It's a new tradition Chris Chris from comic tropes asked about my least favorite Christmas song There are probably several several that would contend for that But I think my favorite my favorite Christmas song is Patrick Swayze Christmas So favorite Christmas movie is Ernest saves Christmas favorite Christmas song is a Patrick Swayze Christmas I think it's that one's pretty special now that one warms my heart that puts me in the Patrick Swayze Christmas spirit every time Yo Joe greetings Oklahoma from the North Pole greetings the North Pole from the United States It feels like the North Pole here. I just I Did 5k walk with my friend? Before I started the show and I'm just now thawing. It's really cold outside So yeah, it's cold here. It's probably it's not the coldest ever, you know, they're colder places This feels like probably summer in Canada Alistair he was over here call it causing trouble a second ago and now I Don't see him which could be a bad thing Where'd he go? He was he was over here rattling things around just before we got started and then he kind of wandered off and Who knows what he's done.

He'll be fine Anyway, so I don't have Anything to open I don't have anything Christmasy to open For this show. Oh, but okay. See I got distracted. I didn't quite get through all of the The announcements I mentioned what's on Joe mind do definitely check that out on Fridays today is Tuesday That means there's a new half the battle episode from Timmer Timmer did an episode on rip it Rip it good. So check out half the battle on YouTube To see the new episode um, I guess two Sort of pieces of GI Joe news I had to talk about Number one I got another email saying the Sky striker is ready to ship That's not really news though. I mean we knew that Um, you have any plans for Christmas this year? Yeah, I do. I'm gonna spend some of the holiday with family Pretty standard standard Christmas stuff. Thank you Josiah for the super chat a third half. You're going long. Well Look, I'm no math scientist but There there will be There there can only be two halves, you know of any hole so If something's coming in the in the third half then You do the math you you do the math on that at any rate I'm enjoying my my delicious eggnog here Yeah, just doing you know regular holiday stuff Spending time with the family hanging out You know the usual So hopefully everybody else has has a nice Christmas. I try to be um, I try to be Empathetic toward people who Who don't necessarily enjoy the holidays not everybody has a great time around Christmas time Thank You comic tropes a favorite holiday snack food or dessert favorite of See we we serve a lot of the same food around Christmas that we do Thanksgiving so My favorite is probably pecan pie. I'm a really well-made pecan pie is is delightful and I some people may think that of more of a Thanksgiving thing, but it's like a pecan pie with the Really rich custard in it. That's a that that's my favorite. I can eat about a million of those Anyway, so half the battle, okay Excuse me GI Joe news number one Another email saying sky strikers ready to ship that's not really news we get we got that before Yes, I'd like some pecan pie. I love me some pecan pie Next GI Joe news it is apparently Yeah, see you read my mind you read you read my see I was thinking pecan pie and you typed pecan pie Second piece of GI Joe news Apparently people have been getting emails that the GI Joe Nerf gun is being canceled They are there. They're nixing the whole project Roberto regards from Nuevo Laredo Mexico. Hello, Mexico from the United States and and happy holidays to you Thank you very much for being here Um Nog them eggs. Yes. Yes, that's that's the trick to making this stuff is figuring out how to nog eggs When you figure out how to nog eggs, then you can make eggnog It's a well, I can't describe it. It's obscene Do I going to do a find your Facebook? That's a good thought. I hadn't I wasn't planning on it, but but Since you bring it up, it's been a while since we've done a Find your fate book. Thank you the killer easter for the super chat Scrooge is our Christmas movie and sorry, but Patrick Swayze is no match for Bob and Doug's 12 days of Christmas. Yeah Yeah, you know what you you keep Christmas in your way. I'll keep it in mind. Okay, but the good choices good choices Those are good choices I forgot what I was gonna say see this is what happens. I Unfortunately like my my my mind is on a very narrow track It's too narrow so that anything could just knock it off and now I'm careening down the woods So, yes a GI Joe news number two in the The Announcement that the the presentation that they made a couple months ago They Announced a GI Joe themed Nerf gun Hasbro did Well, Hasbro apparently has canceled The GI Joe themed Nerf gun canceled Which is fine, I guess I was surprised they went that direction anyway, I I don't know that there's a large crossover audience I'm sure some people would have bought it. It wasn't anything that interested me if For the people who did want the GI Joe Nerf gun I'm sorry. You're not gonna be able to get it. I still wish you'd be able to