It was a challenge It was a challenge that one seemed to have lots of things that went wrong Hello dragon balls Thanks for joining dragon balls and Rick Foley and Ken now an explorer. So how do you do the Great Snake rules forever? That's right. Don't forget it Don't forget it. Hey Ryan Sweeney From Michigan in the USA. Hello, Michigan from the United States. Nice to see you Thank you very much for being here. I do have news. I do have news and My news is at the ass end of this Of this plastic Biter jet toy right here. We'll get to that though. We'll get to that. You know what? You know what I didn't do I Didn't I didn't do any show notes. I didn't do any prep work I was busy trying to get things over here at the last minute. So I didn't I don't I'm totally Unprepared I'm going into this cold But I've been thinking I've been I've been thinking about something that I May help some of you. Maybe not But there's been something on my mind. Hello Chrissy Chrissy says yellow. That's her favorite color probably No, consider this. Hello the blue Libra. Hello, Chris. I do want to say hello to everybody I want to say hi But I this has been this has been weighing on my mind. Okay, so before we get to the usual weekly announcements I've been thinking about this Follow me. Okay. I'm sure many of us have been in an employment situation Oh, thank you the killer user for the super chat any word from Kevin not a word from Kevin Haven't heard from Kevin in well over a year. I guess closer to two years now So I don't hey, it's Nessa. Hello, Baronessa. Nice to see you. Yes thinking is dangerous. Hello the photo viper Hello the figure six pack. Okay, but follow me here. Oh, hello sergeant slaughter slaughterhouse. Hello. Hey, we got Rob here We got Zazel here. We've got the the Australian contingent in the house. Hello Australia from the United States I've been thinking follow me here. Okay So I'm sure we've all been in an employment situation where we've we've been very frustrated at the boss You know and we want to quit right? We get we're just angry because this guy is just so dumb And we want to walk up to him and say I have had enough I quit All right, I know we've all felt this probably probably but consider this next time before you do that go up to your boss and Say I have had enough you quit See this is this is the genius of it. All right, because you're not the problem. He's the problem Why should you have to leave? He should he should leave So instead of going up there and saying and saying I quit you say you quit Now I really think this is gonna be I think this is gonna work because I've done the math This is scientific. This is scientific Because the way I figure it only one of three things can happen one you could get fired But you were gonna quit anyway. You're not any worse off to By some kind of reverse psychology your boss may actually think that he has quit I mean, he's not too bright. We've established that already. He's not too bright So so you might actually get him to walk out and then problem solved, right or three Nothing happens and you're still No worse off than you were it can't fail. It can't fail. You're welcome. I feel like this This could be the the thing that helps a lot of people in their job situations Go up to your boss when you've had enough and you say I've had enough you quit and Then you know, hopefully knock on wood, you know, that'll it'll play out in your favor okay, so Yes, Marianne has has has done that. Hello Andre and David Andrews. Nice to see you. Hello stone gate creations killer user Okay. Oh, hey, hello rat face 44 reviews. Nice to see you. Thank you for being here.

