 Hello everybody, HoodedCoverCommander788 here, and I'm all dressed up because this is a special occasion. I'm gonna be doing my first ever unboxing video. This box was sent to me by Arthur at BusyBenz, that's how he wanted to be credited. Arthur sent me this box, unsolicited, for the purpose of doing an unboxing video. I haven't done one of these before, I've been thinking about it, and this is a great opportunity to do it. So, I've opened the box, but I haven't looked inside yet, so I'm gonna do this on camera so you can see what Arthur has sent to me. I'm very excited to see it, so let's check it out, and let's see, let's see what we got. This is like Christmas, let's check it out. Okay, so, opening the box, and first I see some packing popcorn. Packing popcorn. Not enough butter. Okay, so what's the first thing we come to? Let's see. Oh, here we go, we've got some parts to checkpoint alpha, that's cool. I do not have that complete yet, I will have to put this with some other parts that I have to see if we can complete that. And let's see, we also have trip wire, very nice complete trip wire, very good, thank you very much. We have, oh, look at this, look at this, alpine. Alpine and alpine looks to be complete, that's awesome. I don't have a complete alpine, so that's very cool. That is definitely something special. Now I've got, there's a bag thing here, and I'm, oh, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, there's something in the way, and it's something, oh, check this out, check this out. It is Tiger Force, the Tiger Rat, and it looks to be in pretty good shape. Landing gear is unbroken, all the clear plastic bits are there, the paint looks good, this is awesome. This is really cool, this alone would have made it work worth it, this is an awesome thing to send. Thank you so much, Arthur, that's so cool. All right, well, let's see what else we got, let's see. We got, no, I was trying to get this bag out, this bag has more things in it, let's see, so, oh man, I see more down in there, oh, this is great. This is great, and a lot of this stuff will show up as a video review, so Arthur, you are helping the channel and helping create more video reviews with this, I guarantee I will be doing this. This is a box, okay, this is an empty box for the Rock Rampage 50th Anniversary set. Very good, we got the file cards in there, and let's see, we have, look at this, look at this, this is a still on the card, Iron Grenadiers 25th Anniversary Destro with the gold head. This is really cool, I don't think I'm gonna take it off the card, I hate taking things off the card, I just feel like I'm ruining it, so I like, this looks really pretty on the card, so I'm gonna keep that in the package, that's cool. Not a bad Destro, cool. All right, and let's see what else we got, okay, we've got some modern figures here, we've got, let's see, let's see, oh, I see a Baroness, and, oh, there's torpedo, and a Cobra Eel, and yeah, the Baroness, okay, so I'm going to take some pictures of these so you can see each of these individually, and I will cut that in to the video, so we've got some great modern figures here, you normally do vintage, but I have reviewed some modern stuff from time to time, so I may have to give those a look, maybe I'll branch out into some modern reviews. Speaking of which, here is a Zartan, and looks like a modern Python Patrol, yeah, Python Patrol Crimson Guard, with file card, awesome, awesome, and okay, so we've got some packaging here for some of the modern figures, there is, oh, look at that, that's a modern bat. Nice detail on that, I may have to, just for the special occasion because Arthur went through the trouble of sending these to me, I may have to review some modern stuff, just because now I have it, and now I can really take a look at it, let's slide this out of the way, there's so much in this bag, look all these file cards, tons of file cards, we've got, oh, flash, check that out, Sergeant Platt, excellent, cool, and we've got Storm Shadow, and we've got a Snow Serpent, so I'm gonna have to look these up to see what years these were released because I'm not as familiar with the modern figures as I am the vintage figures, most of the vintage figures, especially the 80 ones, 1980s ones, I've got memorized and I can tell you what year they came from, but not so much the modern figures, and so this gives me an opportunity to learn more, which I always appreciate, I'm never opposed to learning, so this is a fairly cool bag, that's some awesome modern stuff right there, so I'm going to set these aside over here so we can dig in some more, and I see some vintage stuff, I see some vintage stuff, okay, oh, look at that, the rest of the parts for Checkpoint Alpha, this is one that I've been, I've had an eye on to do a review, and it looks to be complete, there's the clipboard right there, so this, I may have to review this one in the very near future, so that's awesome, and then we've got a big bag of stuff here, oh, here, this is smaller, but this is some figures, we've got some figures here, we've got, oh yeah, look at that, got Nogahide, we've got, oh, who's