Um, hello, uh draws. Nice to see you draws Um, one of the versions of hawk looks like a clone of robo joe. Yeah, you know, and yeah, it makes you wonder Might they have intended robo joe to be like some kind of Cyborg hawk, I don't know. I I've not seen that information anywhere, but it is curious. It is curious. There is there is a similarity there um, and speaking of which as you can see With the the drawing that is directly under me. I was able to Do an actual full review um of Uh of hawk for sunday, uh Gray fox says just in classified range viper revealed. Yes. Yes. I did hear that uh, it will actually um Uh, that's one of the things I was going to talk about the haspware reveals, but you know what I'll I'll just put that out there right now Uh, range viper That is something that I have not reviewed the vintage figure yet It's one that I would like to get to um, it may that may be a cobra convergence One that may be a cobra convergence review, uh, but I haven't gone to range viper yet a fairly popular 90s figure. Um Uh, I thank you comic tropes. I I also like that version of hawk. That's a really good figure. It really is I I I think it's great. I think it's great. Um, uh, so hopefully everybody enjoyed the hawk review So the hawk review was plan b again Hello, david sharp. The hawk review was plan b. I had something completely different Planned to review for sunday and sometime on wednesday I discovered that uh one of the accessories For the figure I was going to review and had almost completely written the script for Was broken and I did not have a Replacement. I had only one and that only example Was broken. Um Hello raiment from canada. Hello canada from the united states. Uh So yeah, so I couldn't do it. It wasn't I and I I really desperately was digging through all my stuff Hoping that I had an extra one of those accessories stashed somewhere, but I did not so I shifted gears Rather than just Put it off and and and skip a week. I shifted gears I started, uh Planning a review of hawk because that was on my agenda that was already on my schedule And I was like, you know what? We're just going to change it up and we're going to do it this week And so the review this week is hawk now, um Uh Sparkster says I have a toy show on sunday. Well awesome to have fun Would you like to see if I can find the broken piece? Actually Next part of that story. I do have the piece now. I was able to find A replacement. I had to order it. Uh, and I do have it, but thank you. Thank you sparkster. I appreciate it But I do have it now though now though since I had that episode pretty much already written And since I now have all the parts that I needed I have a head start On the next review. I have a head start on the next review. So, um, uh, but thank you sparkster I appreciate it. I was able to get a replacement And so the next review is in progress. It is in progress I also know what the following review is going to be and I think it's going to be a lot of fun Yo, just says update on engine for the sky striker. I got the sky striker engines. I got those last week And and I did a preview of the sky striker last week, but it's over there. I would show you again But it's way over there. Um So, yes, so I'm I'm really working on it. I'm trying to Keep the reviews coming, but it seems like every Review that I've done this year since the start of the year has had some hitch Starting with, um, the review of stalker version two when I realized I didn't have the file card I didn't I didn't I all this time. I assumed I had the file card for stalker version two because why would I not You know, I've had the figure for years And then I get there and I start doing the review and I realize. Oh, no file card, um So So, yeah, I had like all it almost every review I've done this year I've had to Fix something In order to get it done. That's one of the reasons they keep getting delayed Is because I realized too late that something's wrong and it's not ready But but I'm still pumping them out. I'm still working on it. Uh, so anyway, I hope everybody enjoyed the the hawk review Um Seymour says he's gonna bow. Sorry, but thank you for being here Seymour Appreciated. Thank you very much for being here.

I have I have my uh I have my shirt You've seen it the shirt that has the pins and the patches on it That's this stuff is going right on it. This is this stuff is going right on it and this dog tag This dog tag that actually has My name and code name printed on it That is amazing.