We got Goodness gracious Okay, so the engines for this arrived yesterday, okay And I just dropped a missile. I just knocked it right off okay so This is the haz lab sky striker on the stand and I do I do rather dig this the stand so I Decided to go ahead and put this thing together because I want to get in front of camera I want to do a proper review of it and a compare and contrast with With the vintage sky striker, which I just got out of mothball This thing has had to live in a box for a while, you know, you know, I have the USS flag I have the aircraft carrier, but it was taking up a lot of space and I don't have that much space here So I had to disassemble it and since then the sky striker has has had to live in a box But I have retrieved it so we can do a quick compare and contrast contrast with the new one And I do want to point a few things out But I did I assembled this last night Hey, it's Hans. Hello, Hans. Nice to see you, Hans Hello K dog and Vittress and Joe fan 84 and and everyone else that came in in case I missed you It's very nice to have you on a nice Tuesday. Yes. Yes, we're gonna look We're gonna take a look at the skies. It's no longer a glider as as JLS says it's not gliding anymore. It has It has the engines it has the things that are required to make it go Uh, somebody said a gust of Georgia. That's where Joe Fest is. I'm working on it. I'm working on it. I'm working on it Okay, okay, um, but before we get into that, okay, I gave my my very Valuable employment advice now. I want to remind me everybody of two things First today is Tuesday. You probably knew that already, but not only is today Tuesday It is a new Episode of half the battle. So Timmer has a new video up. It is a review of Mortal Kombat Raiden Yes, Hasbro made Mortal Kombat figures Yes, they did just reuse a bunch of GI Joe parts to do it Just like they did with Street Fighter 2 but But Raiden from Mortal Kombat Timmer has reviewed that that is his new video and Oh Chris Comic-Trope says that Hasbro apologize in any way Here's what they did. I mean they they are when they sent updates through the email updates through their customer care thing Each email said we're sorry. We're gonna try to make it better. So in that sense, they did apologize Oh, hello white Vegeta. Nice to see you. Hello, Joshua. Yes. I'm glad I got my engines as well So in that in that sense, they did apologize, but The the engines themselves came in an envelope That I just I opened up and there's Nothing else in it. No, no notes, you know, no Printout or anything just a plastic bag with the two engines. That's it That is that is all that but that's okay. That's that's what I was needing That's I need they got the thing to me that I needed and and it is it is assembled The other thing I want to remind everybody of is it is Tuesday. You knew that already in fact, I mentioned that a minute ago, but it's Tuesday and Right after this show at eight o'clock central time You will you'll what's on Joe mind has their live show It's and they're they're doing something with the guys who do the after-action report which Command files Special so I check out what's on Joe mind find out about that I have a link in the description of this video Those are the things that I needed to remind you of What and what else I Apologized to gung-ho. They oh, yeah, I did run I forgot about I thought I forgot about gung-ho I forgot about gung-ho. What if we have time if we have we don't I don't want to go over time But if we have time we'll look at gung-ho, okay What the heck was I talking about okay, yeah, anyway So I got this and I'm gonna get to this here in momentarily Before I get to that though Before we get to that before we get to that I Wanted to thank Chris again and Timmer for help with the the cyber viper Review that thing was a pain in the nuggets not because of the guys. I mean Chris and Timmer. They're always great I love working with them. They're very good friends And and really great sports about everything First of all, I didn't have the figure Complete I had to find one. I could not find one locally. I had to order one And then when I ordered it when I got it in I realized that Two of the accessories were not gray, but silver Which is incorrect So two of the accessories it looked complete at a glance, but the accessories were Two of the accessories were incorrect. They were wrong. So now I've got to try to find The correct accessories for the cyber viper and the cyber viper was not produced in large numbers The the the cyber viper was not they didn't make a ton of them. So it's a semi rare figure ish So it's not so easy to just go find an accessory here and there But I did I did find them but in order to get one of the accessories I had to get another Incomplete cyber viper so now now it seems I'm army building cyber viper's That's not something I ever intended to do but anyway, but I did find it I have the both accessories. I had to get another incomplete cyber viper At great at great expense by the way, please support the channel on patreon, you know Your your advertising dollar goes farther It's I did get it the figure was atrocious yes, I agree a vertical bar over the mouth What what what is what does that mean? What's the point of that? I don't understand But but here's the thing. I did find them I was had to have them shipped to me, but they were late getting out. Oh, thank you Joe fan 84 my son mr. S. Hello, mr. S says hi He's watching from his mother's house. He can't comment because of parental settings But he wants to make sure you know he's here. Well, thank you for showing up as usual mr.

I thank you from comic tropes for the super chat was cyber viper expensive ultimately. Yes It turned out to be rather expensive getting not one but two But I wanted to get the silly thing done and I thought well if I if I just break down and do it then It'll I you know it'll get in and it'll get done Oh, thank you Matt Rubin cyber viper's get picked because they they talk too much. See see that's they that's a good point They they they're chatting everybody's ear off and the souls they get they get a They they get the hush the hush helmet Put the put the hush helmet on I thank you articulated Chad for cyber viper accessory support We'll be good to see you in June again. Yes, absolutely. Absolutely. I thank you very much for the super chat Yeah, so I did find the accessories, but they were late shipping and they took forever to get there So whereas if they had come in on time, I would have had I would have had that review ready the week before But it ended up being yet another week late Because because this I couldn't get the thing Ready to review and it just like it seemed like nothing I would do would make the thing There are some reviews that are like that. Oh, hello codename new to vero 2. It's nice to see you Thank you very much for being here and this guy This guy says hello to and then he goes away Raymond Sheffield who do you which two figs are you gonna pilot pilot your size guys tracker?

