 Hello everybody hooded cobra commander 788 here. It's time for another donation unboxing video This is for February 2019. I'm actually shooting this just a few days after I shot the January unboxing video Because wouldn't you know it right after I finished that video I got another box and I don't want to leave this stuff in this box for a whole month Till the end of February to open it up So I'm gonna go ahead and open this up and if I get any other donations for February I will put this with it. This box came from Jay Ulrich. Some of you may know Mr. Ulrich. He's a regular in our weekly live stream. He sent this rather Substantial box. I have already cut it open so we can take a look inside. He sent this to my new PO box I will put the PO box address on the screen now Any donations to the channel can be made there, but once again, I want to reiterate You should never feel obligated to send anything to me. You do not have to give things to me I'm grateful just to have you here and watching my videos So thank you for being here and thank you to Mr. Ulrich for sending this. Okay, so let's see what's inside We have packing material We have a letter All right, we have a letter. Let's see what the letter says All right It says hello HCC 788 I've been watching your channel for several years now and I wanted to share some Joe stuff I have found hunting in flea markets and auctions. Thank you and thanks for sticking around for such a long time I really appreciate that You do a great service to the Joe collecting community. Thank you I've learned a lot by watching the channel keep up the superb work sir respectful respectfully Jonathan Ulrich. Thank you very much John And there's also it says I've enclosed a resilient stalker A cobra wolf, which I restored from a shell also include Enclosed a few other figures. So thank you for this And as I've said before all letters that I get like this. I'm keeping all of these These are the mementos that I will take with me Even even after all the toys are gone. I want to have your letters In a safe place. So I will keep this with the other letters that I've sent So that I can look back on them in the future. So thank you, John Let's see what's in the box and I see something I See something right off the top All right, this is something that I've been thinking about for quite some time It is are you ready for it here? Oh Facing this way. All right big reveal it is Bell launch box from 1982 Sorry, I did I don't I didn't have one of these I've been thinking about getting one for quite some time But I love this it is It has some artwork that's kind of unique to the the lunchbox and I absolutely Love the artwork on this thing. I love the way the Joes look in this painted artwork It's kind of an understated style. You know, it's not like over-the-top action It's got kind of a semi realistic style to it and I just love this I can stare at it for hours So thank you, John. This is special This is something that I've been looking at for quite some time and I did not have one And it is heavy and so it feels like there's stuff in it So I'm gonna open it and see what's in it You may have just like packed some extra packing material in there If the thermos is in there, so it doesn't rattle around, so let's see Open it up. It does have the thermos. Oh it has This appears I believe this is the gun for the buzz bore I think But it does have the thermos there you go There that Yeah, that's awesome. Let me see if I can zoom in a little bit Find my remote find the clicker and yeah, look at this. There is the thermos Yeah, this is just classic 80s. There's some more stuff in here, too. Let me see What's that? Okay? Oh Cool, I don't know what this figure is, but it's awesome. I know what that is That's a toxo viper Remember the toxo viper was the last surviving Joe for my childhood. Oh A cobra eel my favorite army builder the cobra eel There's oh look this For GI Joe team members members only top secret see inside for special offer Oh, it's a little look it's a hooded cobra commander male away offer That's so awesome. That's so awesome. Oh Look at that. This is the Brazilian stalker. Oh look at that color I don't know if you can see this and I'll take it out of the bag But this must be the Brazilian stalker As I've said before I don't collect international But I kind of do like to have a sampling of international figures because Sorry Because they're really cool But check out the coloring on that stalker. I don't know if you can see it, but like The coloring is different from the US version. That's just amazing Just I'm gonna put them back because I don't want to Accidentally damage it But how cool is that? So thank you for that. There's more in here Carefully dig in here Carefully Let's see take some of the packing material out. What are these guys these blue guys? I'm not familiar with with these. Hold on. Maybe I can Let's see No, I can't read it So these these are non-joe, but they're really interesting figures. Let me zoom in a little bit and Not sure what that's from so Hints clues and suggestions welcome. There's that guy and there's another one Another one here and we have oh, hey Something post vintage This is a night force beach head. I don't remember what year this is from But it's after the vintage era, but you know it has uses that classic beach head Mold but in night force colors I have seen this figure before I had I don't have one. Well, I guess I do now. Thank you John But really interesting way that they Converted this to a night force figure So really cool. So that's everything that's in the lunchbox So let's zoom it out and see what else we got first I think I'm gonna put everything back in here just to keep it safe. All right Let's see what else is