So What a fantastic mail day What a fantastic mail hall between this really sweet stand for Serpentor's air chariot And the membership this is like a fantastic mail hall. That's awesome. Um Uh, Josiah said your folks are probably right 90 or probably 90 right about mail scams. Yeah. Yes, you know, you know what I mean um The number is two seven seven not seven eight eight, but um the two seven seven I believe is my actual membership number like I am member 277 Uh, so, you know, I it would it would be uh quite the coincidence if I happened to be the 788th member It would have been a cool coincidence um, but yeah, like uh, you know, you had all these mail offers that you'd see in comic books and stuff and they're like send a Money order not a check but a money order to this address and wait six to eight weeks for You know, whatever the thing is that's supposed to come in um, and uh, and Yeah, they they were dubious Because like we were a kid. I couldn't go get a money order They'd have to do that for me and they're like, uh, what's that for and then they didn't want to do that But what that meant was that I missed out on all the mail stuff Which means that I am I am experiencing it now kind of for the first time um John oh and form bx 257 knows about form bx. Yeah. Yes. Um, I don't know if anybody was asking about, um About form bx 257 our friend kevin and people have been asking about this About once a week, um, and I still haven't heard anything. Um, I still haven't heard anything from him and, um I think that it I think that it's a good It reflects well on our community that people still care about him and still are trying to check on him Even so long after he has been absent Because you know, we we do care We as a community we we have stuck together pretty well And and we have exhibited in my opinion some pretty positive Traits as a group and one of those is that we don't just forget about people if they're gone for a minute Um, and yeah, so I don't know what's what's happened with with kevin I don't know what's happened with form bx 257 But we do still very much care about him and I hope he's all right Sincerely do and I hope that he is able to someday make a comeback if he wishes to but yeah, we haven't heard from form bx 257 and um Uh, but but I hope to at some point soon. Um Firefly says he's gi Jfc number 287. Well greetings 287 Greetings from from 277 I this is fun. This is the coolest. This is the coolest. Um, so thank you everyone Um, I know that we have not a lot of time left We have not a lot of time left um He's goes by cg 257 that would be a good idea um Uh, I know there's not a lot of time left, but we we should probably talk about the the hasbro Uh announcements that they made they did make some announcements at the march 8th live stream And I would also like to add that it seems like the reason for the delay From the february 14th live stream to the march 8th Uh, did not have to do with us losing any more members of The gi jo brand team. Thank goodness Thank goodness everything seems to be okay with everyone. Hopefully it is knock on wood Um, but so yes, we have some announcement. We already talked about range viper. I won't go into range viper, but on the 8th Um, jls comics, when are we doing mad libs again? That's a good question. Um, um Chris sent like multiple mad libs to us. So I'll I'll dig up some mad libs We'll try to do that. Uh, we'll try to do that next week. We also I also want to do story time I haven't done a story time in a while. Okay, so we have um On march 8th. They they made some announcements Um of everything was related to classified here. So this was a classified Uh, a classified Centered live stream. Uh, thank you chris. Those are fun. Those are fun. We've had a really great time with those Um They did not announce anything about the comic book even though we know we know that the comic book is in process We know that larry is still working on it So Beyond that we we haven't heard anything. They didn't say anything about that They didn't say anything about anything any new o-ring things Nothing like that But they did have a few classified announcements and I thought I would run through those real quick There were a few where they just announced the names. They don't have designs. They don't have renders yet But they announced quick kick big boa And mutton junkyard So mutton junkyard will be together and by the way they also announced that they they are gonna have pricing tiers so the pricing tiers goes from Expensive at the bottom tier to Uh, not really affordable at the middle tier and then the top tier is you have to sell your car So that's that's how the pricing You know works out. So so it starts out as expensive and then it goes to you know Um, you really can just barely afford just not going to be able to To to pay one of your bills this month and then at the top tier You know, if you can donate a kidney That's probably what you will need to do in order to to afford the top tier stuff. But anyway, then Quick kick. No. Oh, thank you cobra island. Um, I got a