Oh, thank you. Thank you bad. Uh, excuse me. Thank you baddie for the super chat Hey, cc. Do you have anything special planned for april fools like doing a review of some non-joe item? I do in fact I do I do in fact have something in mind For april fools. I do um and the reason I do Is because I actually worked out my schedule today. Uh, marianne of my uh, what were we saying? Um malady Um marianne was over here earlier today and she can attest That I spent a large portion of the day Figuring out my schedule. Uh, so I have figured out the schedule Uh through april. I think there are a couple of gaps in may but through june With a gap so I can go to show fast through most of july which is cobra conversions working on that too Working on that too. So uh, so yes the bad a to answer your question. I do have something in mind It's possible. I may change my mind It's possible, but I have an idea I at least I have an idea. So we'll see we'll see how april fools goes, but thankfully now Now that it's uh, march 7th Now that it's march 7th. I I finally have done, you know, uh part of the year's schedule You know, which I usually do, you know at the first of the year We're only three months in now and finally I've done my my schedule Um, yes, see I have testimony. I have proof. I did in fact Do the schedule today. So, um, I so I know what's coming up that that's gonna help a lot That's gonna help a lot. I've I've had some Issues lately with fatigue and just not having the energy I know is you can tell that my energy is low right now, right? You can tell my energy is low, but for real though, I've I've had some issues with low energy lately. So um Having a plan Helps I I have a road road map Um Schedule is packed. Uh, do you leave some time for the throne room? I I did leave some time I specifically scheduled time in the throne room. Thank you. Thank you for thinking of me Um, uh, vitreous. I appreciate the thought. It's a nice thought. I I appreciate it. Um Mary Ann says you can blame the lateness on it. No, the lateness is not Lateness is not Mary Ann's fault Mary Ann's it's nothing but a help. Let me tell you what she did. Okay. Let me tell you what she did Um, not only did I do the schedule today For the next video I started doing a few of the pluralliminary stuff. Hello, Mikey Uh, thanks for being here. I started doing some of the preliminary stuff like I drew the uh, the thumbnail image Um, now last time when I was drawing the cyber viper thumbnail image, which the cyber viper thumbnail image is Intentionally kind of silly looking. That's the whole idea But I was commenting as I was trying to draw this thing that uh, my style I was ruining all my stylus pens and I was running out of stylus pens because I I really abused those things For those of you who don't know I draw I draw the thumbnail image on my phone um That's that's how I do it So I draw it on my phone with a with a stylus But I'm really brutal on them. I'm really brutal brutal on them Uh, and I I I tear the the nibs. I press down a lot. It feels natural if it's a pen and paper But you know, it's just a habit I press down and I ruin all of them Well, this this is what this woman did for me. She got me 200 Stylus pens 200 two big bags full of stylus pens, which is fantastic That's fantastic. So I'm good for stylus pens. I will be able to draw. I will be able to draw Um Oh Han says if you need some backup for thumbnail art, uh, you can tag keep uh, your boy me in Thank you. Hans and Hans has helped in the past. I appreciate that very much I do I want to be careful how much I take from other people You know Professional artists deserve to be paid for their work. So I'm I'm always reluctant to to take too much But the the help is very much appreciated. It really is it really is. Oh, hello Cobra island. Nice to see you Now, thank you very much for being here Cobra island Um So, yes, so so thank you, Mary Ann. That was very thoughtful. That was very thoughtful now Now that it's 720 Let's talk sky striker because I got this thing in Um, I don't know sometime last month. This is the has lab sky striker It's the new one. I put it on the stand to put it on the stand You do need you you have to remove the fuel tank from underneath Uh, because that's where it goes But uh, but I do like the stand the stand you can tilt it in all kinds of different ways Let me see if I can get this on camera But you can tilt it and it balances pretty well it balances pretty well so you can do All kinds of angles. I do like that. I do like that. So but I will admit that when when the the um When the sky striker came in missing the the engine um I was a little disheartened Uh, and and I wasn't sure that I was going to like this thing because I was I was a little disheartened you might say I was a little disappointed Uh, but once I got the engines in and there they are once I got the engines in I decided to go ahead and assemble it and put the stickers on and everything and and it was a