Hello texas from the united states. Thank you for being here Um, it's really nice to see everybody um, uh, hido, uh asks if I was able to get the defiant. I still have an incomplete defiant Um, what is ironic Is that I will be I will be attending the Um convention assembly required in Des Moines, Iowa this weekend and apparently there will be A defiant on sale there. It's not complete, but it's more complete than the one that I have um, but at the moment I am I it's it's a little out of my price range. I can't quite grab it, but uh my defiant is I mean I made some progress on it, but um After like doing a real honest assessment of it um I decided that like some of the major pieces Need to be better. I need to like start with a slightly better base vehicle um some of the Larger pieces are not in Uh, very good shape and that's something that's A little bit more difficult to do so, you know if If I had the uh the fundage I would absolutely jump on that defiant that's supposed to be there this weekend But but I'll I'll have to work on that Yeah, uh, yes, exactly joe fan defiant is incredibly expensive. Uh, hello, um dale centipford. Um, hello Uh photo viper. Hello w w jd 85. Um, so, uh, yeah um Hido Chung has the first defiant comic book appearance. Um, and um Yes, assemble. Yeah, that's right rob um What do we call it seven eight eighters assemble So there's a an annual joe convention, you know, it's not necessarily entirely gi joe, but it's more gi joe focused Uh convention in Des Moines, Iowa Called assembly required to put on by, um, uh codename iowa And I've been to one it was before covet and then everything got crazy, but i'm i'm back i'm going back um The uh the one that they have on sale is well, I think it was like 800 bucks, which is really not bad It's not complete, but um it the the parts that it has Would replace a lot of the parts that I need so I'd get a lot closer to complete with that Um, but uh, just I just can't do it right now. So, um, so Anyway, but I'll still admire it. I'll go and I'll I'll admire it um So yeah, by the way, um if if you are in the area Uh, and yes, and if you would like to uh meet me in Des Moines um Please come by um They they're doing friday and saturday, but I will be I'll be in town late on friday Unfortunately, I'm just gonna miss everything on friday because I'm some poor planning on my part um did not Think ahead did not check my Uh personal calendar when I was scheduling stuff on my work calendar Um, so I'll be there late on friday, but I will uh, I should be there all day saturday Uh, thank you. Josiah. Kokomo toys. Um have several defiance, uh in the commercial and a kokomo toys is like That that's a huge toy store. That's one place that I would really like to visit Everybody that's been there has said it's absolutely amazing They've been uh sponsors of our friends what's on joe mine for quite some time It's not an area of the country that I'm able to get to very often But I really really want to go I really want to see it. Um, and yeah, I don't doubt that they had, uh Defiance, uh chris says the 800 r1 is complete. It is not complete, but It's it's close. It's it's closer than the one that I have um, and with the The parts that I think on mine that I need to replace Um, it's probably a pretty good deal By kit bashing the two of them. I would have one that is really close really really close to complete, but But I just it's not not it's just not meant to be this time. Um, let's see. Uh, Wjd 85 says you collect gi jo stuff like the board games lunchboxes. Yeah. Yes. Um, in fact, let's see. Where's the Yeah, uh, actually chris Uh chris from comic trope since sent this So, uh, yeah, I have I have this board game haven't played it yet That seems a little complicated. Uh, but when I actually get a couple people here, maybe I can I can play this board game and the lunchbox um, I don't necessarily get all of the lunchboxes but like this this 1982 lunchbox Is like has some of my favorite gi jo artwork anywhere on it like I just really really love the artwork on this And like this team this team shot here I just I I think that's great I really really like the artwork on this lunchbox and um, this does have You know The thermos so Uh, so to answer your question. Yes. Yes Um, uh Chris says if I can raise 400 dollars on a single live stream, he'll donate the second 400 dollars for the defiant That's a pretty that's a that's a pretty pretty good. Uh, pretty good deal. Um, I I don't know that I've ever Raised 400 dollars in a single live stream um I see the way to do it is to to have like some kind of interactive Motivation for people to Super chat like like like Uh, like drinking for dollars. I've done that That was fairly popular, but I don't really drink anymore. Um, one time I snapped an entire Uh box of pencils Dreadnought style But I'm out of pencils. Oh, hello toy connections. Uh, nice to see you there. Thank you for being here Always nice to see you. Hello gray fox. Hello evan Uh, and uh, I think I said hello to jump general, but if not, hello jump general. Hello david sharp I hope I didn't miss anybody uh, so, um So, yeah, I think Um, if we're doing these in order of importance, I would say Uh, timers charity, uh, check the link in the description of this live stream uh For the the charity rules Uh, and assembly required Because it's coming up quite soon. Um, it's coming up this weekend Uh, I will be driving up on friday, but Based on the time I have to leave I'm gonna miss all the festivities on friday.