special channel announcement if you can oh Certainly certainly and I'm sorry. I I've not watched the live chat very closely and thank you for the super chat And for your special channel announcement. So, um, what do you think? Do you think it will add boots to quick kick for classified? I You know, that's a good question Uh, I suspect they're gonna make him barefoot. But you know what you guys could do Um Hasbro design team who is definitely not watching right now. Let's be honest. They're not watching But if you guys are watching which you're not interchangeable feet give them some feet with some shoes. All right. So yeah, I know you're gonna make him barefoot. That's You know, that's gross but But but like how about the feet that can pop on have feet that can pop off and so that you can pop on Some feet with some shoes um Because otherwise, you know Cobra is going to defeat quick kick By just tossing some broken glass on the ground and he's totally done You know, he can't move. Sorry. You know, simply wearing any kind of shoe You know, he would be fine um, but no, he's he's got to to be barefoot um because Because because somebody at Hasbro in uh somewhere around 1985 had a foot fetish. Let's be real You know, look, we're not kids anymore. We know what's going on And look, it's none of my business. It's none of my business I'm just saying that in the universe cobra could defeat quick kick by just tossing like some thumb tacks or Legos Cobra could defeat quick kick with legos. They just toss them on the ground and he's like Well, I'm done. I guess I'll see you guys back at the base Cobra island my special announcement is I'm doing a battle of the sub teams between slaughters marauders and python patrol Where my viewers can vote by giving the figures a thumbs up As it goes through april and may that's cool. That's a nice idea Um as for slaughters marauders versus python patrol, you know what my preference would be My preference, of course, would be uh slaughters marauders, but I will try not to influence the vote everybody Everybody gets gets the the right to express their and Express their you know their democratic Opinions and whatnot, but thank you for that segue. I will remind everybody once again I do have a vote. I have a poll going on patreon Last I checked it was tied between two figures Tied between two figures But hopefully Hopefully you guys will will choose a winner I I have a rule that if there's a tie I will break the tie But I I I don't usually have to do that Uh, usually there is a clear winner and hopefully this time there were there will be a clear winner Because I like for you guys to decide, you know, what's what's gonna be reviewed When there's a poll like that so so uh check out patreon You know and and vote and somebody break that tie Maybe it's stunt training tough and quick kicks souls. You know what it is. Uh, gutsy. I'll tell you what it is Um, you know, they for g i joe first found quick kick out in the snow Right, uh, he he was he was working on that that fudgies commercial And and again, he got stuck there out on the snow. So I don't think it's so much training is that It's frostbite. He cannot feel his feet anymore See that's so the paint job on the figure if it's going to be barefoot should include it should it should look like It's frost bit, right? So just spray some like gnarly like black spots Where the where the he's gonna you can have a the toes just hanging off the end there like he's gonna lose a Toe to frostbite. Thank you peep show menagerie a new Classified cobra range fiber looks awesome. Yes, it does. I've only had a chance to see it briefly Because I only found about it Found out about just before we started the show. It does look good though. It does look good and Uh range fiber is one of the better figures from the 90s. It's still weird. It's still weird But um But it's it's it's still a lot better than a lot of what the 90s gave So uh range fiber that is one that I also haven't reviewed yet. I haven't reviewed yet. Um Frozen fudgies what a treat. Yes How did it make monetary sense to film a commercial in the arctic use a sound stage, you know That's a good point, but maybe consider this consider this Um quick kick was always doing those those bad impressions of Movie actors. It was really annoying. See I don't think there was a commercial out there I think they told him there was a commercial out there Uh, and they're like, uh, yeah, we're gonna go shoot this commercial out here in the middle of the frozen Uh arctic, uh, you know hit your plane. We'll be here are some frozen fudgies Well, you just wait for us there, you know, just just wait for us there. We'll be right there and they're like they just ditched him You know and that was their way of of finally freeing themselves of the really bad uh Impressions that it would do like It seems like every bad impression artist, uh Tries to do uh, john wane and just give it up Stop it. Uh, thank you the killer weezer. John mclean went barefoot top tier quick pick with boots apologies to Gung-ho again snow job and og