Hello Tom ace Yes, comma tropes is live streaming today, too That's you know, that's okay because you're not gonna overlap too much because what I'm thinking of doing is Pulling up your live stream and live stream me watching your live stream So I'm probably gonna do that. Well, we'll we'll do it like we're it's gonna be like inception It's gonna be like through the looking glass It's probably the first time in history everybody anybody has ever done that So, hello me. Well, that didn't work Let me share this Done and then let me share it on the Twitter's on the Twitter's and I'll do more proper sharing and promoting of this stuff soon I just Got caught up in the show prep and Didn't get caught up in the show prep enough because again my show notes are not here But that's okay. I can still remember what we're doing for the first hour so yes, hello firefly and hello Yes, I sign you cast exactly exactly. Hello DC 4l. How do you do nice to see you? Thanks for being here So, yeah, we're gonna You know, this chair is reasonably comfortable, but after 12 hours, you know I think the comfort level is gonna wear off a little bit The best 90s Cobra vehicle. That's a good question. I'm hold on I'm thinking of specifically a vehicle, but I need to make sure what year it was done Oh Wow, I can't spell can I oh wow man Yeah, okay. No, I've out got it Okay. All right. Thank you. All right. Wow. See, okay. Um the first like really good Maybe favorite 90s Cobra. Oh, thank you Josiah for the super chat. Is there any possibility of rift tracks of Review I'm thinking of doing in fact Chris from comic tropes requested a Viewing a watch along of the the Deak era episode where they play football with tanks So I do have I have all the deep Episodes somewhere that like oh yes over there But like I have all the Deak episodes episodes on DVD So I thought I would pop that in and we'll do like a little we'll riff on the On GI Joe and Cobra playing football with tanks. I thought that would be fun. That was a good idea The her okay Joe Ricondo. That's the vehicle. I was about to mention Yeah, the the hurricane is the like the 90s Cobra vehicle that pops into my head when you talk about really cool 90s Cobra vehicles That's it. That is a Cobra fighter jet that Cobra really needed over the years. I mean think about it Cobra had the rattler. That's a ground attack jet Cobra had the night Raven, which I mean it had weapons But really it's based on a like a reconnaissance jet Cobra needed some fighter jets and that's what the the hurricane was so yeah, that's I really liked that one I really liked that one So I'm gonna try to not stutter like all the time I am I am aware that I stutter and I say ohm a lot and Believe me being conscious of it and trying not to do it Doesn't help. I'm really trying though. I'm really trying to do better. It's it's a bad habit But it's also a really really hard one to break. So oh, thank you comic tropes. This is very ambitious of you I hope you can also earn some money today for all the entertainment you're providing. Thank you very much I appreciate that And and thanks comic tropes for the very kind words. I I hope that it's entertaining. Oh, thank you Josiah I'm at your reviews Preferably with comic tropes. Oh, yeah, okay, so you want a riff track a riff Riff tracks on On comic tropes. Yeah, I think you know, maybe we'll do that. We'll we'll do a little MST 3k on on comic tropes Live, I think that that could be fun. I have to comment anyway, right? I can't not comment You know, it's you know, I gotta I gotta keep something going. So yeah I haven't I think what I'll probably do is like pull up his live on the on the phone And have that going and then we'll we'll talk about it We will judge we will judge very harshly. I'm just kidding. I wouldn't judge harshly. It's fairly I Will judge fairly oh Yeah, I mean riff on each other live. Yeah, we could see it see this is That it's brilliant. Isn't it? It's like It's it's all inter interweaved intertwined It that we can There are layers, you know, there are layers to this show just like they're just like ogres have layers This show has layers What was the cheapest slash most breakable vehicle? I Don't know about the most breakable I don't know if you consider the action packs to be vehicles the little wind-up toys I guess you should right Those were pretty cheap at least, you know at retail Oh The comic tropes has not learned so somebody was asking about Larry's oh, yeah, Larry's comic ending soon. So Yeah, he doesn't Apparently is not aware of anything that's happening Beyond issue number three hundred and three hundred is a great milestone. That's like a a huge milestone But there's no word I guess on who Maybe getting the license after IDW loses it So Diana Davis has said, you know, don't count anything out, right? Don't count anything out But right now they're being very tight-lipped on What's gonna happen preferably comic tropes and the eco guy review? Oh, yeah, so Um Comic tropes for those of you who don't remember comic tropes was on my review of clean sweep and Actually did a clean sweep Costume which I think was great and I'll see what like I think a little ways Sometime after that I did drawing for comic tropes of clean sweep And it was like it was supposed to be like Clean sweep, but but comic tropes as clean sweep was was my drawing.

I think uh, you could get a lot of writers designers voice actors probably even the rock um, I have thought about that but I don't know if I Would be a very good interviewer. I'll tell you what what I was thinking is Like I could get um, Emily and lemon Lenny on the show probably they've been very generous with their time They've been on other people's show if I asked them to do an interview You know the current gi joe brand team if I asked them to do an interview they they might do it but Like the questions I have to ask them are probably all the questions that they cannot answer Like what I want to know is How like how did your plans change? After the snake eyes movie didn't do as well you know when At the box office. I mean the plans had to change, right? So how did the plans have to change? They probably can't talk about that probably don't want to talk about a movie not doing well, you know that's You know their their bosses probably wouldn't be thrilled about that kind of chatter I'd like to know like uh how much investment like what's the cost per unit for the For the has lab his tank because there have been a lot of uh Complaints about the price tag on that I have my suspicions on how how much that actually costs Um, but they they can't talk about that. That's like corporate financial information. They can't talk about that So like all the questions I would like to ask are questions that they probably can't answer so um So maybe it's just not better to to ask them to come on the show you know, I If if they came on they all they'd have to all they could do is say like no comments, you know But anyway So yeah I've thought about it, but I don't know I don't know that I'm A great interviewer. I there are some other folks doing this who are really good at interviewing But I'm not sure. I'm not. I'm not sure that I would do a great job at it Um, let's see the game was fair and they went to classic style figures and love them now Um, does anybody know if the lady j amazon series is still alive? I have not heard anything about that like there was like the leaked sort of like rumors about it sometime back But I have heard absolutely zero about that since so I have to assume not But who knows who knows? um, anyway Yeah interviews Like I'd like to do it, but I don't know if that I would be good at it like Comic tropes did an interview with larry hamma and got him talking about lots of things That was great. That was That was a really good interview. I don't know that I could have done that. I don't know What I worry is like instead of interviewing. I would I would cross examine the person And that's not comfortable you know Comic tropes says you're a great public speaker, so I think you could do it But only if you'd enjoy it. Well, thank you. I appreciate that I've never thought of myself as a great public speaker But I I have actually done quite a bit of public speaking Uh, which is strange for somebody who you know has always been terrified of public speaking But that is one thing that The practice of law can kind of like shake out of you because there are times when you have to stand up and you have to Say things it's important. You have to do it. So I've I've gotten a little more used to public speaking Um, it would probably be better if I stuttered less And did fewer uhs and ums Working on it trying trying. Um, oh wait. Um, then again says answer to my question Uh, three. What is your question? What is your friend? Yes answer my questions three What is your favorite color? um Hello bronze age nerd. I think I I already said hello bronze age nerd, but hello again. Hello again How much of yo-yo dune, uh, did you get a lot of in uh slash enjoy them? Um Some of you That is something that actually I do want to talk about more at length because I have some pictures Uh from the haz lab and I wanted to talk about some of the figure announcements and kind of discuss them because Like I said, like the full forest The artist shark those guys really keep up on the news. I do not keep on the up on the news Uh quite as much But uh, I did want to talk about it I did I did back the haz lab his tank. I think that was a pretty easy call for me because I really Really like it um But like there are some fair criticisms that I would like to mention um Not criticisms that would make me not want to back it because It looks really good and I want it, but Yeah, I I've got a few things to say about it, but I have some photos. I have some pictures that I'm going to show you probably in the next hour and We'll discuss and we'll also discuss some of the the um stretch Tears as the the stretch goals Um the stretch goals have been kind of underwhelming With with I think one exception, but we'll get to that. We'll get to that. There's like one thing in the in the stretch goals that That i'm actually looking forward to We'll we will talk about that we will talk about it. We will get to it. In fact, I have pictures I have pictures. I will show you pictures So we'll we'll do that within the next hour. We are Almost one hour in almost one hour in Uh, Dale says he could do the same style of Michael Marcy. He talked to voice actors and writers for gio. Yeah, and that's that's great like Those guys who are doing that and like actually talking to Um the creators and the people behind who were behind the scenes. I think that's really awesome And we need that right for posterity for historical purposes. We need those conversations We need those those recorded um, I just um I don't know. I don't have a lot of confidence in my interviewing ability I I really worry that i'm just gonna go right into cross examination and uh That's one way to keep somebody from ever coming back Toy bounty hunter says, uh, happy fourth of july happy fourth of july to you as well There has been a round table with emily and lenny about the process of the haves has live his Haven't gotten to watch it yet, but uh others have tweeted it. Uh, that is pretty good. Yes, um The uh the full force also covered that toy connections. Hello toy connections another cobra convergence person. How do you do? um I don't have a day off up here in canada But wanted to pop in and say hello, uh, stay well htc and hope cc6 is going well It is going well. Thank you toy connections. Looking forward to your Cobra convergence entry. Um, happy monday to canada Um, hello. Hey, it's jenna. Hello jenna. How do you do? Thank you for being here really happy to have you here Hey, davie. How do you do? Um, thank you very much for joining Um as for intervening can always bring on a co-host to help hammer out the interview process that that might be the way to do it like Like somebody to play good cop I can I can be the bad cop and the good cop can kind of like keep me in check like like hold hold me back hold me back That that that might help that might help ah So, um, I still don't have my agenda, right? I I wrote down an agenda, but I haven't gotten up yet. So Um, when I the first time I get up, I will go grab my agenda. So I'll have some idea of what I'm supposed to be doing for these 12 hours Um, but uh, who we got who we got? Hello rogers aquarium. How do you do mega high back? How do you do? Hey, it's gls comics another cobra convergence contributor. How do you do? We've got lots of the cc6 gang in here. Nice to see you Um photo vipers says if all six figures if six figures get in lock, that's a hundred dollar 120 dollar value six different colors don't make a lot of sense though red blue and purple work well though Okay. Yeah, that's another thing I'd like to talk about For the early bird special um We will get to vote On which color scheme we want for the his tactician And the color schemes are based on the color studies that were done by ron rudat When he was originally designing the his driver So I mean the fact like I've said before I'm thrilled That they brought ron rudat uh in to work on uh The has lab hiss the his driver Uh the classified series. I'm thrilled thrilled That he's uh that they did that that they brought him in Ron rudat is Uh a big part Of why gi joe Was so popular at that time and why we still remember that series So I did I I met ron rudat again At joe fest got a picture with him got some of his uh, uh, his artwork Got some stuff signed He's just a really nice guy. He's he's such a sweet person and Bringing him in Bringing him back to gi joe. I think is a really great move and honestly I might have backed it just for that if that Just for the fact that I Want to support ron rudat I I would probably would have been in Just for that reason So i'm more than thrilled more than thrilled about that So Uh big gay dave says I expected extra figures for each considering they are getting almost uh five million If all stretch goals are met. Yeah, that is uh, I don't want to jump the gun here But that is also something I wanted to comment on um in There is an extra figure coming in The most recent tier and that is probably I think that may be the the only thing i'm really thrilled about in any of the stretch goals But we'll talk about it. I don't want to jump the gun. Look, I gotta I gotta feel 12 hours here I gotta feel okay. I gotta slow down. I gotta slow down. I can't go through all of it now We'll we'll get to like Hour two and I'll be like I'm out. I got nothing left to talk about. How's the weather there? It's really hot here Yeah, exactly photo viper. He's he's he is a legend. Um, and just a really really nice guy Oh, thank you, uh, dave e met ron at joe fest as well and he is super nice Yes, see and thank you for the super chat dave, uh, and thanks for Thanks for stopping by at joe fest and yeah, um Ron's Ron's wife, uh, is usually there with him and he she's the one who took the pictures For me And she's just she's great. I mean the the whole family is great. His son tristan seems like a really cool guy um, I just I just I just love the whole the whole gang and Um, I'm I'm really happy to see him getting some recognition by hasbro today Uh, you know, I know hasbro is a big corporation and you know, they Their bottom line has to be making money That's just the reality of business, but You know, I still think you got to remember your past I think you got to remember history and I think you need to respect The people who got you there and ron rodat is somebody who helped get them there So yeah, they they need to they need to acknowledge him and they are doing that and I'm I couldn't be happier really really Uh photo wiper says anybody's on a cardboard backdrop as the final stretch. That is like I was joking around about that but that may be it That that may actually be it I will I mean, I'll talk about it more later, but I have not The the the stretch goals have not been blowing my skirt up, but that's okay. I still want to get the actual tank Uh, mr grudge says hi from uk Uh, great. Hello, mr grudge. Hello, uk from the united states. Thank you for being here.

I hope I hope you like them um Some of my older ones I feel like I I could have done better that which is why I'm trying to redo a few of them that are like really really old um but uh I don't know. I I don't watch my own stuff very often. Um, I have a hard time watching my own stuff because Like all I ever see is the mistakes I watch my own stuff and all I can see Is every little mistake that I made throughout the whole thing Is I I can't see anything else And that's a problem. That's not a good way to look at things. It's not a good way to look at yourself Uh, but it's something that I struggle with right so I have for that reason. I have a hard time Um watching my own stuff um But um, but but thank you. Thank you. I'm glad and I hope I hope you enjoy some of it. Why is this? Why is this? Oh, okay, I see There we go. I think I fixed it Sorry, yeah, um Uh, Cornelius, HCC, uh, you know, your best and funniest reviews are the figures that you don't like. Yeah, I see that's something that I I actually do have fun. Uh The weapon axe says hell is joke on uh, joe fest, uh, what you're referring to was a lot of fun Well, a lot of fun really enjoyed reconnecting with people. It was great. Um, and yeah The thing about like reviewing toys that I don't like Is that even the toys I don't like are still often not too bad, right and It I do have fun doing them. I uh, I may not like the toy, but I often like doing the review It can be even more fun doing it that way so, um Gijo needs more brazil. Yeah. Yeah, we haven't done brazil for a while. We have it. Uh, we had we had a special mission in brazil We got a cassette tape out of it. We got a cassette tape. What do you want? more brazil Uh, but yeah, that's it's very a very specific special mission in brazil. We had one So, um, yeah, uh, let's see. What time is it? It is oh it is it is 105 Um, let's we are in the second hour Uh, hello gm sim 9 w happy birthday. Yes Thank you I am I apologize if I struggle with any of your screen names, but hello. I'm still happy to have you here. Thank you. Thank you um Uh, let's see a cobra eel snow serpents would be fast, uh, uh, um fantastic and classified I agree the eels. That's one of my favorite army builders Uh, looking forward to a second version of wild bill to review as only uh recently got that figure Yeah, the second version of wild bill that is one that I need to get to um it's Like these 90s release of second versions of figures that were vehicle drivers, but We're not vehicle drivers the second time around. That's that's uh Um It's an interesting choice and we need to explore that we do we do um See photo vipers says uh mistakes happen called repeater and marine on a review I just made a correction in the pin comments and let it write see that's yeah That's what you got to do and that's how you should do it. You you make a mistake Yeah, you you own it You correct it as much as you can and you move on It's that moving on thing that I have such a hard time with it's Like I I will deal with it in therapy, but I I recognize this is an issue But I do I do have a hard time watching my old stuff. I really do Um, even even like stuff that I really enjoyed doing I really had fun doing it If there's some mistake in there I just like Uh, but Let's not talk about that right now. Let's talk about The has lab his tank because that is our topic in the second hour of the show Jenna says just watch the latest from gi joeberg the renegades the complete saga yesterday That was pretty awesome show that they put together. Yes This is what I'm saying gi joeberg does some amazing things that you don't want to miss these guys are are really cool So and yes, they did post that. Um, yeah, it was yesterday that they posted it. I did share it Uh, so go check out their whole Uh renegades saga in one video Um, let's talk. Let's turn our attention now to the topic of the hour um Because I haven't talked a lot about the has lab his tank. I don't think I've been live I did talk about it Um on somebody else's show, but I haven't really talked about it on my show uh, so Let's talk about that a little bit um It's a has lab project It is a classified scale his tank. So it's a his tank scaled for six inch action figures Um, it's it's expensive. It's 300 bucks And there have been a lot of folks complaining about the price which I understand. I understand I do um But for me I felt that it was about right for what we're getting now If all they had done was scale up the vintage his tank I don't think I could justify it for 300 bucks, but they did more than that It has electronics. It has lights. It has this Really cool like cobra spotlight thing Um, oh, thank you the fire fly attractor happy fourth of july vote cobra blue Hope everybody gets through it with all 20 intact cobra. Yeah, uh, thank you the fly attractor I am in oklahoma. A lot of people will not get through today with all their fingers. That's just Uh, oklahoma Look, we're not the smartest. Okay My state does not rank super high on like the national education lists Okay, so one of the reasons we can't count to 10 because we don't have all our fingers You know, that's that's the problem But um But yeah, it's uh, it's it's a hefty price and I and I get that but One of the things that sold me on it that um is that they used The back compartment which would otherwise be just um Just wasted space They turned that into Like a storage unit with a seat and like a weapons rack and they actually used that space Which I think is fantastic We have working treads a couple people have have said that they really wanted it to be motorized And since you have actual working treads, you know, it's conceivable that you could do a motorized version But uh, yes lift ticket ticket is also from oklahoma. Somebody count his Fingers so many count lift takes its fingers. I don't think there's 10 of them The uh In fact, why don't I do let's pull this up. Let's pull this up. I do have pictures Let me see if I can get them. Hold on Bear with me more for one second here Let's find the yeah. Well, here's here's the basic picture of the Uh hiss itself Uh hasbro Did send me some Like a link to some images, but the links that they sent me did not include any of the stretch goal images only like the initial um So there there's that bad boy Let me see Um and There we go. Uh, and it it is quite large. It's it's hefty But like this, um That that back area behind the gun That is not Empty space now that they they've utilized that space Uh, the treads are not just plastic treads anymore um, uh Matt says would you have preferred the weapons rack or a computer station in the back of the haz lab? I'm okay with the the weapons rack because it gives it makes it It can be like a An infantry support vehicle or an infantry transport vehicle Although it only has one seat in the back, but you know, you can have a couple troops on Uh, the back platform and everything. So, um, it gives you something for for your infantry So I think I'm fine with the with the weapons rack. Uh, although the alternatives also would have been Uh, uh, would have been okay, too. My main thing is they they utilize that space They did not just give us a hollow empty shell uh, it has An updated canopy with gullwing doors now the gullwing doors are cool and all but You're not going to fit a figure through there. That won't work But you could look at the gullwing doors as like, um Ventilation or something like that. It's uh, and it just looks cool. I mean, it just looks cool um, you have independent, um Cannons that you know, you can um Have them at different elevations. Uh, it does have a working 360 degree Uh, cannon turret It has like I said the the real Um, the real treads not just plastic treads not fake treads And some people have said they really wanted it to be motorized and since you have the real treads You could potentially Have a motor in there. So it actually runs Um, and while I do understand that and I appreciate that and that's a totally fair point I would never use a motorized feature So I don't need it to be motorized. That's not There we go. That's not something that I need um so Yeah, uh, so it's it's got it's got a lot of stuff. It's got stuff on on the interior It's got stuff in the cockpit. Let me see if I can get some more pictures Uh Like here's the cockpit Like there's the cockpit and the cockpit has like a five point, uh, harness Uh, it's got like a control stick and uh and like light up panels and stuff So there are a lot of electronics a lot of lights in it. It's got headlights got fog lights. It's got interior lights it's got that that like the the the cobra emblem that that Shines on the the ground that was That was nice. It's a nice touch. It's a really nice touch So it's it's an excellent display piece and that's what it would be for me is is a display piece Um, so advanced you can have it insured through Geico. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Uh, hey the killer weasor Thank you for being here and hello beta ray bob. Nice to see you a couple of people snuck in and I didn't say hi Hello to everybody who snuck in and I didn't say hi happy fourth to you too Um So it's it's got some stuff is what i'm saying. It's got some stuff. Um, let me see what else we got Uh, let's see what other photos I have Um, yeah, it also includes the hiss driver So for the early bird special you're gonna get, um For for starters, you're gonna get two figures. You're gonna get the standard hiss driver and then you're gonna get a hiss tactician and his tactician Will be the same mold but different colors and the color options are from the color studies that Ron Rudolph did when he was dry Designing the hiss driver. He would have been designing the hiss driver in 1982 for the 1983 series And the color studies have been printed in Dan clean and smith's book creating gi joe. I thought I had that specific Book that that specific volume, but I don't I need to get that Uh, fen rear fire. How do you do? Uh, thank you for being here. Nice to see you Uh, so I I've always liked the hiss driver You know ever since 83. I've always loved his driver. I just think that the red makes him look really cool I don't know that he needs the I mean, he's got a holster for the pistol. I don't know that he needs the Uh, the submachine gun whatever that is But he those hiss has a weapons rack so you can just stick it back there. So No worries. No worries um, let me get the um Let me get the color options get the early bird Uh, I think it was like if the If the project was funded within the first Uh eight days, I think it was they were going to do the early bird special Um, and it was funded like within the first What eight hours? So so the early bird special is is in so these are the options Um that for the hiss tactician, I'm gonna I'm gonna take this off. There we go. Wow. That was squeezing my brain um, that These are the color studies that Ron Rudat did for the hiss driver before They he's he's settled on the red version that we have now So When when he was designing a figure, you know, he would do the uniform he would do like a line drawing And then he would do several color options He'd like color over a copy of the line drawing of the character With some different color choices just so he you know, he could narrow it down and Decide on what the final color choice is going to be These are some of those earlier choices And um A lot of people would like to see the blue one, uh because it's kind of reminiscent of rip it Which is I think a really silly codename rip it uh My preference would be the one in the top center here, which is It's kind of like reverse of the standard hiss driver. It's got black Uh with red highlights rather than the other way around. I just think that looks Good, it would keep with the the red and black theme But for some folks that maybe just too much red and black There is the purple one down in the bottom corner That has a color scheme very very similar To a techno viper and the techno viper looks pretty good that that purple and silver on the techno viper Looks pretty good. However I would like to see the purple and silver on an eventual classified techno viper You know what I mean? I want to see that on a techno viper Not on a bonus figure like this. That's just my preference I don't know how you feel about this guys, but my preference Goes toward the The top center Ryan says the only thing That I don't like is the seat belt. Yeah, everyone knows cobra commander doesn't care about safety Unless the seat belt is kept Is to keep them In the tank as it burns. That's a good point. Yeah, um The safety is not job one with cobra. It's it's not their top priority In fact, it seems to not be any priority um So yeah, I mean, I here's what I think I think the seat belt is to keep them from from Retreating the seat belt is to keep them from bailing out Because like first of all the driver is not behind any Armor right even with the the new canopy There's no armor there. So he's completely exposed behind glass And he's going into battle. So those guys are going to chicken out and the seat belt is to keep them in That that's what the seat belt is for not for safety. It's for the reverse of safety. That's that's my theory uh, the bottom black and silver with the uh silver leg armor looks Like snake eyes undercover. Um, yeah, so That one is is kind of cool. It sort of looks like a uh a photo negative Um, but like all of these are are cool. I mean, I there are I don't think there are any of them that I dislike And honestly no matter which one we get I'll I'll be pretty happy with it. I'll mostly be happy because Uh, this is coming from from ron from ron rudat. So Uh So like I'm not complaining. This is a bonus figure and A bonus figure is a bonus figure. So that's that's fine um But if I if I could if I could have the one I wanted I would want the the red and black one. I just think that looks like Like like an alternate uniform for the his driver. That's just it's just my opinion But I could see somebody though wanting a bit more color And so the blue one I I know a lot of people have said that they like the blue one. So I think that might be the second choice Cobra prioritizes making cold slither slither CDs over safety. Exactly. Correct Uh shame. There can't be a gi jo has lab. Uh, toy line There could be the thing is this hiss has done so well that Um, I don't know. I hope I don't I hope this isn't a controversial statement, but I believe hasbro likes money And they're gonna make some money off of this and since they're making some money off of this We will see more um I think the next logical choice Um, yeah, uh Finrifier likes the blue one. Oh, yeah, a lot of people agree with you. A lot of people agree with you Um, I think the next logical choice would be a vamp Um, the vamp would be a little smaller than the his tank. So in theory also a little cheaper than the his tank So I but probably too large to release at retail like a retail classified vamp would be Uh, probably too expensive for a lot of people to to pick up at a target or walmart or something So probably a has lab project. I think a lot of people like to see a vamp So I I don't I don't know what they're gonna do But to me that seems like the logical next step And since this one has been so wildly successful We should see more and this is what i'm saying like a lot of people, you know, don't like The new gi joe. They don't like classified. They don't like to know new o-rings. They want to see something different Well, what i'm saying is If you don't if there's anything out here that that you don't fancy you don't fancy it You should not buy it and you should never feel pressured to buy it You should not have to spend a single nickel That you don't want to spend and nobody should pressure you or shame you into doing it however I think it's smart to still hope that those um, those products do well and sell well Because the more gi joe is selling and the better Any gi joe thing does The more we will get and the more different kinds of things we will get You remember when they released the retro series and it wasn't really retro It was like 25th anniversary figures just done up a little different and with some different packaging. Well A lot of people are saying no, I want o-ring like i'm an o-ring gi joe guy and I want some o-rings. Well We got o-rings now, right? So that's what i'm saying success feeds on itself So there have been some joe stuff that have come out that I haven't been interested in at all And and I don't spend money on stuff that I'm not interested in and you shouldn't have to either You shouldn't have to either But I still want those things to do well I I want them to do well because if they do well then hasbro is going to do more And they will do a greater variety of things And within that greater variety There will be more things that I might like and that you might like so Yeah, I'm I I'm hoping that That all gi joe does well Whether I personally like it or not now I will say about the classified series I Was not expecting to like the classified series. I've never been into six six inch action figures I I've picked up some classified figures really just to be supportive But then when I actually got them in hand I ended up liking them A lot Like I liked them a lot lot. I like I was surprised at how much I liked them And then I ended up continuing to get them and buy them and be pretty happy with them Like everything else it's hit and miss like there are some that are way better than others And I've tried to point those out when I find them But um, you know, I I'm allow myself to change my mind I I'm persuadable You know, I I'm not so rigid that I won't reconsider But the classified series that is one that got me because I really was not expecting to like it Um, and then and then I ended up liking it a lot more than than I thought I would let's look at some of the the tiers because Uh, the stretch goals stretch goal number one Well, do I not have Number I don't have the third one. Sorry. I don't have an image for the third one. But we'll get to that the first unlock Where these side mounted rocket launchers? And those are nice, but I don't need those They're not vital You know, it's an it's an extra Add-on and that's okay I will probably honestly display my his tank As it, you know, with its basic features. I this is not something I need It's nice. It's it'll be nice to get it. It'll be nice to get it. But this is not something that I need Hello, uh, channel in parks. I don't think I said hello to how do you do? How do you? Uh, thanks for being here Yeah, uh, I did start relatively early in the day. I felt like I had to it's 12 hours So if I start at noon Then I end at midnight And I don't know if I will survive much after midnight At midnight, I will shut this down and I will go and I will die I'll just fall over dead now. I'll be okay. I'll I'll get better You know, I'll be better by morning, but at least for the night. I'm just gonna fall over dead um Hello, Ivan Hello, Ivan. How do you do? so this is Unlock number one. It's an these extra uh Missile launchers rocket launchers, whatever they're calling them that mount onto the side of the his tank and It's nice, but I don't care It's it'll be nice to have them, but it's just an extra bit um Yeah See matt says hazard star wars and marvel and transformers that they focus on all the new gi joe items are great Uh, they've pretty much dunked power rangers though. Uh, there has been no new Uh, no new news for a bit. Sorry power rangers fans. Sorry power rangers fans But yeah, I remember not that long ago When There was no gi joe at retail And there was no planned gi joe at retail Um, I I thank you Ivan if nominated for president, I will accept the nomination um Yeah, so Um What was I saying? Yeah, the uh Not long ago. There was no gi joe of any kind Right and we're actually getting stuff now The gi joe was essentially dead for years And not only are we getting stuff we're getting a lot of stuff and one Consequence of getting a lot of stuff is you're probably not gonna like all of it Is they are trying to reach multiple different audiences with it and so inevitably Some stuff you're not gonna care for it's not gonna be for you and some of this stuff is not for me But some of it is And I'm pretty happy. I'm pretty thrilled about it. I honestly really truly am um Let me see what else we got apparently I did not grab an image for the unlock number three I can't believe I did that but here's unlock number two and that is the You've got some side Armor panels and you've got a clear canopy So if you want to display your his tank A bit more closer to the vintage with the clear canopy you can pop this canopy on Again, it's nice, but I kind of like the new canopy and so I probably won't use this So this is another unlock that It's nice, but I don't care and What I obviously failed to do is get some images of the third Um The third unlock which Um Excuse me It's some weapons and some guns, but the most important thing is it's a his tank gunner And it's a female hit a female cobra figure Oh, hello. Hi Hi, Diana Davis. Nice to see you. Thank you for being here and thank you for all you do for gi joe It is appreciated. It truly is later in the show Now where is it? I'm gonna do I'm gonna do a dramatic reading Of of the third issue of this it's gonna be I'm gonna do all the voices myself A dramatic reading of gi joe saturday morning adventures Issue number three. Thank you again to chris from comic tropes for for sending this to me very kind Thank you much appreciated Yeah, so Superman So, yeah, this this is like none of the stretch goals really are turning me on but Getting another figure getting a very very rare female cobra troop builder That almost never happens I'm for that That is the one thing in these unlocks that I'm actually thrilled about give me more figures. That's cool That I you I'll take all those I'll take all of those So that of all of the unlocks that is the one thing at least for me That truly adds value and that I would actually use Now one thing I wanted to mention is this his tank has a tow hitch It would be super awesome to get a towable weapon and if they did the SMS the the missile system They could recolor it For a gi joe release they could recolor it in joe colors But that it seems to be like that's just it's too large an extra piece for one of the stretch goals It doesn't look like they're gonna do that But I would have taken that over all the rest of this stuff I'd all the rest of it Like you could keep it. Well, okay. I do want the the his gunner. I'll take the his gunner And I'll take all the figures. Give me all the figures. Give me all the figures But I mean you could keep the missile launcher and all that jazz I just would really love to have something to put on that on that tow hitch Hopefully since it has a tow hitch Somewhere down the road. We will get something to hitch on to it. But But yeah, so that that is your Has lab his tank. Um, and I think those are all of the uh pictures that I Actually grabbed that are useful. Yeah, I totally I thought I thought I got the Third unlock, but I I sure didn't get a picture of it. I thought I did Um, but here is just for reference Here is that uh Cobra spotlight I All right, because like okay guys for me I'm looking at display value And this adds to the display value. I mean you can like Light it up and and shine a cobra emblem like the bat signal um On uh on on your display shelf. That's that's cool. Uh, thank you raman.

