like ultron than it does james spader. Um, but uh, that's that is that is definitely something that exists. Um Uh, and what else would I gonna? Oh, yeah. Okay. So more gi joe stuff, right? Um, he includes a backpack now the backpack in is packaged like this With this bed roll at the top and it's very large. You recognize this this backpack, right? You recognize this this is a tunnel rat backpack 1987 tunnel rat But if you know from tunnel rat, you know, it doesn't go this way It's supposed to go this way And now the pouches are the right way up And on the tunnel rat backpack it had the flashlights that would peg onto the top No peg holes there Um, so this is how it's supposed to go and the figure Does have a hole in the back for the backpack. These are not o-ring figures. So that's not a screw hole That is just a hole that is bored into the back So that the backpack will fit on So he can carry a gi joe backpack, but But Guess who cannot Guess who cannot carry a gi joe backpack because Because he has no Hole in the back for the peg. He got no hole in the back for the backpack So, you know, you you hopefully in your playtime if you actually played with these stargate figures He hopefully he does not need a backpack because he cannot carry one Cannot carry one. Um, so yeah, this is to me. This is a fascinating way that Uh gi joe Vehicles and accessories were used after the end Uh of the gi joe toy line The these this is after the real american hero run after things had shifted over to sergeant savage and by the way Sergeant savage also had some joe accessories even though that those figures were not in scale. Those figures were larger Still had some gi joe accessories um Uh baronessa, yes, you're correct. You cannot peg kurt russell. So if you but i mean maybe um It uh, you have to ask him nicely. Maybe get him a few drinks But in the but at least in this action figure, you can't peg it. You cannot peg this action figure. Look here Mr. S, um, it may be bedtime because apparently I am just I'm I'm working blue this evening. I'm uh My apologies my apologies Um, marion says just for the record. Uh, there's definitely from the movie. There's no military vehicle like this in the movie It's o'neill with one l and no personality. That's right. Um, so For those of you familiar with the tv series, um this Sort of this character was played by uh, richardine anderson magyver um uh looking also also nothing like this but Yes, but it it's a it's sort of the same character But not really has some of the same background but for some reason his name is spelled differently um Now at least the episodes that i've seen so far. They don't have they don't have a vehicle like this either Even though it would have been useful on numerous occasions if they did have such a vehicle They do not seem to have such a vehicle um So anyway, I but I wanted to show you that because I got I just I On a a lark on a whim I went crazy and I just picked up a bunch of carded figures and And and a creature This this is also part of the line. Check this out Um, this mastage Uh related to a bastage. I'm sure Also not expensive meant sealed in the box not expensive. I did take it out of the box I assembled it. There wasn't much assembly to do on it. Um But uh, uh, yeah, um doesn't Mercer look like Kurt Russell. That's a that's a good point. Um I I wish I thought of that. I could have pulled out the Mercer figure. Yeah, it kind of has the Kurt Russell look Yeah, a little bit. Um missed opportunity. Absolutely. Um, so Uh, mr. S is off now. He has to get ready for bed. I just got school tomorrow, but next week Uh, it's on spring break. I'll be I'll be clean. I'll no dirty jokes Uh next week. All right. We got to be we got to be more mature Uh next week. We've got to not not go for the low brow humor. No more low hanging fruit Uh for for spring break, you know, let's give the kid a chance to grow up normally without Warping his brain. So so thank you, uh, joe fan 84. I'll try not to speculate about what happens to bodily fluids and such um, and then have like Have mr. S saying what's pegging What what does pegging mean? Um if and unless he already knows in which case if he already knows that's a that's a different problem You know, that that's a different parenting issue. I'll leave that to you. Uh, but anyway, yeah, um, so Lots of reuse of gi joe accessories and vehicles in this line Despite the fact that the accessories a lot of them Will not fit in the figure's hand. You can't use them. You can't use them So this is this is a very Um, this is a very, uh hasbro thing to do And you know, if you're a fan of gi joe and you follow that line, you're like, yep This is absolutely something they would do. I mean, do you remember I think it was yes You mentioned lobotomax Remember lobotomax came with a bunch of accessories that he could not put in his hand because they like the Well, just like this one the the uh The grip had a guard around it. So it's a loop But his hands were also a loop. So you could he couldn't hold He this is this is that's a very hasbro thing to do very hasbro thing to do save a buck In the ways that will make the toy absolutely Unusable, um, it's