Nice to see you They gone I'm always happy to see you in here Yeah, toy connections. We've got some some cool youtubers in here. We got toy connections We got chris from comic tropes. Uh, we got sparkster in here Um, we had photo viper earlier And probably others um that I may have missed. I'm sorry if I missed you, uh, but but um, but hi everybody uh Uh, we got We got let's go ahead and do this Uh, before I get too far afield because I like I said I have show notes. I I I sort of did show prep a little bit Um, believe it or not So but before we get too far down the list I do want to show this off. So this is one of the prizes Um, I will be donating for the charity, um giveaway So this is Uh, this rather mangled fellow is um unmasked snake eyes, uh from Uh, joe fest 2019. This is by scorched earth creations and matt lacroix um Oh, thank you mcdj acdc next classified choice creation not already in the works doc and cesspool are mine Thank you for everything that you do. That's a fair uh fair point. So I know let's see Let me think about that. Um You know what we really need is about five or six more classified versions of snake eyes Give us five or six more classified versions of snake eyes. Come on. Um, but the some of the The figures the classified figures that I would have most wanted they're actually They are actually already in the works So now I've got to like get farther down the list to think of like What um What I would want to add So this it's it uses a black major, um Custom snake eyes body The head though That's a custom sculpt and custom painted And it's just incredibly highly detailed. I think it's awesome And since it's for charity, I think this is a worthy thing to give away I think they made a hundred of them Um, and of course this one is open Uh, and they were at the time only available. Um at joe fest in 2019 So that's an exclusive figure. I'll show you what it comes with one thing that comes with is um the The the plastic bag that it came with with the joe fest sticker on it. So So, you know, it's authentic So it I did keep the bag. I know like this is you would probably normally throw this stuff away But I like to keep stuff like this because it is actually part of the Um the history of the toy. So, uh, so there's the the plastic bag. It comes with A black Timber with a silver Stripe on his back Uh, it comes with A masked snake eyes head so you can swap the heads out. You can put a masked snake eyes head on him Um, and it comes with The backpack and the sword which I want to be careful not to break So, uh And not drop it. So and the backpack has some paint on it has some nice gray highlights And it has a black Black oozy. So those are the accessories and last but not least it includes The snake eyes unmasked commando file card So, uh, so it comes with everything that it would come with, you know, if you had got it in 2019 In august of georgia at joe fest. So There is that is my contribution to the prizes Uh for timbers charity drive. So I'm gonna keep reminding everybody Not everybody is in position to To give to charity and that's okay Um, if if you can I hope that you will if you can't then One thing that you can do that doesn't cost anything is just share the video Uh, so so we can, um Put the gi joe fan community's best foot forward and, um, that's always I think a very positive thing So that's that I just I just wanted to show you this I haven't had this out for a while. This has been Uh, this has been packed away Stored away for a while. So it's been a while since I've gotten this out. Um, it's It's just a really cool thing. Yeah, and that is a it's a custom body Uh, it's it's not like a literal 1985 um snake eyes body that is is cast and uh It's recast so it's new but it's in the the the same basic mold as the 85 body, but the real the real, um Star of the show is the custom head sculpt and paint showing the scarred snake eyes So really really lovely work really lovely work Um, so what do we got? Um anybody else sneak in here? Um, I don't see. Oh, hey, there's sergeant slaughter slaughterhouse Well, guess what sergeant slaughter slaughterhouse? Um, uh, it's just quite fortuitous Uh that you stopped in here. Oh And another by the way Sorry another tangent sergeant slaughter slaughterhouse has a go fund to me So that he can get to joe fest next year So make sure you check out Sergeant slaughter slaughterhouses go fund me. Oh, hello bad ape. Nice to see you. Uh, you didn't miss anything bad ape You just missed everything. Uh, but still happy to have you here. Thank you for being here. Hello lester Hello dial soft. Hey dial soft. Nice to see you here Um, so uh that since sergeant slaughter slaughterhouse is here Just happened to that just happens to segue into the next the next topic on my on my show notes here um my classified sergeant slaughter action figure has shipped And it will arrive. It's supposed to arrive tomorrow Which means It's gonna be too late for me to show it on the show tonight. Oh, thank you christian. Nice to see you christian bricks Greetings from dinner greetings denmark from the united states and I will have to add Um christian is uh has been a long time support of the show I'm so grateful for everything that christian has done. He's sent stuff as well And in fact a number of the people that are in the live chat right now Have really done amazing