That's awesome Um, hello, uh, kaley matthew commended or nice to see you sir um Ben says well hasbro ever considered giving us a movie from the cobra point of view now That's an interesting uh question and an interesting idea I don't know if they would necessarily do a movie like that, but that would be um It would be unique wouldn't it um to actually get the cobra perspective um Interesting idea. I don't know if we ever get a movie of that, but maybe uh something along that line Can be done in a comic book series or something like that or maybe an animated series. That would be cool too um see, uh Sergeant slaughter slaughter house says uh speaking of comics sergeant slaughter is back in the saddle this week for action force Slight delay, but it looks like thursday release cool. Um action force. He's talking about the vala verse And I did pre-order that sergeant slaughter figure. Hello joe henry. Uh, thank you.

Um Yeah, uh, and oh, hey, it's rob iris airy It's uh, it's uh rob iris airy the famous Rob iris airy from uh, what's on joe mind? um Oh, and uh rob got the fang from walmart In a box really they gave it to you in a box. That's very kind of them um a ryan films um Oh, yeah, oh ryan films got drawing from patreon awesome. Uh, that's good um Next to an autograph photo of sam remy. That's awesome. Hey, I am very honored. That's that is really very very kind of you um, so, uh, I am curious about, um Anyone who got the retro fang from walmart um What your thoughts are about it? Because I've had I've heard mixed reports Uh, I've heard some reports that it's it's kind of cheap and flimsy But I don't have one and I haven't been able to find one myself um Even though I haven't really been actively collecting the retro series I might pick it up just out of curiosity After all I did get the the hang on. I I got the his tank right right over there I got the his tank Um, it's not in here, but it my his tank came with a box too um But I did not get the awestriker. Hey, it's lia. Hello lia nice to see you And uh troublemaker bricks, uh got the new his tank. I also got the his tank. I better put that somewhere So I don't get it messed up um I also got the his tank um Let's see stalemate says mine's still in the the mail Supposed to be in next monday. Well, okay, so you I'm I'm you'll have to Next time we get together you'll have to share your experience With the new fang and the fang is a redesign Right. It's not a Perfect copy of the original fang. They have redesigned it. They've made it I don't know Different, you know um But uh, but I've I've I've heard Uh reports that it's it's a little bit on the cheap and flimsy side. I I hope that's wrong I hope that's not correct, but uh, but I am curious about uh those who have it and what they think of it Uh, let's see jump in general says do you like the retro gi joe walmart 3.75 figures? Do you collect them? I don't uh actively collect them. I did pick up a destro Uh a few weeks back, but I haven't opened it. I'm not actively collecting them. Um Uh, I I'm I'm turning my attention back toward like the actual vintage toys So, um, I I mean they're fine, but they are they are just modern era figures um Not not necessarily entirely re-released but modern era figures On retro style packaging. That's basically what's retro about it. And that's fine. It's it's not really for me. Um, but um I encourage everyone who is interested in that to pick them up Of course, you know support gi joe where you can find it. Uh, and there is gi joe at retail right now Which is awesome. Um Cobra island says would you like to appear for an interview for the cobra island channel? Um, yeah, I could probably do that We need to talk separately so we can arrange it. Uh, I got to work out a time to do that But yeah, I'd be open to that that that'd be all right Um The fang pilot, uh, he's a new figure. Yeah, the uh, I believe the fang pilot is new and I do like the idea That, uh, we have a fang pilot now As you may remember the original fang helicopter did not include a pirate A pilot it didn't include include a pirate either But also not a pilot Um Uh, oh, yeah rob says to be actively collected you would have to see them in a store. Yeah, that's true. I mean Um The distribution has been a little lax So, um When I have checked out the gi joe Uh section of you know the toys Mostly what I find is nothing Uh, just empty pegs empty spaces Um But if I did run across the new fang I would probably pick it up out of Uh out of curiosity A pirate. Where's the rum? Um Yeah, I hate to fly the fang in this weather. Yeah, no kidding Uh for those of you who live, uh in other Countries or other parts of the country right now the the area where I live and in in fact a lot of the States surrounding my state are getting, um Uh inundated with um With uh winter weather and it's really cold and we don't like it We don't like the cold Um So yeah, that's happening Um Sparks or says it's the same with transformers as well Lots of empty space and no signs of restock. Yeah. And so how many how do you collect these things? If you can't ever find them um and I have I have uh found some items like for instance, I was able to pick up that retro Destro Um But That's that's about all that I've found um I haven't really found any of the of the new stuff. Um None of the vehicles I this this his tank I got this his tank like a couple months ago Uh, and I haven't seen any since so, um Uh, yeah, we're we're having some we're having some some Hasbro's having some distribution issues and uh, this section of the country is having some snow issues