hilarious Um Uh, uh, uh, I'll ask peg warmers about peg. Yeah, okay. Yeah, if you need to ask anybody Uh, I mean peg warmers has peg in the name Uh, so that's I mean that's an option. Um Probably here's more bad words at school that is probably true at least I did so, you know, um Well, it's oh, it's so one more thing one more thing as we go on first of all yo joe Keeping our gi joe quotient up keeping this show focused Focused on gi joe. We don't talk about anything other than gi joe on this show except for this right here So, uh, Mary Ann pointed this out to me. This is uh, this is a first of all Check this out. That is just a straight reissue of monkey wrenches trident gun That is that's a dreadnought accessory. It's they didn't even change the color They just they just tossed more in there. Check that out. So there's he this guy comes with a With a a monkey wrench Gun uh, but Mary Ann pointed this out. So this character is supposed to be like from space egypt. He's a desert dwelling Community and uh, he you know Very exposed to the sun. Look at this. Look at how This this action figure is wider than the caucasians Like this this guy hasn't seen the sun. This guy doesn't know what the sun is Uh, that's why his pupils are so dilated. He's never seen light So another great job has bro of the 90s. You guys were killing it You guys, uh, were were just knocking it out of out of the park with these I think this stuff is hilarious. Um, uh, regardless of of the movie. I I did like the movie I did like the movie. Uh, just referring to the the toys That it it is no wonder why this toy line did not last um This is amazing and amazing in the worst possible way Billy from predator. Yeah kind of but uh Yeah, he's uh, what? More gi joe accessories more gi joe spring loaded missile launchers All of them have that Except the bad guys the bad guys actually look like they have some unique accessories Um, now this is kind of cool. This uh, this is uh, lieutenant koalski um, um That's not the name of the love interest in red dwarf. That was kazanski. I think or Kazanski something like that, but not koal. This is koalski one thing I liked about this one is Check that out. It comes with a little mini aw striker That's kind of cool It comes with a mini. Oh, it's a baby. It's a baby aw striker Uh, that's that's kind of cool. Um, but yeah, you recognize that that's a That's a a gi joe accessory So, yeah, there's um Um, so hasbro mid 90s. They're like we got this license for um We got this license for uh for this movie stargates It's gonna be really big gonna be really great, but we won't we don't want to spend any money on it Um We don't want to spend we's no money. So what can we do to cut costs? Why what can we do to spend? Absolutely nothing. Well, just look in the warehouse. Do you have any gi joe accessories? We can just throw in this That doesn't matter if they fit or not. It doesn't matter if they make any sense It doesn't matter if they appeared in the movie or not Uh, just throw them in there. Just throw them in there. It'll be if kids don't care, right? Kids will just lose them anyway Well little did they know Kids didn't have any interest in these toys because they were crap Uh, instead they were collected and kept on the card for a later resale many decades later Um, and uh, no, we didn't lose the pieces. They're still in there. They're still in there So, yes, we we've gone a little crazy, but This is one that doesn't take a lot to To collect these are not expensive Um, they they're not expensive even still sealed on the card in the box And there aren't very many of them. So you can you can get a complete run. You can get a complete set Uh, really cheap Which I love because this is Uh hilarious was the original movie rated r. I don't know. I don't remember. That's a good question But if it was, you know, that was that was no barrier because like there were tons of toy lines from our rated movies Especially in the 80s. We loved that um but Yeah, so that's an easy one That's it's really no effort at all to to get these guys and they are hilarious. The these are like Uh, good bad movies, you know, you know a good bad movie that's bad, but still entertaining because it's so bad these these these are These are entertaining. These are entertaining because They are so bad and they put so Little effort into these. It's it's incredible. You can just see the decision-making process Uh at work in these these lumps of plastic Hilarious hilarious. I love it. Um, Marian says pretty sure pg 13 that could be Um A raw o-ring figure had the best playability of all toys that they are obviously my favorite, but there's a lot going for it See There's nothing necessarily magic About the o-ring figures or the three and three quarter in scale, but there kind of is There kind of is um Uh kelden says a plus trivia here stargate was the first movie to use a website to promote it. Hey, that's very high tech and and um, I think there was Um, there's a packaging variant on some of these where I think they uh advertised either the website or a game or something But uh Um Yeah, only stargate. We're done. We only talk about gi joe on this show. That's all