little irritating As as these projects often are Getting the wings attached Was a little bit of a pain So I was still thinking man. I really I'm just not going to like this thing. It's really annoying me more than I'm enjoying it but but um Uh, I noticed though as I continued to assemble it Uh, and as I put the stickers on I was starting to enjoy it more as it started to look more like a sky striker I was starting to enjoy it more until by the end When I had it all together and I had it, you know on the mount Uh, I I I have to admit I I did enjoy it. I I did I do in fact like the thing Do I like it as much? as as I would have if if the if I still had the novelty of Assembling it as soon as it came in probably not I probably would have enjoyed it more then But I I don't hate it. I don't hate it. It's it's still okay um, but I did as mentioned I got my Ah, I got my vintage sky striker and then immediately knocked the tailfids off. Let me put those back on I got my vintage sky striker. Hang on. Hang on. I gotta now I gotta reassemble the vintage sky striker um now one thing I did notice that the engines that on the Haslab sky striker Have have details on the on the on the sides You can only see them if you take the engines out But the engines fit in very tightly And I'm I'm afraid to take them out. So I'm just going to not do that One thing let's let's start with something here real quick Let's start with one thing real quick What happened to my Oh, Raymond's getting a replacement something happened. Well, well bless you Raymond. I'm sorry Han says I paid in my divine sense of humor. That's that's um That's somewhat nebulous, but but I hey I can that I can do that I can do So one one real quick thing One major difference one major difference between the vintage sky striker and the new one the vintage sky striker as you probably know It has this lever to Pull the wings in The wings though Are linked to the landing gear. So when you have the wings out The landing gear is out when you pull the wings in The landing gear go up um This this was always a bit of a problem for a lot of Kids at the time and collectors because you don't necessarily want the landing gear linked with the wings Sometimes you want the wings out and the landing gear up sometimes Especially if you're parking it on the flag You want the wings in But you'd like the landing gear out one thing That this guy does and I'm gonna see if I can take it off of the mount for a moment maybe That may be a little optimistic. Oh, here we go. Here we go. All right. So taking it off the mount um one thing that uh has changed about this Is that it still has the lever on the back and the lever still This this missile just does not want to I keep knocking it off. It's not the missile's fault, but I keep bumping it Okay, it still has the lever to pop the wings out right Wings out wings in but The wing mechanism is not tied to The landing gear That's good. That's an improvement um Then how you might ask do you get the landing gear out? Well This one has something the vintage one did not have it has a tail hook It has a tail hook you pull the tail hook down So you can land this sucker on the uss flag on the arrestor cable. You do not have to attach the uss flags Aftermarket, you know attachment Tail hook which um, I was actually gonna pull it out, but I'm not sure exactly where it is I wanted to see if the tail hook would fit in here if you wanted to But anyway, the point is You got this tail hook here and the tail hook is on a lever and you push that thing Back and the landing gear come out push it forward if I can do this Uh, push it. Oh, there we go push it forward and the landing gear go up. So now The wings are not linked to the landing gear that That's good. That's good. I like that very much. I like that very much So, uh I will Get this thing in front of an hd camera and do a proper review There's a lot. There's so much to it I will say that if I had to choose between this And a vintage sky striker, of course, I would still choose the vintage sky striker I mean this thing This thing has seen some battles, right? This thing has has survived You know, this thing has survived for 40 years 40 years this thing has survived And it's still together. It's still intact that I still, you know, I still have Uh, the the nostalgia for this, okay? Um, so if I if I had to choose, yeah, I still take the vintage one But as a an update, you know, just tweaking it a little bit. I do like the tweaks You know, it's got the The targeting system up here in front Um, you know, it's got it's got stuff Um the it it has the blast effects and I haven't really tried the blast effects yet It has let me open the canopy. It has a two-piece canopy So let me show you It has a two-piece canopy. So the canopy opens up like that to reveal the two seats On the vintage one It's a one-piece canopy Which is fine. I I really don't have any problem with that. That's okay Um, so I don't know if you consider a