It's a and thank you for being here. Um Uh, yeah, so, uh, yeah, we've got uh, we've got a little bit a mini list here I don't think this is a complete list, but uh, yes copperhead was announced Uh copperhead was announced And torpedo was announced Uh, yes, there's going to be a standard Uh issue standard color deco outback Uh falcon A slaughter's marauders barbecue Cover girl which was mentioned There's going to be a crimson bat There's going to be a sergeant slaughter. I think everybody is aware of the sergeant slaughter I am extremely super looking forward to the sergeant slaughter um In the fact like you're getting a sergeant slaughter and you're getting a barbecue in sergeant slaughter deco So the slaughter's marauders fans out there Are going to be hopefully be able to Build a slaughter's marauders classified set and I know There are some big slaughter's marauders fans out there that are just going to be Melting down over that that's that's a big one I am not a huge sergeant slaughter or a large marauders fan So it's not that big a deal to me, but I know it's a big deal to some fans um Yojo says happy fourth, uh, united states from, uh, texas Texas texas us. I'm sorry. There was an explanation Exclamation point there that I almost misread. Hello, texas from the united states. Nice to see you. Thank you. Yo, joe um Yes, they have the spirit mold so they have another, uh, marauder that they could redeco in slaughter's marauders colors They're a see the that's kind of the list I have right now. I know there were others Scrap iron. I know scrap iron is a figure that was very briefly announced And that was Fortuitous because I just reviewed scrap iron Um We have some o-ring figures. There's an o-ring duke and cobra commander Uh, I am interested in those. I would really like to nail those down I would like to see What they did with the cobra commander mold Because my understanding is that the the old cobra commander mold was lost um Diana says look, we're getting a slaughter falcon tunnel rat. We're already we've already got duke and Mindbenders on the way time to re-enact scenes from the movie. See there you go see You 1987 movies fans It's your dream come true You got the 35th anniversary fathom events release In movie theaters, which I did go see in in august of georgia.

Thank you very much Um, I was trying to get through my list, but you guys have gotten through my list faster than I did Excuse me, I've gotta I've gotta be careful about my voice. We're in hour two. We only have like Ten hours to go. Uh, what are your thoughts on classified shipwreck design? Would you prefer more classic or updated? They seem to be doing the classic designs now. They're really sticking very closely with Uh, the vintage like version one designs and I think that's fine Um, especially for shipwreck because that is such a classic Look for him and uh had a lot of appearances in the animated series. So a lot of people are going to want that Uh, that classic shipwreck look, but Shipwreck is a figure that could be heavily updated. Hopefully in the future Uh, there were later versions of shipwreck. Uh, even in the vintage era, there was a later version of shipwreck So Uh, if since they're doing torpedo, they could potentially look at doing like a Like a uh, uh battle core navy seals, uh shipwreck Using some torpedo parts. Hello cobra island Another cobra convergence guy Oh who has today Today is his cobra convergence entry. So make sure you check out that earlier. I did show you the entire calendar. So Make sure you check everybody on the calendar and thank you to everyone who participated this year I'm super thrilled about it. So thank you uh Jerry says wouldn't mind the early 2000s look he had. So yeah, this is what I'm saying. There there are some other options for Shipwreck for the future. I think they will probably do like the version one Shipwreck for at least for this first time out Yeah stinky diver. Yeah, they need a stinky diver Shipwreck. Let's let's make that happen Make the stinky diver shipwreck happen. In fact, I'm gonna start a an online campaign. I'm gonna Um, I'm gonna do a petition.