we talk about this That's a gi joe focused show Uh, I was as I was saying there's nothing magic about the o-ring or the three and three quarter inch scale except there kind of is Because the o-ring construction gives you about the best articulation you can get at that scale So you have your your your elbows. You have your knees. You have your your ball jointed head You have torso movement. You have, you know swivel arm battle grip. You have A pretty good articulation at that scale with the o-ring figure construction and That scale is about the perfect scale For a line that includes a lot of vehicles At that scale you can get vehicles that are Not too expensive And also not too big So that they can you can play with them. They can they can fit lots of action figures in them And they can be more available whereas if if they're in a larger scale then the You can not have as many vehicles and the vehicles that you do have will have to be bigger To accommodate the larger size and if they are smaller like mask Like mask action figures, they were smaller Um, you can you can shrink the vehicle size down, but you also have Smaller accessories more easy to lose. You have less articulation. You have less detail There's just you can't do as much at the smaller scale So that three and three-quarter inch scale gives you a great balance of Large enough to add some detail and have some decent accessories Small enough to fit in vehicles and have lots of vehicles in the line um that that That scale that scale and that construction for o-ring figures Um, that I I believe that's a large part of why it was successful and copied It was copied by by others by By other toy lines because it works, you know at that scale For for its purpose for for a toy line that needs to have vehicles. It's the perfect scale Um Mask and I love mask. I was a fan of mask as a kid Um, and the the vehicles for mask are really cool with the transforming features They had like the spring loaded, you know Transformer where they could just hit a button and like they they transformed. They're really cool really cool Also not in gi joe scale. So not compatible um and And they're small though the figures are are very small small enough that It would be impractical to try to give them more articulation than they had um It just it just wouldn't work at that scale so Yeah, so this this is the sweet spot the three and three-quarter inch scale is the sweet spot for An action figure toy line that you actually want to play with right now. You've got for instance You've got six inch action figures like like our friend gung-ho here You've got six inch action figures like this guy Um, they don't have I mean they do have some vehicles in the classified line But as expected they can only really do the smaller vehicles The his tank is the largest one that they've done They had to do that as a has lab project and you know, it's it's it's Big it's really big and expensive The purpose of these guys though is not so much play as display These are made to put up on a shelf and look really nice You know and and lock into whatever pose you want to put it in But uh, you cannot get a lot of vehicles with this Scale what you can get with this scale is more detail and uh more intricate accessories You know, that's you can do that at this scale. You can't do As much at the three and three-quarter inch scale Um So it's a trade-off right it's a trade-off. It's a larger scale more detail more intricate accessories more accessories um, but you lose The the the size that gives you vehicles and has a lot of play value Um mask pretty much stole the transformation feature from star com. That's right star com man Mask gets a lot more attention than star com But I do remember star com star com was really cool. Um, I don't think I had a lot of star com vehicles But I know that I had some Um star com would be that would be a cool toy line to look here This is why I can't start collecting everything that's cool, right? I can't start thinking Wow, I remember star com. I want to get star com I can't do that if I start getting everything that's cool, then my It'll I will be I'll be buried in an avalanche of stuff because there's too much. There's lots of cool stuff Uh Milwaukee allen says muscle were very weird. Yes Yes, they were. Uh, yes, they were Joe fan says, uh, I hate that they got rid of the marine tattoo I was I was wondering if maybe there was some legal reason for that um, it this one is larger and than the first version uh, because you know, uh Tattoos will sometimes change size spontaneously sometimes, you know, if you have a tattoo watch out for it It will spontaneously change sides and move to other parts of your body This one changed size And you can see at the larger Size that it does have an eagle. It does have a globe. It does not have an anchor It has like a dagger through the metal. So I think they were trying to make it similar to the marine core, uh emblem, but The vintage figure was able to have the the marine core, uh emblem the the The later like modern gung-ho figures had the marine tattoo So what is it about now? That they can't put the marine tattoo on gung-ho. I have no idea