things to support the show. So i'm i'm extremely grateful for that Uh, and thank you and that's a that's another thing that I want to talk about Later in the evening is uh some gratitude that I have for for everybody And and for a few folks in particular who have kind of gone above and beyond so So thank you. Um, thank you for that I thank thank you for for all you've done for a very very long time Sergeant slaughter. So if sergeant slaughter had arrived one day Sooner I could I would show it to I could show it to you right now But no no it has to arrive The day after I do my live show. That's just that's just how it happens. That's just how it goes. That's my luck um Yeah, um, so sergeant slaughter slaughterhouse, uh says g. I. Joe then wrestling a blue line when I found out He was a real guy. Uh, yeah, um and uh The sarge should as far as I know should be at Joe fest in 2023 That is always in in august of georgia in june so, um, I my plan is to be there So hopefully I'll get to see zazel and sarge and I believe kelly slaughter is supposed to be there this time too That'll be awesome. Um, oh Hopefully like this year Ron rudat was there. I always like seeing ron and Um, I I got a double back. I got a backtrap. I got a backtrack just a little bit. Um Going back to talking about assembly required Ron rudat Will be at assembly required So if you want to meet ron, he's a really cool guy. He'll have some prints and stuff that you can pick up Uh and and get signed, but I mean this is the guy responsible for a lot of our favorite Uh di joe action figures and some of the vehicles as well He's also a very accomplished artist. So Um, I very much recommend meeting ron if you can and there's another ron that's going to be at um at Assembly required and that is ron wagner. So for fans of the gi joe comic book ron wagner was a comic book artist for who worked on gi joe In the 80s and um, he's actually my favorite gi joe comic book artist I As a young person reading those books. I was just very enamored with his skill and his style Uh, so ron wagner will be there. Um, that's another person that I have met before and he's just really cool Really cool guy and so I'm really excited about that. Um So so I've I've backtracked I backtracked Um, it's even even with even with uh notes. It's it's hard for me to to stay on course um but hey, uh chris from the comic tropes is here and uh for his live show Yesterday, um, he showed off his hasbro selfie figure Um, and I got to make a couple comments about that because um Early on I thought that was going to be a really fantastic idea. Uh, I definitely wanted one Um, I thought some of the early criticisms were unfair. I mean you you gotta judge these things when you actually get them um, but Based on everything that I've seen Um The criticisms of the selfie figure appear to be accurate So I have to I try to stay optimistic. I try to be cautiously optimistic, but this is one instance where The critics seem to have been right about the selfie figure. Um, the likenesses Some people are really happy with their likenesses, but Not not everybody. Um Yeah, comic tropes says I love the selfie series idea the execution leaves a lot to be desired. Yeah, that's exactly it And I haven't ordered one yet. I feel like I should As a reviewer, I feel like I should at least get one and Just to see for myself Um, and I probably will Um, but but it's also 60 bucks and I don't really want to shell out 60 bucks right now And like I got the app and I was like, uh, I think I've mentioned this before but I Like none of the renders of my face Uh have been very good that I've gotten so far. I've not been I just none of them have said yes, that's the one I'll buy that one. Uh, so um, we'll We'll see we will see. Um But, uh Yeah, bad ape says I want a one six scale figure of myself. See. Yeah, see it's a nice idea, isn't it? but my concern is that um, the The the technology isn't necessarily there to work with all kinds of faces and features Um, who are you? Oh, hello, ryan sweeney. Nice to see you. Uh, you snuck in there. I didn't see you, but hello ryan Hello, johnny. Um, hello. Um, who else? I saw somebody else come in here. Somebody snuck in here Um, uh, well, anyway, whoever snuck in here that I missed. Hello RTD says live on tape from hollywood. Hello hollywood from the united states I'm live, but but not on tape tape is rather antiquated nowadays Now we stream everything now. Everything's digital, but still somewhat live In fact, I am live. I am live and I am alive In fact, I can feel my pulse so I can control hold on a second um Yeah, I'll get back to you on that pulse thing. I mean, uh, anyway, but I think I'm alive I might be at least, you know Hello, Eric. Nice to see you. Thank you for being here. Um, I I hope I'm alive And I hope this isn't all just a fig newton of my imagination Um, uh, they don't sculpt facial hair and the hairstyle choices don't account for most people. Yeah, that's that's what I'm running into. Um like It tries to like make my beard like Either like a shaded Or it's like A bright White, you know outline like okay. Here's here's the hey. Hello. Rob. Eris airy. Uh, yeah, we'll start over. In fact This is the starting point. Uh, so imagine. All right You know that movie what about bob and you know richard drifus in that movie You know the beard that richard drifus had that really like really sharp, you know White beard that he had that's the kind of