have it But Yeah, that's anyway, they they they cancel it now I'm no I'm no Nerf scientist But I just felt like the the design that they came up with it the deco for it that they showed was Gaudi Not to my eye aesthetically pleasing so not something that I'll That that'll need to get that I needed to get I didn't need it I didn't I didn't pre-order it, but if you did pre-order it apparently it's it is canceled. It is it is a next Anyway, I was saying okay I didn't have a find-your-faith book planned for tonight But since you bring it up and since we haven't done it for a while I will I'll do that for the next the next live show, which is regular Tuesday Is the 27th so Yes So so on the 27th It'll be it'll be after Christmas, but on the 27th was we'll still be in the Christmas spirit I feel like you can you can be in the Christmas spirit at least up through new years. Hello, Mike Layton. Nice to see you Thank you very very much for being here So yeah, I will do a find-your-faith. Oh, thank you James Thompson for the super chat I have you gotten your classified Crimson guard. I have not I got mine last week But didn't make the live stream. Hopefully they make a general Hawk I believe they are supposed to make a general Hawk. I can't wait for your classified a review of the Crimson guard. Yes That is I thank you James. Thank you That brings me to something that I haven't talked about very much but But it is something that That will affect the channel my employment status is changing and I should be able to get back into doing regular edited reviews is something that I'm really looking forward to I've really missed doing it And I'd really like to get back to it. So I'm not sure exactly when I probably have to get through the holidays first. It's kind of a hectic time right now but But I've I'd like to pick up where I left off There was a review that I was getting ready. I was getting ready to do it And then I got busy and then I couldn't do it. So So I'd like to pick up where I left off and pick up again with Excuse me the class of Friday Regular Friday classified series figures because I mean look look at all this stuff. I got I haven't like I Got mindbender. I got mindbender and I haven't been able to do like an actual review I got sergeant slaughter. I got I Got I got sergeant slaughter and I haven't been able to do An actual review of the figures so so yes, I'm looking forward to To getting back to that it may take a little bit But we we're gonna get we're gonna get back to it. I'm very much looking forward to that. But anyway That's that We've gone through the news We we've we've been festive. We've made we've already made plans for next week. Oh, thank you, Rob Vegas for the super chat I would buy life-size 1993 GI Joe spring motor rocket launcher Merry Christmas to you HTC 78 and all the legends here in the chat. Thank you very much Rob. Thank you very much that Has anybody ever tried to make one of those? We've got some amazing cosplayers out there doing some amazing things, but has ever anybody actually tried to make Like a life-size spring-loaded missile launcher from from the 90s. I Mean it would be really big right because I mean they're oversized for the figures You'd have to make it out of a really light material or otherwise, you know, it's gonna be like super heavy It's like it'd be gigantic. It's it says. I mean the missile launchers are almost as big as the figures are It's the cosplayers you need to get on that Um Joseph says go bangles. Well the bangles are going pretty well. They're they're going they they are going My patriots are not going not going anywhere fast. We We're not having the best season, but the bangles are doing well. Congratulations Anyway Potato guns don't count. Maybe potato guns would count. I don't know maybe It's sort of you know, it's sort of It's sort of But yeah, like I mean the mechanics of it should be pretty simple, right? I mean, it's it's not that, you know mechanically complicated to do a spring-loaded missile launcher, so You know, you just scale that up a lot I say that as if it's something simple and easy. It's not I'm sure it's not Why did the nerf gun get cancelled not sure but I my assumption is that they didn't get The pre-orders that they were expecting And maybe the the interest wasn't there that they were hoping was that's my guess. That's just my guess But yeah, and I didn't order it. So it's there's no real loss to me. I didn't I wasn't gonna get it But but sorry to those who you know who who were wanting to get it There are nerf guns that have a rocket-sized dart see that's pretty close See that's the idea that like a spring-loaded, you know Um missile launcher. Oh a Joker. Hello. How do you do sup with you? Thanks for joining us Joker? So yeah You could do it. I mean, there's no physical reason you couldn't do it, right? Yeah Actually that Chris Says canceled because no nerf dr. Mine bender to shoot at you that is funny. Hello bad ape Thanks for joining that is funny because we do have a classified Dr. Mine bender and if we had the nerf gun to we could we could take shots at At the classified dr. Mine bender and now