I just wanted to say thanks So i'm gonna do i'm gonna do a techno viper So i've got the techno viper here figure here for reference So I I draw I keep it at the fun level I keep it at the fun level um But I've been thinking lately like Am I ready to maybe take it up a notch uh and to add some more lighting and and shadow effects to my drawings I don't really do that and I don't think that's necessarily a good idea For something that's going to be a thumbnail image for a video because a lot of that detail is lost Right because like when you're when you see the thumbnail Uh when you see the thumbnail on your computer or on your your tv screen or on your your phone device It's much smaller. Usually it's usually much smaller So like a lot of like the fine details you're not going to see anyway So when drawing for that purpose it doesn't really make a lot of sense to do like lighting and shadow effects But But I feel like I'm I want to I want to get a little bit deeper and I feel like I want to do a little bit more With the artwork. Uh, so I'm I may I may try to I may try to do that. I I haven't done that in so long. I would need to Kind of relearn some of the techniques but I think I think I'm about ready to and that's that's not an easy thing for me to say because Um, I really do want to keep enjoying the art and keep having fun doing it and I don't want to Make it so much work that I'm not enjoying Um, and I've said before like if if I were doing a professional art job like that I'm getting paid for Like for for like a an illustration for a book or a comic book or Uh packaging like some of these really talented artists do I would have a totally different approach to it, right? I would be trying to please that art director, you know And to hit that deadline Right now. I don't have to do that. I can I can do it, uh Just purely for for anyone out there who wants a piece and for myself just to have fun So I don't have to worry about deadlines or any of that. Um I can I can just I can just enjoy myself But you know, I am I am capable though of of doing some of that more detailed and professional work, you know, I I have done in the past So, you know, it's something I've I've thought about I've thought about but for today we're going to do A techno viper in in my style Uh for the purpose of a thumbnail and for that dude who wanted a techno viper So let's let's see what you and since I'm not doing the two camera setup I will I will stop and I'll I'll show you my progress from time to time. Sorry about that Um, but the the two camera setup is not that great. Anyway, the the other camera I have is Really old and kind of crap So to do the two camera setup, I really just got to get us a better camera That that's what it comes down to. I mean this camera not that great Um, but the other camera is even worse So, yeah Most artists I know um start out with day jobs and eventually transition to full-time artwork. Yeah, that's that's the way to do it And it is not easy to make a living doing art. So for to those who have You know, I I uh have a great respect and admiration. That's that's a pretty hard hustle Then if you can actually make a career out of that that is significant So hats off hats off To anyone who has actually managed to do that. So let's um Let's let's figure this out here. Let's do a techno viper and I'm just going to do like, um uh like From the belt up because I want to kind of get More of the details in the thumbnail and When I do them like the full body, you know far away shot I feel like I have to skimp on some of those details and I'd like to get some more of them in because the techno viper The 87 techno viper has a lot of really interesting Bits and bobs on Uh, so let's let's see what we can do. Let's first of all, let's um Let's kind of lay it out here. So we've got a head. It's got kind of a Big helmet. It's probably a little too big there. Let's do that All right Once I get Let's get it laid out. It'll it'll like come together But I gotta figure out where it's gonna be on the page How this is all gonna work out And we're gonna I'm gonna have him holding one of the tools which tool The claw tool So let's do that Uh, this is mainly for reference on the details Uh That's great. That is great, uh Uh jaymel in parts that is awesome Like if you can do that You you have accomplished something I am like I'm not a professional artist, but I am somewhat aware of of the challenge of working in that field And like I really do have an aberration for people who are actually able to do it That that is I'm that's very genuine Uh, and that's one of the reasons why I wanted to go to the uh, Robert Atkins panel at joe fest Uh, because that's someone who has has been able to do it And I am having a heck of a time getting this piece off of the backpack. There we go Why it has to be so difficult? All right, so I'm gonna have that in this hand If I can get it in the hand without stretching some so it's gonna stretch the thumbs even a little bit I'm not gonna put it in the hand. No, I'm not gonna put in the hand So I'm I'm trying not to break my action figures. Thank you um So, okay, so here's him. I'm gonna put him on like there's a There's the guy Um And oh and oh by the way Some of you guys are having a barbecue. This is my barbecue right here This this is my barber. This is closest. I'm getting to a barbecue um, so let's Let's uh, let's finish kind of hammering this out I'll have him like Do using his oversized welding tool or whatever Uh kind of that way uh-huh I just want to dummy out like Where this is gonna fit on the page right now. I'm not Worrying at all about The specifics just I want this generally to fit on the page in a certain way And I I know that I'm going to like crop this differently when I digitally ink it and color it but I still kind of Like to position it on the page Not exactly where it's going to be but kind of like so So like the the figure will be here and then like in the thumbnail There'll be like text and stuff over here. Obviously, there's not going to be text on the pencil artwork but um But I'm just trying to imagine where it's going to be And this is why doing like thumbnail um Images for videos is different From doing just doing a standalone sketch It serves a different purpose so I kind of End up doing it differently Then I would do just a regular sketch And like especially if I'm doing A thumbnail for a vehicle like you'll the for in thumbnails nails for vehicles, especially vehicles that include drivers the the The driver the figure It tends to be over scaled In in the thumbnail drawing so that you can see it better Uh, see all right, so I don't want to cover up his See I've already I'm already having the correct stuff because I don't want to cover up that cobra sigil on his chest So I want him holding the tool right about there So there is Is so that's in that hands oversize, but that's okay No problem can fix uh, let's see, um Byron says they call lays walkers over here. They seem the same otherwise. So yes, I actually am aware of that. Um Uh, that is something that I noticed when I was in the uk last Well, jeez. What's it been like eight years ago crap? It's been a while But when I was there, yeah, I didn't notice you guys called them walkers But I do think they're basically the same you may have some flavors that we don't have But like the basic The this is same idea Your your crisps I should say um Who is uh drawing him using his rod exactly exactly The there this is this is his tool. It's the tool, you know I sure do like drawing tools Let's see man. It's it's it's actually been like eight years Since I was in in the uk Eight years since I've visited my friends there I've I've I need to do something about that I I need to get back there. I need to get back there. That's uh, I I know people there I miss people that I know they're I cannot believe it's been that long. That's crazy So that's going to be sort of like that and that that'll it'll still kind of cover cover up the cobra on the chest, but that's okay I can live with that. So there's going to be a little hose there Let me hammer out the proportions a little better. That means his head's going to need to be a little bit larger Uh, let's see. Okay It's like his uh Head needs to come up. I'll I'll I'll clean this up in a minute. I'm just trying to Trying to work at work it out. I'm working it out right now. I'm just working it out. So there Okay And the backpack is like really huge and it'll be like that And like you'll have like bits coming off of it And then uh, I'll see that has a a wire that comes around and this thing Has a wire that comes around Lots of wires everywhere There we go Let's see Techno viper I don't think I spoiled anything by by mentioning the techno viper won the patreon poll um so, you know Sorry if that is spoiling it for someone who uh Who didn't want to know that that wire actually doesn't come in there Does it it goes into the bottom? So this is gotta go like that. Okay, never mind But let's see Yeah, no, no, let's do it right. Let's do it right. Do it right Uh, let's see so Just one. I don't I don't want to get all the details right now. I just want to get the general shape of it Let's got this little thing up there And a little sort of got a stock to it Rip rip rip. Okay, duh. I don't have to get all the details I just want to sort out where everything is going to be On the page okay, all right, so this is This is the basic layout and it is pretty basic, you know, but it's going to be a Um a thumbnail Ryan daily says barbecue was my first gijo sort of well like, um I'll do my a quick review of barbecue Uh My quick review of barbecue delicious Yeah, um I don't want to cover the camera. I gotta see it The moray and the lamprey and zap were my first joes. Okay, cool. Um, yeah, that's um The moray is is a really nice vehicle. That's that's a that's a good one to start with that's a good The hat still isn't straight. What's in the hat? Why can't I put on hat on straight? All right, so Now if I can Not drip on the page Let's uh, let's start fleshing this out. So this is our start starting point Um, I'm gonna try to clean this up just a little bit Um, okay Okay, and I need let me grab another page Just to Do that. Okay, so let's let's try to get this let's start with the head And let's try to get the shape of this helmet right He's got a very unusual helmet We're doing we're doing the The techno viper That's that's an unusual helmet. So let's let's work on that and I'll I'll do my best to Keep an eye on the live chat and I but I often get distracted when I'm doing this, but I'll try to keep an eye on you guys make sure you're behaving I got a joe in uh with the 87 uk relaunch Uh got back into joe. Thanks to this fantastic channel. And so thanks. Yeah. Well, thank you. Thank you very much Oh, hello, katie. Nice to see you. How do you do? Thanks for being here? I'm drawing In case anybody missed it. I'm I'm doing a drawing of the techno viper and And this is how far I've gotten I've just basically sort of laid it out how it's going to appear on the page Uh, so let's do this and for the techno viper like I'm doing the belt up Right, but really there there aren't a ton of great details on the lower half His wire is disconnected again But there's not a lot of great details on the lower half. So I think it's better to just focus on the Top half of the figure where he has a lot more going on. So yeah Measure twice cut once that's the rule. That's correct Okay, so let's let's figure out this dude's weird shaped helmet. So I've got like basically the size that I want the helmet to be But let's get the shape now Man, that's weird. That is a weird helmet. Okay. Uh, so but it kind of cuts in half Around there and all right, there's my center point right here All right, so I'm going to it's gonna go like up and Around man, this is a weird helmet. Who thought of this? Probably Ron, right? Ron probably thought of this It's it's it's definitely unusual. Maybe that's why it's memorable because it's definitely unusual You got a little doodaw here and this is like a a brow ridge all right, and That comes down and then he's got like these little two sort of triangular eye slits That is a really unusual design Like for a guy who's doing technical work. He doesn't or or is this is the silver supposed to be The the eye part But the silver doesn't look like it. It looks like it goes under the eyes. Doesn't it? I'm not crazy, right? Taking a break from painting heading back to home depot Okay, well, thanks for popping in. Thanks for popping in you you're painting and I'm drawing So we're both doing something artistic. Hello, um Arthur Fisher. I don't think I saw you come in. Hello How do you do the only cobra figures I had multiples of or techno Viper I love their weapons. Yeah, I um Very very interesting accessories Which I look forward to talking about during the review that will be coming up later this month Let's see. All right That is complicated that this this helmet is complicated, man Is you don't necessarily appreciate how Unusual it is until you try to Represent it in two dimensions Okay, so now see that doesn't work Hold on. I'll get it. I'll get it I need I need to get this I need to get this like mouth event piece Okay Hey, we still got 61 people in here Which is I think pretty darn impressive Considering that for part of the time I wasn't even here You guys actually stuck around during the break. So thank you. Thank you very much All right, so this is gonna come. Okay, so all right. No, I'm getting it. I'm getting it. I'm gonna kind of create another Layer there because then I think that Will work better Okay, so it's gonna be kind of like that That is a weird helmet, man Can I can I make that look cool? I'm not sure Okay, so this is like how the helmet actually is laid out okay So like That's a strange helmet. I'm rolling with it though. I'm rolling with it I'm gonna try to get it as close as I can to the to the figure So Yeah Yay for creativity. Yeah, exactly. And hello and welcome back cobra island Make sure you check out cobra island for cobra convergence today And check the calendar at htc788.com for the whole list of presenters Okay That is so unusual that is just A very strange helmet. I don't I don't know that I fully appreciated how strange that helmet is until just now Okay, all right, so there and then The helmet is gonna Make his head seem a little oversized, but it's not oversized. That's the thing It's a big helmet All rise for purple helmets Okay, so that's gonna be like there's a ring around his neck Ring around the collar you might say sometimes I watch like vintage commercials There's something soothing about it but the the commercials for the detergent That was supposed to fight ring around the collar Use the phrase ring around the collar about 50 times in a 30 second commercial By the end of it. I'm like, I don't give a damn what ring around the collar is or what you do to Uh to fix it. I'm just sick of hearing about it Okay Okay, it's taking shape. It's taking shape All right, that actually needs to come in a bit like that There we go. There we go. There we go and then this Gotta do the same Get the basics down here and then I'll get the fine details In a second it's coming together Don't you wish you could see it, huh? Uh, oh somebody was from Memphis. Hello Jeff from Memphis. Hello Memphis from the United States And thank you Bart for uh for issuing the standard greeting much appreciated I was just in Memphis a long time ago, but I didn't stay long all I could do is just I was just stopping on the way back from joe fest. So I was there briefly I love the orange and blue viper Not a great camel. Yeah, not the best camouflage scheme We're waiting for the cobra dancing girls to come in for the halftime show. Yeah, see Yeah, stay tuned for that actually Uh, there there may be dancing girls later in the show So absolutely don't turn away And tell your friends to tune in because you never know when the dancing girls are going to show up um Yes, thank you. Uh, uh Ivan. I am a goat Baha, I did have a goatee one time Uh, uh, let's see. Uh case says didn't know you're able to draw. Yeah. Oh, thank you It is it is a thing I do. I did go to art school About a million years ago So so here's the progress. I am The uniform is starting to take shape Let me get a couple of the things that need to be on here Because there are lots of bits and bobs on On the techno viper uniform Uh, so yeah at joe fest one of the things that I do is I bring some of my my scribbles Uh to sell at my table And honestly, uh, I I do pretty well like people lots of people do show up and pick them up. So that's it's nice It's nice um And thank you. Thank you to everyone who actually picks one up. It's very nice. I really appreciate it but yeah, like I've said like Like am I ready to like step my My art up a little bit and get a bit more into Like the shading and the the lighting effects and the things that I don't really do right now I probably should All right, we're getting there. We're getting there um Yes, yes, I uh I I do I knew I do know what you mean by by by that goat. Yeah greatest of all time g o at and like I saw something that I saw something on like a a football facebook group was like somebody posted. Hey since tom um Well, i'm tom brady like retired and then like unretired, right Then like somebody posted since tom brady's retired You know patrick mahomes the new goat Like hold on a minute Goat doesn't mean like you're great right now goat is greatest of all time, right? So you have to kind of have a bit of longevity to be the goat Uh Yeah, and it's yeah, that's a player. Um patrick mahones Absolutely great player right now But for the goat you got to stick around for a little bit It's not greatest of right now that doesn't even make a good acronym That's uh Gorn that would be then you're the gorn greatest of right now is the gorn Which is a totally different thing Um, let's see, um Do you ever watch those divan rodriguez art videos? I didn't I didn't maybe I should maybe I should look those up Um, okay uniform is coming together. It's coming together. He's got uh like a these hose attachments That i'm trying to get in here. So that goes like Okay, I got it. I got it. It goes like this and this goes like almost all the way across his midsection with some ridges there All right, let me let me dummy out this um This thing And then I'll I'll show you guys the progress real quick. But let me let me sort this out. So this kind of goes like This has let me okay. Let me get this. It's got like a sort of a lip there rounded And it's kind of squared off And it's got like a a thing here Um, and then it's got like this is like curved and it curves up like this So it's a capture of that curve in three dimensions. We'll do like that and then Curve that around and this and then it has some like like like teeth on it Like that and then here it's got some It's got some like half moon shaped divots Along there and we'll try to capture That in three dimensions, but I just want to hold their place right now and then the lower Claw Comes down like this And it is much smaller like so All right, okay, so that's that's sort of how I want that and that's going to be like It's going to come out this way Uh, I this is like something I would absolutely be using a straight edge for if I were doing this um For an art director or something but Since I'm not I'm using the The tried and true art technique of eyeballing it So, uh, oh, hello, uh, white white vegeida. Nice to see you. Thank you for being here. There's the progress Got it kind of worked out a little bit there And you will be able to see it much better when it's uh darkened in hey comic tropes is back Uh, thank you. He says yo coco yo right back at you Um, uh jtr the serial killer. I just got here. Uh, was that part of techno viper? Yes. I'm I'm working on A drawing of Of the techno viper. This is going to be for a thumbnail image So what I've been doing lately. I used to Um, did I mean to say that? Okay, um Yeah, I used to do the thumbnail images images entirely digitally But doing them in pencil Gives me an original That I can give away or sell to somebody if they want it Uh, so yeah, I've been trying to Trying to uh To do these in pencil now Okay, so uh, that is fine. Um, okay, so and then that's gonna have a A A wire that comes around I think I've told this story before but like in art school It wasn't me but somebody else was struggling trying to draw Curves Arches and stuff like without a tool It's for on this occasion And it it is easier to draw if you're drawing an arch. It's easier to draw this way than it is to draw this way, right? So ideally for comfort and for ease of drawing an arch you're going to want to draw it over, right? And it was a student that was struggling and one of the instructors said why don't you why don't you just turn the page Right, why don't you just like Turn the page around So you can draw it the the why are you making it harder on yourself? And I I I overheard this and I don't think I thought of that I was like, okay Why am I not just turning the page? And making this a little easier on myself. All right, so slide progress slide progress um, and uh, I guess Uh, if you guys stick around, hey, we still got 63 people in here Techno viper says cool art. Uh, I think techno viper was one of the first gi jo figures I bought with my own money Hey, that's cool. That's a really cool story. And I do like hearing those kinds of stories because I do like I do like hearing like personal history of uh of joes and what people like And and uh Byron law would like a gorn o-ring figure. That's has anybody ever done a gorn o-ring I think there was a gorn mego figure, uh eight inch figure, but I don't know that anybody's ever done a gorn o-ring figure So, yeah So to be the goat You have to be around long enough for people to say yes, that is that person is the greatest of all time Uh, so you may be great right now And so you're the g o r n you're the gorn but to be the goat You know, you got to stick around and show your greatness over time Um, so patrick mohones excellent player We'll see we'll see if he shows his greatness over a long period of time Maybe he in someday in the future he will be the goat But for that now he's the gorn i'm not actually sure he's the gorn either, but he's he's very good He's very good An argument can be made You can's the city fans Okay, so let's uh, let's now dummy out the The arms Okay, so all right, so actually the the the chest is going to be like here Let's give them let's give them some some a little bit of musk muskle here just kind of To round out that uniform and then the shoulder The shoulder is interesting Because it has a little like design on the On the arm And my army technivipers were the medics for my bat squad. Hey that kind of makes sense, right? They are the ones that you would want Uh working on damaged bats and bats are going to get damaged a lot Remember what bats stands for bat s bust it all to shit bat s So you're gonna get some bats bats Uh, let's see, uh jtr serial killer us. I sent you a techniviper and uh and fast bra fast draw many years ago Thank you very much. They were the last of my collection and wanted to give them to a new home I made the right choice. Thank you very much jtr I don't know if if this specific bat is that or i'm sorry if this specific techniviper is that techniviper but I do keep all of those and like this is my My baggo technivipers and I only have two of them in it So it is either that one or this one So it's one of these I don't know which one but thank you for that and um it is always much appreciated um Although i'm not an army builder having multiple of certain figures is a huge help There have been many times in the past where I've only had one of a particular figure and something's happened to it Or I like I sold it or gave it away and then later discovered that no I actually needed that again So, yeah, I I tend to hang on to things now more than More than I used to now that is interesting. So his arm Has a silver hose that connects like There ish And it goes Europe and kind of wraps around the arm, but not exactly At the elbow. It's like Just a little past the elbow. So I've got the elbow here Lots of lots of technical detail and gadgetry on this guy So that that's kind of what makes him fun to draw. So we're going to do like that's going to be like this And then he's yeah, the glove is really interesting too Lots of really interesting details on this guy. I really I really really like it I do like the techno viper and hopefully that's not a spoiler It's it's not my favorites By any stretch, but it's a really good one And it's it's it's kind of a feast for the eyes There's just a lot lot to it. So this is going to be a little thing like that around his Around his wrist All right, let me see if I can get the the hand And I I will I will show you the progress here. Thank you to the 69 people who are still here. Oh, thank you Josiah I'm back turkey meat loaf is cooking. That sounds like a delicious independence day meal Uh, probably better than anything I will have today I did stop on the way home and pick up something to make for dinner because I will have to eat While I'm doing this I will have to eat at some point during those 12 hours um Let's see a comic trope says I think if the techno viper's purple were a shade or too darker It would be a little bit cooler. Yeah, that's probably cool. Uh rocky all the way. What's that? Rambo would have been a perfect celebrity joe. Yeah Rambo would have been a good choice and uh, Chris is correct. Rocky almost was Now the the purple in the center of his chest. I think is about right I like that darker purple But yeah, then he has a lighter purple So if like the lighter purple were the same shade as that darker purple and the dark purple was just a little bit darker I think that would have worked really well as it is. I still think it's it's fine. I still think it looks great Okay, so one thing that I think is kind of funny and interesting is that his belt His belt is kind of decorative It's not a utility belt. It doesn't have a lot of pouches or anything So for somebody who's just like adorned with technical stuff His belts isn't Uh drawing it actually also helps me notice certain details That I want to point out in in the review Which is a reason why I really should draw all of the thumbnails before doing the review But I often don't because I don't think of it until after it's done And I start sorting that out Oh my quick text message One second. All right, there we go. Okay, so um, all right. What we got here. Um, let's see Ryan. Okay Uh gussie neon purple rules Oh Doyle rules Ryan daily hasbro. We want Rambo as the face of gi joke Ivan Tear the club up. Yeah, that's right. See you take it. See obviously I have to do a techno music Gag or joke for the techno viper. I mean, I just can't pass that one up Stallone. Did you watch first blood? Yeah. Good point. Good point Uh after first blood like the Rambo series went in a much different direction John matrix and john Rambo. Yeah, there we go. Um, uh white figure did the weapon crates make it home Yes, the weapon crates make it made it home. Yes. Thank you. Thank you for pointing that out. Um Everything made it home And like when I was showing off some of the stuff that I got Um at joe fest in the live stream. I didn't want anyone to worry that Stuff that they that they gave to me didn't make it back Um, it all made it back, but some of it had to be creatively packed To to fit in our stuff and to be safe um But everything made it back and um I I have not since then revisited and gone back to uh pull out the other stuff from my uh From my luggage and stuff, but I'm going to so that I can show that off So yeah, I got I got crates, uh some right like really nice Like weapons crates that would be actually they'd be great for both classified scale and for um for like three and three quarter inch scale Uh, and I got some other stuff too that I haven't been able to show off yet Uh, but I would like to And I will as soon as I can But yes, don't worry just because I haven't had a chance to show it off yet Everything made at home and I was really thrilled and honored to get All of the stuff that I was given So sincere. Thank you for that um and uh Yeah, I'm I'm going to uh I'm gonna break all that stuff out, but yeah, some of the stuff had to be packed in in different Like not in the the big tote and Not everything could fit in the backpack either the backpack was super loaded up Uh, and then there was some stuff in the suitcase Um, and yeah, it was it was a challenge to get it all to get it all home, but We got it all and and I checked and double checked to make sure nothing got left behind There's nothing nothing got left at the hotel in the room at the table. None of that everything made at home Everything made at home Okay, so this glove is going to go like that and then And then he's got the like the hose like the other side that runs like This so let's do that Okay Uh, okay. Here's the progress gijo having an mp figure implies someone on base got in trouble at some point Uh, which go joe got in trouble. It's got to be uh, uh shipwreck, right? It's like shipwreck is the he keeps the the mp's Um Busy just all by himself All right. Sorry checking checking checking text messages Um, I I do have to keep up with some personal stuff as we do this Because it's 12 hours, man Okay, so let's see Like that try to get this arm correct or as close as I can get Remember what old sandy used to say Is good enough for the girls I go out with And if there are any girls watching that I go out with that's not it's it's good, right? It's it's it's yeah Any any girls watching that I go out with high Sandy's paying you a compliment that's that's what he meant But anyway good enough for the girls I go out with That's what sandy used to say Um, oh, hello. Um, thank you draws. Thank you Um, and uh mainframe fraternizing with the yes the mainframe got in a little and falcon falcon had some issues, right falcon falcon got in a little bit of trouble Falcon had some issues man. He's that dude had an attitude problem He needed an attitude adjustment. You know who's who who you can who's just the right person to do that Is sergeant slaughter sergeant slaughter has the attitude adjuster He can adjust your attitude So if you need that The serge is only too willing to help uh Quick a quick kick. I think I mean was probably popular with the mps as well trying to sneak in Uh girls and stuff. Yeah Yeah, he did that and also being like chronically out of uniform Uh, yeah, like and yeah, I know gi joe's special forces unit and they they have like some different uniform standards um Yeah, I know I get that But there's going to be some limit, right? You've got to at least wear shoes right like So if if you have a mission to 7 11 you got to stand outside Because because you're not wearing shoes Yeah, and like Yes, gussey a stuntman a stuntman who like gi joe first found him Uh in the snow, right? He was in the snow and uh Um, and not just a little bit of snow and lots of snow Not wearing a shirt and what not wearing shoes Uh gi joe yo joe everybody um Yeah, a quick kick was all hollywood. That's that that's that's quick kick Um, let's see. All right. Let me okay. Let me dummy out the The cobra sigil on the chest So there's a there's a thing like That I have a problem with when when i'm drawing like and that is running my hand across The sketch and smudging the pencil I have always had a problem with that right and I did ask An art teacher in art school what You know how to stop doing that and his instruction was Well, just don't do it Thank you Thank you. I hadn't thought of that very helpful Sure, I'm sure glad you're getting paid to tell me that but yeah like It's a thing and it's something that I try to be more conscious of and I'm doing better about it But one of the reasons I'm doing better about it is because I Have a sheet to cover Uh where I'm placing my hand So that I don't run to like so I don't do the smudgies as much Okay, so it's going to be like that That is not precise is it but we are going to make it work anyway All right, I'm definitely going to need to clean that up but That's fine. Good enough for the girls. I go out with Is what sandy said I I do not endorse that attitude all right Actually, I think my my voice is holding up. Okay I was having a little bit of trouble with it earlier, but It's doing all right for right now It's doing all right Okay So it's not gonna be like perfect But it'll be okay So all right, here's the progress. Oh, thank you, uh, Josiah Says i'm from tampa our shirt and shoes a must and okay Um, first of all, hello tampa from the united states. Thank you very much for the super chat in oklahoma like If you're wearing a t-shirt and cut-offs That's formal wear All right, that's that's what you wear to a wedding like you go you go into like A graduation you know um Then you're gonna wear your Your nice tank top So there's the progress. It's coming together a little bit. It's it's coming in. It's getting a little bit more solid I need to work on I need to work on this Kind of whatever this is like is a laser welding tool or something um Hey, what's that? Let's see Okay Uh, okay, so i'm gonna work on that next Since that needs a little bit more detail and once I get the The basics sort of hammered out here then I can really start Uh drawing it in and Uh darkening it So really interesting shape on this It's like a It's like a y-wing fighter On the tip a little bit challenging to to get that shape Especially not using tools as I am not But we'll dummy it out here So yeah, I did go to art school, uh in dallas texas When I was 18 years old Absolutely not ready to live on my own when I was 18. I was very sheltered as a young child Um not ready to live in a different city Not prepared to do the kind of work I needed to do in art school did not finish Um, but yeah, I like I wanted to be a comic book artist like so many other people Like that that's nothing new Uh thousands of people want to be comic artists, but I wanted to actually get a formal education to do it but Like the focus was more on like commercial art like, uh like advertising design and Uh, there there was some illustration and some fine art but like This wasn't at all what I was what I was hoping it would be And there are specific schools for comic book art like the cubert school But like I I wasn't Um I was less prepared than Then I thought I was And I didn't think I was that prepared for it So yeah, it didn't it wasn't what I was hoping it would be and I ended up coming back home and not finishing that um And it was is Not entirely a waste of time. I shouldn't say that It was perhaps a waste of money Because I ended up not working in that profession at all Uh, but but I I took I took some lessons from it You know, I I took I I did take some instruction and I did learn some things, right? I learned some things about layout. I learned some things about, you know, graphic design That's and that's not at all to say that I'm I'm good at any of those things But I I did take a few tricks with me that I that I still use Now if I were to try to do that like professionally, I I would adhere more to some of those graphic design rules Then I do now But I but I am appreciative of some of the lessons that I learned in our school Some of it did turn out to be Useful after all So, yeah, that that's good That's all right, let's see And I'm sorry. I'm not keeping a close eye on the On the live chat. I will try um, uh, what what I've been missing. Hello James Uh, bros or bochi, however you broach, however you pronounce your name, but hello. Thank you for being here Um, uh, somebody mentioned cubert. That was a good game. I did I have I think I have cubert on the atari 2600 right now Um, let's see. Uh comic tropes. I've drawn thumbnails for him. But that's it. Oh, yeah. Yes comic tropes has drawn some Uh, some thumbnail artwork for me in the past. Thank you for that comic tropes, uh, chris. I I greatly appreciate it Um, I I I admit I do have a hard time accepting Um accepting art From people that that I don't pay for And I get offers I get offers of people who want to do art For the channel for free and and I have taken them up on that sometimes But I have to admit I have a hard time doing that because Like I I know it's offered and I know people wouldn't offer if they want didn't want to do it, but Like it's Their their work and their time is valuable You know, and I don't want to take Something of value That somebody is done Um without compensation that And and my channel is not of the size That I can like higher people to Uh, to do art to do thumbnails I that that's not That's not in the budget right now So so I can't like offer to pay for it Um, so people have been very kind about offering their work Uh, but I have I have accepted that less lately Just because I don't man. I don't I really don't want to take advantage of people. I I don't want to do that Um, it's not something I would ever ask anyone to do Um All right, let's see interesting shape stock. Let me try to capture that Um, what do we got when drawing thumbnails does it need to be manicured first? Absolutely If it's not manicured it's it's no good Um, let's see. Hold on text message Okay, all right. Sorry. I yes, I will be distracted by personal stuff from time to time because It's 12 hours, man It's it's 12 hours All right, so that's like that and then that's like that Okay, and then it's like yirp and then yirp I think that's good. And then it's got like this little cutaway that is sort of this shape Yirp And then that's gonna go like that and then the arm comes through there we go. Okay All right, so there's that it is it's sort of It's sort of like Like the vintage accessory. It's it's like It's not exact But I am using That time honored art technique of eyeballing it Um A comic short says i'm gonna write a gijo madlib and message it to you that could help fill some time I appreciate the assistance. It's 12 hours, man Um, oh, thank you the figure six pack. I don't think I saw you come in but thank you. Thank you very much Um, and let's see for some of us. It's exposure to the community and bragging rights to be part of something Everything is cool. Well, I'll say and thank you mic and I and I Uh, I really appreciate that and and I hope that Uh that that it's that it can be seen in that light Um, and I I know it's I know it's just me, right? It's just it's my Psychology it's my attitude and just kind of the way I am But I I really really really Don't want to even accidentally Take advantage of and of anybody Uh Like of anybody's offers of anybody's generosity. It's one of the reasons why like I stopped taking I stopped taking stuff At the p.o. Box for a while um And I restarted that recently but I I kept the p.o. Box open. I didn't shut it down But I I asked people to like don't send anything for a while because people are being very generous and Yeah, it it makes me nervous. I don't want even one person To say hey, you know, I regret Being generous to that guy. I regret giving something to that guy And like here's the thing. I'm not perfect. I will make mistakes I I will I will fail to Uh show my appreciation sometimes when I should and that's just part of being human. I I make mistakes But I don't I it makes me nervous. It makes me nervous to To accept Something of value from someone and then like risk like not Um That person not feeling appreciated For what they do Uh, I I really don't want that and it's one of the reasons why like I shut down the patreon for a while And nowadays like the patreon like keeps me going like I need it uh to To pay the bills right now but um Uh, but yeah, like even when I was just using the patreon to pay for like Toys and stuff. I wasn't using it to pay the bills But it was the patreon that allowed me to get the gold head steel brigade A ridiculously expensive figure Uh and absurdly rare figure that I would not likely would not have been able to get otherwise um but I'm like I'm benefiting from these these uh These folks generosity and man I um I want people to understand that that I do truly appreciate it And that's one of the reasons why I did the pin. I did a an hcc's gold head brigade pin That was only for for patrons and I tried to send them to everybody. I think there were a couple people who Uh, who didn't get them. I tried to send them to everybody who actually sent their address Hopefully I caught everyone and that included some international people um But I I just wanted I wanted to say thanks and I did Give some of them out to specific people who Who've shown like extraordinary? Uh generosity and support for the channel um But that like the gold head pin is was never anything to be sold Uh, not something to be like given away, um at conventions or stuff um It was solely for the purpose of showing appreciation for people who have been Very generous with their support and even at that, okay I'm even at trying to Show my appreciation in that way. I also don't want people to think that like you gotta Uh, you gotta send stuff That you gotta like be on patreon to to be appreciated Oh, thank you. Joe. So yeah, again, you understand. We appreciate the uh the forum you provide a thing I I thank you and I I hope that you do and I Um, I just want to make sure that I you know, I appreciate you Uh, oh, hey, it's kujo. Hey kujo. Cheers. Nice to see you and diana is back. Uh, thank you Um, let's see. Uh, gotta step away to listen to the news and oh there's news. Okay, and that's probably bad news um Yeah, so if there's news it's I'm gonna have to catch up on it later Uh, we don't we don't need any more bad news. We've we've had a lot of bad news Oh, apparently it's something sad. Don't tell me I'll find out later. I I will Yeah, I don't I yeah, I don't want to I don't want to be a news forum here, but Uh, yes, I I am engaged in you know the The happenings in the country and the world um I just I don't want to I don't I don't want to break bad news here But I do I do want to know what's going on. Uh, and I'm afraid if I look right now It will uh It will not be easy to process At this exact moment I Given the kind of things that have been happening lately. I could probably guess what's going on This this is why we have like we uh We are we're not talking about Bruno and we are not talking about the state of the republic right now Because it it can get a little too depressing um, but yeah, that's It's supposed to be a good festive day um, uh Mclauchery Hey mac, I'm gonna call you because I'm from oklahoma and I have far time pronouncing words Uh, I love your content. But why is the red white and blue flag of the netherlands? good question because I needed something that was graphic like that with that and the that the um The letters would show up on that's the real reason but the but the secret reason is um Is that I'm I'm a secret agent for the net for uh for the netherlands. So Uh So you you found me out You discovered my my secret identity Uh, Josiah says please keep the bad stuff off the channel. I yeah, I'm not I'm gonna try to uh, it's it's hard to Because there seems to be always bad stuff happening and that's uh Like I I I don't stick my head in the sand. I I I do Uh, I am engaged on what's in what's going on and I do have opinions about it But man like it's hard to It's hard to keep the spirits up Right now it it it is a challenge All right, and I also do want to express my sympathies to people who are Experiencing these hard times um comma tropes says, uh, uh, if you could make just one figure based on a hama original character Um, let's see hama original characters. I mean there have been some In the More recent series but going back to the marvel series hama original characters You had the hard master the soft master. You had candy professor apple um You know what? I'm gonna go wild and crazy uh is I'm gonna go with Adele Burkhardt. Dr. Burkhardt. That would be my choice Um, Diana says it's why I'm stepping off this place needs to be a place Um to be able to step away. Yeah, absolutely Understood Diana and totally cool. And thank you for stopping in when you can Uh, real life always takes precedence always so but thank you. Thank you for being here Uh, and thank you for a stand on top of of important news Um, I'm glad Quinn got a figure. Yes. Quinn got a figure. Absolutely. That's another uh, hama figure There's also dr. Venom. Dr. Venom did eventually get a figure, but I'm gonna go wild and nuts And crazy and I'm gonna say dr. Adele Burkhardt Not high on people's lists. I know Um, uh Josiah, thank you again Josiah. It's nice to have a happy place to go to. Thank you I'm trying to keep it happy. I'm trying to But like I also don't want to be disengaged, right? I there are real things going on out there and uh I don't want to be disengaged, but You know, I'm at least right now. I'm trying to keep it lighthearted. I'm trying to keep it Trying to keep it good But I am disappointed to hear that apparently there is some bad news that I will get to read about What I'm done with this stream We don't need any more of that Do not need any more of it. Let's see. Um, okay. Here's the thing Okay, yeah, I know it's just gonna be that way I'm talking to myself. Okay. Here's I'm sorry. Here's the progress. I haven't showed the progress for a while There's progress and it's basically done. I just need to um, finalize these lines And uh and finish it up. So let's finish it up This has gone longer than I anticipated, which is great if something goes long That means like I have less That I have to make up to fill time later So, uh, we will we'll finish this let's finish this and let's make it good. Okay Let's make it Let's make it a good drawing Let's make it a good doodle. All right So let's get some of the contours of that helmet and let's do that right now like that I'll show you guys the progress again when I have the helmet Done and ready Let's get it up a little bit Uh technically I shouldn't have to clean it up because I'm digitally inking it So you won't see any errant lines anyway But there was a guy who wanted a techno viper. He may buy this one. So I'm trying to keep it Trying to clean it up for Make it look like something you might want to keep Okay, okay That's a contour right there Okay Okay, like so Like so Yerp Yerp Those eyes are weird like the the the eye holes the lenses in the In the helmet Are weird man that techno viper helmet is Like I really didn't appreciate how strange it was Okay, until I tried to draw it I mean you look at it all the time You're like, yeah that that helmet has layers But then you try to actually represent The three-dimensional thing in in 2d and try to get all those layers and you're like man That helmet has layers Okay, try not to rush it though It'd be really tempting to rush it right now because I've I've already done the hard part I've already done the hard work Uh, hello low one bow two Hello low. It says, uh Do you know if joe fest usually has different guests each year? I might go back next year. Yeah, they usually have different guests They often have some recurring guests. They usually have sergeant slaughter, but they didn't have him This year because of a scheduling conflict They usually have Larry hama, but he was at He was at heroes con because there was a conflict with that this year. There usually isn't Um, but yeah, usually your usual suspect gi joe people like ron and larry are there Uh, usually there are some voice actors And there were voice actors. I oh, yeah, I did not have a chance to meet Michael, um The duke guy, um Why am I blanking on the duke voice actors? Name my god, I must be tired Arthur burkhart was there this year. I think that's his first time ever being there And I did go to his panel and I wanted to to Stop and chat with him and get a picture, but I I did not have a chance to do that I tried to get around to do that But I didn't have a chance But Arthur Burkhart is a very interesting person Really really fascinating person to listen to um The voice of storm shadow was there Um Michael bell, thank you very much. Why yes, I know Michael bell. I do thank you. I uh I was having a brain fart that happens to me sometime. I think it's the age Now I did not have a chance to meet Michael bell. I don't think I even saw him like I I was Not able to go around to the floor as much as I wanted to And I don't think I even one time I actually caught him at his table And that's not his fault. It's my fault. I I didn't break away as much as I I wanted to um But yeah, they uh, they they have some recurring guests But yeah, each year they usually have somebody new and different And uh, yeah, augusta augusta georgia. I like it. It's a it's a fun town It's not a real big town And they are mostly known for golf So if you like golf You know There's that I I'm not a golfer um And and I do wonder sometimes if I really want to keep going back to augusta each year But I then I have such a great time reconnecting with friends And meeting new people That I'm like, yeah, I do want to go back to augusta each year because I want to see everybody I want to see my friends and I want to make new friends. I want to make new connections And uh, so yeah, um as much as I can, you know barring any life event that keeps me from going Yeah, I'm gonna go And I would also like to make it to some of the regional shows like I really enjoyed going to Assembly required in Des Moines, Iowa Uh, and I would go back to that I'd like to I did not make it Uh to the last one, but I wish I had I was actually trying to see if maybe I could make that work Was my trip to the northeast but the timing just did not work out But uh, but yeah, there's some really good regional shows as well. Uh, the pizza shop. Yes, uh, and thank you to barge Um, and uh in match and everybody who spent like a lot of time with me That was really cool hanging out with you guys. They had a really nice pizza shop there also Uh, we got some sushi at a place downtown. I don't remember what it's called, but Uh, some some decent sushi some sushi that my very picky child Actually ate and liked She actually liked the sushi and it is so hard to get her To actually eat something She's very picky But she actually liked the sushi. Um, so all right here. Here's progress Make a progress it's coming together working on it So I think after I'm done with this It'll be about the time to take another break Um, I'm trying to take a break every couple hours. It's about 30 minutes from the end of the fourth hour So I think that's a good time for a break, but let me see if I can finish this And then and then break How we doing, uh, thank you Ivan. Thank you. Yeah, we're we're making progress. I'm just kind of Finishing it up here I've done all the hard work already, right? I've done I've I've planned it out. I figured out where everything's going. So all the hard work is done Now it's just a matter of just finishing it may need to sharpen the pencil again Yeah, techno viper is a challenge though. There are so many fine details on this uniform And this is like trying to get it close to the figure At this scale, I could add details you know, I could actually dive into some details that might not have Come out so well on the three and three quarter inch figure, but I'm not gonna do that this time. I want to try to get it as close to the figure as I can all right Okay Here we go Let's draw a few quick lines let's get this Laser welder or whatever it is kind of better defined here Just like don't take a ruler to it the perspective that I'm doing right now Uh, we'll say is we'll call it not precise Totally eyeballing it here and again, absolutely not how I would do this If I were doing a comic book or a book or something like that but For The purposes for which this will be used This is fine Good enough for the girls I go out with I I do assume that sandy did go out with some girls Um and knowing stand sandy knowing sandy I don't know the standards may not have been too high I did like sandy stand sandy was a nice guy. I enjoyed working with them I I don't know that he would have made The best boyfriend though. I not that I would know but you know he uh He did he did fine. He did work. He did good work um So uh for those who don't know the story so back when I worked at Gardner's bookstore years and years ago like the first time I worked there um There was all sandy Who was related to Richard Gardner in some way? I forget exactly how they were related um But he was kind of the handyman and um, he built the bookcases for the bookstore And uh, and you know he needed help with them. So I helped him out So I helped him build a lot of the bookcases that are presently in the store Those bookcases still stand They are extremely solid that I will give sandy credit for that Like a nuclear bomb may not take out those those bookcases um But yeah the old sandy he uh He liked to to come to work. He liked to make sure he had some of grandpa's old cough medicine And uh, yeah sand sandy was just living his best life But he he had he had a ton of his little catchphrases One of which was that's good enough for the girls I go out with So I wouldn't say his work was extremely precise But hey those book those bookshelves are level And they are solid as hell You know you you go out there to you look look up the address Gardeners used books and comics Tulsa, Oklahoma You go out there. You try to kick down one of those bookcases. It ain't moving You know Yeah, do a line a linebacker like shoulder, you know tackle Put your weight into it. It ain't moving those things will Those things will outlast outlast the building In which they are housed If you do that though Don't tell them I sent you Jerry would be very upset He's like, why are all these people coming in here trying to knock down our book cases? Why are they trying to knock down our bookshelves? They're like, oh, brian's in us like oh Don't make jerry mad He's a very high strung individual. He can't take the stress Hi, jerry I'm out of your watching I did see him A little while ago and that's that's where I Have gone lately to pick up joe comics And that's the place that doesn't carry the saturday morning adventures and I would like for them to Uh, the first time I worked there I was in charge of the Collectible comics department and those were basically your back issues, right? So we had the new comics That they ordered from diamond And so we get those shipments And put those out, but I was in charge of the back issues and Sometime around that time They built these double decker of tables For the back issues, right? So there's a There's a level a top level and a bottom level and on both levels you have long boxes of back issue comic books um That was not my idea That was richards idea To save space so you can fit twice as many comics In the same amount of space But what that means is if you if you want to reach the comics on the on the bottom level You're on the floor You have to get down on the floor to reach down there plus Those tables are extremely heavy And they have to be moved from time to time you got to rearrange the store you got to sort things out So so occasionally they do have to be moved And they are hell They are hell to move Even if you take you take all this stuff off This is what you tune in for isn't it? You tune in for your gi joe you tune in for completely random And not very interesting personal stories And and for techno viper drawings. So there's there's the progress It's coming along I think the timing is going to be great. I think i'm going to finish this it's taking a lot longer than I thought that it would Because hey, it's me right uh, but It is also going to be finished up right about the time. I think that I need to take My second break So thanks to the 66 people who are still hanging around For this fourth of july 12 hour livestream As usual, I I don't expect anyone to stay here for the the entire 12 hours. Are you nuts? I'm nuts for doing it But you know as people can you know stop in you know When they have breaks from their fourth of july festivities, you know, I hope you'll stop in and stay high Okay, so let's get let's get the chest We're working our way Down the page here Okay, there Um one more thing about joe fest now that i'm thinking of it. I think I mentioned it before but Thinking about it further Next time I go to joe fest I'm definitely flying now. I may or may not have a table. I haven't decided that yet But even if I have a table i'm flying Okay, the reason I drove this time is because I was bringing a lot of stuff For my table and I figure that that stuff can't fit on a plane that can't Reasonably be in check baggage. That's You know, that's just not workable but When I actually got there I ended up not being able to use some of the stuff that I plan to set up So like if i'm not using the tv and I don't have the big stand-up sign um And like I don't so I don't need those like big bulky pieces I could fit the rest of the stuff in in a in a large checked bag On for a plane I could I could take that stuff on a plane Um and since I broke the trip into into two like I stayed The night in birmingham before making it to augusta stayed a night in memphis before making it back home If you add up the hotels the gas The wear and tear on the car The extra meals that I have to get while i'm out I totally could have got both of us plane tickets That that I could have done that and next time next time i'm doing that I have like I used to really and I do still sometimes enjoy road trips But i'm not as young as I used to be and those like many hour Road trips can really take it out of me now Plus like gas prices being what they are they're kind of crazy so Yeah, next time I'm flying I still haven't decided though if i'm gonna have a table there are some pros and cons to having a table Um, I do like the idea of having a home base right and I like the idea of having some Art available if people want it, you know to pick it up at the table So I do like that. I like that idea but But I also like being free To go to any panels that I want to To hang out with people as much as I want to To to leave sometimes and go to lunch and then come back later I like that. I like Having that freedom Which you don't really get if you have a table I mean, they want you to keep the table occupied at all times, but I didn't exactly, you know Uh Bart says I want one strove 32 hours straight. Uh now it's uh more than two hours away. I'm like that. Yeah, see that's Yeah, Bart me too I I have totally done that. I have totally done that um Hang on Yeah Oh, hey. Yeah, okay. So, uh chris sent me a gi joe mad libs So I'm gonna see if I can work that in hey red foreman. Thank you for the super chat. He says hey hoodie I say hey red Right back at you.