beard that it wants to put on me On the selfie figure and that's not that's not what I got. It's not what I got I'm a bit more fuzzy and a bit more salt and peppery Uh, but it just doesn't it's just doesn't do that. So Yeah, the idea Um is nice But I I'm afraid the technology just may not be there yet to do it. Um, and yeah, um another thing is that um One of my plans was to take the head and put it on a different figure Uh, but apparently that you can't do that and that's another criticism that was brought up early that I thought might not necessarily be a real criticism Um, because I I figured no way would they make it difficult To pull the head off Right because like your average, you know classified six inch figure you're like your your stalkers here You can pop it. In fact, you have to pop the head off and put in order to put on some of the accessories but no, apparently that's Uh, apparently that's not the case Um, and that's another kind of big problem for me because um, I mean while it's fine to Uh do a selfie head on a snake eyes figure body Uh snake eyes is actually, I don't know if you've heard this. I I know it like You you may have not caught this from the most recent movie But snake eyes is actually a character most known for not showing his face In fact, that's what makes this figure rather extraordinary Is because usually usually snake eyes doesn't show his face So it's it's perhaps a little ironic To do a selfie series figure On the body of a character that doesn't normally go without a mask Um, but that would have been fine that would have been fine if I could have put it on like a cobra commander body but apparently That's that's not the case. So, um I have to do some soul searching Um, I've got to do some thinking I maybe maybe even save my pennies because I do still feel like I should get it as a as a reviewer I feel like I kind of have a duty to To get these things and look at them. Um, so I probably still will I'm just not incredibly highly motivated to do that. Um Yeah, um, yeah, exactly rob It's not like it may never Be possible. I mean in theory it ought to be Possible And and they do action figures with really great likenesses of actors Uh for like movie figures. So we've we've got some I've seen some but when they do that they're dealing with like High resolution images and like artists who can you know, make sure that All of the fine details are correct. So it looks just like That person So like the the idea is there. It could it could work But I just don't think you can work with like the images that you get from From your your phone. I that's I don't think we're quite there yet. So Um, so anyway, I didn't want to go too deeply into The selfie series because others have have Um, have talked at length about it and and I'm I'm increasingly starting to agree with those who have criticized it. So um, so, you know, that's But anyway, that's that's What I have learned And that's why I haven't ordered one yet, but I still probably will at some point Um, uh, he does says would you how would you react if hasbro released a flag sized battleship? Um in the name at the USS montana. Well, I think that would be cool for one thing, but Think about how About how expensive that would be people did not like the price tag on the classified his tank and this would be like 15 times that size So, uh, what would I think I think that'd be really cool But it would probably I I probably couldn't afford it most of us probably couldn't afford it But I will say this I will say this Um, I was a fan of the comic book series and in the comic book before they had the aircraft carrier They had a freighter that they used for like naval operations called the USS jane And I always wanted A toy of the USS jane um That would have been prohibitively expensive But I just always thought it would have been cool to have a USS jane toy um But uh, but but at any rate. Yeah, it's interesting interesting thought interesting interesting idea um Rob says think we're through a few years away They're also making a million rubber down his uni heads for mass retail iron man can't cover tooling costs for a one-off of me Yeah, see that's uh, I mean, that's uh, a really good point. Um So, uh, it's It's it's not like it's theoretically impossible, but it just I just don't we're not there and we're probably not going to be there immediately so um So anyway, um, so, uh, yeah, that's those are just my thoughts about it at least for the time being I I I should be a good reviewer and order one myself. I probably will um But I you know, I also always, you know, I'm very honest and frank about Uh about the item. Oh, thank you bad a very much. Uh, thank you for the super chat How do you feel about these sideshow collectibles gi show figures? Uh, the sideshow figures I I only have one of them, but the sideshow figures are really high quality um Like really high quality and they They have the price tag to go with it. Um, and um, and they're in a larger scale. They're in like the the 12 inch scale Uh, which actually scales really well with like the The 1960s and 70s joes the the big joes Um, but just amazingly detailed. Um, uh The price tag a bit too hefty for me to collect those Uh, but I have seen a few of them and they're just really really very impressive. Um, so I I could really see Why some collectors would jump on those. They're really very cool. They're very well made Um, so, um, what else we got? Um, oh