This is a question that is for People above my pay grade and a question that I would really love to know I would I'd love to know the answer to that. I don't know. We'll get an answer to that But I would love to know I would love to know But and it may be some some legal reason there. There may be some legality to it Um, although I don't know what that would be um, they did modify the Uh, the emblem a little bit for the original gung-ho figure. It's not exactly the same, but it's it's recognizable um International said see I I thought about that too, but um Gung-ho has gone out for international sales with the marine logo as well That I mean it could be it could be but But here's the thing international Uh customers they're either going to know The reference they know who gung-ho is or they want gung-ho to look like gung-ho or They're not going to know and they don't recognize the tattoo and they don't even know what it is In which case they're not going to recognize this either I mean this is this is not replacing it with with something else that has the same meaning So it's not like it's giving those those customers Something that they will recognize over the marine core emblem. Um, so I don't know it I don't know but I mean yes, it doesn't matter. It's it's not it's not vital. It's not life or death or anything But but it's something that I'm curious about Air Raiders says Michael Mitchell. I I remember air Raiders. I don't I didn't get into air Raiders as much But I do remember them um Fair amount of them to still have them around. Um, uh, yeah, um Yeah, uh, uh, I'm sorry. I'm not keeping up with the chat. I'm I can't read that fast Um, uh Targus had captain power the spaceship and vhs. Oh, yeah, I was mentioning to Marianne about captain power captain power was very cool Very cool toyline. Um, hello future fortress maximus Chris over at full force said at one point that Hasbro told him the reason But he's not allowed to say See that and that means to me that that's it's some kind of legal issue. Um, and if that's what it is, you know, whatever It's not the end of the world. It's not vital but You know, it's it it is part of this character Raymond says love your shirt. Oh, thank you and credit to chris from comic tropes for for sending me my my first, uh Cosplay, you know cosplaying tire force outback So so thank you chris. Yeah, and outback is hosting the show As you can see here today because uh, because this shirt was clean So so that's what we went with Yeah, so, uh I don't know. Maybe maybe at some point in the future, you know, when When when all of this is Is history when all of this is a bit further back in the past We can get some answers on why certain things were done. I would like to know for historical purposes For historical purposes, I would really like to know How some of these decisions were made. It's I would like to know Sparks just saw a small captain power play set at the toy show 225 in the box that is interesting and it's a play set I know they in They had the vehicles they had the ships right and they had the figures on the cards and they did have some Like small play sets. They had like a charging station or something like that. I don't remember all the play sets um but um But I know they had some I don't know. I can't think right off mind um I can't think right off the top of my head um What they were but For those of you don't know probably everybody in here does know but the gimmick of captain power was that you that you could shoot at the tv show or the vhs tape with the Uh the spaceship And it would register hits and the show would shoot back at you too And you could take hits from the show. So you would uh, yeah, you could It was interactive. It was very a very early interactive show Really cool innovative idea very very interesting Um, oh Raymond got his replacement sky striker yesterday. Congratulations. Congratulations You know the sky striker It had some issues however My issues have been resolved And it seems like other people's issues are starting to get resolved So what the problems that we had with the sky striker when we first got it those seemed to be ironing out finally Um, so congratulations Raymond on your sky striker um Oh, it's like it's uh, it is eight minutes till eight o'clock by my clock And we can't go late because what's on Joe mind will start their show and I don't want to run over their time um Sparks has said remember seeing the power base place said um Had all the shooting toys. Yeah a small area. Yeah, that's right. Um, uh, there was yeah There was like the power base like a power recharger or something like that I has where probably didn't want to pay the license fee slash ask permission for usmc logo since usmc started Cracking down on who could use the logo that maybe that may very well be the answer if that's the answer I think there's no harm though in um in uh Just saying that, you know, you just just say that just say, you know, we couldn't get the license So we had to do something else. That's fine. You know, I that's a completely acceptable answer Um, so if that's the answer, you just just say that, you know, you you do these fans streams these