two-piece canopy an improvement or not, but it's a two-piece canopy Um, it has the two ejector seats similar to the vintage one Uh, very similar in fact, but slightly different these Let me pull out the vintage seat Which has ace in it. I've got ace in here Um, so there's the vintage seat and the back is just open and there's a rubber band right that holds the parachute in Um, that's the vintage seat. This is Very similar, but there is a back piece There's a back piece that holds the parachute in it does have the parachute. I want to Be careful about popping this off In fact, I may not pop it off right now Uh, I may wait to well, let me see. Let me try Um It's uh, it okay. There we go. That's that's what I was trying to do So this comes off you pop this off and then it has It has the uh parachute. It's not attached, but it has it has the thing you can attach it just like that and this is This this one Is a plastic parachute This one is like a nylon fabric parachute just uh Unravel this thing here and unflurl the parachute the parachute does still have That sky striker eagle Um by ron ron rudat Did this drawing of the sky striker eagle? Um, so It's it's a better fabric. It's a more robust fabric. Uh, so that's nice um, the cockpit Has a little bit more detail than the vintage but there's not a lot of room in there, you know to do a lot of detail There's a little bit more, but but but but not a lot. It's it's small. Um, so the um Like the 30th anniversary and 40th anniversary and all the anniversary sky strikers um A lot of those were one seat jets. They they changed it from a two-seater to a one-seater Um, and that provided a bit more room For details inside the cockpit um This sky striker is more along the lines of the vintage one in that it is a two-seater like the f-14 tomcat um But because it's a two-seater there isn't as much room for detail inside the cockpit there is a Uh, there is a an instrument panel and a tiny little Um, a tiny little joystick there, but I'll I'll have to get that in front of a better camera for you to see that that's You can't really see it, but but there is a little bit of detail in there Um, and what else do I want to point out about this thing? um Let's look at the figures Okay, no, I want to point out one other thing and I apologize. I'm I'm uh missing a lot of the super chat Hello, joe fan. Hey treasures for trigger. Nice to see you. Hello palpatine. Uh, hello to anybody else who happened to Uh to to come in. I'm sorry. I try to say hello to everybody But when I'm when I'm focused on this the night, I don't see the the live chat. Sorry about that my apologies um, but the There is something I did want to point out the wings Okay, the wings Are two pieces Okay, so the wings Come unassembled. Okay, and you have to put the wings on you have to attach them right here Okay, and they snap on sort of Um, but because the wing the whole wing mechanism moves um, it's it's can be very difficult To to snap these wings on so what I did and I think what others have done is I unscrewed the uh This part right here the the the actual snap part off of the wing to attach that first but But you have to partially you have to partially attach it Because there are tabs on the wing pieces itself that have to slip under there So you have to partially attach it Slip the wing on Then attach it the rest of the way and then screw it back on it's a little bit tricky But I was really trying to not break this thing having just finally got it complete Uh, so uh, so keep that in mind if you have it, uh, Take care with assembling the wings. They are two pieces Um the vintage sky striker the wings Are single pieces Ah, sorry Missile I keep I keep I keep knocking the missiles off. Come on now. Oh, I got a missile in a in the intake there. That's probably dangerous Okay, but anyway the so the minute the wings are a solid piece and they come pre-assembled Um at the factory, right? Uh, because I mean they got to put to the mechanism all together But the these are solid single piece wings whereas the Um The haz lab one are two pieces I assume they did this because they were they they probably were working with the The mold from the modern sky strikers and those did come have unassembled wings And I mean it's updated. This is not just the the like 30th anniversary sky striker It is updated in significant ways in structural ways But I keep knocking missiles off but um My point is oh, I think he wants on Joe mind whether hell or the king singing cats. Well that he was just here Where did he go? He's probably destroying something. That's where the hell he is in hell is where where he is Singing he's singing in hell um But uh the like the the modern era sky strikers they fit in um a smaller box So they had the the wings disassembled you had to to snap them on that was a little bit difficult Even on those this however came in a large box In a large box that that one Uh, and you you saw me open it, right this It would have fit