in here. He said there was a cobra wolf in here. I don't see it yet. What I see is a thermos from another GI Joe lunchbox, and I believe this is like a 1988 or 89 thermos From like one of the plastic lunchboxes when they went to plastic instead of metal Yeah, what's got snake eyes on it. It's got rock and roll version two on it So that's really cool. I may have to start taking my lunches to work in this Okay. Oh, I see it. I see the cobra wolf So let's pull this out This is one that he restored from a shell Okay, hey that gun is for this hold on that gun that I thought was for the buzz board is for this There you go Very nice cobra wolf. It doesn't have the gun on it, but it's I put it back in the lunchbox I'll put that on when I'm done here and inside the cobra wolf is a Snow serpent. I'm sorry. I'll put that back on a snow serpent And this is another great army builder a snow serpent is an excellent figure So and an appropriate of course for the cobra wolf So really nice. Looks like it's got some good wheels on that It's that's always the biggest problem with these cobra wolves is the wheels The little pegs that hold the wheels on tend to break. It's nice to see this one's in pretty good shape So, thank you, John. Nice restoration on that. Looks like you got all the missiles And the the ski torpedoes It's looking good. So well done. Well done. So that may be it That's not it. I see more I see more Let me make sure this is out enough so I can see And I don't want to oh Look at that. Okay Keeping with the theme of lunchboxes. This is a thermos from what looks like the 1987 plastic lunch box And I had you know, I didn't have any of these I have seen them of course But I hadn't picked any up yet. But right there is the thermos. It's got the the defiant there It's got the cobra mamba It's got some 87 characters there So really nice nice artwork on this thermos And I saw something else in here Yeah, that's so cool Oh, yeah, you'll get a kick out of this also in here is a pair of kids size obviously House shoes or slippers Gijo with sergeant slaughter on there check that out If only they would fit me which way to go if only they would fit me I would totally wear these Check out the camouflage And the sergeant slaughter prints with the triple T tank This is just super 80s So that's that's a fun and unique item. I didn't even know these existed Obviously, I didn't have them so I just went through the packing material. Just make sure I didn't miss anything I think we got everything. So thank you, John. That is so cool. It's very cool of you to send this. Thank you very much I don't know if I will get anything else for February if I do I will add more to this video. Holy cow Yes, we got more packages in February a lot more I should have waited to record that first segment But it was late enough in the month that I didn't think we would get more stuff But we definitely got more stuff. So I'm gonna open this stuff up show you what we got We got some packages from some old friends and from some new friends So this should be really interesting. I did go ahead and cut the boxes So it'll be easier for me to get into them. But let's find out what everybody sent us I have three boxes from Brandon Knight and Brandon He's an old friend of the channel. He's helped out before and he's sent a lot of stuff before so He's has now three boxes here So I'm gonna go through these one at a time and see what Brandon sent us and I'm gonna start with this smaller one Because it was on top So let's see what Brandon sent us. It looks like we have a letter from Brandon It says dear HCC 788 love the new intro. Thank you very much The new reviews are great and well done when you need a more Cobra reviews, you're right Hey, I'm working on those Cobra reviews I love the Joe's but I like like I told my grandfather many years ago need more bad guys How else are you going to play GI Joe without bad guys? That's a good point. I keep up the good work I keep having fun. Hope you see to see you at Joe Fest. Yes, Joe Fest coming up in June I will be there It says PS more GI Joe figures to help Future reviews. Hope these help out. Also, there's a special figure. I would like you to review for my birthday Sunday, May 26th This will be cool for my birthday. Okay So let's see what he sent us here. We have some bubble wrap always important Let's see here. We have I See I don't know if this is the one the special one or not I'm not sure which one is the special one. Make sure you let me know which one is the special one Brandon But this one is Well here gets when you zoom it in so you can see it's overkill It's the Cobra bat leader. Let me take him out of the bag so you can see a little better. Oh I just saw I saw another figure in the box and maybe that one's the special one. Hold on a second here But let's let's finish looking at overkill Yeah overkill over kills a special figure it's interesting anyway, so There's there's overkill with file card, so thank you for very much for that Let me put them back in the bag so I don't lose them And let's see what else is in this box, and I'm seeing one right here that is pretty amazing and special to me And that would be Wow, this is awesome this is Night Force shockwave Holy cow Uh Brandon this is Extremely generous Is this the special figure including the file card because it looks pretty special to me? Let's slide the figure out real quick that that That looks to be in really nice shape and as some of you may know by now these night force figures are Are not easy to come by And it looks like all the accessories are here. It looks complete to me. Well, thank you Brandon. That is amazing. This is huge And you know I'm a big fan of shockwave anyway But this night force version is really