next next on my notes Did I say hello to the figure six pack? If not, hello figure six pack um Let's see, uh There was an admiral ledger, but no admiral key ha in the cartoon. That's a good point Um, uh, they like had a new character rather than the the character that actually came with the toy They were trying to sell Okay, so Since we were briefly talking about Uh classified, um in this hasbro 1027 um Emily and lenny, um Showed off some Some like some of the old two ups from the The 80s and one of them was chuckles Uh, very interesting paint It was a two up paint master And the paint on chuckles very interesting the like this hawaiian shirt the the flowers They were like originally painted like really huge But apparently we are going to get a chuckles In the classified and we are going to get a shadow tracker now shadow tracker is a later figure Not one that I have a lot of great attachment to but I understand that Uh that fans of uh that era Really like that figure I'm not as interested in shadow tracker personally, but chuckles Absolutely, I really look forward to getting at chuckles and interested in seeing what they do with them Now lately classified figures have been Pretty faithful to the vintage Design with some exceptions Uh, so I expect it will probably be Uh pretty close to the version one chuckles I would assume so we should get a hawaiian shirt something With loud obnoxious colors. We should get some, you know, probably, uh, like, uh, uh Olive drab Bdu trousers and some boots something like that Yeah, I need looking that's a good way to describe it a neat looking figure Shadow tracker. It's just and I don't have anything against shadow tracker I just don't have a lot of personal connection to it But see rtd one loves shadow tracker see there you go see that's what I'm saying like it's a it's a popular Figure for fans of that era. So so you got you're gonna get your shadow tracker. You're gonna get your chuckles Also, I think it was funny that hasbro called that event 10 27 Um Because outside of the united states that would be wrong. That's not It's 10 27 because that was the date but That is a date Uh convention that uh that that isn't really used much outside of the us So I just thought that was that was a little funny, but but anyway 10 27 or 27 10 however you prefer Um, I I haven't actually watched the whole thing because like well, I mean A lot of it covers stuff that I don't have any interest in but I watched some of it I've been too busy to actually Get through the whole thing, but um, but I did watch a little bit of it and I really like seeing the The pre-production material Um, and it's I'm really encouraged that hasbro even still has Some of those two ups In their archive Hello, uh, james nice to see you. Thank you for being here Um, I know that a lot of the like the two ups and the pre-production Um prototypes and such a lot of them are just gone and some of them are in Um Are in private collections. In fact, that's how I've seen a lot of them is Uh in private collections when they're brought to a convention Um, usually by jody classified So I just really like that stuff. It's part of the history of the line And it's really nice to see some that I hadn't seen before. I had never seen the chuckles The chuckles, uh Two up paint master before so that's really cool So 1027 is the number of the real well, okay, so now we we know how to stalk hasbro Since your since your your love mail your fan mail to uh 1027 something or other Pawtucket road island Uh anyway, um Sean beckett Is not in the classified but me picked up shadow shadow tracker or helix So it's only a matter of time before they get to helix as well. Uh, they did, um, the kamakura figure And they did the blue ninjas. So Yeah, you'll you'll get that And oh james has new videos up in this channel. I had I hadn't seen those james. I'm glad to know that Um, I and I will admit I've done it. I've been terrible I've done a terrible job at keeping up with Uh the videos and the stuff that that other people have done and usually I keep up with that a lot better Uh, but lately I just I I am at capacity. I I'm doing all that I can I just don't have a um Uh, I just don't have the the the time to Uh to sit back and relax and watch a lot of the stuff that people are doing Nowadays and I I regret that I regret that because there's still a lot of cool stuff going on in the joe community Include in fact, rob iris airy and mike iris airy and joe and mark Are uh on what's on joe mind and that's a show that I I try to never miss and yet I have missed I've missed Uh, uh several episodes and I really want to Get back to that. I I miss people I miss people So I'm gonna try I'm gonna try to get back to watching other people's shows Um, hello nyquist. I don't think I've said hello to nyquist. Hello, uh, shan beckett Um, and I see it's the four flag repo would be a mic drop a moment for hasbro. You have the um, uh flag I mean that would be that'd be a tough one. Um, I will say though that at at some point They did re-release the mobile command center. So that was that's pretty sizable. That's pretty sizable Um, but the flag is that's um, that would be a tough one And I think it would be a lot more expensive probably than people think it would be. Oh, thank you joe syah What's on june mind a few weeks ago? mark weber Talked about the hasbro dungeons slash basement and the collection was pretty impressive. It's in the