With the wings attached inside that box with plenty of room to spare But nonetheless the wings they they they uh do not come assembled in the box You have to attach them. Oh, thank you white vegeta for the super chat not pictured But there are tabs on either side of the cockpit one for fueling one or For fueling one or for the ladder ladder for very easy Uh ladder very easy to miss. I'm sorry for some reason and I'm having a hard time Reading but I yes that there are tabs Um refueling and ladder it did come with Thank you. Good segue uh good segue Good segue because um, I have that it's also came with these uh These little secondary vehicles that you could pair with the uss flag and it has the fueling truck And this thing is it's got a It's like this is a little trolley. I don't know like It doesn't have a driver's seat. Um, it doesn't have a driver's seat But uh, but it has it has an engine cover that you can take off and then you can attach Like you can have attach this missile Um carrying thing I put I put a couple of the extra fuel tanks on there But you can attach this piece and like Load missiles and junk like that. Uh, so it does come with these and these will work with the uss flag and there is the the Refueling nozzle similar to you know the one that came on the flag These however are Gray and a rather dull gray I mean, it's okay. It's okay uh the the The utility vehicles on the uss flag Were different colors Maybe a bit more interesting These I know these are just a bonus, you know, it's just a bonus feature But but a rather dull gray. I must say and it's nice They're fine. It's it's nice to have them, but um Uh, but but could be visually more interesting and it's not just they're not just it's not just that they're gray They're entirely gray with um, the only other color on On them is the the stickers, right? That's the only way that that they have any other color on it It's okay to be gray. Well, I that's that's what I'm learning. Thank you, uh, mick ell appreciated um Hello, uh Atal, atalia Hello, I see nice to see you. I see Uh, thanks for being here. But anyway, so it did come with that good segue. Thank you white vegeta and the um the this Has a hook and there is a ladder. There's a ladder that you can hook onto there I'll try to get to all of this, you know when I can do a full review on it This is gonna be a challenge. I'm not gonna lie. This is gonna be a challenge um, but Yeah, the I will point out again that The vintage sky striker Had most of the features that the new sky striker has But it had it 40 years ago, you know and at a much A lower price point because it was a child's toy Um, now I know that they can't do it at that price point now because this is a specialty item And they're not producing them in in the kind of numbers that they did back then but but If you want a sky striker um and You um You're not into like the the newer features that are on this thing Go get yourself a vintage sky striker. It's a lot of fun to play with. Yes It has some issues with the the wings being linked to the landing gear, but it's still a lot of fun to play with um Has any gi joe base ever had a bathroom? Um That I think they just like went out back and dug a hole in the ground The the the bivouac set. Okay. The good. Okay. I have an answer for this You know the bivouac set the bivouac set came with a number of tools including a shovel And the shovel is what they would use, you know when they had to Go, you know, they just go out down the trail a little bit dig a hole Do your business cover the hole so so in that sense? Yes the bivouac it it wasn't a bathroom per se But um, it's it's it's the substitute. That's what they used. You know, they're in the field They're in the field, you know, and they got to do their business So that's that's what the shovel is for that's what the shovel is for Um, so thanks. Good question. Thank you. Thank you chris. Good question. Um So, uh, the the other thing that was asked um Is who who will pilot who will pilot? uh, the um The the the new sky striker. Well I do in fact have The figures that came with it. I got them still on the card Still on the card. Um, and there there are options. Okay. There are options, right? Did I say hello to shon becket? If not, hello, uh, love Nice to see you. Uh, thanks, shon. Yeah, see the shovel. See That that's that's I mean they gotta have some way um Uh, let's see, uh, I see says I saved that handful of parts my whole geo Yeah, my whole joe time line. See that's smart Because the other bases, I mean they didn't have any they still have to use the shovel Right in the like in the 83 headquarters command center. Is there a toilet there? No shovel You know, that's this is how it works. This is how it works Um in the uss flag. Is there a latrine? No I don't know how yeah, I think you just lean over the side. You're in the ocean, right? You just lean over the side and you know just look how did we get on this? This is chris's fault. Uh