I've been trying to take a break every couple hours And I really feel like I need to break pretty soon But I'm gonna finish this And that'll be the perfect time To take said break Yeah, don't look too closely at this drawing I am Totally eyeballing it So like don't don't take a ruler to it Don't don't look at that perspective too closely And thanks. I'm sorry. I'm not able to keep up with the super chat as or I'm with the live chat as well When I'm drawing because my eyes are on the work But oh, yeah, we'll have plenty of time to talk.

Let's get that Okay Okay, here we go There we go This is this is not too bad.

I think it's about done Okay. All right. I I don't want to overdo it and if I keep doing it it's just gonna uh It's not gonna help just doing extra lines Just for the sake of sake of having extra lines is uh Does not help the drawing Let's sign it July 2022 okay.

So, um, we're gonna be opening that we're gonna be assembling that then We're going to If there's time we're gonna open this retro Baroness and we're gonna do a compare and contrast With the earlier Baroness with the cobra coil cycle. So This has already been opened. So I'll just take the figure out I will open this. This is another thing that has been sent was sent to me by hasbro But I have not had a chance to open it yet So, yeah, that's that's what's on the the agenda next I don't want to go too far into it, but We will also have a story time.

So we're going to open a couple of these That'll be later tonight Um, so yeah, we got we got a full ish agenda And if I if I can talk slower If I can talk more slowly then it can actually fill up 12 hours Uh, I'm pretty sure that's a pulse exclusive. Are you referring to? Oh The cobra thing. Um, I think that might have been but um But timmer has already done a review of it. He's he already has had it in his possession like way before I did So if you wanted to see like a a review of it Timmer has that on his channel on half the battle Um o ring releases releases will be at retail hasbro is gonna gouge buyers on pulse. Yeah, um, so uh, like I like I don't know exactly what the plans are for how they want to release those but Uh, but again, I wanted to emphasize I did not purchase this So if that you know affects your view of my, uh, objectivity, you know, certainly take that into account But I didn't buy this nor did I buy this Uh, but I I got them and I would like to open them and show them to you Um, what I oh, yeah, I need to get the vintage figures. I'll get the vintage figures So we can look at the vintage side by side with this Uh sold out, uh, and on the usa pulse. Yeah, I think so I think those did sell out. Um, I would like to get the duke and the cobra commander o ring figures because um I'm very curious what they have done with cobra commander like how Do they it has to be a new mold right? I think it has to be new tooling. I don't think they had the the original anymore so Did they update it and if so, how did they update it? I'm very curious. I'm very curious, but for now. I think it is time um Oh, I'm and Bart is also going to cook dinner. So it's it's break time for Bart It's break time for me too.

Oh, yeah And all that and I forgot to get the the ventures I want to get the vintage figures to compare with this. I hang on with me just for a second. I'll be right back Stare at the background One second We'll we'll return. All right. I'm back for real this time back for realsies Okay, all right, so I got Ah, I dropped my knife. Uh, okay Okay, I got for later I got I got this because This has the episode pigskin commandos Which we will watch later Um Andrew Andrew says popping in and out today about later in the week. I will be in full rewatch. All right I I admire anyone who actually watches This on the replay salute to you And thank you for being here and I I expect that people will pop in and out that is Totally normal and acceptable Um I I would be highly surprised if anybody actually six through the entire 12 hours. Holy moly um But uh, but when you do have a chance to pop in Hi, thanks. Thanks for popping in uh, thank nice to see everybody. I I do need to Oh All right and So now Let's open this as disclosed earlier This was sent to me by hasbro. I did not purchase it But I'm very curious it curious about it. So I got the Yeah, the the vintage cobra trooper the vintage cobra officer the swivel arm versions And so let's open this and let's compare and contrast with The new ones There the the tape is cut The seal is broken Uh, uh, the sign turned into the command. Yeah, see you gotta watch that thing that sign That that sign does some crazy stuff Uh, although if you want uh, uh to trick us into thinking you are edelman, you need to grow a full beard Yes, Edelman. He did rock the full beard, didn't he? Uh really really good player really good player retired retired recently Um But like I I I have a weird like personal connection to the number 11 when it comes to to sports jersey numbers um, so There's I won't go into it. It's another weird personal story, but yeah, I like I like the number 11 for odd personal reasons, but you know, this is a pretty good number 11 He he did he did well did did did nicely. So when I went to the patriot's game in november and I went to Well, I went to the patriot's hall of fame, uh, and uh, then went to the pro shop I had I had to had to get an edelman jersey. Although I do like the older style jerseys This is the newer style jersey. I like I like the older style jerseys a little bit better um, so okay, so let's Take these out There's the bottle when I Okay, here are the the cards They are carded and they are sealed cards, which means I will have to cut these off Um, so not not super collector friendly But they are trying to go with the wreck retro style packaging. So I get that I get that um, and let's see there This should have some stuff in it So I know it's already busted, but I'm gonna try to open it properly carefully There we go. That's that's some tough tape this this Knife is fairly sharp There we go. I think there we go Okay All right, so all right, how how are they? How are they asking us to open this here? Is it tab in? Okay Ah, got it got it. Okay, so All right. All right. I figured it out. So this There is the outer box There's a look at it here and one thing that they've done That a lot of fans have kind of wanted them to do is they swapped out the weapons the draganov Is being held by the officer and the trooper has the uh, the kalashnikov. So So yeah, that is something that a lot of fans Thought that that should have been done in the first place that those weapons should have been swapped. I do have Hold on While we're doing this hold on a second This is one of dan clingensmith's book and i books and i believe this is the one that has Yeah, the cobra trooper and the cobra officer. So here are some Some pre-production sketches of the trooper and the officer and as you can see like There's the trooper And in the in the pre-production sketches the trooper it does have the draganov sniper rifle And in the pre-production drawings of the officer The officer does have the ak47. So that is always what they were intended to come with It wasn't switched at the factory or something like that. No, that was that was part of the design But a lot of fans have thought for a long time That it should be reversed. And so that's what they've done That's what they've done with this so Now here are The actual o-ring figures here is this little box and Uh, yeah, the the cardboard is Is pretty busted, but let's see. How do I open it? I'm gonna go ahead and open it I guess you open it from the end Yes, no, which if so I gotta cut some more tape. Okay Um, yeah, so here's this Trying to hold this in the frame of the camera so you can see Yes, that was actually part of the design That was the original intent for them to come with the weapons That they came with according to the the early artwork So, yeah, that was that was intentional. That wasn't a mistake, but A lot of fans have felt for a long time that it should have been swapped. So there's their Disclaimer stuff and here We have a couple of of paper wrapped bundles And Now these should be some accessories. Yeah Okay, so these are the accessories And it comes with a variety. There is Stalker's sub machine gun Haslub his is at 13165 at the moment. It'll it'll get to to 16,000 it will get to it There is a modified A modified ak With no stock and with a short barrel That's interesting It's kind of modification a kid might do There is a A rock and roll gun Machine gun which is like a combination of the like a an mg-42 and an m60 But a unique gun and it does have the bipod in the bipod Um, it might be removable, but it's on there pretty solid The bipod is on there pretty solid which which I appreciate And then there's a grunt in 16 and a figure stand We need figure stands. That's good Okay, so and then here's the other bundle Um I do care matt. Thank you very much. I do care. Thank you Okay Yeah, I always assumed this machine gun was an m60 when I was a kid But if you look at it like it has some details of the m60 But some that are definitely not so it is it's kind of a mash-up of a couple different weapons Okay, and then here we have a mortar like the one that came with short fuse If I can get the the stand on It's tight. Come on Okay There So that there's a mortar like the one that came with short fuse there is another figure stand and there is uh a A a bazooka or recoil is rifle like similar to the one that came with zap But it's different. It does not have the sight on it. So it's It's modified. So you will not get this mixed up with your zap Um anti tank recoil is rifle Um, the reason it comes with these alternate accessories is because way back in the day There was like a a jc penny exclusive package set of the cobra A trooper cobra officer with alternate weapons Those are extremely rare sets Very hard to find but This is just kind of an homage To those very rare Um Exclusive sets from like way back in 1982 So that's why it comes with some alternate weapons Um, but the figures themselves Uh the trooper despite the outer packaging artwork The trooper comes does come with the draganov and has the draganov still in the artwork Oh, thank you. Dominic johnson. Thank you for the super chat and thank you for being here. Thank you very much um this this set is The o-ring the new 2022 o-ring cobra trooper and cobra officer These were sent to me by hasbro. They've they've been out for a little while They've been out for a little while, uh Derruti says no sniper rifle the sniper rifle sniper rifle is in with the figure and The officer has The ak-47 and the ak-47 is still in the artwork. So Uh this despite what it shows on the outer box the Carted figures inside are as they were with the vintage. So Yeah, um, Dominic says thanks for doing the all day marathon. Uh, we all enjoy and appreciate it. Thank you And I appreciate you being here. We are somehow back up to 73 People watching that is crazy. That is crazy on a holiday. That's awesome. Thank you very much Uh, so okay now I need to cut I'm gonna cut these off of the card Um Yes, it would be nice to to keep them carded, but This is not collector friendly packaging this knife is getting though. I need to sharpen this knife Mental note to self sharpen this knife, but it'll be okay for now. Look it's unpunched All right, let's let's get this carefully, there we go opening the officer first Because that just happened to be the one that I had in my hand so let's um Let's cut this open Open the officer. Okay. There we go. Hold on Uh chip break chip break. All right. It is free of the card Free of the card And There we go There is our cobra officer Let's pop him out of the plastic And I will place him side by side with The vintage Cobra officer One thing that I'm always concerned about is like I don't want any what buddy to confuse Of a modern retro figure with the vintage um Yeah, the yeah the super seven ones there the super seven ones are A little steep for what you get that's that is something that has been pointed out a few times so There is your your modern o-ring cobra officer Let's put his ak in his hands if they did this right Yeah, this the plastic seems to have a little bit more flex in it. So I think there's less Less danger of breaking the thumbs. That's nice. Hello, wilkinson studios Thank you for being here Um suppressor was the best cobra leader proved me wrong. Well, he did say this I command a lot So if if if issuing a lot of commands makes him the best then I I think you've got it So there's there's that Yeah, the blue does look lighter. Uh, so let me pull the The vintage cobra officer And like at a glance I can already tell that the the the blues are different um, so Like at a glance you should be able to tell these guys apart. So um Like here's the vintage guy Right here and here is the retro o-ring And you can see the the colors are are different This is the best This is the best cobra emblem that I have on a cobra officer and it's not great The silver paint on these guys Was not very robust So it is nice to kind of have a full Silver cobra emblem on the chest But there are these guys side by side Well, let me take a quick gander at them the uh, all right the the the eyes The eyes on the new guy are like they're a little more detailed I guess they have finer lines, but he does have a bit more of a A bug eye look There's there's a little bit of bug eye there. Just just it's uh, yeah, it's just a little bit there So there is that I'm gonna open the other guys, but then what I want to do if I Oops, I've got knocked down one of these If I if my toolbox is around which I think it Where my toolbox Anyway, I got to find my toolbox. I want to I want to take the screw out And What where is my tool? Oh, there it is. All right toolbox is there So I'm going to take the screw out because I want to see how they did the o-rings in this Loses points for getting killed with an arrow. Yes, that's Uh, that that's how a serpentor went down. Um, depending on how Depending on which continuity you follow um Cobra commander was turned into a snake But he got better He got better Okay, so there's this hold on separate all right Let's now open the cobra trooper carefully Must sharpen this knife I didn't realize how dull this knife was getting Yeah, I'm gonna I will do something about that But not right now, okay All right, so The cobra trooper is free from the card Put the card over here Okay, and let's Pull this off There he is now. Let's take the trooper out of the plastic Um, let's see. Yeah, uh, that's right. A serpentor kind of died twice Um Oops, I gotta be careful. I put all these accessories up here And I keep knocking them down. Okay, so let's pull pull this guy out So there's your trooper. Let me put his Weapon in his hand The plastic is a little softer than the vintage figure, which I think is good It still retains some of the detail And it's a bit more of a matte finish But there's much less chance of breaking The thumbs or the crotch so I'm I'm all about the softer plastic that that is fine There's his Little bit of bug-eyed there Little slightly bug-eyed But at least, you know, you're not gonna mistake this for the vintage. Let me pull the vintage one out Okay, okay, so um Yeah, here is the vintage and it is a darker blue Because it's a darker blue the red cobra emblem does not show up as well on the chest on the new one lighter blue Um, and yeah, the red still doesn't show up on the chest very well, but maybe a little better So there are these guys side by side And now that I have them out I would like to Unscrew one of them And since since I have the trooper here in hand I am going to I'm going to unscrew this because I'm I'm really curious about How they did the o-ring Because o-rings Do deteriorate over time They're they're under tension So inevitably Your classic rubber o-ring Will break So I'm just curious of how they handle that With these new figures. So I've got my toolbox here, which is It's a plastic footlocker From like classic gio I'm getting my Getting my screwdriver Getting a drink of water Okay Here we go opening this guy Screwdriver is in Screw is coming out one thing about the return of o-ring figures is that They're more easily customizable Than the modern figures and of course the modern figures were customizable tons of people did customs of the modern figures So it's not like you couldn't customize the modern figures, but with the o-ring figures Just unscrewing one screw and you can pop the whole thing off. There's his head Arms there And you know what? That feels like an o-ring That that I don't know if they used a different material they may have But it feels like it feels like an o-ring It really does So I was curious about that So it's it's a true o-ring figure. It's a true o-ring figure Um Not sure this modern collection will be played with as much I play with my toys a bit, but not as much as when I was young. Yeah. Yeah, I understandable And like these I think almost everything that's being made right now Is for modern like adult collectors. I don't think there's a lot in gio right now That is specifically for kids And like for gio to remain healthy For decades to come that's got to change right you have to bring in new fans If you want longevity So So if gio is going to Continue on for decades to come You you have to have new new fans coming in And I think that's what they were intending to do with the movie, but the movie wasn't super kid friendly Not that it was like had a lot of Adult stuff in it, but it wasn't like fun It's not something a kid would see and like want to see it again But they have they do need to Keep bringing in new and younger fans if they want Gio to be a healthy brand In the decades to come And I'm not going to pretend like I know how to do that Like I've had ideas. I don't know that any of my ideas would work But I don't think there's a whole lot going on about that right now now for me. It's great I get I get stuff like this I get I get some actual fresh brand new o-ring figures And I do like these like These are all right. Uh these you can If you army build the blue shirts If you aren't army build the blue shirts, these can go on your shelf Yeah, the eight-year-old isn't buying a two fiftieth stinker or yeah, that's That that's not realistic. Exactly. That's exactly my point. So they are targeting all this stuff At the nostalgia market And that's fine. I like getting this stuff But for the long long run You know, you got to have new fans coming in you just have to and You don't do that the same way You did when we were kids There there are Media has changed in the last 40 years you know Sometimes kids still watch cartoons sometimes kids still read comics, but there are so many more options out there That just doing it the same way they did back in the 80s I don't think that's gonna bring the kids in like it. It did back then And you got to adjust you got to adjust to modern times. That's what they did in the 80s That doing the comic book doing the animated series Having the animated commercials and all of that that was an adjustment for modern times in the 80s But if you want to sell the kids you have to adjust to modern times now So How to do that? I don't know I'm no expert Um Let's see. Oh When the o-rings were first introduced larry's, uh, Lenny said the o-ring itself would meet a silicon instead of a it could be silicon It it feels like a rubber o-ring to me Um, but it could be silicon. So if that's what they made it out of that's that's good. That's better That's better Um You know actually that that it did it could have been a silicon feel It but it's still very similar to the classic rubber o-ring. So so that's cool. That's cool. Um, anyway, so there's that And silicon may be a bit more durable than you know Then the old rubber one. So that that'll be good Okay, so there are those that we we've taken them off. We've opened them. We've looked at them We evaluate them. They're all right um for me like as a vintage collector If there's something like this that looks like a vintage item, I want people to quickly and easily be able to identify it as not vintage And I think these are I think these are fine Like if you if you put them next to the originals you can tell at a glance At a glance that these are not vintage And that's That's a plus in my column and that's something I worried about a little bit When I knew these were coming out like I want to make sure that nobody Uh is duped or deceived into buying something that wasn't what they intended to buy Because it's awfully discouraging especially when you are a new collector To overpay for something when you thought you were going to get something vintage something You know that's been around for a while And you ended up not getting that That's discouraging and I I don't I don't want anybody to uh be duped into Uh wasting their money, but these I think are fine. These don't do that. I think like they feel different They feel different from a vintage figure Um the the the finish is more matte than the Like the glossy a more glossy finish Vintage figure the color is different The the shoulder rivets are darker different shoulder rivets Uh different different paint on the eyes the accessories like This if I were to drop this in a bag with a vintage Uh Cobra trooper drag on a sniper sniper rifle I could pick out easily pick out which one is the real vintage and which one is the The new one I I can tell the difference at a glance the colors are different. This one just like it's like a little thicker It feels different So that's that's good. That's good Uh, where did I get my joes as a kid? Uh a couple different places There was a kmart that was within walking distance From the house. So we went there sometimes when we had the money There was a variety store Called airway variety Back when I was a kid and they would sometimes have joe stuff. So we get stuff there. That was closer um And otherwise we would go like wherever my parents were shopping We would just go to the toy aisle and like see what they had Uh, we went to toys rs sometimes But everything at toys rs was expensive. So my parents did not like taking us there Because we would go there and of course we were kids. We would want everything so For my parents it was like Always having to say no, you can't have that. No, you can't have that. No, that's too expensive So there were a lot of no's when we went to toys rs. So they didn't take us to toys rs very often But we did get a few things from from toys rs Uh, but that kmart though that was within walking distance. It was a decent walk. It was kind of a far walk But we could do it and when we when we got bikes we could bike there Um, so what we would do is like I would mow lawns. I would mow our lawn. I would mow My grandmother's lawn Any others around the neighborhood? I would just mow. I would mow lawns all summer and it was really hot It was it was not easy, but You know, I get 10 or 20 bucks And that would be enough for for a handful of uh of figures of joe figures. Maybe even a vehicle so Yeah, and I think I think we got our joe stuff that way more than Like uh Christmases and birthdays like we got them sometimes for christmases and birthdays, but not a ton um We uh, we at least I more often got them for myself I'm trying not to lose these so i'm putting them back All right, so that we we did it we did it It only took like 45 minutes. So that's awesome or like really less than that You know, I haven't I took a break. So I haven't been back the whole 45 minutes since the top of the hour Where's my oh that my agenda? What are we doing now? I'll assemble the lego hiss Okay According to the agenda the next thing i'm going to do Uh is open The thing that I can't oh there it is I found it. I found it hold on chip break all right, so Let's see if we can do this um Going to cut this open. How are we doing? I'm sorry. I haven't paid enough attention to the live chat Hello raisiner. Nice to see you. Thank you for being here um Raisiner would order from the catalogs as a kid in the 80s spend all my birthday money on joes. Yeah, that's Um, I did not order from the catalog. So it's kind of cool that you did um I didn't get any mail away stuff, which is a little disappointing especially now but at the time Like I think I think my parents didn't like us sending away for things I mean they were afraid that we were going to waste our money But man, I wanted some of that stuff So as a kid like I never got the hooded cobra commander. I had friends who had it. So I did play with it But I didn't have one for myself Okay, so here we have it We are opening the cobra hiss construction set And I have no idea how this is going to go so Let me figure this out. Sorry to move in the microphone Let's see if I can angle this down There all right, I'll try to keep this In frame as much as I can but oh that makes it hard to read Doing good things for the show. Thank you. Hey, it's Sean Beckett. Hello Sean Beckett Um, and uh, yeah, okay. Sorry though that that's all right It's hard to read that way, but I'm trying to keep this in frame so you can actually watch me assemble So there's that We've got some stickers Including the the seven eight eight sticker And we have some instructions All right, so how does this go? So in only 300 easy steps We will create A his tank so I guess we start here. All right, so For me, I'll try to open this stuff without like Crinkling the plastic too close to the microphone Hold on need ship. Okay There Are all our pieces Oh, um, I see a super chat. I can't read it. Uh, Josiah. Thank you very much. Uh, f l 80s parents were over protected after Adam waltz. Oh, yeah, yeah That's a very good point um Okay now All right, let's see if we can do this Put these out of the way for now All right, so I need What That's interesting. Okay, so it looks like I need one of these No, I need two of these Okay, I got two of these Oops and then one of these That's an odd way to do it. So If you need a flat piece this wide, why not just make a flat piece this wide? Why combine three pieces? I don't know. I I'm no expert Okay, so I need now Two of these And Two of Something that I can't find let's see Not that one Hey, hey, hey Real treads before the haz lab Check that out the construction set You know Uh, scooped the haz lab for real treads Okay So that and one more of those Real treads, man Okay All right, okay got it. So how does that go? Okay, it goes like this It goes like this right? Yes So that goes together See because they designed it this way You have to have extra pieces To hold these pieces together Oh, those that's not the right piece then Those that's too one. Okay My mistake. It's got to be a shorter one So there should be another one of these in there Uh, let's see There it is, okay Is it? No, that's too short. Uh, let's see. Let me let me let me group some of these together Make things a little easier for me in the future Is that it? Yeah, that's it. Okay found it that goes like that Come on there and Oh There we go. Okay. So there's that Uh, what next? Okay, next is Let's see I think that one and okay, so I need two of these and Well, what's the difference? Okay. All right. All right. I think I think I've configured it out, but I need two of these two of these Okay Not that one Not that one I'm grouping these as I go All right. Oh, I see. I see. Okay. So two of those chip Oh handful of chips Yeah, I'm still looking That's it, isn't it? Okay there So there should be one more of each of those there's that one There should be one more of those. Let's see. It's a small one But I'll find it I apologize. It's what the screen pointed down like this. It's hard for me to See the uh live chat, but I will catch up with you guys. I will catch up with you guys. It is vital vital that we complete this his tank So we can Continue our quest for world domination His tank is needed immediately on the battlefield Where is that little guy? I know it's a small piece But I should have seen it by now. I found it found it. Okay. All right. Two of those do those. Okay So what do we do with them? All right interesting. So these Go here Oh my banner fell Oh, well, whatever. Uh, okay, and these go here With little Tabs pointing out Yes Like so And these go here I some of the choices. I mean we we're just getting started But some of the choices that they made here seem a little odd to me It's like breaking somebody's up into separate pieces rather than having one piece that does that Is necessarily going to make it a little less stable Um, okay, so we've done that now we need this And uh, let's see not that Uh, let's see. Where is it? Where is it? Oh, okay and one of these And one of it's just like this but longer Just like this but longer. Where is it? Uh, okay This is riveting stuff, isn't it? This is what you all tune in for We still got like 79 people in here. That's amazing. Thank you to everyone Thank you to everyone who has stuck around I'm I'm for serious. That's that's really awesome Okay, so this is what I'm talking about. Okay, so You've got this piece that goes here This piece that is just like it but shorter that goes here To cover to cover this right but now instead of having a solid piece you have it broken up here And that's like a point where it could come apart. You know what I'm saying Like it whereas if this were a solid piece Um, it would be like less prone to like one of the pieces falling off So you have a a split there that is not necessary that is not necessary for the structure And so this goes here that at least makes sense All right next I need Two of these There's one and two Two of these one and two Oh, there's a whole bunch of those, but I just need two right now And then a big flat piece like that Okay, got it So This goes here Just just imagine guys in a few minutes We will have A hiss tank in front of us that we together Have constructed I don't know if you are thrilled by that but you should be I think you should be This this is thrilling stuff You know, like what are your alternatives watching fireworks Watching colorful explosions Poo poo on that We're building a hiss tank Okay, so um, hey next has lab project. Okay This needs to be the next has lab project um, okay, and This piece Which goes like that Or it tries to go like that. Wow. That does not want to go on Oh, man. Okay found. Okay, figured it out figured out it Sort of okay, so there we go It's taking shape Next step I need a whole bunch of pieces so There, okay these two super