that guy? Oh, that's the C-slug, I think the Cobra submarine driver was, yeah, it looks really good, and we've got, looks like Mercer, and Nemesis Enforcer from Cobra Law, and we have, we have Blowtorch, 1984, not a bad Blowtorch there, I'll need to, I've been also thinking about Blowtorch because there are some variants with Blowtorch that I haven't nailed down yet, so I'll have to check and see what I've got, and maybe this will help me progress toward a Blowtorch review, so that would be very exciting, and so all right, now we've got a big bag of vintage stuff here, let's check this out, now this is, I mean, this is, I'm not gonna go through each of these because it's parts mainly, but I can tell from just looking at it, I mean, we've got some parts of the killer whale here, more parts of the killer whale, these are awesome, we've got a ton of missiles, the missile box from the Wolverine from 1983, I'm gonna spend some time, this is gonna be, this is gonna be awesome, I'm gonna, this evening, I'm going to be going through this because this is like Christmas, this is so cool, the RCB Recon sled, shell of that there, got some accessories, this is awesome, and you know, these missiles, it's always such a pain to try to find missiles when you're missing one, this is probably gonna complete some things for me because of the missiles in this bag, so that's so cool, let's set this down here, and I'm definitely gonna spend some more time going through that, what else we got? Well, look at this, we got a bag, oh, low lights, we got four low light action figures in there, that's awesome, you know, I do like low light, I mean, he was a good figure and so that's so cool, and oh my God, look at all this, figure parts, figure parts, I may be able to, I may be able to fix some figures with these, I can see some in here that I potentially need here, we got a crimson guard, we got who that, we got half a big boa, this is another thing that I'm gonna have to spend more time going through, but I can tell from looking at it right now that this is going to help me, this is, some of these have parts that are in much better shape than the figures I already have, and so I will be using these to complete a few things, oh, look at that, it's got my Zap from 1982, my Zap action figure has a heel broken, but you know that soft brittle plastic breaks so easily, they were right there, some intact Zap legs, beautiful, beautiful, so that's really cool, all right, oh, that's cool, okay, setting that aside now, cause there's more, there is more in here, okay, look at this, look at this, carded, carded, yeah, carded Python Patrol Elite Trooper, look at that, that's gorgeous, that's awesome, G.I. Joe Club, that's so cool, so you know, I don't have, and this is a modern figure, you know, I don't have a lot of Tiger Force or Python Patrol, but those two subgroups, I've been wanting to kind of jump into and get more of them, and this is, I mean, this is a nice modern version of the Python Patrol Crimson Guard, that means I'm gonna have to go and get the vintage figure, so that I can do a review, this is all gonna be awesome, and look at all those accessories, look at all of these accessories, you know what I'm gonna do, accessory baths, I've gotta put these in a bathtub and take a bath with accessories, look at all these accessories, this is awesome, I mean, I'm just glancing from the outside of the bag, I can see some that I've needed, so this is, that's gorgeous, I'm going, this is, this unboxing video is not going to, you know, be very long, but this is going to take hours to go through, and those will be happy hours, this will be the best time I've had with G.I. Joe for a while, the opportunity to spend some time going through this stuff and curating it, it's gorgeous, it's beautiful, and it's Slaughter's Marauders, I don't have any Slaughter's Marauders figures, at least I didn't until now, this is great, you know, and this is, something that I hadn't quite delved into yet, but it's one that had been on the agenda, well you know what, there's a good start right there, there's Slaughter's Marauders, Barbecue and Lowlight, a couple of those, that is great, this is, can it get any better? Can it get any better? All right, well we've got some full card backs, we've got some full card backs, modern cards, look at that, and so that's from the G.I. Joe cartoon series, the, let's see, Snow Serpent and Python Patrol, Crimson Guard, Laser Rifle Trooper Flash, we saw the flash action figure in there as we also saw the Eel and the Cobra Android Trooper Thess, that's, this is, you know, again, I'm a vintage collector, but, seeing some of the cool modern stuff, I'm still really excited to see it, I mean, this stuff just looks cool and you know what, I, it almost requires a review, doesn't it? I almost have to do it, still on the card, Spirit Iron Knife and Storm Shadow 50th Anniversary, no, I didn't have those before, and this spirit action figure in particular, was one that had intrigued me and that I wanted to take a culture look at. So, now I will be able to. So this, I mean, some of this stuff is, look at this. Look at