we will be robbed of that opportunity Um Supred um See you blue. I'm sorry if I missed somebody's question See blue reliever says I believe who he said he has some serpent or on the way Yes, I was able to order serpent or but he is not here yet I did not get in on the first wave of Orders because they sold out too fast, but I did get in on the second wave of orders But it hasn't arrived yet a lot of folks Already have theirs. So I'm Johnny come lately with for the serpent or but I will get one. I will get one Yeah Well, brother knows a girl who belongs to a group that goes out and shoots each other with nerf guns and that could be fun you know You know wouldn't hurt, you know, just just You know, but anyway Um, that's that that's all the GI Joe news that I know of is The sky striker is still on the way the nerf gun cancelled New half the battle Timmer episode today What's on Joe mind on Friday? I don't know if this Friday or not, but usually on Friday. What's on Joe mind? And I think that's it also I'm we're there we're in This just in in GI Joe news I'm wearing a ridiculous thing on my head Film at 11. Yes eggnog. Thank you again to Mary Ann for getting the eggnog Jeffrey is late, but he's here. Oh Jeffrey. If you're late, you have to bring You have to bring snacks for everyone. So, you know, hopefully you brought snacks for everyone I'll give you a minute to Distribute the snacks around the group, but glad you're here. Glad you're here. Yes, they cancelled the nerf gun Yeah, oh Thank You James Thompson for the super chat a pre-ordered classified cover girl That is one that I would I would really like to see I'd like to get my hands on I always liked the the the design of cover girl a Mary would go nerf gunning while ghost hunting That's a bit. Hey, that would be a fun. See now that would be cool. You know, you combine You make ghost hunting competitive Turn ghost hunting into a competitive sport Well, see now I kind of wish I had got the nerf gun Because that's either that would be fun Yeah, run around with the the big ugly orange gun and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah Bubble wrap memories receive stank eyes day. Thank you so much. Oh, yeah I thank you bubble wrap memories for for what you did. So Wrapping up previous news Timmer from half the battle did his charity drive last month and He had a drawing I contributed one of the prizes to the drawing One of those prizes was the unmasked snake eyes from Joe Fest 2019 and Bubble wrap memories won the prize. So that's awesome. I'm glad it arrives safely James, thank you for the super chat, but now we need a classified scale Wolverine Think how cool that would be Think how cool that would be it would be big, right? It would be at least as big as the hiss tank But that would it would be cool, you know, it's it's a it's a medium-sized vehicle. It's not huge But you you're gonna have the vehicle driver. We are getting vehicle drivers without vehicles Hey, Bart. Nice to see you. Thank you for being here Yeah, you're you're welcome to jingle your bells. Whatever you do in the privacy of your own home. You can you can jingle Jingle all the way Yeah So, yes nerf gun canceled Again, I assume I assume that there just wasn't the the interest in it that they were expecting I'm guessing Um Rebel dad. Hello. Thanks for being here. Hello from Michigan ground zero for the coming Arctic Blizzard Hello, Michigan from the United States. Thank you very much for joining. It sounds awfully cold there Frank frankly, I think you probably should arm yourself, you know Yeah, prepare to defend yourself from the godless Arctic Blizzard that is headed your way Cobra claws are coming to town. I think I mentioned this last time the the that episode of the animated series Cobra claws is coming to town. Well, it's hilarious. First of all But you know it if Cobra has the technology to shrink things There's so much more they could have done with that That that could have been the game changer that could have been it But the only thing they could think of to do is to well, you know what they did But yeah, but think about how much power you can have If you could shrink things and then return to them to their normal size, I mean think about this think about this Say you want to do somebody in You know, all you do all you have to do is like switch out their their aspirin for a little pill that that has Has a Toyota Corolla in it you shrink a Toyota Corolla down to pill size Give this guy the pill and then you push the button the Toyota Corolla Expands to its normal size And and and the guy explodes Ruining the Toyota Corolla you have to completely Replace the upholstery, you know, you'll have to run it through the car wash get it detailed think of the power and grow things He grew Polly gigantic. Yeah, that's right Yeah That's I mean they didn't they eat him You know, didn't they eat Polly after I don't know I don't remember I have to go back and watch that episode Yeah, see this is this is what yeah, the car Toyota Corolla explode. Yes, exactly So I think it think of the the power that you would have Oh, thank you bad ape for the super chat