long pieces I need Two of these. Where's the other one? I just saw it Just saw it. Okay, two of these Uh, okay, let's try to keep them organized organized here those two those two uh, okay, and These two And one of these. Okay. All right, so this is for the next step Let's see how we do it Interesting so the this Goes here. Okay, and these long ones Go here Right Is that right? Something not right Something not right Hold on That that is the way it says to Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. They hang on off the back Okay, I got it. I got it That was not obvious from the diagram But these pieces need to hang off the back a little bit So fine Whatevs other side There and like okay the the quality of these have been mocked a little bit and I do get that but honestly so far This does feel fairly solid Uh, I'm I have questioned some of the choices on how they broke up these pieces a little bit But it's it's holding together for a minute. I I can't complain too much Uh, okay, so what do I do with this bit? I'm not really sure Oh, okay. Okay. I said there there's some extra instructions down here that explain so this goes like this And this all right and then this goes Like that, right? Uh, if I can fit it on man, that is Like I I okay got it got it like I want to put the pressure on it to make sure it goes on firmly Without popping off the other pieces I thank you all for for hanging with me 77 people in here right now. That is nuts. Thank you all you nutty people for being here on this fine holiday Okay All right, okay got it. Okay, so there's that that is step six completed Next So for this one, I've got to turn it upside down I need four of these Four of these I need four of the The two sided ones the angled ones Where are they? Oh, I need one of these. Okay. No, that's not it Where's the yeah, okay, I need one of these And okay one Two I need two more of those Three and Four, okay got it. These are the step of the the pieces four step Huh? Oh, okay. I get it for step seven Okay, oh no, I missed one. I missed one this this okay So now this is gonna go like this center Like so and this should give it some structural integrity here should Give it a bit more strength Okay These go like this like so Oh, uh, and then the little bit goes here These go here There we go You know, it's It's got to be a challenge producing these Lego compatible construction sets Because if the tolerance is off even a little bit Then it won't work. It won't fit together ah Case in point Ah, okay That's gonna piss me off. All right. It's on. I don't want to play with that anymore this How do these go? I guess they can go either way There yep there There Nope, absolutely not like that Um Yes, like that. Okay Come on. There we go Last one There we go Okay, so here's what we got so far The biggest problem is this piece right here Because to press it on to To these pieces you got to press up right But to for this piece here to press on to this you got to press down So you're either pressing up and popping these off Or pressing down and like popping this whole bottom piece off. So that that's that's the biggest problem right now So what do we have next we have we need this Times two there's the other one and we need these uh These superman pieces Um, and there should be two of those there's the other one. Okay. How does this work? Okay, we got to turn it back over Oh, I see I see at least I think I see Uh, it goes Like this Yes Okay Okay That does not feel solid That does not feel solid at all. It is not solid I see what they're going for I I really do um, but like This is one of those situations where The tolerance may be just off very slightly because it's this needs to This needs to snap on But it doesn't want to okay. I think that's as Ah That is not perfect, but that is as good as that's going to get They pop this back on I do see what they're going for here. I kind of figured this out, but man, yeah You really got to you really got to nail this in order for it to work Okay, that side was a little better That side was a little better Man this okay, this side is really uh, okay To stay on All right. All right that actually completes page one page one completed page two Page two We need six of these little wheels One two three four five and six All right, so they go on It looks like no that they okay, which way do they go on? Which which where's a picture? Okay They don't go on with this side facing in Okay All right this side facing in i'm afraid to pop them on Because i'm afraid like a piece is gonna fly off if I do Wait, it's not that can't be it right That totally is it isn't it Is it really supposed to be that loose it totally is supposed to be that loose. Okay, whatever Whatever man. Oh man. This is uh, yeah, see what that's what i'm saying. It's gonna fall apart Okay This piece i'm telling you this is the most problematic piece of the whole thing Okay, there now wheels on the They're not actually wheels right they're bogies He used to go to there used to be a hamburger place Uh in town called bogies They had a like a a Humphrey Bogart Outside of the front door Humphrey Bogart that dude was an awesome actor. Okay Next step we need the real rubber treads We need the we need what what we need, uh, not one of those Not one of those we need this And Not that Uh, let's see we need one more of these Which is probably staring me right in the face. In fact, there it is. Yeah, okay And we need two just like that but smaller so That is not it Okay Hey, uh, if you see the piece i'm looking for just shout it out Just shout it out shout it directly at your screen We some by some miracle. We still have 76 people Watching that is Amazing I like last time I did this. I think that like this blows away that record. So thank you. Thank you everyone Okay, so which am I gonna do first? I'm gonna I think that it's gonna be more difficult to put these on So i'm gonna do that first So the uh, there are like, uh Um Like slots in the wheels or the bogies whatever for like the little The teeth Inside the treads Now I hope I don't have to stretch these too much because if I do This thing's gonna come apart Yeah Making me nervous Making me real nervous man. This is Okay, all right about got it about got it About got it Okay Okay Let me just make sure it's lined up All right, so there is A working tread on that side dig it Next Same thing the same thing this side You got to stretch it a little bit to fit it over those bogies and that makes me super nervous That something's gonna go flying off of this, but we got it all right Two working treads cool. It it's sort of sort of rolls This is sort of not not a whole lot, but he is fine. Whatever whatever and this hey, this is the um Oh never mind I I don't know what I'm saying Okay Next Let's focus here Uh, all right, so this is the front and for this we need to this needs to go like this And like this so this is a little bit of a departure from the classic his style And is a bit more like the modern his a little bit Um, I don't want to overstate that but I'm just saying that there are some Some differences Whereas ah, dang. I hate this thing the The classic hip his would not have this jutting out piece At the front I hope Something gets put on here that holds this back piece on better because this this sucks I keep had it keeps making me attach things to it, but it doesn't want to have things attached Because it's very very precarious on here. All right, there's that next step All right, a whole bunch of these six of these one two Three That's not it for five and six Okay Look, I I'm no I'm no engineer I'm no lego scientist But I'm just saying this Is this piece right here there this assembly right here very hard to keep on this thing As I put the other stuff on Okay, what else do I need I need two of Uh, not those Let's see these okay Two of these Uh, let's see. Where's the other one? That's not it. That's not it That's not it Uh, it's here somewhere If you see it just shout it out shout it out Don't be shy I need I'm looking for one more of these So yeah, if you see it, well, you know, don't hold back yell it at your screen I if you yell at your screen loudly enough. I can hear you All right. All right. Okay. That's it and then one of Not that these okay one of these okay. All right ready How's this gonna go? All right these go like this I don't know but there we go Like how then really Oh, okay. Okay. I see I see I see so these have got to go How like this Then like this Right Okay So like that This and so basically the same thing on this side Except wait Oh no, it's the the flat side Toward the front so it's got to go this way Flat side toward the front That's what it wants Right like that I think Okay, flat side of the front. Yes, and then like that If I can get it on Okay Wow, 84 people. Thank you for being here. I apologize. I cannot see the live chat right now With my screen tilted down like this, but I promise to catch up with you guys Once I have finished Building this amazing piece This amazing his tank here It's gonna be better than the haz lab tank I mean, I think after seeing this like people are gonna start cancelling their haz lab tank orders How does that go like that? Okay When people realize That they can assemble their own his tank With rubber treads working treads They're gonna be like haz lab. Hell. No, okay. Come on. There we go I I I'm not a lego person. I I don't as a habit collect and assemble lego. So Uh, I Oh, I'm just winging it This thing again All right, how's this supposed to go it goes like that And like rage There Okay That step is done next All right one. Wait, wait, wait, wait one two three four And now the two of these little odd Uh little pyramid shape ones Okay, I can see what it wants me to do and I immediately don't like it Okay, so here's what we're doing. We're basically filling the gaps between these Right You could have done this with one piece on each side, but no instead you have to have eight pieces Which are like a lot more points of possible failure on this Uh Now that came off. Can I get it back on? Get on Okay Every time I have to put a piece on there is a risk That I'm just it's that I'm gonna Uh knock another piece off So the fewer pieces I can put on the better Okay, so now this these have to go on these corners And that worries me because If I put any pressure on this piece it is gonna come off So let's see if I can squeeze it on Please Come on, please Okay, other side Ah See this what I'm talking about It is there's no reason to have this as eight separate pieces. This should be two pieces And look, I don't I don't even care what the rules are for lego. This is just This is just unnecessary More possible points of failure just because of that And Yeah, no, I did that, right? Okay Next step next step Uh lots of pieces holy moly, okay, so but it's going to be the turret assembly. So I need two Of these I need one of these I need This I need this And I need one of these All right, is that everything? two One Oh, no one more of these. Okay All right two one one One one one. Okay. We got it step 13 So we got to put this stuff together first So let's try that So this Is gonna go like this These are gonna go like this Okay Okay, so that's that's kind of like the front end and it's supposed to go on right here Okay, so that's the front end Next the turrets for the turret. I need this and this it goes on how Like so Right Wait, I don't know. Hold on. Let's Hold the phone Hold the phone That doesn't look right. Okay, so it's gotta go like this Man, that is not clear Oh, no, no, I was right. I was right in the first place It goes like that Goes on there This one Uh, I believe just snaps on here All right. All right. So there's that And this goes here Right. Yes If if I can get it on without see this what I'm talking about None of these extra pieces That go up here on the top Will help secure this thing Because any downward pressure on this at all Makes it fall off And then and then we got to deal with this we got these Eight of these pieces Along the sides All of which Can easily fall inward Making it hard to retrieve and put back on Genius well done Okay, there's that Next I need Two of these one of these One of These I think it's the last of these pieces I really don't like those Two of those let's see one two One of these okay, so how does this work? You've got this And then you've got like How does this go this goes like that Then like that There There we go And this goes Where Here Okay, so there's that Such as it is These pieces okay well let's do this first This piece goes Here On the church These pieces go here So yeah, you have you have these angles these clean angles On the sides and that's not a bad idea But then you have these corner pieces and the they're not at the same angle Right that they're not at the same angle So you have smooth lines up to a point But then you have it it's it's broken up What's next is that it that is that that entire step? I guess it is next We need the the canopy. I've been looking forward to this Uh, we oh what's Why do I have two canopies? I have that it has two canopies. I don't know I don't know In case one breaks I guess One of these I need two of these I need two of these and I need two one two. Okay So let's put the canopy pieces together Like how like so Like I would be less worried about the canopy breaking than this connector piece breaking But it's on I think Yikes that is that makes me nervous That it always makes me nervous when I have to put pressure on thin plastic and that these pieces are are thin And you do have to put pressure on okay, uh, okay, so If I did this correctly that should pop on right there Okay There's canopy and an extra one for some damn reason Uh Now Okay, I get it. I get it. I get it. I get it. I get it. I get it. These go here Facing front. Yeah like that These All right. How all right. Let me see how these go on. Okay. I think I get it These go on. Yeah, okay. I get it. I get so these go there One thing I notice immediately is that the the turret rotates But the the guns don't elevate One more and I think are we are we now just left with the With the the minifig Do we just have the minifigure to to do now? Ah Okay All right. I think that's basically it for the assembly Uh, so there is your his tank Yeah, we're gonna put the stickers on I still can't see the live chat. Again I apologize, but here's that Um Okay, uh sticker sheet hopefully has the directions the sticker placement Because this doesn't All right, so no guidance on The sticker placement except for other than the the picture On the box, so I guess I'll follow that although, you know I've assembled a a his tank or two in my time So I guess I probably could do this by memory, but we'll we'll try to do it their way Uh, okay How's that like that doesn't work Uh, okay, let me put the figure together first and I'll I'll worry about that. Where's the other hand? There's the other hand Let's put our his driver together. He looks nothing like a his driver But actually I may kind of like the uniform anyway Uniform may still be all right So I believe this should pop on here Maybe good grief I'm I'm sorry the the thing can make me angry sometimes Like putting being required to put pressure On thin pieces of plastic makes me nervous And when I get nervous I get scared And when I get scared that's when mfers Accidentally get shot That does not want to go it it legit does not want to go Um, so this like this piece goes in here Right this piece goes in here legs go on there arms go in here arms Where's the where's the other arm? Where it's for real? Where's the other arm? Look the the was Was he wounded Is he an amputee? Where where's the other arm? I'm I'm serious. Where's the other arm? Hey, did you guys see another arm around here? Did it fall did I drop it? Did I leave it in the plastic? I don't think so. Oh found it. I found it Yeah, it fell If hang on be right back I thought I thought I got shorted an arm there Okay, so the arms go on pretty easy enough come on I Spoke too soon one of them went on easily enough there And then the legs should pop on right here. They should pop on right here They should pop on right here. All right. Um, okay. Who who made this? forever clever I may have to write a strongly worded Uh letter To the president of your company All right, okay. I've got I gotta pull this out Because that's not gonna work What I have to do Good grief I think I may have to use tools This is ridiculous We're down to we're down to using tools All right, let's see So Attempting to do this without breaking it This should Pop right on it. I said pop right on It should It should pop right on Oh, okay. I got it. I got it I got it ah I got it, but that may be nervous that sounded like breaking plastic to me All right, we got it. I hate it, but we got it All right, let's put the hands on Thumb side in Like so Let's put the head on We're almost done guys. We are gonna make it through this Oh my gosh, okay I I thought this looked like he had a red mustache, but that's supposed to be his his mask It would be pretty hilarious if all his tank drivers were required to grow red mustaches Okay, so there's that There is our his driver Very different from the classic red his driver But I I don't know I I don't know that I mined the black uniform And helmet I think that's all right That's all right. I I can live with that. Let's uh, let's set him aside We'll put him in the tank when we actually finish the tank. We got to put stickers on Okay tools what I'm looking for Can never like be at the top right? We can never just be the first thing I see in here Uh, I probably have too much stuff in here. I should take some of this. Okay found it. Okay tool Yeah, I definitely have too much stuff in here. Some of it. You can just come out, but not right now Not right now. All right. Here we go. Uh, we've got a big gi joe Uh logo, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't go on it Let's start with the seven eight eight. How about that start with the seven eight eight And that goes where okay now that goes here All right, that's A challenge, but I'm here for it. I can do this I can do this I'm gonna put it right like that And I think I can get the other side pretty even with it. I'm pretty sure don't you give me no Don't you give me no sass? Here we go. All right seven eighty eight and this little uh tank symbol Goes directly under it But because they made the stickers both the same It means one of these Will be pain pointing toward the back, but yeah, whatever We work was what we got here. I didn't make the set, right? I I didn't I didn't make the sticker sheet So so cut me some slack man Go ahead and put the headlights on uh, we are this is This is great Uh in uh, okay that cannon came off In in the live chat I would like to know how many of you have canceled your haz lab his tank orders After seeing this and instead you like Looking for this on ebay Because like with this who needs the haz lab tank, right? Uh, the the stickers are all like square cut Because with a black background because it is the lowest possible efforts they could uh They could make these stickers with Okay Thanks for sticking with us 77 people That is cray cray All right remind me to never say cray cray again. I'm sorry That's redonkulous um, okay now these gh7 c whatever that means Goes Under the skirting but Above the treads toward the back Just like that Just like that I do not even know what time it is right now because All of my time pieces are not Uh within the line of sight at the moment. Okay, just like that And there's a piece that almost popped off Okay, now we got like four cobra emblems to put on so that's one two three Where does the the fourth one go in the back? I don't know I guess but here's the thing um Yeah, it wants me to put a cobra sticker right right here But I don't know that that'll fit I don't know that that will fit But let's see. Let's see We're almost done. We've almost made it through this guys like This this is a story we will tell to our children and our grandchildren The afternoon we survived a Livestream assembly Of a his tank construction set. Oh, yeah, it actually says it here decals Uh two vehicles as shown on box and while that's a nice idea the box doesn't actually show The back of the vehicle So it doesn't actually show where this fourth Cobra emblem is supposed to go So That's cute So we need to like talk to Our designers here about about how three dimensions works I'm just popping these off because it'll be impossible to get the sticker on With those on so there's supposed to be a cobra sticker that goes right there But I don't think there's enough room for that. Maybe I'm wrong. Let's see Yeah, we're we're gonna survive this but just barely Just barely It's gonna be the first assembly video with a body count Okay, that that sort of fits not really not very well. It's also not centered, right? But do do I care? Do I care? I don't I'm beyond caring at this point we're like Not halfway through so with with the livestream so man, I I can't get hung up on that. Okay cannons back on and then I can tilt my screen back up And actually talk to you guys Okay There is that It is all it's about 15 minutes from the next break Um, who we got? Hello chad far. Hello fish guys. Nice to see you. Um, hello, tony jackson um Blam blam guns are uh, not apparently. Yeah, that's um Lego has some interesting rules. Uh comic tropes says what kind of gun does the bareness use? Drawing her during the stream today. I don't know if she's well, I don't think that's based on an actual Weapon, I think it's kind of a made-up thing. It's sort of a sniper rifle, but I think some later Later iterations of The artwork may have a different weapon than what she actually came with uh with the vintage figure So I don't I think like a a reference for the for the vintage Accessories is probably your best bet So, okay, let's put Our his driver Yes, yes, I haven't forgotten the mad lips. I haven't forgotten. I haven't forgotten so let's But he doesn't fit Did did I not assemble it right? I'm pretty sure I assembled it right. All right, screw it screw it I'm putting him on the cannon. Like he doesn't have a seat on the cannon Okay, anyway So, um show of hands How many of you all have cancelled your haz lab his tanks now? Now that you know that you can get this Uh, hello lester. Thank you for joining. Hello rexford Um, yes, best cobra thongs in sunbow. Thank you very much Oh, yo, joe never got the bareness. The bareness is a good figure. There's a good figure. So this this is this is what it is Um, it certainly is what it is I did assemble it right. I did Because you can't assemble it any other way But but assembling it this way The figure cannot fit in there The the figure can't fit in there Is he supposed to stand? No, he can't stand either He's but can he recline? No Like but if you like if you try to sit him in Like okay, you can't it it doesn't work Okay, okay. No, no it pops off All right, so so what I'm saying is $300 his tank on haz lab to hades with that I've got all the his tank you can handle right here Um, so that's enough of that Uh, I know it's not I know it's like 15 minutes until break time But man, I'm gassed. I am gassed. I am uh Uh Let's see, um Okay, uh, what we got. Uh, oh, hey, hello peg warmers. Thank you for joining us again A snake eyes couldn't write his bike. I've got the snake eyes one my my kid assembled a snake eyes one and had some less than favorable comments about that And like okay, I could I could get behind so maybe he can't fit the the cockpit Maybe he's got to be a gunner, right? He's got to be a gunner. There's no spot on him on on the gun turret either So this does it fit on And that like the back end does not have any pegs for you know, riding along the back So The figure is just for looks The figure is purely for looks And it's actually not a bad figure like like I do actually kind of like the colors the black and red I I that's that's fine. That's fine. But Whoa, what a load of crap I'm sorry. I I feel like I am hurting the feelings of somebody Who worked at at forever clever And and I do feel like I don't want people to feel bad. Okay. Uh, I don't I'm not attacking you personally I'm sure you're a very hard-working person And you tried very hard Okay, so Not it really is not personal But what a load of crap Um this The minifig is value added. So there you go. It's it's to stand next to it And it's absolutely not to play with it or interact with it in any way uh, so There's there's that and the thing is still like This back piece If I put any pressure on this back piece at all it will fall off because the way they engineered it There's actually like only These two pegs that's all that's holding it on from underneath So that any Any pressure on this at all Will make this whole back piece come off. So I you can just you can't Play with it exactly And you and like you you you you put it on a shelf and here actually that's what i'm gonna do Check this out. I'm gonna do the one thing that you can do with this I want to put it right there and it with with uh With many his tank driver And uh, and there you go I have now demonstrated the entire function and stills for some reason. I have a I have an extra Canopy, but you know what this makes me think of you remember in the last starfighter You know the the alien guy What do we do? We die Remember that guy. That's what this reminds me of From the last starfighter Um, but it comes with two canopies Um, so if I get hungry later, I'll eat this one So how's how's everybody going? Uh, uh, yeah, robert. It's um Can you stick his torso on the turret or in the cockpit plug him in without like The problem with that is the arms You cannot put the arms in a position Where um, he is torso isn't up too high To hit his head on On the canopy So the problem isn't actually the legs. The problem is the arms You'd have to take the arms off and like I guess you could hey you could fit the arms in there Yeah um Yeah, the ha the extra windshield is the has lab tier two unlock. See there you go preview of the has has lab Stretch goal right here There you go That's genius peg warmers. Thank you very much Yeah, about 10 minutes. I'll take a I'll take another break Uh, and I think hey, I think that means we will be at the halfway point. Oh my gosh We've out made it the halfway point um Yeah, I busted out the new england gear. It's a patriotic day And and I don't care who who doesn't like it either I don't care what you have to say about it Go Pats. There we go. Um His sms crimson strike uh con uh, I that it sounds like a part of a conversation that I missed but yeah Uh, can you defeat zur and the codon codan armada? We die Um, yeah, uh Uh, there are six tier spots. Yeah Um, and uh, we don't know I I think the has lab hiss will hit all the tiers. I mean it's on pace to do that Um but um Yeah, no lego hiss. Hey, you know If you need to kill maybe a half hour hour or so you like you jump on it, you know Hey, I I killed You know what what like an hour There is some value in that so hey like not a total loss and like The box looks nice That's pretty good looking box So check out this box of a his tank that looks nothing like the one you get in the box Well, you get a picture there But the artwork looks like it doesn't look like the artwork and look it it features characters in the box arch That looked nothing like the one that you get in the box But hey the artwork looks it looks nice. It looks nice and it's got um It's got like a picture a cross cell for the other options and later tonight We will be assembling The rattler I have that here. It's it's a big box It's this one's a big boy This one's a big boy right here So, yes, we'll uh Well, we'll put that together later After after I've recovered from this one um Yes tack last tier unlocked it give us the classified crystal ball that we are all demanding um What was everyone's favorite go-to team of joes and vehicles back in the day? Like if you had a favorite small team on your own Who or what was in it like for me? I put all the camouflage guys together so like stalker with ripcord and um Uh leather neck and I don't know whoever else had camouflage to go on jungle missions Those guys were were like on every mission really Uh, but yeah, like the box Is the box is a is a box It has the gi jo logo on it So they they got permission to do that Uh, so yeah, I gotta I gotta recover from that. What's next on the agenda? I'm gonna take a break It's about break time And then what yes, I I know mad libs. I know I know mad libs I know it's it's on the list, but it's it's later. It's later um at $30,000 or 30,000 k has lab will add Half an asp that literally that's that's very half half asp um Where are we so oh, okay, okay Uh, what time is it? Oh, man, I'm way bad. I'm way behind schedule So Uh, yeah, I guess next I will open the retro baroness and then And then we will do story time Man, I mean I may have to move the the the mad libs up In order to it's but it's six o'clock So the the comic tropes live stream starts in like an hour I think if I if my mathematics is correct So that's part that's part of the show that I can't move around. So what we'll do is we will open this We will do a compare and contrast with with this And then we will um, we will collectively Watch chris's live stream, but for now, I think it is a good time to uh to take a break Um and because I need one Uh, so time out Time for a break I'm gonna put up the sign. Where is the sign? There is the sign I saw the sign over there. I just opened up my eyes and there it was I saw the sign um Yeah, I I know comic tropes, but I insist I insist. Uh, so yeah, I taking a break time out taking a break I'll try to keep the breaks about the break about the same length as last time But my voice needs a rest My whole person needs a rest Uh, but I'm gonna be back And we're gonna rock and roll. So time out. See you guys later. I'm taking I'm taking the chips with me And I'll be back with you. So hang on everyone Now this you may you you may feel see look it just did a trick You may feel like watching a sign that says be right back is boring, but like I said, this is a trick sign This sign does tricks. So keep an eye on it And you never know what it'll do. Just just watch that sign. Watch it like a hawk. I'll be right back Hey everybody hang loose for me breaks almost over Still got a couple things more things to do then I'll sit back down and get things going again Thanks for your patience Let me put some of this.