back catalog Yeah, that's that's good to know. It's good. It's good to hear that and it's also good to know that we have a A brand team that is going back there and looking at that stuff. Uh, hello chris purcell nice to see you It's nice to know that somebody that they care enough to go back And dig that stuff up and look at the history And help preserve the history I uh to me, that's pretty important. So, um, I will say that I do like the The brand team that they have on uh on gi joe now. I like emily. I like lenny. I think they both seem very nice and they seem to really be trying to um To Move in directions that the fans like and give fans what they want now. That's never going to be perfect And uh, and they there have been some missteps And they're continuing to be in missteps. Let's let's let's be honest Mistakes were made mistakes will continue to be made but they do seem to really be trying to to um To do the right thing and they do seem to care about the history and If if you can do that if you care about doing the right thing and you care about the history You can you can correct mistakes, you know, you you can you can get things moving in the right direction um, uh, I think some of the um Some of the The steps that have been less well received may not necessarily come from them because of course like anything they do It's got to be approved. They they don't have like carte blanche to do anything. They want with gi joe They, you know They answer to people above them. So Uh, how much is what they want to do versus how how much is what they have to do? How much they can get approved? Um, that's hard to say we may we probably will never know that but Um, but I I do I do like them and I do think they're trying and I I appreciate that very much um, so, um That's almost all I have on my show prep thing and we got about 20 minutes now. We still got to open this Oh, hey, it's what's on joe mine. Well, hero Where the hell are the singing cats? You just missed them. Uh, and I and I was actually plugging the damn show earlier I plugged the damn show earlier in in this show um, so, um, it and my apology my apologies to um, to uh, chris from comic tropes I need to do, uh, like a an extra long show like a two hour show and then make The mad lib Like the whole last half of the show. Um, I in fact, I'm I'm gonna try to do that I mean, hold on. Let me look at the calendar real quick um Hang on a second, um Now that's october So next week is the eighth Uh, well that's election day The 15th I might be able to do that um Um, yeah, well, maybe the eighth I might do the like a special election day special. Um, so Either next week of the following week I'm just gonna plan to do an extra long Live stream because I would like to get to that mad lib now for those who weren't around We did a mad lib on the Fourth of july 12 hour long live stream and it was a lot of fun chris sent that as well and that was a lot of fun We had a great amount of fun with that And I I'd really love to do it again. I want to make sure that we have the time to do it Um, and I think yeah, I I want to do an extra long Live stream. It's it's been a little bit since I've done that. I think I think we're due I think we're due. Um Jamelyn parks. Oh, hello Jamelyn by the way, um, how interested are you in new classified characters and versions of familiar characters? um, I well, I'd be interested in both and I think Um, new characters Is something that classified Uh, could use more of Um, I don't know if you classify them Like the blue ninjas as new characters um but But it would be nice to see. Uh, it would be nice to see, uh to see Classified expand the universe a little bit. Um Right now, mostly what we're getting is is like like this. It's a classified version of stalker and I love this because I I'm Stalker is my favorite character. So of course. I want a 6x representation of stalker. Of course I do um but um As much as I like this I think it would be cool to to see it expand and that's one thing that I think they Would have tried to do if the snake eyes movie were more successful Uh, they would have used that I think to as a jumping off point to expand But, um Well, we all know how that that turned out, but I'd still love to see more um comic tropes says would love to See some of the comics characters like billy dr. Venom october guard That would also be nice. I mean they're getting into the deeper into the catalog, right? They're doing shadow tracker So they're getting deeper into the catalog. So they could they could Draw on some of those characters Michael Mitchell If you saw timmers halloween themed video reviewing fortnight figures blatant Firefly rip off. He showed yes. I I did see that and in fact I have that figure and For a lot of fans that was the substitute Firefly at the six inch scale because the actual firefly figure that they released Um Didn't fit what everybody necessarily wanted. Um, Josiah says mystery box figure thing. Yes. I know. I know I won't forget. Thank you Thank you Josiah. I appreciate the reminder. Oh, uh, Curtis says hello from detroit. Hello detroit from the united states Hey, we got peg warmers in here. Hello peg warmers. I love seeing peg warmers Um, I've done some expansion of the line. It was blue ninja and a few other characters Um, uh, who have had limited release like comma correct. Yes, that is that's correct. Um And um, yeah, I I think it would be nice to see more of