chris. Love you. Great guy. You're a great guy But you got us talking about potty stuff I'll forgive it this time. Anyway, um, uh bell taylor says love seeing your cat. Well, he's Where is he? He was he was just over here a little while ago cause and trouble Uh, but but he's wandered off Um, he'll he'll be back. He'll he'll be back. Yeah the poop deck. Yeah, exactly. See That's what they have the poop deck for So, uh, we've got We've got uh failsafe We've got uh, oh, these are the co the cobras are not likely to to pilot the the sky striker Although it does come with a sticker sheet a cobra sticker sheet So if you want to make the sky striker an evil sky striker You can you can turn it into cobra. You can do that that that's doable. Um, but, um oh and lest we forget the, uh The o-ring cobra commander right there with the minky mouse logo there Here's your options. Okay, you have scarlet in a flight suit That's a good option because she's in a flight suit You have um Night force record now. He's he's a parachutist But he he could jump, you know, he could jump from the plane and probably often did um You have ace and I think I think ace has to be my pilot Ace has to be my pilot that that's You know that it's a classic What are you doing cat? He's doing something. I don't know what he's doing But but to answer the question so I want ace to be the pilot and I'd really like to try out Our new rio the new character Just introduced the radar intercept officer code name failsafe I gotta give failsafe a shot. You know, I'm gonna give him a chance I'm gonna give him a chance. Um What I think is funny is that his codename failsafe is also the name of a movie With henry fonda It's it's a movie about About accidental nuclear war Oopsie, you know oops Little little oops a little accidental nuclear war Comic tropes is gonna have toll booth as the the pilot of the Of the sky striker. Uh, yeah, okay The interesting choice not sure he's qualified. I don't know if he's checked out on it. But but why not, you know Toe booth may not be a pilot, but He has a helmet Um, see joshua's seen the movies joshua has seen the movies. See that's the that's the the rather, uh The rather grim storyline that goes along with this. This is a Gijo takes a dark turn Um But but no self failsafe. It's a failsafe is uh a good movie. I did like it It was it was very interesting well acted and and so forth But it's like a a drama version of dr. Strange loves dr. Strange love was the comedic Side angle of that story and failsafe was the Uh, the the serious, you know cold war Story and enter interesting movie very interesting movie if I recall correctly. I think um Um Oh, what's that dude's name? Uh grumpy old man Dennis the menace Uh, walter matthow. I think walter matthow was in it a much younger walter matthow spearhead and max as the co-pilot. See, uh Uh comic tropes is on fire comic tropes is thinking outside the box Um Palpatine wants to know where I intend to display the f14. That's another good question I have a couple options what I think I will do Over here on my display stand area I've got some junk. That's just taking up space there I need to put it in a proper spot and if I move that stuff that is actually the perfect space the perfect amount of space for Ah For for this, uh Sky striker, so I think that's what I'm going to do. I think that's what I will do But but first first things first. I really need to um To review it and that is going to be a challenge. It's just I just don't I don't have the the amount of energy that I I used to have I'm trying to work as fast as I can and that's going to take A lot of time because there's so much to it. There are blast effects. There are alternate sticker sheets. There are a bunch of figures Uh, I want to make some comments about the uh the instructions I gotta say a few things about the instructions guys at hasbro. Have a few things say Um the packaging I've got so much to oh, thank you the killer weasel slim pickins Road the bomb waving his cowboy hat. See that that wild bill See, that's why you need wild bill You need wild bill so he can like where's that? So like he you can sit wild bill on here and drop the bomb and it can be like See, yeah, you know what? Yeah, you know, what's up. You know what's up Uh, so yeah, that's so you gotta feel wild and wild bill is a pilot. He's a pilot He could do it. He can fly airplanes. He has flown airplanes I think that's the the perfect option But you gotta use like the the later Like the 90s wild bill that had the removable hat because you gotta be able to remove the hat so he can like He can he can ride the the the the the missile and and uh You know hoot and holler Good thinking so now um, I was going to I was going to at least open this. I think I don't it seems that we may be short on time to actually Um, completely look at this thing, but I got this in too. I ordered this a very long time ago a ton of people already have the uh, uh classified serpentor They