outback got uh me to start buying classified. Yes Oh, let me run through these. I thank you the killer weezer for the super chat again. Uh, yes, john mclean John mclean went barefoot. That's right. But he also got his his feet all all chopped up Now his feet were very badly damaged Uh, you want to pay that's that would add some realism to quick kick barefoot But the bottom of his feet's all bloody This complete blood and gore slashes You can even put like a lego sticking out of the foot More realistic, I think Okay, so let me run through these. So those are the ones they announced in name only They showed some renders Some digital renders for tunnel rat Firefly this is the new version of firefly that's closer to the vintage figure Low light and shadow tracker shadow tracker not a vintage character. That was more of a modern character Um, I don't have a lot of attachment to shadow tracker. I know that some folks do some Folks love that particular figure. I just don't have any personal connection to it myself But they have shadow tracker and they announced pre-orders for copperhead bazooka with the standard deco so with the red jersey torpedo shipwreck and rock and roll A couple comments. First of all copperhead it looks like It looks like Bartz said diehard was also in the winter. It was his crescent. Yeah, it's true But it was in la. So yes, it was in the winter, but it was probably like 85 degrees the copperhead seems to be with dark gloves So the copperhead for classified is the dark gloves copperhead That's I like that. That's nice. That's not bad uh bazooka Finally with the uh, the steve grogan home jersey, you know what I would like to see It probably never happened, but you know what I would like to see I would like to see an actual License between hasbro and the new england patriots to give bazooka an actual Pat's jersey with the 14 on the back with grogan on the back I know that is probably can't happen, but hey Hasbro is in road island, right? New england the the pat's, you know the craft family might might be for it. They might go for it But I would love to see a bazooka With not just the 14 on the front, but with the the the whole thing That's what I would like to see That get on that um Torpedo is fine shipwreck is fine, but rock and roll they the I really like I really like um What they've done with rock and roll the the updates that they've done. First of all, I'm really happy to get um classified versions of 82 characters 1982 characters I think 1982 characters other than scarlet and snake eyes get overlooked a lot But we we got breaker who I have right over there and we're getting rock and roll too But the 82 jerseys Um, yeah, sure. Give them any like look who's from new york? Uh, give um Give that get that's it give alpine The the elie manning jersey that's There they can be like oil and water but besides which, you know, uh Steve grogan didn't actually play in the same era as as elie manning. So, um, also Uh, Steve grogan in his time. He was pretty good But by the mid 80s and the late 80s He uh, you know, he was you know, he was a hero in that town, but was he really good at one time? Yes Um, but he he stuck around a long long time. All right, but I'm getting sidetracked I really like the updates that they've done with rock and roll. It'd be The the 82 figures can be very plain Uh, it can be difficult to to bring uh Details out of them, but what they did with the classified rock and roll I think is the best they could do it's a bit of a reimagining of Rock and roll and it reminds me of early of early I happen to have an early classified figure like duke here where it is You know, it's reminiscent of the classic design, but updated With with, you know, just a modern twist on it. And I like that. I like that And so I that's probably the one I'm most excited about just because I like what they did with it Yes, Phil sims see they you could give alpine. I don't remember where alpine is from But we'll just say that wherever alpine is from he's a giant's fan I give him a Phil sims jersey Okay, so it is two minutes till eight o'clock by my clock Which means it is two minutes until what's on Joe mine starts. So I'm gonna wrap it up Um, I've got to go and take my kid to get some ice cream But then I'll be back and I'll try to hop on To the what's on Joe mind live show, but what's on Joe mind is next I will be working on the next review videos so that I can actually get The video done on time. I am ahead of the game. I'm ahead of the schedule this week I'm ahead of the curve. So hopefully I can keep that going But yes, thank you everybody for being here. It's been a lot of fun. It's been a lot of fun And I hope you all enjoyed it. But now um, if you want to keep the fun going Please feel free to roll over to what's on Joe mind Which will be on their own channel I think I put a link to that in the description as well. So you can check that out And uh, and uh, you to keep keep the keep the action going But thanks everyone, uh Thanks for being here. I will see you all next week and for now I will say