that, but there's a risk, right? There's a risk in Doing new figures of new characters or like lesser known characters because you know you're There are certain characters that have a built-in audience. They have a built-in fan base They already have the fan base, right? They already they're already fans of those characters and introducing Somebody new into that. It's a risk. Um, so it's something that they may not do Very much at least Without some kind of media to support it and to get people interested in that character But still I would like to Um, I'd like to uh, I'd like to see more of it. I would. Um But in the meantime, I'm I'm okay with you know I'll I'll take my stalker. I'll take my stalker. Um, that doesn't sound great. Does it? Um Hello duruti. Nice to see you. Thank you for being there. Duruti loved renegades. Yes, and renegades had some figures um But my understanding and I wasn't Really actively collecting very much at the time at least I wasn't collecting modern anything at the time Um, but my understanding is the timing of the release of the figures for that Was not ideal is that's my Understanding. Uh, hello, dr. No good. How do you do there? Uh, what gijo has live project? Would you like to see? um so We got a his tank. It was very successful Uh, it's also fairly expensive I would like to see something maybe a scale just a little back from the his tank something that more people will be able to get their hands on Uh, and something on the gijo side his tank is iconic Love it. Um So, um either Either well I was going to say something like, um, like the sky striker where it's a A reissue a modern issue updated of, uh, an iconic classic vehicle but, um I don't know. I'm not sure I'm not sure we want to go back to that. Well too much um, but something in the six inch scale of like a a vamp or Or something along those lines something on the gijo side something to match up against that his tank something that would be maybe a little bit smaller, but, um Uh Maybe in a slightly lower price range I know a lot of people wanted the his tank, but just couldn't get it and you know, I understand that Um, so I wouldn't mind maybe something something like a vamp Something in that category Uh, I think that would be nice. I I'd probably go for that um Sean says unfortunately the artist on renegades passed away shortly after show air. That's that's sad. I'm I'm sorry. I um, I My condolences. Oh, thank you, Rob Vegas. I'll see rules football version of captain gridiron. That would be actually that'd be all right That might be better than Then the actual gridiron armadillo. There you go. See you're thinking you're coming up with ideas These are actually pretty good ideas. Um, there is somebody who's doing um A custom Mini tank sort of like the armadillo. I wish I got their card from joe fest, but I didn't get it Um, but there's somebody making something like that if you're looking if you're interested in an armadillo style Vehicle, uh for the classified scale. There is somebody doing those um But uh, yeah, it all see rules football Uh version of captain gridiron. I would I would be highly interested in that Uh captain gridiron is a very interesting character. Um With with a an american football theme um I I I do think it's funny that the the mark balomo ultimate guide to gi joe like in the description Is how much fans hate this this figure? Um, and like obviously it's not one of my favorites But it's not that bad, you know, there are much worse. There are much worse um, but You know it on the one hand he takes the football theme a little too far With the football shaped grenades. That's a little bit silly, but on the other hand He like he's wearing a helmet, but it's the wrong shape It wouldn't work very well either as a combat helmet or a football helmet So it like it sort of fits the theme but not in certain ways and then In like the in the like the uniform that he's wearing Um, bazooka actually has a football jersey on Uh and captain gridiron the the figure, uh That's very blatantly football themed does not have Uh a jersey. He's got Something else a peculiar figure quite quite peculiar. I I would go for a change. Let's yeah, let's do an ozzy rules Uh version of captain gridiron. I I would go for that Uh peg warmers says don't forget to hit the like button. Uh, thank you very much peg warmers I'll also make sure you follow peg warmers Uh and kevin from peg warmers. Just really great guy. I like I like the guy met him a couple of times and it's uh He's just cool, dude, um and and a great show and I would like to see more of peg warmers I hope peg warmers is able to produce um To produce more. Um comic trope says hardball is weirder. Um hardball. See I haven't reviewed hardball. Um it's It's it's it's a tough one because Uh another sport themed figure, you know baseball themed figure And like the overall design he actually looks more like a baseball player Then gridiron looks like a football player. So he actually keeps with the theme a little bit better, but I I think i'm prejudiced about hardball Because as a kid, I thought the figure looked very plain They has like a mostly white shirt like a plain white shirt with a little gi joe logo It has like monochrome, you know bottom half of like the the brown um What I liked about the figure well, I like the hat, you know Hats are just cool. So I like the hat, but um and I like the grenade launcher The grenade launcher is really