already have it a ton of reviews already out there on it Um, and I only just now got mine. Uh, so I have not opened this at all um, so I'm gonna break the ice here and just Take a peek at it There we go Okay, so I I want to at least take it. Oh, uh, thank you, uh, Josiah Saturday is the 10th anniversary of retaliation um all 10 of us that Like it can celebrate damn ninjas. Uh, that's that's really funny. I thought retaliation was all right I thought retaliation was all right. I thought was actually a little bit better um, then, uh Then rise of cobra. Uh, it's uh, hey my screen says celebrate the first super chat from Josiah to 814 congratulations Josiah to 814 for entering the super chat fraternity Uh, which is Helps keep me alive. Thank you very much Um, retaliation had its problems. You might say but Um, I did think it was better. It was better than uh, than rise of cobra Uh, in fact, there are a few things that I Enjoyed it. It was it felt more like gi joe with a cobra commander that looked like cobra commander um, and I thought the rock did a good job as um Roblox, okay, so here is I'm just gonna pull this out. We only have like 10 minutes left. I can't go over. I can't go over because um because the Uh, what's on Joe mind, you know, they've got their things and I don't want to I don't want to uh, Keep anybody from jumping over there and watching their show. What's on Joe mind? The link is in uh in the uh The description so this has the cobra double helix DNA symbol. That's clever. I like that. Uh, and then I've I've not looked at this. I just now cut the tape It has like dr. Meinmender. It has a swing open Thingamajig and there is the figure if I can get that there's the figure uh, I guess the the uh Air chariot is behind this space and then we've got you know, we've got some stuff. We've got uh Some pieces and and some accessories it looks like So, uh, yeah, um, I don't think I'll have time to Really like take this out and look at it, but I want to see I might be able to pull Serpentor out himself Just just pull the figure out and take a look at it in the next nine minutes Um, okay one second. Um There we go. There we go. Okay. So here is Serpentor the the figure. I wanted to at least take a look at this So so here he is. Oh, that is interesting So how does the head move? How does the head move? Okay, um, so you can I okay I can see Hold on. So there's Serpentor there's Serpentor and um, I think I think he might have been Um Kissing lieutenant falcon because he's got he's got lieutenant falcon's lipstick smeared on his lips You know, that's you know, that's none of my business, you know behind the scenes I know they were enemies in the movie, but behind the scenes, you know, they may have liked each other much more than that You never know I mean is don johnson Heck of a handsome man Um, so but anyway, yeah, that's there's, uh, Serpy Um, it looks like um over here. It's got like an alternate uh helmet and um Where is it an alternate helmet and um Snake thing, uh, and I believe you can pop this pop this off and put the other one on Because this this will not This will not let you move his head. That's interesting So I'll I'll this is another one. I want to look more closely at but I just don't have time to do it right now, but I just got it So I wanted to Actually take a look at it outside the box good details, um enhances some of the details of the vintage figure Which you can do at this scale, you know at the uh The vintage figure had excellent details for the scale, but there's only so much you can do at that scale at the larger scale No pun intended, but the scales can be more scaly at this scale So, um, yeah There there's Serpy. Yeah, I will I will take a closer look at that Uh a bit later. I will I'll attempt to put this back in the box I may do that after the show because I don't want to Have just a bunch. Oh, no, it was easy. It was easy to put him back It was easy so let's let's Seal him back in his sarcophagus Um, I don't worry. Serpentor he dies somewhat frequently, but he comes back Death is in fact quite temporary for our Our august leader Serpentor. I got that backwards tonight So there we go. That's it. That's it. Yeah, so if it goes on correctly, then it this matches up the picture on the box So there's Serpentor Now I was going to open gung-ho here, but clearly we don't have enough time So I would like to apologize for gung-ho. We ran out of time. We'll have you back on next week's show We'll open the gung-ho the classified retro gung-ho that I got from Walmart and uh, we'll we'll take a look at that and we will compare and contrast with the uh Uh with the first Classified gung-ho and see the similarities and differences, but well, but my apologies.

I got like The blast effects we haven't even looked at the blast effects And I Of course, I put I put the the black fins on it very stylish black fins But of course it comes with The white fins, so there's there's a lot and all the figures too.