I don't know if you noticed I'm getting real old now Uh, where where did I do with my glasses? Um, there's a reason why all of that all that's blurry on the screen right now. I I think I left my Okay, I'll be right back. I can't see anything And we're back Okay, how is everyone? Okay. Uh, what do we got here?

Uh, so I can get The thing that I need for the purpose of of uh Of like guerrilla Watching another youtuber's live stream because that's the kind of wacky thing that I do. I'm I'm a I'm a I'm a Wacky. I'm a wild and crazy guy You know So like how am I gonna entertain you? By having somebody else entertain you Yeah, anyway, so I'm open in the baroness. Um, and let's see. I don't have another hat But I I have this There there we go that's Now I feel not only patriotic But like Like ready for an 80s jazzer size session Uh, so yeah, hold on text Uh Uh-huh Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta Yeah, yeah Just checking texts check checking messages I do have I I have I have a personal life. I do not much of one But I have one. Okay. Let's do this um, let's see, uh Yeah, so I'm a globe try I think all you have to do to be a globe trotter is just to have the sweat bands Like hey, it's sergeant slaughter slaughterhouse. Hello guys. Thank you for your contribution to cobra convergence I encourage everybody again to go and see it I really great seeing you guys. Uh, I know this is strange to you Because it's not a holiday where you are at all, but around these parts It's it's a it's a very important day um It it's it's it's america's birthday. So for america's birthday, let's open the bareness. So i'm for Here's what's coming up I'm gonna actually open this first so I can take the figure out Uh, which end is open Which end is open? Uh, I did put this back in But I didn't retape it right Oh, this is this one's unopened Okay, I'm not gonna open this one. This one's still sealed. So Let me let me find the one that I already have open. Um Time out again I'll be right back, but only in just a few seconds. Hold on a second Here we go We're back. We're back Yeah, so yes, you're gonna draw it. Hey very good. Um, I have not yet used the classified figures as reference for drawings, but kind of would be a good idea because um They have a lot more detail in their uniforms because they're at a larger scale And like take that artwork for instance You were asking about the the weapon that she came with that is not at all Like her classic weapon in that artwork. So they have updated that from time to time All right, so this is my one that has already been open and that I repackaged And I'm just going to take the figure out And I'm gonna unfortunately unfortunately do that too close to the microphone Foiled by sticky tape. Oh, thank you Josiah Uh the slaughterhouse where gas is a celebrity gas should be a celebrity Gas gas is like he's everywhere and he's he's a really cool dude So I don't know if you're here gas right now But gas has been a supporter of the channel for a long time as I like the guy So yeah gas should be a celebrity Um Yeah, so here's this Um, this is the baroness that came with the Cobra coil Cycle I'm not going to take the cycle out, but I'm just going to compare the figures themselves Not the accessories and stuff But there's that Um So this is this is This is our gold standard. This is what we have to Measure against this Is an excellent baroness figure. This is a great baroness figure. I love this Uh, this I think blows away the movie baroness with all respect to the movie This is awesome. This is great. So this Is based on it Same mold, but there are going to be some updates. So let's open it This is one that also got slightly damaged in shipping and once again, I need to remind everybody. Hey, there's gas Cheers gas. Nice to see you here. Thanks for being here Um, this I did not purchase this this was Sent to me by hasbro. So um Maybe that makes me completely biased Uh, who knows You know, I play my cards pretty close to the vest. You never know What what's going on You know between these ears But uh, but just for full disclosure, I did not purchase this. Oh, thank you gas You knew gas was here. Uh, here's someone. Yes, of course gas is always here Well, I probably even when there's no live stream going gas is like here Just somehow he's just here But but that's okay. We like gas we like gas gas a good guy Okay, so once again my my two dull knife that I need to sharpen We're going to cut this off again Well, let's look at the package first not not, um Uh collector friendly packaging you do have to Cut it off of the package to To get the figure out you can't put it back on But it's got modified vintage artwork artwork here And this is the selling point of course for the the retro Figures is the retro style packaging. That's their selling point, right? On the back we have the cross sell I wonder I wonder who these guys could be Who who could that be who knows? But yeah, we got the bairness and we got bairness and lady j there We've got the file card and of course It's in like one two three four five languages This is the problem now If hasbro does file cards Because they are not changing the packaging for different countries Which means that they are going to include all of the languages on one file card and that sucks um I kind of wish they would do the file cards in a different way And like this one. I think good thing about the super seven figures is that they they don't do that They don't have to do this So I mean on the one hand, it's nice to get file cards On the other hand, this is what you get So you decide if that's If that's what you want, but I I would like to see file cards as inserts Rather than on the packaging so you can just do multiple ones like do one for each language rather than like this But then this is supposed to be the retro style packaging So they want to print the file card on the package. So it's a catch 22. What are you gonna do? But anyway, so there's that No idea who these mystery figures could be Can you guess? So, all right, let's let's cut this off Let's cut this off. I'm gonna Do this Carefully There we go I didn't need to sharpen this knife If you ever interview that has routine ask them about the file cards, see that is that's a good point That's another question that I would like to ask them And I don't know if if they want to be asked that question. This is why I like I don't know if I should interview them because I would I would have to ask them all the questions that they probably don't want to be asked um But like that, but that's the thing I want to know the answers to these questions. That's why I want to ask So, uh, yeah, I don't know. So here here we go The blister is free from the card. So there's the card without the blister Setting that over here Getting a little cluttered around here. So here is the Good lord, okay There's the outer uh shell here is the The figure stand it is similar to the 25th and 30th anniversary figure stands the modern four inch figure figure stands except It does not Have the character name on it It has the cobra it has the pegs But it does not have the character name printed on the stand like the older ones did So there's that Here is the figure and the accessories Uh, let's take those out How shall we take these out? I'm gonna take the Rifles out first That's interesting Huh, okay, that's interesting this. Oh, you know what? This was the one that came with the cobra trooper, isn't it? Where's my cobra trooper? I'll see I'll see if I can find the cobra trooper Um, all right. I think I could safely take the figure out now One thing that is immediately noticeable On this In comparison with the other one, there's the figure we will look at it is the the glasses are removable They were not removable on this one, which I think is a a good thing Because like something this small is going to get lost like instantly Saves of a few pennies not putting the name on the stand of absolutely There's no question about why they do it I'm just pointing out that that's what they're doing. But I I don't think there's any mystery why um, so Uh, I'm gonna very carefully remove the glasses from the packaging So yeah, yeah, look at this There are the glasses Now I will say this is fairly solid plastic. Uh, it does not feel like it's gonna bend or break. So that's nice That's nice. Uh gas says looks better without the name on the stand to me and that's fine that Uh, you absolutely can have your preferences. I actually don't really have a preference either way Um, I just want to point it out. So you are aware So there are the glasses Um, here are the two pistols Before I get too involved, I want to see if I can find my cobra trooper because Okay, there's one of the pistols Because I think that rifle is from the cobra trooper And I if it is I want to point out something about I think both of these are okay The two pistols are out. Everything is out of this. Hang on. I think the trooper is right up there one second one second My area is getting quite cluttered here time out. Be right back. Um Oh, yeah, yeah, um Yeah, say face the stand backward if you don't want to see that. Yeah, I like, um Like I I really don't have a preference. I In fact, I I'm just glad that it comes with figure stands You know what the standard issue classified figures don't come with they don't come with figure stands at all So this is whether it has the name on it or not That's a bonus that This figure Does not come with hang on a second. I gotta I gotta see Time actually stay right there. Stay right there Right back. I just need to see Okay All right, there's the cobra trooper because two of these weapons come from The cobra trooper Okay, so let's let's put this Figure together first. Let's put the glasses on and I immediately noticed something that like That probably is all right. This is the original. This is the new one. Okay one thing that is um Probably on the original but isn't very noticeable is the the The slots for the glasses on the face On the side of the head. You see that? So that's where the glasses are gonna slot in and hopefully Hopefully it will hold in well now doing it that way May very well help the the glasses stay on which is good but what that means is It's you can't really display it without the glasses because without the glasses she has these Dents in her head so Come on Okay, like I don't mind if it's a little bit difficult to get on. I just want it to stay on With something this small. I do not want it to fall off. I want it to stay on really solidly Right exactly peg warmers. Uh, if you display her without the glasses, she's got dents on her head And and like I said this one probably does too, but the glasses are not removable. So you won't see it Yeah, final tier for the his tank give us figure stands for all the previous figures. They've released without figure stands Uh, so there you go. Is that is that on well? That's that's as good as I can get it So there there's her glasses sexy glasses Yeah sexy librarian look There you go, uh the pistols like with the other figure go in this holster in the back So, let's see. How do they go? It's with the grips in yeah With the grips in like that because like in theory She's gonna reach back like that and she's gonna reach back like that and pull the pistols out But that doesn't work But that is the way it's supposed to go isn't it? No, okay It is supposed to go with the grips out. Okay, that's It's not shaped that way, but we're it it works That that works better. Okay All right, there we go so all right On the pistol belt grips out There we go. She's gonna reach back Whip that pistol out shoot you with it Okay, so there's that and then we have these two Rifles here Okay, so a long sniper rifle and an Assault rifle laser gun whatever Um, the reason I got this um This trooper out. It's because it looks like both of these Yeah, whoa, whoa Something fall. Yeah, hold on Oh the knife. Where's the where did the knife go? Ah Okay Yeah, all right, so I've got to find my cobra trooper knife hang on Well the tape didn't cover him Okay, no, I don't I don't want to get caught up in that. Okay, but I do also not want okay found the knife found the knife okay, so I'm going to attempt to pop these out Oh, wow, they are identical aren't they? like they're not even There's not even a color difference This is the one that came with the cobra trooper. This is the one that comes with barenice and it is a straight reissue but There's kind of an issue with that. I'm going to get to it. I'm getting to it. I'm getting to it Hang on Hang on I'm getting to it. There we go All right, so there there is the cobra trooper sniper rifle And there is the barenice sniper rifle and they all they at least to my eye They look identical. No, there's a slight difference Oh, that's a very slight difference But hang on. Okay Now I got to see something I got to see something See that doesn't work Okay, here's my point. Let me pull the figure out Here's my point. I have a point stick with me. I've got a point all 72 of you Stick with me. I do have a point. I got it. I just got to take this trooper out Come here. I'm trying not to crinkle the plastic near the microphone. Okay Please nothing else fall out of there. Okay. Here's the thing All right, this is the trooper. This is the barenice. Oh, there might be like a very slight difference in like the finish If there's any difference, it's very slight, but that's not the that's not the issue All right. All right. So on for the true for the cobra trooper On the back of his vest. He has These two holes and those two holes are for these pegs On the rifle. Okay So he can peg his rifles On his back, but of course like only one at a time because the the holes are too close, but the point is he can Uh, maybe he can do both. Let's see That one there Yeah, he can hold both. Okay, so you can peg the rifles On the back All right, so that's on the trooper. So these were reissued for the barenice And they still have The pegs right they still have the pegs and I'm looking on the figure And the figure does not seem to have anything to peg them to She does have Palpatine 1975 says good morning. Good morning to you. Thank you for being here Uh, yeah, six inch figures shouldn't have big pegs on their guns. That's exactly my point peg warmers You are you see you're you're following you're you're tracking you're tracking exactly where I'm going So like there is a a hole in the back of the figure, which maybe you could put this in but she has the hair that like So now like you can move her head back and now her head is tilted forward because like the hair piece Interfers with the gun. So that is the only place I can see on this figure where you can peg The weapon on these figures, but the weapons still have the pegs and the pegs are a little bit unsightly that is That don't look right So like I understand I understand we are reissuing things. We are not creating any new tooling I understand I look I I think I honestly think that the like hasbro's frugality is like a cultural thing from from new england. I it's uh It's something that I see in in some of my new england friends. I I get it. I get it you know But but but it's got pegs It has got nothing to peg into So that's Weird Okay, so there there's that So now let's uh, let's let's Let's let's do this. Let's put Okay, let's put the weapons in the the hands if we can But because this has Kind of a closed grip there It's going to be a challenge Let's figure this out Figure it out. Let's let's get it on Fortunately the hands are bendable and kind of stretchy. So You should be able to bend the fingers around it. I say that But I'm having a have oh, we got it. I got it. I got it Okay, so there is the sniper rifle and honestly it this is sort of reminiscent of the Baroness Uh version one weapon. Uh, it's sort of like a cross between the baroness weapon and the Cobra troopers weapon because it's much larger Than the cobra troopers version one sniper rifle And the baroness's original weapon was oversized So let's put the other one in the hand Let's get it. Let's put the whole thing together. Let's put the whole thing together and take a look at it Let's let's see it Let's see it all together Let's see the baroness in the all together Hello, Yorktown Joe. Thanks for being here. But without the pegs, how would they, uh, rack to the side load of the nerf darts. Yeah, that's Thank you for bringing that up some of these classified Joe weapons are based on Nerf designs Which Is a little amusing Um, yeah Yeah, so there there's that Uh decided to draw her in more of her animated form. That's a good choice She looked good in the animated series. That is awesome And thank you tronkomic tropes for for for drawing the baroness and for everything else you do So there is the figure completely assembled on her stand With the pistols in the holster with both of the weapons and yes, they're pegs sticking out So There you have it now i'm gonna i'm gonna take the weapons out of the hands Because I want to do a side-by-side with The first release baroness figure the one with the coil motorcycle So let's do that I guess I can leave the pistols in although like I did not get the other baroness's pistols out but But that's okay. Let me hold on. Let me let me take a gander at this That's that's really interesting Okay, all right Okay, like one thing that I notice is They're actually pretty close Um, that they're actually pretty close really Um side-by-side So some differences, okay On the sorry on the original The first issue There are some subtle paint applications In like a really dark gray on some of the panels of her uniform Okay, so that's a really nice subtle color change on there, which which I think is great That's awesome. It's really really nice attention to detail on that And yes chad no backpack no backpack on it Um, and that's not the case on this one. So For this it's all black and it's like uh alternates between a matte black and a glossy black That is a bit more like the vintage figure the vintage figure was all black with really just the the red cobra emblem on the chest Um So you do not have the the subtle color differences That you had on the the first run and There's no paint on the buckle on her belt That is red On this It is just This black plastic color on this one Um, also as mentioned before glasses removable, but like Yeah, they they they are the same glasses, but On the first figure The glasses the frames have Some gold on them Little spots of gold not so on this one But it looks like the same piece. It's just like Um, these glasses are not glued in Whereas these are these are not removable So, uh, yeah, this honestly The figures are are really close And if you missed out on the on the Beariness with the coil motorcycle, this is an excellent substitute You're getting very nearly the same figure Not the same accessories. Um, the original had gold pistols These just has black pistols the other one had a variety of different weapons Which is the best that's a fair question comic tropes. The the original is still better Uh, the original does have okay the reason the original is still better Is because it does have the extra bits, right? It has the extra on, um On the glasses It has the subtle color changes, uh, color differences on the The uniform It has the paint on the belts And if you add those up, it's not a great difference. It's not a huge difference, but it's a difference So if there's a better one, it's it's got to be the first one Right, it's this this is a fantastic Beariness figure. This is a great beariness figure. Um But this is also really good So absolutely if you missed out on the first one You'll probably be pretty satisfied Uh with this one Some of the earliest promo art those gold spots on our glasses were little snakes. See that would have been nice That that would have been nice The detail on that may have been so small that you might not have been able to see it even at this scale but still, you know Nice little nice little detail there Um, we'd like to see them use the comp chip figure stands like the star wars episode one figures Oh, yeah. Yeah. I know what you're talking about Uh, use lines from the sunbow cartoon that that would be clever. Actually that that would be I think I think some folks would dig that How do the faces compare here? Here are the faces side by side It's uh the Man, they're really close Like they're there. I think there's a subtle Uh difference in the skin color like the the new one I think has Very slightly lighter color skin almost unnoticeable Uh, like the the makeup appears to be the same lipstick is the same the hair the hair piece the appears to be the same And obviously the mold is the same but they're using the same tooling They're they're they're trying to to update this as little as possible Right, so they're they're not wanting to change very much and they sure didn't change very much Um, but there you go. They're the the two side by side Isn't it wild that the vintage like never had a second bareness that is true But if the line had continued to 1995 it had if it had not been canceled in 1994 There was going to be an updated bareness figure. In fact, um, I mentioned on the previous livestream at joe fest when I went to see um Dan clean and smith and get one of his books. He had a prototype of the Second version of bareness with him and I we got to see it me and a another guy that was at his table So, yeah, there was a planned bareness uh, but um But but it would never released because the line was canceled Uh scarlet was the only female with more than one version I think yeah, uh because scarlet had the ninja force Uh cover girl did not get a second version the bareness did not get a second version Zorana did not get a second version Uh, so yeah, uh, but there was going to be one It just never never got out Uh, so so there you go. There's a side by side. I do still like the first one better, but But like I said, this is this is good. This is an excellent substitute They're starting with um With a great figure to begin with so it's like They're starting with a good foundation And like I said, if you missed to the first time around And you don't mind getting it without the motorcycle This is great This is great So that's awesome Uh, so what's what's not awesome again pointing it out Giant pegs on the on the weapons um non collector friendly packaging uh Truncated text on the file card So that they can do five different languages on it Yeah, but like the artwork is pretty good Based on the vintage artwork, but updated not exactly like the vintage artwork, but uh, yeah, so that's That is the retro Baroness six inch figure And what time is it it is 642 it is going to be time pretty soon ish um to raid To to raid uh chris's livestream, but to do that I want to get my Uh, my tripod for my phone, which is should be in My backpack, which is in there. So I'm going I'm not taking a break Actually, I'm not doing anything yet. I'm going to set this over here I'm going to put my cobra trooper back In his box I'm going to go get my tripod out of my backpack uh, and then we are going to uh You know, I I did not ask chris permission to do this And I feel kind of bad about that um Sorry Sorry um And I would say hey like it's a great promotion for for comic tropes and like comic the um The the second channel chris's second channel, which not as many people know about but honestly A lot of people already know about it Uh, it's cobra time. That's what see Uh, vitus is he know what time it is Oh bart is back. Hey bart you missed the baroness You'll have to roll that one back But I'm I'm trying to put my cobra trooper classified guy back in the packaging And I'm gonna have to get some oh, hey, I've got tape like and there's tape within reach There is tape right here. So I can tape these stupid accessories back Yeah, I I I wanted to make a point and show something from the cobra trooper That was relevant to uh, this uh This baroness figure But when I opened it everything just went flying Uh, so let's put these back I could say oh my god. I can't I mixed up the uh The trooper and the baroness accessories, but they're basically the same There's nothing to mix up there Okay, that one's in That one's in That one is On I'm gonna tape that down I remembered something that I wanted to talk about so Uh, we know that hasbro is moving away from plastic in their packaging They're going to no plastic packaging And we I was saying that like it depends on how they execute it, right? Well, we've seen some of it now We've seen a little bit of how they're wanting to execute it and I did have some thoughts about it Um Now I guess I won't go into too much depth, but like the the vehicles The tiger force duke with the the tiger Tiger force ram motorcycle I think that looks fine. I think we're pretty used to getting um Just artwork on vehicle boxes like look at all those, you know, that's That's what we got, you know, that that was pretty standard for Vintage vehicles Kamakura though The figure that they've shown I like Part of it's just like I'm not a fan of that style of artwork And I might like it better if it if it if the artwork were different um on the other hand like the adam riches artwork for uh for Sergeant slaughter does look pretty good So I'm trying to withhold judgment until I can actually get a proper sample to judge with I am not a fan of the kamakura box But the sergeant slaughter box may be fine Oh, uh, donnie says, uh, hey team. Hello from the uk. Hello uk from the united states Thank you for, uh, our independence. It wasn't necessarily voluntary, but thanks anyway Uh, thank and thanks for being here. That's awesome. Oh a cobra cobra island is back too. Thank you for being back Um, and it is like I'm not going to take a break exactly um You know, I just like having this be this uh baronist figure out here So I'm not going to put this back in the box right away. I'm just going to hang on to it for a while um, and then I'm going to get my tripod for my phone we are going to uh Kamatrope says Man, it helps if I put my Where are my glasses else kamatrope says something Um, I think the alibiper had some of the best art. Yeah, alibiper art is good I haven't been able to get to that yet But uh, but I would like to look at it But the classified series it does not have a unified art style They use a different art style for each character and that can be okay. That can work But that what that means though is that the art styles are very uneven And most of us have some kind of preference for like what kind of art we like And what that means is that some of it you're going to like and some of it you're not um, so There's that And yes for me some of it I like and some of it I don't like this is pretty good. I like this Like that that's not bad But some of the the the simpler artwork the comic book style artwork the line art Uh to do something like that you've got to add some detail to it So it's artwork that would be fine for the an interior page of a comic book Is not necessarily fine for A package that's trying to sell the thing that's in it like you've really got to make that look good So yeah, um sergeant slaughter is a San Diego comic con exclusive, but will be sold on Hasbro post everyone. That's correct. Yes And uh They they have shown off some of the artwork for that And I think it looks good. I really do and I'm I'm I will be getting the sergeant slaughter figure That is one that I will not miss so So yeah, so I'm just going to keep this bareness figure around because I like it Uh, but I need to take like a A 60 second break So that I can go get the stuff I need for the next phase Of this 12 hour livestream. We are more than halfway We are more than halfway. Hang on guys I'm not even gonna put up the brake sign because I'm gonna be right back. Just chill just for a second. All right Here we go and uh to anyone who was curious, which is exactly no one Um dinner is in the oven. That's one of the things I did on my last break is I put dinner in the oven So here we go. Uh, all right. Let's uh Wow, I really can't read a damn thing without these now like this. That's what age does to you um All right, uh Uh, Jeff Butler, I don't know if I've said hello to you but hello and welcome to the show um Cue music on hold. Yeah, see that's that's what I need. I need music Okay, so I've got I've got this That my phone fits in and like if I Wanted to record a vlog or something. Uh, this is how I could do it, right? But I'm not doing that what we're gonna do uh is We are going to um, I think it needs to go this way. We are going to uh, watch Uh chris's livestream Um Without without his permission. He could be very angry with me. He could be very upset um, but But I you know I I'm a wild and crazy guy You know, I I am untamed It's not it's not exactly a selfie stick. It's it's a tripod Uh, but I guess you could use it for that it actually does. No, it wouldn't work very well for that At all because it doesn't tilt that way it it doesn't It actually wouldn't make a a very good selfie stick. Um But uh, yeah, so I yeah, I'm I'm wild and untamed Oh, I have I'd see now. I I have comic tropes as permission. So now I don't want to do it Like if I'm not being a rebel Then then what's the point? But I'll do it anyway. I'll do it I'll do it um So yeah, so when that when that gets rolling we'll get this going but I can't put it there because like the The reflect I gotta I gotta put it somewhere where it won't reflect That's gonna be I'll figure it out. I'll figure it out I'll figure it out Um, I thank you match. Thank you very much um He's putting on a shirt that I'd wear that's interesting. Okay intriguing. I am intrigued Um, I'm I'm wearing my workout clothes I did do a 5k this morning in the case of those of you missed it. I I Did an unplanned 5k this morning You know just being there for a moral support for a friend And she's like, hey, why don't you walk with me? So I did and I wasn't planning on it. So I did I did an unplanned 5k Uh this morning Um, I I know of nothing else to do with this. I know of nothing else to do with this extra canopy Um Yes, I'm a loner dotty a rebel I'm a rebel without a clue um Yeah, what you got? Yeah, obviously like I'm one of those long-haired hippies, you know I I just have it out for society I mean you just look at me Just look at me and you can tell That that I am a social rebel and I've got it out Uh for society. I'm I'm one anti social dude You know Just look at my face and you don't even have to tell you Was big boy yelling at you while doing the 5k, you know, that might have been better motivation That that might have been motivation um Yeah, so like I uh Like last night, uh, my friend was like, hey, I'm doing this 5k Uh tomorrow why don't you come? I was like, oh, okay, sure um So yeah, I got up when my alarm went off I went uh out there for moral support, right? I was just gonna stand on the sidewalk and wave Um, and she was not running because she had her kid in a stroller. So she was kind of pushing the stroller And then she sends a message says, hey, why don't you walk with me? And I'm like, okay, okay Sure, like you're like half a mile up ahead But sure I'll catch up But but I did catch up and then we walked the rest of the way. So yeah, I did it I did an unplanned 5k this morning Uh, it was hot Hot and humid, but I survived barely I barely survived Uh, yeah, I'm just keeping oh, yeah, I just noticed another thing like the the paint The rings on the straps on the boots That is not Not on the new one. So yeah, just those small little things They cut those paint applications. No doubt saved them A few pennies per figure and Hasbro's always about that Um, I just I just like I just like this Baroness figure. I'm gonna I'm I'm keeping it here That is an excellent Baroness figure and I tell you like I mentioned before I didn't know that if I was gonna like the classified series I really just got it to be supportive Uh, but then when I got them in hand, I ended up really liking them And this is one of the figures that really sold me on the classified series. This is a great figure Um Let's see, uh, uh, Cobra Island, uh, my cat Alexa was a surprise guest in my c66 Video. She is such a divi diva cats do that cats See my daughter was staying here for a while my oldest daughter and she brought her cats That's a mama cat and three kittens. So four cats and um Yeah, cats um Adorable little fuzzballs Certainly, but also destructive little fuzzballs Uh, also, I'm allergic to them, but I'm allergic to cats and yet I have lived with cats for Many years. I mean, I don't live with one now the cats are gone now, but but I have lived with cats for quite some time Um, but yeah the cats. Yeah, they they just have their own way. It's like I'm I'm walking here now I don't care that you're shooting a video. I'm walking here Uh, anyway, so yeah Um, I'm just I'm I'm keeping the Baroness right here Because I like this figure, but that that is one of the figures that really sold me on the classified series It's a very solid figure A great rendition of the Baroness and really kind of add some of the detail that Uh, that you can get at the six inch scale. That's harder to get At the three and three quarter inch scale. It is time ladies and gentlemen.

Isn't it? um Why exactly do we call it football?

I really like that Uh cobra island planning on start a live stream need to uh first guest when I started on launch in a few weeks Okay, cool. Cool. We'll look for that Target will still has free shipping if you order a few figures at a time. That's nice Oh, that's nice. Hey, hey, I uh, let's see, um Uh, vitrus likes captain gridiron. I mean, that's that's a pretty good one The captain gridiron figure is not as bad as a lot of people Uh seem to think it is like it's it's really not Terrible. It's just kind of corny It's just kind of corny with a like really leaning into that football theme That's how they're gonna play. Um, I I feel like I'm on the sideline here Um Which stream are training? I am watching uh the pros and cons Livestream, which is the second channel for comic tropes So this is chris from comic tropes on his second channel and I have I'm hijacking I am hijacking his transmission.

I will leave you With uh with chris momentarily Or we're gonna get a cobra commander impression That's I It's kind of like the crypt keeper, but it's close. Well, it's like a cross between cobra commander and the crypt keeper Um, oh, that's a good point gas Cutter had had the red socks cap so that that should be included He had a little bit of a sports theme as well and bazooka bazooka had the the steve grogan jersey. So yeah Um, oh, uh, let's see. Uh cobra island pretty much asking you. Yeah, um, I could do that We just need to coordinate it. Uh, so yeah, well, we can talk about that. No problem cobra island. Thank you. Um, Dinner's done cobra style if you're on a range viper diet, you should be eating a wild snake Well, how do you know i'm not eating a wild snake? Maybe I am It's beyond multitasking Uh, so yeah, we got like I got food coming pretty soon Uh worlds without end without end without I see yeah, so your town Joe gets it Um So Yeah, I'm I'm my my workspace here has gotten a little cluttered, um I've got I finished my my yo-jo jacket treatment. I'm feeling much better Um For later I've got pig skin commandos, which we should watch together I keep wanting to check my phone, but it's right there Anybody else feel lost without their phone like handy Um, I have no idea if this is a good idea or not, but I I'm I fly by the seat of my pants. I'm basically exactly the same as maverick from that top gun I I look like maverick from the top gun I act like maverick from the top gun. You never know when I'm gonna buzz the tower So, uh We're we're cruising with it. So yeah, but I won't do the both hours. So he his show runs for two hours, but I wanted to Uh join for at least Uh the the first hour and watch him do some of his baron is drawing He's uh pencil it out. He's gonna ink the baron is drawing and I've got My classified baron is here Um, I have my retro baron is here Why don't I just you know, you can't see it because it's below the frame, but I I can put it right there I I can look at both of them Um, these are really good action figures. These are really good figures Circumstances, let's see exactly what's uh cobra island will take the mountain dew So you're you're saying you prefer the mountain dew to the yo-jo jock itch treatment I found this in my props box the the sleeve Because when I did the cap of gridiron, um review I I did this gag with the the jock itch treatment And I forgot that I that I actually kept the the paper sleeve. I forgot I kept this um Yeah, okay. Oh, I can rest my eyes just a little bit Uh, well, how's how's hold on how how's dinner come along? Oh, it's it's actually done. It's time to take my food out of the oven I'll be right back talk amongst yourself. This is not a break.

I really haven't seen in a while Um, so I like I forget all of the stuff that's in them Um So it's amusing to go back and watch them. It's sometimes it's like watching them anew because I haven't seen him in such a long time Um, uh, hey guys prepare for a live stream for your schedule. Okay. Yeah, uh, so that'll be cool Uh Yeah, I don't uh like, um, I don't know how Uh, how much cobra island has planned that but uh, yeah, I just I need to make sure I get it on my calendar We're getting we're getting some comic book information here comic book info The dk episodes brought a lot of humor to the line that that is true That is true. I I don't know that all of the humor was intentional, but it definitely brought Some humor to the line that that's that's for sure um And frankly, I don't see anything all that wild About playing football with tanks I mean, why couldn't you play football with tanks? um Yeah, so, uh, let me let me find the disc and actually While i'm waiting for my food to cool Um, I can Pop this in the dvd player and at least get that ready Okay disc two This is disc two let me get this ready come on these okay one one Little quibble the the cases for these Deak dvds like are really fragile and like All of them tend to like break That's very annoying.