sweet, so thank you Brandon for that And in addition to that we've got oh we got some cool stuff. We're not done in addition to that we have a Hooded cobra commander from what year was this one was it like 92 I think and then The cobra viper version What version was this one? It's got a nice color scheme It's like I want to say version three of the cobra viper the one after the Python patrol version So really nice figures really nice indeed Including the very rare Night force Shockwave this is That's incredible. So if that's the one that you're thinking of as the special one let me know but Thanks, Brandon. That's awesome. So let's look at another box that Brandon Is has sent Keeping of course, I always keep the letters, so We will zoom out a little bit. I always keep the letters that everyone sends so Here is the second box that Brandon sent I don't know if it's the second box he sent the may have sent them in a different order But this is the second one. I'm opening again because it's on top Let's see. Oh, this is That's well, first of all, we've got a bag of missiles and guns and figure stands. So that's that's great I can never have too many figure stands And I've got some packing popcorn. I just I can see what's in here. You guys are gonna get a kick out of this It is Manimals Yeah, still on the card and I think this these were released. I think they were KB toys exclusives. I think but There it is Manimals This is war wolf war wolf So, oh, we got another letter got another letter Brandon says I hope your family you and your family are doing well and And doing great a great video on the Dallas vintage toy stores. Thank you makes me want to visit the place one day in my life In this package are the animals all three of them really? And are here and ready for a review in the future. Yeah, there's another one. This one is Sly thore Then they have names kind of like he-man villains I know these are not vintage technically But they are Create they were created originally for the vintage line. That's true Then canceled for the south sergeant savage toy line. It would be fun to hear your thoughts on these figures Will you review them separately or together also weird history on the creation of these figures keep up to great work Never stop playing with your toys. Thank you, Brandon and Yeah, I don't know I since I didn't have these before I didn't have any plan really for how I would review them because I hadn't thought of it, but Iguanas iguanas is the name of that one. These are hilarious and I'll I'm gonna have to just take a closer look at them because I'm not actually all that familiar with animals and I will need to Familiarize myself with them to even understand what even in the heck I'm looking at But thank you Brandon. This is highly amusing And I look forward to taking a closer look at them Okay, so let's go ahead and finish off the boxes that Brandon sense so there is one more It is not on top But I'm gonna go ahead and finish off the stuff that Brandon senses some Brandon went through all the trouble to send so much I want to go ahead and open it so he has here a letter oh These are for a green yet. He wanted to help the kid get GI Joe figures that are hard to find and collect They will make him very happy. Also. I put together a small army build a kid should have dreams And sometimes a dream should come true if I can make one kid dream dream come true Then I'm happy to do this one kind act Makes all the difference in the world. Please help these figures get to the right journey Well green Yeti if you're watching I understand that at least you said that you'll be at Joe Fest Looks like I'll have to bring these with me. Let's see what What's Brandon said this the first ever? Box of toys that's been sent to me, but has not actually been specifically for me So I'll try to make sure these do get to the right destination Let's see what we got But wait should we wait and let green Yeti be surprised Brandon has done. I'm going to I'm gonna keep the letter with it Thanks Thanks Brandon for that actually thinks I want to thank you for that even though this isn't for me, but thank you for Thinking of your fellow fans That is very generous, and I think that's a good way to treat your fellow fans He said a good example. So thank you very much for that. So that's all that I have from Brandon Let's see what else we got now this Um This actually is something that I've opened previously, but I wanted to show it to you This is an action man Intelligence manual this is from the UK.

Yeah This is a custom of quinn from the comic book quinn, uh, the character that was a friend of snake eyes The inuit that was first introduced in issue number two. We never got a vintage action figure But uh, this is a nice custom. Um a good use of the chest because it's got the machine gun belt Good use of a head looks reasonably like him and It looks like he got the weasel skull necklace Which of course quinn had Had his weasel skull necklace. Um, and he's got we got um Roadblocks machine gun because Quinn did have a machine gun in the backpack So that's awesome. So really cool. Thank you very much.

I can't remember what year the hammer came out But of course, this is a gi jo interpretation of the humvee Um, it is Uh, a fantastic vehicle, especially for a 90s vehicle. Uh, it's a beautiful thing Um What it is usually missing, uh, is the antenna It had a big curved antenna that attached here and curved up and hooked onto the roof here Um, the plastic on it, uh, you know, not that sturdy plus, you know, it bends So it's just it's bound to break and it often did. So That's what is usually missing on this particular vehicle But this is in great shape. Uh, and I am a big fan of the hammer. Um Just a great vehicle.