in happy news I'm giving the kids who ride my bus cheap GI Joe figures for Christmas. That's nice. That's nice. See that is A charitable thing that will that will create fond memories for youngsters. That's very nice. That's a cool idea So so yes, yes I Draws says how about a Honda Civic? Well, I think if the car is already too really small It's hard to shrink down smaller, you know If it like like a smart car you get the hit it with the shrink ray. Nothing happens. In fact, it might grow actually a little bigger I don't know. I I don't make the rules here. I'm not look. I'm no shrinking scientist I don't I'm no shrink ray scientist. I'm really I'm shooting from the hip here I'm assuming this is how the technology works. I've make sense to me anyway The Chuck E cheese figures given those two kids at Halloween. Yeah, the the Chuck E cheese like Chuck E cheese gave away some Admiral keel hall figures like some bagged ones Yeah, build a fan base So yes, so this is what happens When I don't have anything to open is I ramble I try to pay attention to the super to the well to the super chats, of course But to the chat in general Which means that I'm my brain is going in in all these different directions Here's something festive. I have something festive right here. I Have this sub this little plush dog here. I Got it. I got it from Raising Canes the chicken place And it's a it's a puppy dog version of Clark W. Griswold from Christmas vacation so it's a little puppy Clark and And and what the best part is is on the back. He has a squirrel That's a squirrel on his back Is a squirrel on his back and then the the squirrel actually it it bell crows on so you can take it off So, you know, that's so anyway, that's festive, right? It's got it's got a little little jingle bell in his hat So What you got to do is you got to get in the holiday spirit So you don't make this little puppy cry That yeah, if you don't get in the holiday spirit, you're gonna make this puppy go on the The rant tirade that Clark Griswold went on In the in that movie and no nobody wants to see a little cute puppy swear Nobody wants to see that So you get in that holiday spirit you get in the holiday spirit You better watch out He's got his he's got he's got his eye on you He's got his eye on you. Wow. I'm a weirdo. Anyway, so why does anybody watch this show? This is a show about GI Joe action figures and toys and whatnot. So I hope you're all enjoying the GI Joe theme content Are you enjoying it Clark? Clark is enjoying it Bart had a monkey on his back once was it was a velcro They come off real easy if they're velcro Just a silly thing anyway, so Rescue me I've gone through all the topics that I had I've gone through all the topics that I had I did all the GI Joe news. I did all of the announcement. I'm out announcements. I wore a weird thing on my head So I'm hoping that I guess we can talk a little bit about the the the future The future of this channel and you know, what's going to go on I'm hoping that once I get past the holidays. I'll be able to start doing regular reviews again I'm there. I would like to pick up on the one That I was gonna do when I stopped and then there is a special request for stalker version 2 that I would like to do before the winter passes us and I Keep doing the live stream as well I've got I have several things several classified figures that I would like to get in front of the camera and review So I need to pick Pick up class of Friday again that needs to get started again Yeah, so There's Another thing that starts in January is we in January we start organizing Cobra convergence so Cobra convergence is in July we start organizing in January It was really It was really tough to get it going and get it organized This year, I'm hoping that it'll go smoothly Next year and it's not anybody else's fault but me I am the reason that it that it was difficult I I put all of the the burden on myself and I I do a lot I try to organize everything keep everything together And I just work myself into a tizzy. So I'm gonna try to not do that I'm gonna try to pace it out Get started early get tasks done early And have it ready to go and hopefully have an even bigger Event this year, but it's yeah, it's got to start. It's got to start It's got to start in in January one thing that always bothers me Every time is that there's always at least somebody Who I feel should be in the event who is not in the event like and they should have got an invite But you know either I didn't think of it or I wasn't Aware of what they were doing at the time for whatever reason. That's somebody who I would like to have brought in but But for whatever reason I didn't well this time. I'm gonna Really gonna try to not do that. I'm really really gonna try and some people Are not able to do it some people, you know decide that they're too busy whatever and that's fine That's fine. If there are people are too busy can't do it. That's that's understandable But if they want to do it, I want them to have the opportunity to do it and In order to do that I've got to make sure I get the invitations out So I'm really really gonna