cool one of the best accessories. I think from the vintage era But as a kid, I just thought the figure looked kind of plain um, so it's one where I should review it because I might feel differently doing a review now than when I was a kid, um, but um lunatics alien lunatics aliens twins lobotomax and zabotomol Thank you. What's on Joe mind? This is why you're here, you know, this is these are the jokes folks Actually, that's pretty good. I I like that very much. That's That's a good one. That's a good one. I'll I'll accept that I'll I'll take that um, so we have we had uh, let's see. Yeah, he had a A baseball and case Casey likes hardball see Casey likes hardball Uh, Rob says he had a baseball jersey. Yeah, exactly. He he looks more like a baseball player um, you know If if you were to put hardball and captain gridiron side by side and say, you know, which one is dressed like an actual sport athlete hardball wins that, you know, uh, absolutely um But uh before we wrap up we got a few minutes left I did want to express my thanks to a certain Uh, a certain group of people although I I appreciate everyone here But um for those of you who have still supported the channel on patreon Despite the the cut back of of new content that I've done.

I show. I really Appreciate it. It really does mean a lot to me and we are down to Josiah reminded us we are down to this so This is a micro figure. We have numerous possibilities. I forgot to open this Last week, but we we it could be a gi joe It could be a ninja turtle so far. We have only got ninja turtles. No, that's not true We got a skeletor It could be masters of the universe a matel product We got a skeletor it could be a transformer So, uh, so let's let's open this How lucky do we feel? Um Type in the live chat from a scale of one to ten. How lucky Do we feel tonight? Do we feel like? Oh, hello die cast nick Uh, and thank you for being here and thank you for your support. Um Yes, uh paul covey. It's time for the unboxing. I'm not forgetting this time. I'm not forgetting this time But anyway, how how lucky How lucky do we feel? Um from a scale of Up here winning the lottery to down here Uh nordberg from the naked gun movies winning the lottery Down to nordberg from the from the uh Naked gun movies. So that's the scale of luck Um nordberg rather unlucky Uh, he did get acquitted though. So I guess that's a little lucky. Um, anyway, um So let let's let's see. Thank you for for your expressions of of the lucko meter. I'm in Later on I'm gonna have the show's mathematicians add up all those numbers And that will be our lucko meter For the night, but let's let's do this. This thing's been waiting a week Let's do it. I gotta cut the tape I gotta open the box Inside the box we have the disclaimer information. We have the Giant catalog again, um, and We have the actual the actual figure itself in a plastic bag I can't I can't tell I can't tell what it is Oh, and I should also thank chris from chromatropes. Uh, thank you. Ivan Um Yeah, see mr. Magoo another good example. Thank you. All right, but thanks for tocomicote for sending the the uh duke and Rock duke and row block many figures to me, but I let's see Let's see I think I think it smells like a gi joe. It smells like a gi joe So let's see. Let's see how lucky we are. I'll let him opening it right now All right, I have cut it open I've cut it open. I'm not I'm not even I can't look I can't look we had such bad luck For so long I can't you you just tell me what it is. I'm not even gonna look it's It's what is it? What is it? It's it's a he-man Well There we go That that's that's our luck We are Nordberg There's nothing wrong with he-man. I suppose. I mean, you know this He's got my physique. This is exactly like, you know, this is exactly what I look like with my shirt off um, but let's let's take let's take a brief look at um Uh at he-man so Are we sure there are gi joe figures in here? So That we're oh for four Oh for four send it to peg warmers. I could do that. I could do that Fortunately, the shipping on this is rather inexpensive I see this thing is Those those comments are okay youtube. I don't mind that Uh, come on There we go. Um, so yeah, it's um Let's let's let's take a brief look at he-man. There are his accessories He comes with the shield and the sword And a battle axe and a figure stand um, so Yeah, I went to like, uh An antique shop like a one with like the booths that people ran out one of them had some swords on it I I picked up every damn one of them and said by the power of grayskull Um and not one of them transformed me into a Into a muscle man um So again my luck Not one single sword in the in the shop Uh had the power of grayskull So this is interesting. We got a A skeletor last last time This is a he-man to go with it that chest piece is rather bulky On this guy. I I wonder if it might have been better to just sculpt it on Rather than make it a separate piece Um, but I you know, I'm not going to put the accessories on. I'm just going to accept the fact that Uh, we are you know, our luck is terrible and we are forever doomed And I'm gonna I'll put uh put he-man back here But but anyway, it is it is time for me to to wrap up the show Um Whether there was a one sword that shot you full of steroids though. Yeah, that's that's how that's how it really works Um, so, uh, I'll just I'll just put him back, but it is time to wrap up the show It's been really great talking.