I have food But it's really hot. It's got to cool down for a little bit. Oh, yeah chasing Amy. Uh, I remember that It's been a while since I've seen some of those old kevin smith movies. I think I've seen all of them What can I say without giving it away? Uh, but yeah, it's been a while. Uh kevin smith. That's one that I don't revisit all that often Although I I I kind of remember liking them at the time Um, so yeah series two this um This one includes operation dragon fire and honestly, I don't think operation dragon fire is too bad Yeah, I guess it's all right Uh, it's it's not sorry on the level of the sunbow series, but But uh, but it's for deeks. It's definitely not Too bad, you know, I actually haven't heard any fireworks here yet But we will hear them later We will hear them Or at least I will I don't know if it'll come through the microphone Um Thank you cobra island. Thank you Joe's responded by airlifting several avalanches hammers and mobile valve bunkers by parachute. Yeah, yeah, yep Um, I've not seen all of kevin smith's movies. I've seen uh clerks dogma jane silent bob strike back and that's about it Yeah, I mean he had a few others um There was like mall rats and chasing amy and then he did that one with um With ben afleck, uh, the the name of which I can't remember The it was not terribly well received. I can't remember what it was Like Kevin smith, he's one of these guys where I'd say like For the most part. I like his movies. I don't know that I would call myself a kevin smith fan Um The animated commercials of late a's make me wish the sunbow cartoon had continued. Yeah, the Even after the series was over Uh, they still did some commercials in that style uh, like the The commercial for the warthog and sergeant slaughter The commercial for the uh for tiger force That was all after the sunbow series was canceled Oh, uh, congratulations on five years cobra island. Congratulations jersey girl. Thank you jeffrey With steaks they can't seem to be able to yeah jersey girl that that's yeah, that's the one But uh, yeah, so kevin smith Like I really like clerks and now I you know, actually there was a clerks two and I don't think I ever saw it I don't think I ever saw it Oh, hello explorie. So nice to see you at 84 baron's figures one of my uh Few figures I still have from childhood. That's cool. It's cool that you have any from childhood. So that's awesome Um tiger force commercial even used neil ross as dusty duke is back. Yeah um That was my phone buzzing and I don't know what it is So I whoever sent me anything I can't look at it because I'm doing this There's gonna be a clerks three. Do we need a clerks three? I don't know. I guess I gotta watch clerks two Clerks two is good three is coming out soon. Okay. All right. I'm glad there's a vote of confidence for it I just I just haven't seen it I just haven't seen it. Um, the these are tour filmmakers Um for me are kind of hit and miss kind of like Like quentin tarantino like Quentin Tarantino is an our tour filmmaker and some of his stuff. I really like some of it. I really don't so You know, but that's my personal preference Um Hey, it's robber is airy. Thank you for being here robber is airy How are things going still still sane? Do I look sane? I'm showing somebody else's live stream on my live stream That's zany That's nuts Uh, Kevin Smith's treatment of master of the universe. Uh, yeah, I haven't seen that either So I can't like I can't judge things that I haven't seen and I haven't seen it But then I'm not really a big masters of the universe fan so you know Um Another jeff Like you're the second jeff to say a clerks two is good. I will take your word for it Actually, I won't I'll I'll watch it sometime. I just haven't seen it yet. I just You know, that one got by me. I don't I don't watch every movie and I missed that one um Yes, it's just the cobra in me. I'm I'm I'm just a cobra kind of guy um But yeah, I actually, you know, I was worried about being able to fill the time Uh, but it's actually going a little better than I expected because like the building of the the pseudo lego his tank This disaster And the the drawing the sketch of the the techno viper um This thing it took Longer than I expected Which is good. That's helpful because I gotta fill 12 hours I gotta I gotta I gotta a lot I gotta I gotta I gotta a lot of uh material that I have to come up with so It actually helps if a couple of things take a little longer Then I expected it to take Uh, so, uh, yeah, so so we're what we are right now watching comic tropes' live stream on his alternate channel pros and cons He usually starts his live stream by talking about some comic books And then he is going to draw or actually ink. He's going to ink a drawing of the bareness And I did earlier take a look at The retro bareness or actually this is the retro bareness the retro bareness in comparison with The bareness from the coil Uh motorcycle set Cobra island says cobra la la la la la la will follow la la la la la la Um Oh, yeah, they did a clerks cartoon. I totally forgot about that They did a clerks cartoon man Until you mentioned that I I haven't thought about that for years and I completely forgot about that Wow Yeah, um Anyway, so, uh, yeah, we're we're hanging out Watching chris on the live stream on his live stream while also live streaming Because I am nothing if not unconventional and he's gonna he's gonna Uh do a bareness here and we're gonna we're gonna watch that and we're gonna judge it We're gonna we're gonna judge it harshly Because I am one mean son of a gun. Oh, hey, hey white big it is here. Uh, hello, uh white vegeta. I think I keep pronouncing your name wrong Dude Wv hi, how's it going? Nice to see you again. Thank you for being here Um, so yes, this is uh wolverine Or patch Uh, yeah, it was about 20 years ago. It's it's crazy that that much time has passed It's it's amazing that that much time Is uh is under the bridge. I Like the the year is Yes, like veggie white vegeta. I am sorry. I apologize for mispronouncing your name all this time And you're very polite to not correct me, but thank you Thank you soft. Gee. I will do my best to remember that Um, it reminds me of mark cober island got a transformer back to the future mashup delorean Yeah, I have seen that and it looked pretty cool. Um, I am a big fan of back to the future I'm probably a bigger fan of back to the future than Uh than transformers But the delorean is pretty sweet And I can I could get behind a transformer delorean Um And see jeff liked the master of the universe revelation I haven't seen it. So I I can't pass judgment and I'm not I'm not a huge like master of the universe fan so like it's not high on my Uh priority list to see but I you know, I'll try to catch it That's one of my rules is that I I cannot pass judgment on anything that I haven't actually seen Uh to evaluate. Hey, it's what's on joe mind another cober convergence member Hello and welcome to america's birthday. Where the hell are the singing cats? They're coming up along with the dancing girls We we teased some dancing girls the dancing girls Any minute now Any minute the dancing girls will will come up will hit Um, and I think the the singing cats are right after the dancing girls Uh, so uh, so hello what's on joe mind. Thank you for being here Um, I have completely lost my mind by now I'm watching a live stream within a live stream And and eventually, you know, we're gonna get past the where he has the comic book section And then he's gonna do some artwork of the baroness Uh, and we're gonna stick through that actually, um I I think my my food is cooled down enough that I can actually eat it. So I'm gonna get some food Wait for me just a second. I'll be right back. This is not a break. This is not a break This is just me getting up to get food. So hang loose Um, this baroness figure is She's just peeking up above the frame at you and judging you So I'll leave you with with with judgy baroness And I'll be right back right back Getting a show you thinking man, I wouldn't be surprised if it was like a streaming show. It's not the biggest story in the world It's good, you know, ron garney doing some excellent work ron garney had a nice run on things like captain america and gi joe actually um Yeah, it's a little bit like vandal savage. It is a little bit like that to be honest. It is a little bit like that dc super I would definitely do a video on bill sinkevich at some point. Yeah Big fan of his work Um ever read scott pilgrim loves scott pilgrim loves scott pilgrim. That's another artist. I would love to discuss So yeah, there's so many ideas that I always sort of have like I've got a list of just Almost hundreds. I don't know. It's just tons Thanks for jump joining a loop or sand. Okay only two more monthly issues a righteous thirst for vengeance number 90 Very similar to berserker. This is not a good jumping on point This feels like a very self-contained story. I think there might only be one more issue if not like just a couple And it feels like it's something rick wrote rick remender wrote to be like a movie Okay, the main character was all right. I got the food It is still really hot though Um, let's see, yeah One second I've totally lost my mind This is this is one of those moments that will go down in history as a what the heck was he doing moment It won't be the first one. It won't be the first one. Uh, what do we got here? Um, hello, craig and bush. How do you do cobra right back at you? Uh, well jerry, uh, well jerry takes a break backstage. Let's enjoy the comedy of norm crossby thing. See This is what I need. I need an announcer You know, I need I need an egg ed McMahon That's what I need. I need I need a sidekick Here we go My apologies for for having to eat Um in front of you, but it's it's 12 hours guys It's 12 hours Uh, so I was gonna just do the first hour of Uh, chris's live stream and we're like halfway through that already Uh, because I wanted to like, uh, watch him and kind of support him doing the baroness Um, but he's still doing his comic book stuff. But that's his main focus anyway But we'll hopefully get to some of the baroness drawing Um, hey, oh Right see I need a hey-oh like How do I even have a show? Without somebody like on a my at a microphone like just Just off screen over here saying hey, oh And then he's got to come and sit on the couch And and be a foil for for my jokes Got into like some weird how can I even have a show without that? Go bro, and we we've actually done quite a bit In the Seven and a half hours that we've been going We opened uh, what three figures No, we open one two. Yeah, three. Yeah, three. We open three figures Um, we put together the We assembled this thing. We did a drawing. We did a drawing of a tag-no viper Um, I ate some barbecue potato chips We're still on the comic stuff and those of you who um Like the the comic books the the the funny papers Um chris that's that's chris's main focus Oh, I don't necessarily know much from the comic books But I want to see some of his uh some of his bareness drawing Uh, let's not forget doc severinson. Yes, and the tonight show orchestra Hey doc, what's dumb? Dumpster. Did you find that sport code in doc severinson had a Uh had he he had a personality I already I remember that. Yeah You know, you you should you should go back and look at some of the tonight show in the 70s The set was different got some shag carpeting Got some wood paneling Got some wide collar suit jackets um, so Anyway or Yes, I need I need a dummy Pardon me. I am I'm I'm I'm like I'm multitasking I am I'm eating dinner I'm live streaming I'm also watching a live stream So top that Yeah, don rickles, um Don rickles was the master of the like the the lost art of the insult comic Don rickles could be really funny um but Like yeah, I gotta know how to do the insult right to to make it funny and not everybody can do that Sorry guys, but we're we're seven and a half hours in so Here's what i'm gonna do. Okay. Here's the plan I'm sticking around as long as I can uh for at least for the first hour of chris's live stream On his channel pros and cons So I can check out him doing some of his bareness drawing Um, and then I will take another break because I haven't had one for a while Um and why When I come back from that break, I'm going to be setting up and we are going to well, what where's my agenda? Oh, let's see. Yeah, here's what we're gonna do Is We're going I'm gonna set up and we're going to do a watch along of pigskin commandos That that's gonna be next up after the next break After the next break I'm sorry. This is not the most riveting part of the show. I I know that I understand but If you're gonna be online this long in a stretch At some point you gotta eat And chris is is providing me a very convenient way To still have stuff going on While I'm stuffing my face with lasagna And she's like, oh daddy's right. It's it's garfield chow tonight With the lasagna Oh, hello, rob vigas. Nice to see you. How do you do? Another stuff going on the live chat that I haven't caught up with. Uh, hello, jk siege Uh question name at joe slash cobra that you would like to see get made into classified but not look like their vintage figure For me, that's ace Without him be a pilot instead of an astronaut. Okay, that's a good question. Let me think Let me think, um He could probably say like almost any of the 82s Because any of the 82s would need an update Um, let me think about that. That's a really good question I Like the first ones that I think of that I want made Are like hawk But I would like hawk to kind of look like the version two figure Is it cobra meat lasagna? You bet it is So we got 20 minutes 20 minutes and then we're gonna move on from this We're gonna take a break I'm gonna I'm gonna rest up a little bit and then I'm going to set up The watch along now I cannot show the video on your screen because That will get me a copyright strike So I don't want to do that but what I will do I'll do the same thing that I've often done with these which is Um, if you have a copy I will tell you I'll get it queued up And so if you hit play on your copy at the same time as mine, then you can watch along You will be watching the deke episode Of pigskin commandos A classic There's the bareness pardon me judgy bareness Is So like 12 hours is a really long time And like I really I don't mind being online like There are sometimes if you're doing something for that long where I just got to eat Right, I gotta have food. I've got to consume mass quantities So that I can continue to function. I need sustenance So that's just gonna happen But I actually really don't mind like doing this like and hanging out with you guys for an extended period of time Um, that's actually not an issue. What is an issue is like the physical limitations Like my voice doesn't hold up You know my Person my body doesn't want to be sitting in the same place for that long. So It's a challenge. It's a challenge. Not because I don't like hanging out with you guys It's just that I'm it's it's it's hard to Sit in some place and then just keep talking for 12 hours. That is difficult And believe me, I love to talk I can talk I'm a talker But um, but about 12 hours. That's a challenge Uh, right Craig and bush like the deep series. That's cool.

No contest. Yeah, I could agree with that. Yeah Although I do I do like a good, uh, grilled bratwurst like the brats And with some toppings that's pretty good, but you know with that with a burger You know, you can season the meat and you can cook the meat just right and then but you can add stuff You know, so you can add some fresh vegetables You can add some some sauces and some cheese You know a good burger Can be a great burger That that's new slogan. In fact, that's the new slogan for the channel a good burger Can be a great burger This is why I really feel That the the marketing companies should be calling me and hiring me to come up with slogans Because how many other times have you heard A good burger can be a great how many I bet you haven't heard that at all today except for right here That's the level of creativity that's coming from from this general region Yeah, um Yes, zazel uh from slaughterhouse is here Uh and sergeant slaughter slaughterhouse kicked off cobra convergent six in the grandest way Make sure you go back and watch their july 1st video if you haven't already and if you have you might want to watch it again Uh, but thank you sergeant slaughter slaughterhouse. Thank you zazel for For all you do you have a you have a really good show You have a very enjoyable show So, uh, just keep that up. That's it's awesome Um Uh in and chicago is up for debate hot dog or hamburger Yeah, uh There are things you can do with the hot dog as well All right, so, you know, I eat a hot dog if you if you give me a hot dog, I'll eat it Um, but but like with a burger There are there's there you have some options available You have lots of options available with with the burger.

Thank you very much And I I really do I try to catch your show whenever I can You have some great guests. You really do It's it's it's a fun show. It's a fun show Yeah, howard the duck he did a video on howard the duck. It's pretty darn funny Like the comic book not the movie the movie howard the duck Uh, anyway moving on Um Stone gate creations Comes with a great slogan. The good is the enemy of the great. That's that is true. That is often true Thank you for bringing that up. That's actually Something I've been thinking about lately I've been thinking about that lately But that's not related to anything Uh, apropos so we'll we'll set that aside for one moment Uh, see hot dog is always a hot dog, but a good burger can be a great burger. See It's catching on my catchphrase my slogan. It's catching on already So hey, what's it do like? Go outside Go look around a bit and see if anybody has that on a bumper sticker now It could already be on a bumper sticker or a t-shirt. It is catching on that fast So, um Isn't courting cox and howard the duck. Um, I believe lia thompson was in howard the duck if I remember right And uh, she is now devoted. Oh, what's that dude's name married to susan sarandon. What's that dude's name? I can't remember anybody's name earlier earlier today. I couldn't remember michael bell Michael bell is pretty easy name to remember but my brain just was not catching on it Anyway, uh, but I believe lia thompson was in uh, howard the duck there. That's another movie I haven't seen in a long time Because why would I Why would I? We're finally going to get there's like there are some movies that just don't quite know what they want to be Like am I uh, um, am I an adult comedy? Am I am I a raunchy comedy? Or am I a zany, uh, uh kids show? Tim robbers, thank you very much. See why can't I remember I can't thank you. Yes I believe tim robbers was in howard the duck as well um Tim robbers also in top gun He was merlin Uh, according to cox was an he-man now he-man. Well, that was there's a movie. I haven't seen in a long time but the he-man movie had some entertainment value As a bad movie like I don't think howard the duck even necessarily works good as a bad movie But he-man kind of does at at some level Hey, what's wwjd 85 nice to see you. Thank you for being here I mean about five what we're doing right now is I'm watching a live stream within a live stream I'm watching uh chris from comic comic tropes doing his live stream on my live stream, but In five minutes that segment of this live stream will be over and I'm going to take a break And then after that break, I'm going to set up and we're going to do a watch along of The deke episode pigskin commandos That was requested that was requested. Um, so we're going to do that Um But uh, just a reminder that I can't show The episode on the screen because that will be a copyright strike if I do So I can't do that for copyright purposes But what I will do if you have your copy of pigskin commandos If you queue it up and if you hit play when I say go It will be synced up with With me watching it and we will watch along together For those of you who Haven't seen pigskin commandos or don't remember it By golly, you'll remember it after today You will probably remember it. So yeah, that's that's for later Buckaroo bonsai adventures across the eighth dimension. Yeah, peter weller john let's go jiff goldblum and uh, loyde christopher loyde Um, I haven't seen that in a long time, but that's like a super campy movie now. Remember wherever you go There you are I I I do I do like some movies and I do like uh entertaining bad movies not all bad movies are entertaining but some of them are And and I do enjoy that because I do have sort of an anarchic sense of humor so, uh, these movies that unintentionally You know kick down the conventions of what a good movie is and somehow become entertaining movies despite utter incompetence Uh, I I get a lot of enjoyment out of that, but I didn't know if I'd honestly, you know, occasionally Um, like I'll catch a movie that is actually truly good And when I watch it, I'm like, okay. Yeah, I I do actually remember why why these Good movies are good. Like, uh, I'll I'll watch uh, Casablanca Casablanca one of my favorite movies Uh, but I'll watch Casablanca and I'm like, damn, that's That's actually really good. Like that that that that is a demonstration of like mastery of the craft of filmmaking and And yes, I I do get more entertainment out of good movies and bad movies But but I still get some entertainment out of some bad movies Um Only really uh, really the only bad movies are boring. Let's see. That's that's kind of my point the the Um, that's the worst kind of bad movie. Okay. There I think there are two kinds of bad bad movies The first worst kind is boring movies. They're bad because they're boring Um, the uh The second worst kind is Bad movies that are intentionally bad. They're bad, but they're not trying to be good And that's I I don't care about that like what I like to see is a sincere effort To make a good movie That fails in such a spectacular way That it comes back around to being good at least being entertaining That's what I like to see. I like to see um Other incompetence but sincerity somebody trying their best, but they don't actually know how to make a good movie Uh rom says cosplay can maybe be a perfect movie for us. It's really good. It's it's really good mega force mega I mega force is an immensely entertaining movie So, all right, I'm gonna say see you later to to comic tropes I'm gonna close off of his live stream now because it is time For me to take another break Uh, so let's do this Okay, so let me put this back on so I'm going to take a break.

So hang loose. I'll be right back Oh i'm taking that with me All right.

He would just say go um, yeah, so we'll uh Yeah, about 22 minutes about 22 minutes without the commercials. It's it's it's fairly short um, and I I just had a break, you know, so Uh, after this we should not need another rake um I think I you know what I think we may do after this I think we may go outside We may do that we may go outside To my back patio for a little while and have a cigar I I had a cigar with some of you guys at joe fest. That was really cool And uh, yeah, maybe we'll do that. Oh sergeant solder starter house Thank you for the super chat and thank you for the sticker. Uh, nice nice shades there I don't have my shades on uh, but thank you again and and thanks for for having a really good show. That's really awesome Blue 32 blue 32 58 is the mic Okay, ready Okay Uh, all right, uh on a countdown from three when I say go Hit play on your uh play back device and let's watch Um pig skin commandos. Henry says what's deek on to be? uh deek is the animation studio that did the The second series of gi joe Uh, and we're watching an episode of that pig skin commandos Um, and you should be able to watch that free on to be uh, if you look that up right away So if you want to get started Um, sergeant solder solder house says I do enjoy a good cigar, but I uh, But I don't smoke here near the edge of why I don't smoke cigarettes either and the cigar is like a an occasional thing Like it's too cold. I I don't smoke inside at all unless it's like at a cigar bar But I I only use to go to a cigar bar if I'm meeting somebody to hang out there um So if I'm by myself I don't smoke indoors and it's too cold in the winter in the fall to smoke outdoors So basically there are no cigars for the winter or the fall around here So I wait until the weather gets warmer and I can go outside um And and enjoy a cigar Uh, but then it gets really hot in the summer. So You know when it gets really hot I got to wait till later when it cools down a little bit and even if I even in the evening It doesn't cool down that much at this time of year um, okay, so Everybody ready Um, and Tony has already got the lyrics the lyrics Um, the episode is okay. Cool. Uh, thank you Raymond. All right So again, I'm gonna count down from three this time. I mean it So be be ready I'm gonna count down from three when I hit say go you hit play. Okay ready? three two one Go hit play Let me see if I can get some volume out of this all right, and one thing I will say is like the vehicle models that they Did for the deke series are really good. Like the vehicles look like the toys that's like I think I like the the animation on the vehicles more than the characters all right, I think like other than some of the bizarre writing One of the drawbacks to the deke series is the The voice acting sometimes the voice voice acting was very It's unenthusiastic Hey, it's the sarge So is that sergeant sister or sister slaughter? Hey, John. Oh, hey, nice to see you. We're watching pigskin commandos Uh, can't watch along wife would have well, you know what I don't want to I don't want to cause any marital problems Yeah, let's let's not get you in trouble I like that the sarge wears camouflage pajamas metalhead is a psycho um, I can't um The second series is not as good as the original sunbow gi joe, which is odd weren't they still being made by Marvel comics, um, and I was um Yeah, yeah, they they they changed animation studios between the two, um It's sunbow, which was associated with marvel no longer Uh, did it they they switched that to deke which a lot of people um Jokingly said stood for do it cheaply but like Thanks to sergeant slaughter for still hanging around in the deke episodes Thanks for sticking with it sarge good point Watch with all the football references Like we're already starting with football references and we're just getting into the episode Challenging gi joe to a football game if they win the sarge goes free How convenient that they just happen to have a football themed guy answering that call that is Not an accurate football field and they are not properly equipped So the range viper's mask has expressions apparently No, no comments. No comments Yes, football season is getting closer. You're getting closer. I'm pretty sure that goalpost is not regulation All right, and cobra commander has strength in increasing Uh, battle armor. That's not fair There's a female range viper In a different episode that also changed facial expressions. Yeah. Yeah That is true Um, so how does that work exactly? And here we go. Oh god hammerhead and cobra rage look I'm not familiar with the entire rule book, but I'm pretty sure You can't use vehicles as substitutes for players If they if you could use a vehicle as a substitute for a player and get an unfair advantage like that I'm sure the oakland raiders would have already done it I'm sorry the las vegas raiders. Whatever That's what you want your your receiver to say. I caught it. But now what? Just kind of go over to the sideline of the coach This ball, you know, he threw it to me. I caught it. I don't want to do it now. Well What do I do? How could cobra commander run in that armor? Well, now he doesn't need to Now we got avalanches Like In the rider's room, they were like we have really got To get these vehicles in an episode There's the battle bunker Dang the battle bunker just destroyed that rage The Denver Broncos have crafted the cobra buzz boar As a starting linebacker See that's the problem with the rage. It sets too low to the ground That the tank just rolls right over it. I wish there's we are watching the deke series Specifically we are watching the episode pig skin commandos The new raiders home stadium looks pretty awesome. Yeah, it should they spent enough money on it Um, it's like the state of the art brand new and huge So I don't I don't think that las vegas is Really a football town But it's like the one city that doesn't have to be because a lot of people are going to Make the game part of their las vegas vacation So you have you'll have a lot of I suspect you'll have a lot of people at raiders games Or just out of town from out of town They're on vacation and as part of their vacation, they'll they'll go to a game that I think that's the theory I guess But man the oakland really loved their raiders And it's kind of sad to see them lose their raiders That that's unnecessary roughness Wait, we're off the we're off of the football field Without the the yard lines. I don't know what's going on Uh gas says love the cobra rage awesome vehicle. I also like the cobra rage Like I can halfway read the The live chat see the problem is I need the glasses to read the live chat because it's a close-up small thing but I These are for close-up not for distance. And so I I can't see the screen. I gotta like I gotta do this read look at the screen read look at the screen Yeah, chris lotta Was cobra commander um Everyone else is uh as an imitation Watch out for the saw viper He's been known to to kill some joes I have Vegas already rage your wallet though. That's true um So I guess the team is appropriately named Look at the perspective on that background What the heck is going on with that? The art and the animation on that taxi cab So we started out great with uh Oh, it's leji We started out great with uh with a football game with tanks But now we're going off off the rails here Lady jay sounds like a robot All right, that's fine Better late than never to the party uh jenicell jet j jenicell 37 and hello. Thank you for being here um Yeah, um Vegas also has hockey team uh low light, um I never got the comic book uh with the saw viper. Yeah the saw viper The saw viper was uh Was pretty vicious Yeah Like I said, the vehicles are pretty on point the vehicles look Very much like the toys. They they really kept the vehicles on model Yeah, I yes the female characters are Not portrayed the best That's another area where I think the sunbow series was Was better than this Oh, the sunbow series was not perfect At depicting the female characters it had its cringy moments No way That that that car could totally have gone around that tree Yeah, the cobra hurricane. That's a really good vehicle Can somebody just untie sergeant slaughter? We all know that sergeant slaughter can Beat all these guys single-handedly Somebody just released him from his bonds Man, I can't Like without the glasses I can kind of read I mean this Is really selling the vehicles They are really trying to show off the vehicle features a lot It's also nice that the missiles move really slowly So the guys could jump out of the way before they get there Dale says that a lot of the original actors come back for the second series Not a lot Not a lot Oh, is is the deep series not on to be anymore it used to be but I haven't checked in quite a while The whole series used to be on there Uh, what's up with that? Were they wearing pink helmets? I missed it It's it's breast cancer awareness month See I want the episode to start I want the episode to start with them hanging in like hanging from the The jet Like this And you start the episode with saying I'll bet you're wondering how I ended up in this predicament And then the rest of the episode is is a flashback Like the football references are pretty painful And like Very literal They're gonna try the old statue of liberty play At the statue of liberty So just untie sergeant slaughter He can beat them That is a better use of your time The the statue of liberty is cracking they do know that's not made of stone, right? The statue of liberty is it not in fact a stone statue It's not stone He's almost as bad Uh as big lob With the football play calling as he does the thing Uh cobra claw says cobra cobra me too Lege and pathfinder are drawn. Well, yes. Yes Um Some of the character models are better than others, but those those are not bad I just think the vehicles are drawn really well And I should point out there was no lady j action figure available at this time But she's still in the episode I think their sergeant slaughter character model is A little off a little off Uh see Raw Vegas says uh plus they would have to look take his uh get to the top of the Statue months in advance. Yeah, um great movie with action scene on statue of liberty rima. Williams. Wow. Yes When I was a kid, I must have seen rima. Williams like 500 times touchdown And like why is sergeant slaughter like doing all the football references? He wasn't a football player Or at least if he was it's that's not what he's known for I may maybe you played in high school or something. I don't know Yeah, they are wearing pink helmets. Yeah, that's definitely breast cancer awareness month Gijo raising awareness for an important cause Um, you see uh, yes, they just cycle little female characters in the show even though hasbro Cut production of any female characters for quite a few years after jinx. Yeah. Yes. Yes. They did and like The thing is okay, maybe boys at the time Didn't buy Um action figures of women In his large numbers. Okay. I get that but For your world building You you would have a a rather incomplete world A rather incomplete universe With like no women in it So for your cartoon for your comic book for whatever like It would feel very strange and out of place if like Like it was All dudes like women didn't exist in your universe. That would be weird And that's it that Was pigskin commandos Uh a short episode. Oh actually a regular length episode, but you know just a short Uh A short watch along So, okay, what's here's the plan As soon as I figure it out It is 845 local time Here's what i'm gonna do It's cigar time We're gonna go outside. We're gonna go to my backpack to go. We're gonna enjoy A cigar together I've got to move this I've got to move this entire rig out there What I think I need to do Is go set up out there first And then come back in and get the laptop the other microphone Bring it out there and um And set it up so uh hang loose with me For a little while Like just like two minutes And I'll be right back This is not a break This is not a break. This is just me setting up the next segment of the live stream Be right hang loose right back. This this it'll be awesome. This will be great This will be the best thing ever. You don't want to miss it So I'll be right back. I'll be right back I'm doing it. I'm setting it up I'm doing it okay All right, I think I'm about ready to do this Um, I'm gonna attempt to do this without unplugging the microphone, but I do need to unplug this How we do we still have 60 people washing? Um, I don't think we've dropped below like 55 people at any point During the uh eight almost nine hours. We've been doing this That is amazing Uh, thank you to everyone who has stuck around. I know a lot of people You know just kind of have to come and go and that's totally cool Uh, let's see Sticking out of my pocket Uh, okay Are you ready? Am I ready? I don't know but let's do it anyway Okay Here we go. All right. Hey hang on hang on hot Here we go. All right. Let's just moving moving along Moving along moving along Hold on. I'm getting there. I'm getting there getting there. Oh hold on Here we go Close that Oh, sorry. Sorry I did not I did not Mean to grab the microphone like that All right. Hold on. That'll be a problem Hang on. I got a solution to the microphone problem one second. You will definitely hear fireworks that's the sound of Okies blowing their fingers off with explosives uh, so Don't mind please the the sudden sound of finger amputation I am back led aren't I? Uh, well, that's nothing I can do about it. Nothing I can do about it Uh, let's see water got to stay hydrated. It's not bad out here right now Um, I'm sorry if I blew out your speakers I know I bumped the microphone Yeah, I'm not losing any fingers. I'm staying well clear of the of the boom booms um The inner workings of the terror drone, that's right Not much to see at the moment Uh, all right. Yeah, okay Okay, let's let's get uh, let's get us started here. I've got my my cutter Thank you sergeant slaughter slaughterhouse I intend to all right Yeah, so we're uh I'm in this little courtyard area Um, um, hopefully I don't disturb anybody out here, but I don't think anybody anybody will care And after the popcorn, I'm kind of thirsty anyway, so I got some extra water. All right, so Now I can read 1,000 or I'm sorry 13,259 hiss backers Uh, so, I mean we should hit the 14,000 stretch goal pretty soon Um, and I'm really wondering what what the final stretch goal is going to be Um I I was really hoping for some something towable Uh, the cigar this is a bakarot It's a it's a relatively inexpensive cigar But it's it's a good go-to middle of the road cigar. It's a nothing Not no not too Uh frilly. It's just it's a nice Decent cigar and that's what we're going with It's also my last one Yeah, um Fireworks are actually illegal within the city limits and we are well within the city limits That that deters no one though Oh, yeah, um Cuban cigars are a little bit difficult to come by here Lots of fakes if you don't mind a fake Cuban cigar You can fly in plenty of those This hill beside me when I lived in east, Tennessee was lit up with machine gun fire every fourth Yeah, good times Yeah, that sounds about right. Um I think the fourth tier will be blast effects They can make the ass later and sell it At retail for those who bought the hiss and those who couldn't afford one Yeah, I guess that's whether they may do Blast effects I'm not a huge fan of blast effects. I know some people really love them And I like the blast effects on the sky striker is definitely not what sold me on the sky striker um The stretch goals Uh, not that I guess it matters because you know, they they got funded before any of the stretch goals were announced so It's fine Blast the gi joe theme at full blast with waves some sparklers around Uh, that that would be a great. Yeah, that would be awesome. I do not have sparklers. I don't have any Other than than this. I don't have anything to burn Uh, speaking of which I got pretty uneven Light on that. Let's Let's fix that Yeah, that's better Uh, Jeff says I think they'll end up doing a cheap version of the hiss. That's kind of what I think um They could Later release Like a stripped down No electronics like no extra pieces Uh Significantly less expensive Uh, as I could maybe do that at retail or maybe do it like as a hasbro pulse thing But I I do think that we will see future hiss tanks that are um That don't have all the bells and whistles and um And that's at a lower price point um I I did bring that up and somebody uh suggested that the backers of the his tank may be upset Uh at seeing a Oh crap Ah Hang on. All right. It's reconnecting. Okay. We're back. I think we're back. I am still connected All right. Yeah, I don't know if this is gonna Connect or not, but like my connection keeps bouncing. It's not like it's a weak connection It just keeps disconnecting um, and I I'm I think it has something to do with my proximity to the Wi-Fi signal, which is pretty far right now so, uh, hopefully Uh, hopefully this will pop back up And hopefully you can at least hear the audio a little bit. Let me know if you can at least hear any audio See like right now The the signal looks good It's connected It looks good there It looks good here So I think we're all right Sergeant Slaughter Slaughter's house is my internet connection is two cans with a string. I can relate to that Okay, good. So I while I while I have you if it cuts out again. I apologize. I can't actually do anything about it right now um So if it cuts out, I just I will have to wait and get back inside when I'm done with this And then we'll try to we'll try to pick it back up Uh, and then hello iconic blood 66 nice to see you um, all right, so yeah Like my signal strength that that says it's in it's in the green The Wi-Fi signal is not the strongest, but that's because I'm like way far away from um, from the Wi-Fi antenna Uh cover island, um tomorrow. I'm posting my regular schedule video Just for you the retro cober commander. Cool. That's cool Um, I would really like to get my hands on um, the new retro o-ring duke and cober commander because I am intensely curious Intensely curious about the cober commander mold the What did they do with the cober commander mold?