try to have a very inclusive Cobra convergence in 2023 and I'm gonna try I'm gonna try So basically if if if there is any GI Joe themed content creator who isn't in it It's probably because they they they couldn't do it either a scheduling conflict or they just Were not up to it. So but hopefully everybody who Wants to do it Will have an opportunity to do it. I'm gonna try But that yeah, that but truthfully though that is my biggest regret every Every year is that inevitably somebody gets left out And I don't want anybody to be left out. Oh, I'm new. Yeah, Alastair's first Cobra convergence Let's see how he can mess that up Yeah, so yeah Cobra convergence. I'd like to do there is something that I would like to do in addition to To the usual, you know Calendars of events a calendar of presenters What I I would like to also do an Interview with each of the presenters that I can present I can I can post on their day, you know When that when they're on the calendar, they can also, you know, they also have a little extra bonus, you know interview Like a one-on-one interview So that's that I feel like Would help People who are new to the event to get to know some of the creators To get to know some of the people that are in the community and that have been doing it for a long time And get to know some people who are new to the kid to the community who have, you know, just started creating I like the idea. I like the idea I don't know how I will be able to do all of that without killing myself But I'm gonna try It's it's it's at least in the idea stage. I wouldn't say it's at the planning stage It's still at the idea stage, but yeah, I would like to make it More inclusive and I would like to actually make it more of an event if I can but What happened to Steve Irwin, oh, oh, yeah, I know what happened to Steve Irwin Oh What happened to sparkster You you petted a manta. Yeah, yeah, you yeah, you watch out man Those things will get you Those things will get you so that is that's the future of the channel at least the The short and medium term future We'll get back to doing regular reviews I don't know if I will be able to do a review every week But I'd still like to get back to doing regular reviews and Cobra Convergence It really does take all that time from January to July. It takes all that time to get it up and running and organized so So yeah in January We will We'll start talking about it. You will start getting invitations from me. You'll get messages from me and I may I may need to solicit Solicit messages from people who want to participate because There are there are new creators coming on out there doing podcasts and doing YouTube shows and doing all these things and I don't always catch on to them right away Comic tropes says what do you watch on YouTube? I watch comic tropes on YouTube That is actually true. I watch comic tropes on YouTube. That's that's one of the shows I watch and and and half the battle I Timmer I watched Timmer and And what's on Joe mind? and Other than that, you know random stuff on the YouTubes But yeah, a comic tropes though is a Has a great show Focused on comic books, of course But but a comic tropes is a great show and a a much larger channel and deservedly so Oh Bart participates with the Joburg guys for Cobra Convergence. Thank you Bart and thank you Joburg guys And yeah, I hopefully hopefully you will have a chance to do that again in 2023 I'll I will get started and we will we will start figuring out who is in I Know I know Chris but but it but it was a good opportunity for a plug Because you know that is in fact one of the things I watch on YouTube. I that that is a truthful statement But yeah, I try to keep up with With the GI Joe community, you know what they're creating I don't keep up with it as well as I would like to But I do try to keep up with it pig warmers My friend Kevin who does the show peg warmers. I try to catch that whenever it's on See Ryan Sweeney we at a toy kind of mood are in with a terror drum Yes, toy kind of mood was in last year and I would love to have you in again this year See, this is what I'm saying like I'm really glad that you were that you were in I don't want to miss anyone like that anyone who's doing something who's creating something I I I deeply regret when There's somebody out there creating something and trying to to find an audience and putting their Their effort out there and and I miss it. I Hate that So I'm gonna try not to miss it, but yes a toy kind of mood Cobra convergence contributor Thank you very much for that guys, and I hope you'll hope you'll be back. I hope I hope everybody would be back be back Usually I start with Trying to contact everyone who was in the event the previous year To see who wants to come back and inevitably there are at least a few that have to drop out Right for various reasons. They're too busy, or they're just not doing it anymore Whatever no hard feelings. It's just that's life. That's life, but inevitably there are a few folks that that That will need to drop out but yeah, the first task really is to talk to Everyone that was in the previous year and see if they