all these file cards. That's, that's a ton of file cards. I'm gonna spend probably an hour or two just going through these file cards. That's awesome. Oh, look at this, more vintage stuff. Oh, look at that, that's the missiles and stuff from the Tiger Rat and that looks like, that's Sky Striker Pilot. Look at that. This is, this is, this is wonderful. This is, that's, that may be the showstopper of this whole box. And here we go. Got some vintage, oh yeah, heat viper. I've got an incomplete heat, heat viper with the accessories on here. I'll have to check, but that may help me complete that figure. That figure may be complete now. You know, a complete figure means it can be reviewed at any time. We got some file cards, his tank driver, the torpedo, storm shadow, viper's, Raptor. I don't have Raptor yet, but you know what, believe it or not, that's what I'm looking forward to reviewing. No joke. I'm looking forward to reviewing that figure. So now we've got the file card. I'm one step closer. Let's see. It just never ends. My gosh. Let's see. This here is the, is it the law? Yeah. I think that's what it was. And it looks to be complete. Snap the seat back in there. There you go. Looking good. And let's see. More vintage figures. And now I can't get enough vintage figure. There's a, this is great. There's a storm shadow. There's a crazy legs. It looks like a motor viper. It looks like a junkyard is in there. And even some accessories. All right. And you know, you give me some vintage figures and I'm going to be your best friend. Because this is what GI Joe still is for me. This is what brings back all those memories and what makes GI Joe so awesome. There's a thunder machine. Everybody loves thunder machine, right? Everybody love dread knocks. If not, well, well you should. There's thunder machine. That is, that is, that's clean. It looks good. Looks tight. That's a, that's, that's a nice, that's a nice example of thunder machine. Stick that armor plate back on there. Looks great. Looks great. More packing popcorn. More vintage figures. Look at this. Look at this. Look at that. I can't, you got it. Iceberg, you got a lifeline. Who else is in there? Looks like a kind of a Frankenstein zap action figure. I see a clutch. There's the Stinger driver. This is, there's a stalker. I see a stalker action figure in there. Oh, that's beautiful. That's beautiful. Well, obviously that, this is great. So, wow. Okay, I'm a little overwhelmed. Okay, I hope, hope I can make it through this video. Oh, look at that. Look at that. Figure stands. I was just lamenting the other day that I was out of figure stands and I needed some more. What, that, you know what? That's gonna do me for a while. I'm good on figure stands. That is exact, I mean, it's like you read my mind. All right, so how are we doing? How are we doing? Let's see, we get everything from this side. Think we're good. All right, and then, okay, more. Oh, look at that. Crocmaster, Crocmaster and Crocodiles. Look at that, and a bunch of them. And that's so cool. You know, I didn't have a Crocmaster complete. And this will help me get closer to completing that. And I didn't have the Crocodile or the alligator. I think it's actually an alligator even though I call it a Crocodile. But that's great. That's great. You know, some of these figures, you may not think that I'm looking forward to reviewing, but it's not true. I want to review everything in the vintage line. And even if it's not a figure that I think is a top tier figure or I think is weird, I still look forward to reviewing it. And so I am absolutely looking forward to reviewing Crocmaster. So I think that's it. I hope I didn't miss anything. I don't think I did. I'm gonna take some pictures of this so I can put them with the video because I know it's a little far away so you may not be able to see everything, but I'll try to make sure that you can see what I'm talking about here. So Arthur, thank you. This is my first ever unboxing video. You didn't have to do this. You really don't. You didn't have to. But you did it just out of your own generosity and I appreciate it. This absolutely will benefit the channel. This will help keep the channel going. It'll help complete some things. And I've been so busy lately, I haven't really been able to, you know, do the toy hunting that I usually do. But you know what? This actually solves that problem a little bit. It just, you sent it to me and I'm going, I promise that it all has a good home and I'm gonna make the best possible use out of it. So thank you. Thank you very much. And to everybody else, thanks for watching this first ever unboxing video. I hope you enjoyed it. I'm excited. And if you like the reviews, you ought to be excited too because I've got some more stuff to review now. This is going to propel the channel forward and give me more stuff to do. It's more stuff to look at. So I think that'll be it. Thank you very much again, Arthur. Thanks for watching. I'll see you next time. And keep watching for more vintage GI Joe tour reviews. Keep watching for some of this stuff to be reviewed in the near future. I'll see you next time.