um James says it's nine inches in amarillo. Um, uh, I'm I'm not sure exactly what we've got right now But the problem is we are um Uh We're supposed to get more we're supposed to get pelted with more snow tonight Um Let's see, um Uh, jerry is wondering if I saw the pics on a post on facebook about the bridge layer variant founded toy store in florida I did not see that I apologize for missing that Um, I'll try to go back and see it I know there are some variants of the bridge layer and some of those variants are hard to find So if you can get your hands on a bridge layer variant, uh, you are pretty lucky Um Aaron says six inches here and uh, still falling thick. That's yeah, right now. It's not snowing It actually gave us a break today But it is going to start snowing again like any minute Um, oh, there's painted. Hello painted plastic. Thank you for joining Uh, and uh, jason sends a super chat all striker vintage versus retro same quality Uh, good question. I don't have the awestriker If I run across the awestriker, I will get it Um Because I'm curious about that exact question. I want to compare it with the The vintage as far as quality Now the his tank In my opinion is comparable To the quality of a vintage his tank It's pretty good I assume the awestriker is two But but I don't have my hands on one. I haven't been I haven't seen one Um, and I have been looking, uh Sometimes occasionally at least When I think about it, I stopped by the toy aisle and see if there's anything new. I haven't seen any I haven't seen any. I would would purchase but I've not found any um Leah says keep that snow out west. Well, apparently we're keeping it Um, it's nice to see you painted plastic. Thank you for joining. It's always it's always nice to see you here Mecca 82 says hello and I say hello back um The real erin collins says says salute and I say salute back um Troublemaker says his walmart had six of them really That's not bad considering all of the walmarts that I visited in this area had zero So, uh, this is what I'm talking about about the really uneven distribution some Uh areas get a lot of them and others areas get none Uh cobra island says I have vintage awestriker, uh the 25th anniversary and retro But I found all three have the same play features Uh that that kind of makes sense. Yeah um Stephen said he saw an awestriker at the local walmart, but had to pass on the 25 dollars Yeah, you might consider 25 to be fairly steep But you know, it's still cheaper than a vintage one And for me it would be worth it just to uh, have the chance to open it up and uh, compare The quality with the vintage Uh Stephen style says seattle area none See seattle's not getting any My area not getting any by the way. Hello seattle from the united states But um, yeah, so That's mostly what we have to talk about right is the retro line at least that's You know had some stuff come out um, I I um I got I got some pre-orders on the uh On the classified series and to be honest, I may I kind of forgot which ones I pre-ordered So I'll it'll be like christmas when I actually get them Uh, do you think uh action figure x versus do you think special mission brazil is a sub team? That's a good question. I don't count it as a sub team um Just because it seems to be you know put together for a very specific mission um Like a discreet mission And you know, they're g i joe often selects certain personnel for A specific mission But once that mission's over then you know, they you know, there's still just part of the team It's more of a squad But that's just my opinion I know uh, that's not Everyone's opinion, but I don't you usually count it as a sub team um I it's more of a mission specific squad if that makes sense I'm sorry guys. You've been typing so fast. Uh, I have not been able to keep up with the super chat. What are you guys saying? Ohio and michigan have been getting slammed with joes that's interesting Because around here we definitely have not been um The mail almost lost a side kill and scooter that you ordered from go bots. I know those guys those are go bots Um, and I think I answered that question ask action figure experts I I don't think it's a sub team in my opinion, but your mileage may vary Um Uh Real iron column says we mostly have targets here in LA county very few walmarts here. Uh, well Then maybe you'll have a chance on getting the classified target exclusives Good luck Yeah, uh When they came out with more target exclusives, um, that's When I lost a lot of enthusiasm for the classified line because I did not enjoy chasing those target exclusives last time Um radical toys says hey from canada. Love your channel. Uh, well, hello canada from the united states And thank you very much. I'm glad you like the channel and it's really nice to have you here um Name name says they have a ton of them in mississippi See mississippi's got a ton of them. Uh, we got we got none Mississippi apparently has lots of them Uh stores in uh, kebek, uh, the gi joe section stays empty sadly. Yeah Um, I I mean and I don't know I mean if I don't know what to do if you If you want to try to find them at retail and support the brand at retail You've got to be able to they've got to be there. You've got to be able to find them And that just isn't the case Dave says uh, the recent idw untold stories are awesome larry is killing it. I am a big fan of larry hama I have just fallen a little behind on reading the idw series. I will do my best to catch up I will do my best But I I'm a big fan of larry just in general Um, but obviously i'm i'm a fan of his writing