would like to be back the next year So that's that's where we'll get started and then once I figure all that out Then I'll figure out, you know, who who do we get to bring in? Who do we get to add? Renegade biker would like to be part of corporate service. Okay. Thank you very much. See this is what I'm talking about What I will probably do When I'm ready to start soliciting new Participants is probably I'll probably put a post on social media Inviting people to shoot me like links for their channels or podcasts or whatever it is they do so that I can make a list and Then when it comes time to send out the invitations, I can go down the list and try to hit everyone Hey white Vegeta nice to see you there. Thank you very much for being here. I'm I'm out of eggnog It's okay. I got more Thank you again to Marianne for supplying the eggnog. It was very delicious Much appreciated.

I'm Obviously, I'd like to bring more creators in But I'd like to find other ways too To make the event bigger to make it more special So I'm working on that. I got some ideas got some ideas Pat Patriot needs to make a comeback come back. Yeah, well, yes needs to You know, please bring him back Comic-Trope says I was thinking of driving to Denver in 2023. How far is that from you Denver is if I recall correctly Denver is about a 10-hour drive Which is not bad It's not it it's not as far to Denver as it is from here to Augusta, Georgia So I think it was about 10 hours if I remember right and I like Denver. I like Denver I've been to Denver a couple of times. It's a It's a snappy happen in town I Photo viper is always down to converge absolutely absolutely so So here's the the tentative plan, right I will Starting at some point in January I will go through the list of Cobra Convergence participants from last year and see who wants to participate in next year Then I will start to make a list of new people to invite and This is where I will I'll branch out a little bit more. I'll try to Proactively, you know reach out to people and invite people to you know Send me their links so I can go check out their their stuff online and Put them on a list so they can actually participate um Mile high comics is mega stores in Denver. Yes, that is a place. I would really like to see mile high comics I have heard about mile high comics since I was a kid It would be really trippy to actually be there I don't know how much I would buy since I don't really collect comics now, but it would still be cool And I'd still like to do it. Oh Good night. Yo, Joe. Thanks for being here. Happy holidays, Merry Christmas. I hope you have a great time Jumbo general says when are you coming to North Carolina? That's a good question Somebody buy me a plane ticket to North Carolina. I'll be right there Um, I like to I now I have been to Denver. I have not been to North Carolina That is a state that I have not checked off yet. So So I would love to go to North Carolina that I would check off a new state. I'm trying to go to all 50. So, yes Has core convergence moved away from storylines? It depends the storyline thing was that was always kind of a voluntary thing Anyway for the for the participants and last time Timmer Timmer did that Timmer took the the the the reins on that he wrote it and You know, he did all of the organizing on the storyline Last year, we didn't do one. We could do one again. I guess if somebody feels inspired to do it But yeah, the storyline was always kind of a voluntary thing And and we just I just I don't think anybody really had the the inspiration Last year this year to do that, but it could come back Come to Pittsburgh I got a great piece of pizza joint. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I do like some good pizza And and even though even though I have been to Pennsylvania, so I would not be checking off a new state I haven't been to Pittsburgh. Yeah, I could go to Pittsburgh. I Could I could go to a Steelers game, you know and and bless you Steelers You're you're actually doing worse than my team. So thank you that I appreciate it Or look we look a little better by comparison. It's Really, I appreciate it great to marry Christmas to me But yeah, Pittsburgh Pittsburgh, I'd love to I'd love to check out Pittsburgh So yes, how are we doing we got about nine minutes left and then I will wrap up the show Sorry, I didn't have anything to open. Sorry. It was an episode of just me rambling Most of them are just episodes of me rambling But but yeah, I didn't have anything to open I did that last week all I have is the the Clark W. Griswold Puppy with the With the squirrel on his back I had that And I had I had eggnog which which I drink And that's it Bart says come check out my Joe room. It's 400 square feet of fun. That's cool Now you guys are arguing over pizza places, I'll try all of the pizza, you know, I can go to more than one I'm I Do like the pizza I Yeah, yes, Lobo Lowell one bow. I just say Lobo because that's that's how I see that name. Yes, um, I I Encouraged all of you to open up your hearts and let the Patrick Swayze Christmas in Hey Casey Wheeler. Good night all good night to Casey