live streams um I just say yeah, you know, we know that you guys like the The the bird ball and anchor But we couldn't do that. So we did something as close to it as we could that's fine That's fine. Uh, the quiet science silence says, uh says apologies to gung ho apologies for why Oh, oh, yeah. Yeah, I forgot. Well, yeah, this No, we haven't opened this yet. Um, we're we're about out of time. Look, I can't do this in six minutes because It'll take me that much time to get this thing out. Just we wouldn't be able to look at it So I want to save this uh for a time when we can actually look at it And and actually enjoy it. I'll I'll hang on to it. Well, we'll get to that next week. Um, but Um, but we had a great show. Wasn't this a great show? We talked about great many things. We talked about the eight We sorry we talked about the a team You know, we talked about charbroil a little bit I had the we talked more about the the the difficulty in the review of charbroil We talked about we talked about stargate A little bit. We got that in just just a touch mostly talking about gi joe Um, in addition to that, um, uh Michael j or i'm sorry j michael strazinski directed the captain power tv show. There is a really cool documentary About the captain power tv show and the production of it. It was on YouTube, I don't know if it still is but there is a really good documentary out about that. It's definitely worth checking out Um, I bet it's a bet. I hope his name is easier for it. Oh, um, gi Franzi says I bet it's a bet. I hope this name is easier for you. Absolutely Uh gi franzi Gi franzi. Thank you for joining gi franzi. Nice to see you here. That's an easy name to pronounced gi franzi but, um What was I saying? Oh, yeah, so we mostly talked about gi joe. I will reiterate a couple of things. First of all, it is Tuesday Make sure you check out timbers video Um, also it is Tuesday. Make sure you check out what's on joe mine live stream directly after this one also, um The once again the review that I'm working on has had technical difficulties And specifically this time the technical difficulty had to do with um, I had the microphone off When I was recording so Some of it had no audio and I'm gonna have to go back and fix that that's a really frustrating Uh problem to have because You do it and you get it right, you know, you work on it. You get it right and you're like, this is it I'm satisfied. I can move on only to find out you have to do it again It's hard to do it again To that same level, especially since you're less enthusiastic You're less enthusiastic because you know, you you've already put all this effort into it and you're having to rehash the whole thing um, but but anyway, anyway, um, so We've got about, uh, three minutes by my clock. Uh, I want to thank everyone Stay safe on the holodex. We did talk about the holodex too. I'm glad we finally got that issue resolved So so they don't have somebody going and squeegee the holodex, right? They just recycle everything so that you know at some part of if you if you have the You ask the replicator to make you a pair of boots Uh, at least part of those boots is poop So you have poop boots. So that's That's the the 20 24th and a half century for you. Uh, covert conversion seven. Yes. I'm also working on that. I'm trying to work on that um It's things have been getting in the way because the reviews have been taking longer because of all the issues It's been harder for me to get to the other things that I need to do Also, one another thing I was intending to do was post, um, Uh, something on the social medias for, uh, sketch commissions Uh, joe fest is around the corner joe fest is around the corner. I need to Raise some funds to go to joe fest and what the way I usually do that is I offer sketch commissions Um, I'll post something about that as soon as I can but I have just like Nothing is gone, right? Nothing. Well, not at not there are a few things have been gone, right? A few things have gone, right? But in the realm of getting videos done many things have not gone Gone, right? And I'm having to overcome. I'm having to improvise. I'm having to To overcome obstacles and I'm working on it. Um, but at any rate, this is about the time to head out. Oh, hello cober island Um, uh has the perfect thing for cc seven. That's per that's great because we need the perfect thing Um, uh low one bow two says about one of my drawings at last year at joe fest. Thank you very much That's appreciated that really helps that really does help that helps a lot. It really helps a ton. Uh, so, um, um Yeah, always things that have gone, right? That is true. Uh, vitris is correct. Um Uh, yeah, it's always easier to do the second time says gi foran z. Yeah, I I hope so I hope so but it's just frustrating that I should have to do it and it's time It's more time. I have to do it. So, uh, but anyway, now is the time to wrap it up Uh, it's we're in the last minute. I don't want to go over Go out and check out what's on joe mind. They have a show coming up next Thank you all for watching. I will be back next week Uh with with the live stream. I will also hopefully Have a video up for you on sunday.