And uh, and I have read some of the idw series and it's uh, it's generally pretty good uh When it comes to gi joe The the universe of gi joe I prefer the universe of the larry hama comic books. I i'm a i'm a hama verse Uh person when it comes to gi joe that's not to say that that there aren't uh Good things about other aspects of gi joe. I don't know the animated series has a ton of fans Uh, and in fact a lot of people got introduced to gi joe through the animated series Uh, but personally i'm i'm just a comic book guy and I prefer the larry hama version of the gi joe universe um Rob irozeri says I found toy sections around me to be empty just in general since like october Um, yeah, that's that's very similar to The way that it is here. Um, we did get a few shipments of the retro series at our local walmarts We got a few Uh, which is how I got to his tank But I had to really hunt for the thing I had to get lucky um So, um, yeah There are it's very uneven the distribution on these things is very uneven. There are places that are getting a ton of them um But uh Other places that are getting none at all Um mecca, uh, to be honest, I haven't read the devil's do series So I'll have to I'll have to plead ignorance And I will get to it. I I do want to read all of the different series that are out there um, but um, but yeah, I'm definitely behind uh larry hama I've been a fan of his work since I was a kid. So, um, I I got kind of a pro larry hama bias there um The community The community verse of gi joe is the best. Thank you. They gone and hello. They gone welcome. I don't think I said hello to you Yeah, that was that was pretty good uh That was pretty good um Name name says I'm collecting version one bats right now. The prices are ridiculous. Yeah, the price on version one vintage Uh bats have been Going through the roof for the past several months Uh, I'm glad I got my cobra bats like a couple years ago Because there's no way I could afford them now Stephen I I also would really like to see the snake eyes trailer. But no, I haven't heard anything on Uh, when that's supposed to come out. We need to see Um, we need to see a trailer Um Bart says, uh, hello from pittsburgh. Hello pittsburgh from the united states. Thank you for joining Um Yeah, uh, let's see, uh, marvel comics were superior, but sunbow had to put some story in a 22 minute commercial. Um, and again I'm not hating on the sunbow series. I I enjoy the sunbow series In fact, I've learned to enjoy the sunbow series much more as an adult than I did as as a kid But uh, but I'm still you know, if I have to choose I still choose the comic book That that comic book Is a huge part of my personal history and was a big part of growing up for me. So And uh, oh and Uh, who's that them may ever Jogar I'm sorry.

There are some honestly there are some days when um When The idea of doing a A review just feel so daunting that um, I can't Work myself up to doing it. Um And and I I I apologize for that because I I really want to get back to a routine But um These last few months have been A challenge. Uh, it's it's been really tough and I don't want to I don't want to dive too deep into that. It's um We'll just say it's been a challenge and I'll just leave it at that Um, but I I've not been very good at At returning people's messages. I haven't been very good at Anything lately really? Um I've just been trying to to take care of myself and and to take care of my mental health So that I can So that I can get back to doing what I love doing Hello, Eric Russ. Nice to see you um Let's see didn't know I don't know if you guys in the u.s. No, but they're here in brazil We have the vintage 12 inch made by australia Uh, it is called falcon Um, I've not heard of that, but I'm not an expert on non us releases. So that's really interesting um A vintage 12 inch when you say vintage Are you talking to like 80s? Or are you talking like pre 80s? Uh Thank you rebel dad. That's very nice of you to say. I love you as well Uh, which is why I'm here um, I'm wanting to um I just I really missed everyone and I wanted to reconnect and just have some time to talk Like I said at the beginning. Uh, I don't have an agenda for this episode I don't have a plan. I just wanted to sit here and talk with you guys And chat about g.i.jo and just have a nice time um See you later Sir sirig Lee Nass I probably said your name wrong, but have a good evening Um, thank you phoenix. Uh, I am trying to put my own health first, um But uh Making videos has been part of uh, my life for several years and it's I have a sense of loss When I'm not able to make a video um So I don't know. Uh, I'm really doing my best to try to Try to keep up and to put to put out something Uh as much as I can um This is my rifle. This is my gun. Yeah, uh, sorry. I missed that one Um Uh, yeah action team is called commandos emma sow and falcon. I I have heard of commandos emma sow I have heard of that. Um, I just don't know a lot about it. So Uh, yeah, sorry if we're not, uh Uh, sorry for if we're not knowing a whole lot about it Anyway, um frostbite ate too many chuckles But um, yeah, um, I uh, I don't I don't uh Um, I haven't gotten very much All I have for show and tells like the stuff I have left over from the review that I just finished I I got the box for the snow cat out I thought I was going to use the box for the snow cat for the review, but I ended up not not reviewing it um Uh rebel dad said just finished fixing the dragonfly put together about five part part ones to make One complete one never had one as a kid, but you got one now