Wheeler. Thanks for being here And it's almost time for me to say good night to everybody. We're not quite got a few more minutes What's wrong with a video of hoodie right exactly exactly well if you're gonna tune in here you're gonna get me rambling so Just just know what to expect, you know, at least if I have something to open, you know, I've got some structure How many figures can ride in the whale? That's a good question You've got the two In the conning tower you've got the two in the turrets And then you've got you can put one in the sled. You can put one of the recon sled You can that the thing about the the the troop compartments is I think there are foot pegs for like four figures in there But they're difficult to use difficult to stand up So basically I would just cram as many figures in there as would fit, you know I just stack them up like firewood That's so I'm not sure that's it's not hard to say it depends on how many how many figures you can squeeze into that Into that compartment, but but don't forget. Oh, yeah, you could one figure on the bike It might be a little tricky to keep the figure on the bike if the bike is on the whale But I mean you take the bike off the whale you can have an extra figure on that So yeah, don't forget the the little motorcycle the little moped How come Hasbro never made an underwater themed GI Joe set That's interesting Well, when you say GI Joe set I mean they had the shark that's an underwater vehicle They had the barracuda that's a submarine didn't come with a figure though, so I guess they had I mean they had a little bit Cobra had better underwater stuff the the cobra bug the the Submarine tank or whatever they want to call it that But it was a substantial vehicle. That was a big vehicle with lots and lots of lots of features the hammerhead So, I mean there was there was a little bit Not something they focused a lot on I Thank you very much be trained Thank you for being here. Thank you very much Michael Mitchell says when I had my whale years ago, I stuffed about 20 in the true Bay. Yeah, that's what I'm saying That's what I'm saying. You can you can get a lot of them in there You know, you just just cram them in there. You can fit quite a few guys in there They did a box set for the 25th that had a few Joe divers Yes, and they yeah, they had divers They maybe didn't focus too much on underwater, but they had they had a little bit here and there But I would say that Cobra focused more on the underwater than GI Joe Chris from comic trope says there should have been a big sub for GI Joe and a C 130 I would have been really happy to have us actually I would have been happy to have a sub. Yes, but when I was a kid what I really wanted was a Toy of the USS Jane the freighter that GI Joe used on Seamissions before they got the USS flag. I really wanted that as a toy We never got it and a C 130 now. We did eventually get from true heroes you could get at toys R. S. You get a C 130 inspired plane And in GI Joe scale sort of I mean it's underscaled for GI Joe, but you can fit GI Joe vehicles in In them. Hello, Tracy. I have no idea why the chat is We let me re Load that and see okay, not sure why the chat is was like blank halfway up. That was weird Anyway Lester says hello. Sorry. He's late. Well, I'm glad you made it Lester You made it for the last Last three minutes of the show, but you still made it you didn't miss the whole thing. That's for sure Anyway, so yeah, I guess it's about time to wrap up. I am tired. I'm not gonna lie I am pretty exhausted. It's been a long day in a long week in a long month Well, it's not that long a week is only Tuesday, but a long month in a long year this year This year has felt like it has lasted at least three years January of 2022 feels like it was an eternity ago What but where we've almost made it We've almost made it. We've almost completed this revolution around the Sun believe it or not Michael says Corporate we got the heavy-lift helicopter that was featured in several issues of comic books that is true And that's that's one of the most glaring omissions as far as vehicles go Because I mean that they used a pretty can well not a hundred percent consistent model But a somewhat consistent model for that vehicle through the series So it seemed like it ought to have been a toy, but it never was But a doctor no good says Merry Christmas Merry Christmas to you And I thank you sergeant Slaughter Slaughterhouse. Merry Christmas. Happy New Year and And it is time for me to wrap up my voice is not gonna hold out much longer So I will definitely wrap up now, but thanks guys. This is the last show before Christmas We do have a show a little bit after Christmas I will I will do we will do story time We will do story time in that episode We haven't done story time in a while. It'll be fun and Yeah, I hope everybody has a great Christmas has a great holiday and I will reconvene we will reconvene Excuse me, we will reconvene next Tuesday And we'll we'll brag about what we all got for Christmas But anyway, thanks all for being here and for now. I will say good night. Good night everybody Good night everybody