that is hey is there through Sometimes when you're collecting, uh, you Get to have the things that you once had as a kid But other times you get to have things that you never had as a kid and that can be just as exciting um There's one thing that I don't love about the Snow cat box is the the window frame kind of cuts into the artwork Because this is some nice artwork. I really like the artwork, but but the window frame there The window panel for the that shows the action figure It just cuts cuts off the front bit of the uh of the snow cat And I think it kind of spoils the artwork a little bit some otherwise really good artwork So anyway, yeah, I got that out thinking that I would need it, but I ended up not needing it Here's something I got like weeks and weeks like months ago in fact Is beach head. Hey, here's what I can do I just I just it just occurred to me I can do an exclusive unboxing of the pop vinyl beach head Um This is another example of you know, I try to support the brand as much as I can You know when I can find it and I was able to find Beach head here. So uh, why not? Why not? I'll just open it up And we'll take a look at uh at at the pop vinyl Uh the funko pop beach head Shall we Shall we We shall oh we shall we're doing it. We're doing it We're doing it I'm opening it right now It's open There's no tape or anything on it after all Just slide out the the plastic I can put it back in the box if I want to but slide out the plastic and Flip this up push him out And there is beach head There you go with this little uh This little gun there And here's something I like That's painted details on his backpack. It's like the vintage backpack But with painted details instead of being all black So that's not bad That's not bad. They did not skimp on the details on beach head uh, let's see I guess I guess there's a camouflage pattern on The legs. Yeah, but it's a little too subtle I think a little more contrast on that camouflage pattern would have been uh a help But that's undeniably beach head right there And and you saw it unboxed Right before your very eyes You didn't even know that was going to happen, but it happened And here he is um His uh submachine gun is uh is silver Rather than a dull gray as with the vintage figure But um, yeah, it's not bad I'm not a huge fan of funko pops But uh, I do try to support the gi joe brand as much as I reasonably can and these at least are not very expensive Um, uh, thank you very much, uh, them. I I'm sorry. I I'm not I have a hard time pronouncing your full name But them I I thank you. I miss you guys as well. I I do So, um, let's uh, I'll just put um Oh Here here we go. Let me see if I can keep him in frame. Let's see if uh Let's see There well, I can do that, but now I can't I can't read I can't read the live chat There There we go There There now. Now I got a little buddy That was amazing, wasn't it? Um, I I do have uh some other funko pop, um Uh gi joe figures, um I'm not sure where they are right now. I kind of they're probably stored away somewhere but um At any rate, there you go the exclusive unboxing of uh Of beach head here And he stands pretty well the you know, uh funko pops are um Mainly to like take to work and put on your desk or something like that They're not real action figures so, uh, I mean they're they're Articulation is minimal. In fact, this is it You're talking about a single point of articulation that they're not really designed to be played with It's it's a collectible. Um And you know you There he is. Sorry about that They're not really designed to be played with so You know, but what you do is is uh, you get a few you take them to work you put them on your desk So your your coworkers are like, oh, what's that? Oh, you're a fan of the gi joe. That's nice um Cobra island says he's 21 subscribers from his goal of 150. Well, good luck, bro Good luck. Um, if you haven't subscribed to cobra island, make sure you check out his channel He's trying to get to 150 Beanie babies, um Well sort of They they certainly have uh, some they share some qualities with beanie babies uh But uh as far as Fads go I believe funco has already outlasted, uh, the beanie baby craze um So, uh, yeah, you're not really intended to collect, you know, all of them You're really intended just to just get the ones that appeal to you um So, you know They're they're fine in that regard. Uh, they're pretty harmless. Hey, it's trek yards. Hello trek yards I'm doing all right. I hope you're doing well. Thank you for joining that.

I'm a big fan of those and I think they're awesome I hope that answers your question Other than gi joe, what do I collect? You know, I don't really um, I I don't get into any other collecting really, uh, at least No, um No, not really mainly because I want to I want to I have my collection focused and I don't want to Uh, start collecting so much that I don't have space for the stuff that I get so Um, I try to limit My collecting to just one thing um, although I Occasionally get a sampling of other things like for instance, I For some reason I I wanted to have a he-man. So I went out and I got a he-man Uh, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna start collecting he-man Um, it's it's a one-off Um, I might buy a transformer Uh, but that doesn't mean that I'm gonna dive into collecting transformers I I'm a completist when it comes to us release Uh gi joe action figures And that in itself is a pretty big collection. So I'm trying to keep it Keep it in that range Yeah, let me talk about what's on joe mine just a little bit What's on joe mine?