I really want to see it Yeah, Josiah, I don't um, I don't really drink alcohol anymore so uh, you More explosions usually um in times when I would uh have alcohol. I just have water Besides which right now it's it's pretty important to uh for me to hydrate So, uh, yeah, we're we're knocking back the high quality h2o Yeah, um sergeant slaughter slaughterhouse.

I want you to create things I want you to participate and I also want to um to share your stuff um, so No coffee or candy no no like, um, I I actually mentioned earlier like I do I absolutely do Um, essentially always have coffee in the morning, but I don't really drink coffee after the morning It's really strictly a strictly a morning thing for me uh Yeah, um So it's like it's not quite night yet Um, but it's getting darker Uh, so yeah, we still have 52 folks in here and that's pretty awesome. So thank you all for for being here Um, we are like nine hours in nine hours That's incredible So, um, uh chris from comic tropes sent, uh, uh A gijo madlib Uh, so we might do that a little bit later.

Thanks for thanks for hanging out Yeah, um Yeah, I've um I'm trying to be kind to my vocal chords but Like it talking for for 12 hours. There's just no way So I think my only solution is to not not talk for a few days after this Uh, we'll we'll see what we can do. Uh, hello troublemaker bricks. Nice to see you and thanks for being here Jozai, I like cigars with Reese's and chocolate malt. That's an interesting combo Never thought of that um So yes, um This is nice. This is kind of relaxing This is just me and you sitting here and chatting together On the fourth of july um About the the gi joe and the cobra. So that's that's nice. I like that. I'm enjoying this so Some thoughts so I really enjoyed joe fest this year. I always do One thing that I did not do though is I did not request a panel like in 2019 I had a panel to launch cobra convergence five Four whichever one it was whichever joe, uh, uh, cobra convergence. That was I had a panel um I guess it would have been four Anyway, I had a panel. I did not ask for a panel this year, but I kind of I think I should have I think I should have and next time I definitely will because like Lots of cobra convergence people actually show up for joe fest So I could do a cobra convergence panel With actual cobra convergence presenters And I could I could introduce them. I could have them all talk and say a few words Um, and I could give like a really cool preview Uh, oh sergeant slaughter slaughterhouse, uh, says a little my goal is to make a joe fest next year I hope you can and I just saw that this is slowing down again So hopefully you can see me and hear me Uh I mean it says the connection is good So, yeah, uh joe fest in august uh, georgia. Um, I've said before august is not a big place So you don't have a whole lot of uh tourist destinations unless you're into golf If you are into golf They have golf But it is it is a happen in a little town. I I do like it But mostly I really like hanging out with people. So, you know for joe fest, you know go for the joe go for the joe stuff Uh, go go to to meet people Connection is good. Thank you Then this error that I'm getting is I I can disregard It I mean it still says it's got a good signal. So, yeah So, yeah my um, what I would like to do next year Is have a cobra convergence panel at joe fest and like All of the cobra convergence presenters who are in attendance I'd like to Have them there and have them actually say a few words about their Uh presence their channel their whatever thing that they do podcast what have you And say a few words and do a little presentation and introduce themselves And give them the spotlight a little bit one of the that's part of what cobra convergence is Is giving all these creative creators their spotlight, you know what I'm saying? So, uh, yeah, I kind of wish I had done that this year. Um, I was worried that Um, there just wouldn't be enough space like they wouldn't have the the time To to fit a panel in there, but I think I was mistaken about that I I think they absolutely could have and probably would have if I had asked So So, yeah, I should have asked Trying to made some gi jo lego knockoffs. That's interesting and hasbro had that lego knockoff Creo a few years back Um, that I didn't didn't super take off But it's like everything else like people enjoyed that some people really enjoyed Putting it together You know assembling them and that's that's fun Uh cobra island says I'll save for next year. I hope so and like, um I completely understand if some folks just cannot make it You know, some people cannot travel or and or for some people the timing just doesn't work and for some people it's just like not feasible Uh to travel that far. So I understand it's cool It's cool Um, so Um But if you can make it I would love to meet you. I would love to meet each of you. I I have had the most Fun and the most enjoyment out of um Yeah, I'm just meeting people hanging out with people getting to know people on a one to one basis um So, yeah, that that's always what's more memorable to me, uh from from the old joe con and from the newer joe fest Like I can't tell you what I what toys I bought at each joe con or joe fest but you know, I I remember the people that I met I remember the conversations. I remember hanging out. I remember going out and doing stuff You know, uh And that's that's that's really what I go for and I know it's very cheesy and it's kind of a cliche but that it really is What I go for um, and honestly like That really kind of lifted my spirits a bit that that made me feel Better I felt better After I got home Um, thank you cobra island. Thank you um Like at the end Um as joe fest was winding down on the last day on sunday Um, thank you dc guitar 15. Thank you very much. Thank you And and thanks for hanging out on and off. I know that most people cannot Just sit and watch 12 hours of live stream. That's that's totally cool But I'm hoping that people will come and go and that's that we've had a really really good crowd all day Uh, it's been really awesome Uh, yeah, I honestly zazel I would love to hang out with you too. I would love to meet you in person Um, I would buy you a beer. I won't drink a beer myself, but I'd buy you one and and um Uh, the convention center where they have been holding joe fest is is is in their downtown They have uh bars and pubs and restaurants and lots of hangout places And honestly, it's it's a fairly lively downtown area. Um Uh, no, it's it's cool. It's cool. Um But yeah at the as joe fest was winding down Like I was I I took a moment kind of on my own to reflect on it And I I felt kind of sad that it was ending And that I would have to wait another year Uh to see a lot of these people That fair that's fair I'll I'll take the cigar but that this is something that um Uh that I try to convey to people about about joe con about the old joe con is that It was never a very big convention, right? It was not a big con. It was pretty small as conventions go but Because it was small You'd have a chance to meet a lot of people and you'd if you went year after year You would meet and connect with a lot of the same people. So It really did kind of become like a family reunion every year Uh troublemaker bricks is building lego and listening. Well, thank you. That's an enjoy enjoy the building lego Uh, see um cober island. Um talk about how to channel and uh for me Seven first two channels watched and restarted my collection. Oh, that's awesome. That's cool cober island. Thank you Um Uh we should rep uh an aussie mission to joe fest. That would be cool. That would be like really Really cool Uh to have like uh an australian contingent Uh at joe fest that would be that would be pretty awesome um But yeah, joe joe the old joe con did become like a family reunion every year Now you'd have these friends that you would only see once a year, but you would you would all catch up and you'd all hang out and um I know joe fest is not this is not that for everybody And there are lots of really good regional shows out there. There are some really good regional conventions gi joe themed that that are cool That's that are uh, totally fine, but I still like the idea of having Uh a convention that everybody but it kind of goes to where you can see the usual suspects and see those toy or see those people and uh reconnect with those people and um Uh and that that's kind of what joe fest has become now There were some some folks missing the show this year did conflict with another rather long it had to be restarted So this says it's got a good signal, but this over here Is spinning According to my phone We are live Okay, so I think we're okay Uh, yeah, so yes here it is it is um, not quite 9 30 9 23 by my time Uh, so I think I think we're okay Uh, I just I have this much to go and then then I'll go back indoors Thank you to everyone who stuck around hello again jenna.

I appreciate it Yeah, my uh This wi-fi router that I have it's it's relatively new and it was an upgrade from From the old one, you know, it's supposed to be The latest and the best and that stupid thing has to be rebooted Way more often than the old one did So that's new technology for you Um Uh, yeah, so uh, but i'm i'm happy to see uh kelden and white white vegeta um and jeff uh jenna uh and comic tropes and uh fish gaste and uh, and jeff uh jeffrey and troublemaker bricks um Yes, I did I did the um, I did I know you did not miss the mad lib I'm trying actually I like the mad lib that you sent I'm trying to think of exactly how I want to do that how I want to present it on the show um, so I but i'm gonna do that What I think i'm gonna do when I go back inside i'm gonna do story time story time doesn't usually take that long Um, and then I think we'll do the mad lib after that And then after that, I don't know I I don't know I'll figure something out All right, we're We're back live again. Thank you. Thank you for your patience and and the people have come back. Thank you Hello, jake proven how you jake you didn't miss anything other than than my internet going down you missed nothing welcome welcome back ah Yeah, so Random figure review. Yes. I think that was on the agenda and what what else What else is it gonna do? Oh, yeah, I was gonna build that that Lego brick rattler That that the knockoff Lego rattler. I don't know. We'll see if there's time That the his tank was quite challenging And the rattler is even bigger Characters vanish between seasons and that but I don't know what you're referring to but I'm sorry that that bothered you And if you'll give me the names and addresses of the people that bothered you I'll I'll I'll take care of it for you. I'll do something about it. You don't have to worry about it ever again um Coma trope says thanks for organizing another covert convergence. Uh, uh, thank you and Yeah, I'm glad to be back doing it. I really am. I'm glad to be back in the saddle And uh, and hopefully I can stick around Um, I want I want to work on making better, uh, content more quality content uh, I've been I've had to like take some breaks mainly because um Like I've got I've had to prepare like I've had to do extra work for this month So last month I didn't release a whole lot, but this month I'm going to be releasing a lot lot Rattler looks like a drone. You like the that um the construction set. Yeah, that's We'll take a look at it Uh, yes, I also hope that form bx257 is okay. He does not seem to be checking any of his messages Um, but I hope he's all right Uh, do I wear my hood when plotting the demise of other people? You know, that's the only way to do it It makes me feel mysterious Who would win in a fight serpentor or globulus? That's a good question Um, and I think it's not unfair because globulus has the big snake tail So and serpentor but serpentor does have the snake um The snake uh spears My verse ever youtube show was a cobra convergence. So uh, many thanks I think that's cool rob and and you're you're still around and I appreciate you being around you've been I I I've seen you around for quite a while now and I'm really glad to have you here Thank you for being here and thank you for your support. That's really nice um Yeah, uh I I always stress over cobra convergence like not just the work that needs to be done But I want it to be an enjoyable experience both for the people who participate and for the people who watch um, and that is I mean, there's just never a guarantee that it's going to go the way you want it to go um But I I do my best I do my best and The rest is just You know cross your fingers and and hope it goes well Who would win in a fight sergeant slaughter or the entire cobra army sergeant slaughter, obviously I'm back Um, will you be reviewing the lego sets or are they banned? Like the street fighter figures. Oh, I don't know. I could I'll think it's it's not part of what I usually do but I could do a special video on it or something And it's like the street fighter figures I wanted to cover the street fighter figures. I just don't didn't want to review them myself Uh, so I I have much gratitude to the dragon fortress For jumping in and talking about, uh, the street fighter toys, um That I I appreciate it. You saved me man. Thanks Um Yeah, see a sergeant slaughterer can take on a hundred cobras and send them on the run Yeah, see Sergeant slaughter in the gi joe universe has superpowers He is an actual super superhuman uh, see, um Yes, I I did I did like I don't want to Ignore the street fighter line because it existed Um, but like it's I don't want to collect them I don't want to buy them and and and And review them myself. So yeah, I got some help. I got some help much appreciated help Uh, see I think an interesting series of videos someone should do is taking characters from the gi joe comics and the cartoon And comparing the differences and they're with it. There definitely are some differences. Um, yeah, you could get some mileage out of that Absolutely The heli fighter from street fighter 2 tool line is cool. Uh, just needs less fluorescent and colored, um accoutrements. Yeah, uh, there Uh, there were some some nice figures and vehicles from street fighter I just felt like street fighter Uh, a street fighter 2 should have had its own series Um, it's it's its own thing like it's its own standalone thing and Shoe horning it into gi joe. I just didn't know that it made a lot of sense Uh, comical says I really want to see your review of dino hunters. I still need to get the dino hunter set The thing about dino hunters is unlike street fighter dino hunters included uh Versions of earlier gi joe characters Um, and the dino hunters is pretty nuts. It's pretty crazy Uh, so I feel like I do need to review that as part of the vintage toy line Um, but it's pretty nutty, but it's also rare And expensive and hard to find gray fox says We need more mega marines and dino hunters for use. Um, I um I did the mega marines, um monster blaster earlier this year and I was going to do another mega marines Uh figure review after that But as I was writing it I was like I am just repeating this stuff because in in each review I want to put the The figure or vehicle in the context of the whole you know where it stands in the In the toy line, um So I've got to kind of explain what mega marines is But as I was writing it was like I just said all this in a review not that long ago So I felt like okay. It's too early to do another mega marines review I needed us to sit on this for a little while but there is a mega marine action figure That I really want to do I I have I have it ready. It's ready to to review It's complete um A roof you're one of the monsters one of the or a figure it was a figure It was a specific thing. I don't want to spoil it. I don't want to spoil it. I don't want to give it away But um, there is one that I do want to do in the near future I just wasn't ready to do it at the time. I originally planned And it's going to be a really nice Kind of segue into talking about some early history of gi joe It's actually the perfect jumping off point To talk about some early history of the toy line And that's kind of why I wanted to do it but yeah Doing another mega marines review right shortly after the monster blaster It was just too soon. I needed a little break from it um Mega marines there See that that's good marketing right there That's that that's good marketing Uh, see kelvin says, you know what I used my steel brigade figure as he was the joe android character like data and tng Well, you know, he he does have the he's like covered from head to toe. He has the it could be a robot like helmet I could definitely see steel brigade as like android character. Yeah, that's Definitely how you could imagine that character Um now as a kid when I first heard that you could get your own gi joe action figure I of course I thought that meant like in your likeness You know, they would make a figure with like your face on it Um when I realized that steel brigade Was Totally covered. In fact, no exposed skin on the figure at all So that anybody of any hair color any skin color, you know any Complexion or facial features Can imagine himself as the steel brigade character. I was a little disappointed. I was like, oh You mean they're not going to make a character that looks an action figure that looks exactly like me Um as a child, I didn't completely understand how action figures and toys were made So, you know, I I had some Some errant ideas of of how that all works The soviet hockey team that's interesting. Um to my knowledge um Archie Goodwin came up with the name cobra And I think the idea was to make them kind of like hydra in a marvel continuity Um Blow felled villain from the 007. There is definitely a 007 Vibe to to cobra commander and some of the cobra characters Uh There were times when the uh The creators the designers kind of wore their influences on their sleeves um, but um Yeah, there was um In fact, going back to the 12 inch line There were some 007 some very specific 007 influences And like the uh What was it like the the sea sled the I don't remember what they called it but it was like a um, a water vehicle that was like a Uh, a diving sled That was similar to one that was in a james bond movie and directly inspired, um Uh, directly inspired Um A 12 inch g. I. Joe vehicle so there are there are Absolutely some 007s 007 references or inspiration So there's several parts of the toro toy line in its history Um, jake says cobra is more interesting than hydra. Well, obviously I like cobra more than hydra um Yeah, like so Dinosaurs in g. I. Joe if you watch the animated series not farfetched at all They had lots of crazy stuff in the animated series um But like There were times when G. I. Joe was rather blatantly following trends Uh and trying to jump on some bandwagons Um, and that was absolutely one of those times Um, I wonder what g. I. Joe's biggest peg warmer was um I know crystal ball stuck around for quite a while. I remember seeing lots of crystal ball um That that may be it. That that may be the actual one Uh, but but but I can't say that. I mean, there may have been some peg warmers in the 90s But I wasn't around for that. So I can't really say Uh, yeah, that's right. Um That's totally fair uh rexford g. Lewis. Um There have been other co-order commanders in other Uh g. I. Joe slash action force continuity Uh, mustn't forget baron ironblood Yeah, tony agrees with me. Crystal ball was a major peg warmer. Um Yeah crystal ball I think I honestly think crystal ball has a charm to him But it the he's still bonkers He's still not so It's still bizarro. Um So yeah, crystal crystal ball may win that we still have 70 70 people watching that is awesome. That is awesome Um, um, I don't know if you can hear the explosions behind me But it sounds like world war three back there There there are definitely some oaky's losing their fingers back there Uh, and that's the thing about, um About oklahomans Um, they have supreme confidence that they know exactly how to handle explosives Uh, but they also don't they find out the hard way that uh These exploding things are actually dangerous I got that that much that much to go then we're going back inside Uh, 1993 got the patriot tank for eight dollars at a toy shop. They had a ton of them there as well. Also, you know Um The falcon glider and the viper glider from 1983, uh, I mean, I don't remember them super well, but um I at least the recollection of some fans was that those ended up On uh clearance in clearance bins So, I mean maybe the the gliders did not sell great. I I'm not really sure But it's kind of amusing to think of uh toys that are Rare and expensive now at one time were you know almost worthless and Um, nobody wanted them Uh, see gray fox says I seem to remember the ninja for stuff warming the shells back in the 90s And that maybe I I wasn't around back then I kind of wish I was because I have a better idea of like what was selling and not selling in the 90s Uh cobra must hire okies definitely Definitely, um Yeah, the cobra strikes And I may finish this up a little early. I don't I don't want to keep puffing on this for too long Uh, see I think a lot of 94 stuff peg warmed joe had really cooled off It was turtle and power rangers and that kind of makes sense. I think that tracks was what some other folks have said um and one thing that um That people like to point out and there is evidence of this is that like 1991 was one of the best selling years for gi joe Better than a lot of the years in the 80s gi joe was selling like hotcakes in 1991 But by 1993 that had cooled off a lot And that's one of the reasons why they decided to shift gears to sergeant savage um in 94 Um sergeant savage which was announced at joe con in 1994 Much to everyone's surprise So the pterodrome is located in oklahoma Uh someone alert the joes. Um, yeah, I can show you right where it is I can show you right where it is Um, uh, I hope the autobots have fourth of july parties. They don't have warpath light the fireworks He would go way overboard. That's right Uh sergeant savage You know, it's it's one of those things that I'm sure Looked like a better idea on paper than it was in execution And I know some of the criticisms that were coming from hasbro Executives at the time was that action figures were trending larger In larger scales, but gi joe was still in the smaller scale So they wanted to make gi joe bigger They wanted to make gi joe on a larger at a larger scale They wanted they needed to refresh the brand Um, and they they wanted to just go in a totally different direction totally new idea But sergeant savage just Wasn't the right direction And on the one hand it's like yeah, it gets gi joe back to its military roots and I'm all for that but Um, it just didn't work you know it's Yes, it's military roots, but you're trying to like Harken back to world war two and and you know, I I uh Enjoy, you know the history of world war two. I think it's very important a part of history but you're talking about introducing a propeller fighter plane in an era of supersonic jets and I just I like I mean, I know what I think about it. What ultimately matters is what the kids thought about it at the time But apparently the kids didn't think that much of it either Oh, I know where the pterodrome is. I know where the pterodrome exactly where it is. It's um It's it's it's in this place that um That it's called the city of faith. It was built by oral roberts. Um, and um He he constructed a pterodrome there. It's there Just just look at it. It's it's not even that well disguised Uh, tony, uh, it's crazy how many uh name cobras have no actual weapons raptor big boa crystal ball croc master And that's that that's that's true. That's a fair point um Those zany guys They had a very narrow focus Hello, uh as cafe moto. How do you do nice to see you there? Um, did you back the new classified his tank? I I did in fact, I don't real, uh collect classified series. Um, I Did not reorder the uh true. Oh, I did um Order the uh, sorry missed uh trooper two pack with megatron. So I guess you got the trooper two pack and the megatron his tank um I did uh back the has lab his tank. I do collect uh classified and I really like the his tank. Um, I really really like it So, yeah, I absolutely did so, yeah, um croc master Very specific role right very narrow focus he he uses Um alligators Not crocodiles, but he uses alligators to like patrol the swamps on cobra island All right raptor very narrow focus He trains birds and also dresses up as a bird because that's what you got to do apparently when you train birds, right? crystal ball Very narrow focus. He hypnotizes people So all he includes is that is the hypno shield so um It's so it's like the accessories that they came with are they are like You know raptor comes with a bird and and with wings, you know croc master includes an alligator Um crystal ball has a hypnotic thing They come with the accessories that they should come with for their specialties, but their specialties are right Very very narrow very very very specific um And raw vegas likes crystal ball. I'm glad somebody does and I believe that's steven king also is a fan Reminds me of vincent price. Yes me. Yes. I I honestly think they use Uh vincent price as a model It just that's what he looks like 80 people in here. That's awesome Always imagine ron pearlman Yeah, that would that would fit okay I'm gonna hydrate here for a few minutes Then we're gonna go back inside. Oh, yeah, I was gonna look at something Hey, it's almost 10 o'clock at 10 o'clock. I should take my uh regular break that I've been taking every couple hours Virtrus says gi joe extreme was hasbro's answer to t-mini t and power rangers Yeah, um, we don't talk about gi joe extreme a lot and we probably should talk about it more often Like nobody talks about gi joe extreme very much But uh, one thing to remember about gi joe extreme Is that It was made by kenner under the kenner label Uh by that time Hasbro had purchased kenner or at least purchased the parent company of kenner um and But the companies had not merged They had not merged yet. Um kenner was still being Uh operated as a separate entity by hasbro Uh, and yeah, they they actually had kenner Uh take over gi joe for a while And do gi joe extreme. Yeah matt, uh gi joe extreme is kind of a uh A blank spot It's kind of like a blind spot for a lot of people and like I know some about it But I haven't dived into gi joe extreme There there was a show there was a a a television show for gi joe extreme um That that is I I don't think very I think some of it is available online But I don't think all of it is and I don't think it has ever seen dvd release it. I and probably won't Um cool reminder about kenner operating gi joe extreme. Yes, exactly And you can still get gi joe extreme Um figures and vehicles some of them still packaged Pretty cheaply, you know the prices have not the prices have gone up a little bit, but Um, but you can still get them Relatively and expensively look on the back. It is not the hasbro logo on there. It's the kenner logo I think I've been saying your name wrong Uh vertus It says gi joe extreme has been uploaded to youtube. Uh that that's cool It's been a long time since I've checked I I haven't I haven't checked on that for a while, but yeah gi joe extreme Uh was on tv. I mean they did marketing for it. They did media for it But like ultimately it didn't fare any better than um It didn't fare any better than sergeant savage Um And that's the thing with with gi joe like um Everybody likes their own thing and that's fine And if if you like any aspect of gi joe um Then you I'm glad that you do and I'm not Not saying that in like a patronizing way I am actually glad that you you have something that you like even if you are the only one that likes it You own that that you still not only should like it You should be able to say to the world that you like it without without you know any kind of ridicule or shame at all um So there are lots of aspects to gi joe including a loss of uh of gi joe that went in bizarre directions You know gi joe extreme your sergeant savage your your um street fighter 2 your dino hunters all of that um So gi joe has a lot of room to To encompass a lot of things let's not forget like the sigma 6 and all of that um but For me like You can get so far away from like The the core of what gi joe Is and what gi joe represents that it it's kind of unrecognizable And like I know not everybody feels that way and and that's um I'm not not everybody should feel that way honestly But that's just how I feel when I look at some of this stuff. I'm like I just don't understand some of this I know i'm an old person You know shaking my fists at the young whipper snappers um But uh some of it like I I genuinely don't I don't get it man And gi joe extreme extreme was one of those like I know that Some of the uh marketing people Back in the real american hero era Hello, christopher moody. How do you do how many people here got into the 12 inch hall of fame in early 90s? What was your opinion of? Hall of Fame gi joe hoody coco. Thanks for asking. That's another thing hall of fame Um, I really like the idea of the hall of fame figures. Um at the time Collectors of the 12 inch especially from the 70s were reaching an age where they wanted to Kind of get back into it And so they were kind of marketing it to I think toward those people But with real american hero characters and for the 12 inch collectors, you know the equipment and the uniforms are a big part of it so having like the The the cloth goods the the soft goods uniforms and all that that was an important part of it. I think what really drags down the hall of fame Uh series the collection is the articulation. They're really poorly articulated um, and that's I think that's that's a tough one like the I mean you got a 12 inch action figure um for 12 inch collectors and 12 inch gi joe from the 60s and 70s was super articulated So you're giving them 12 inch figures, but you're not giving them the articulation that that would go with a 12 inch figure so Yeah, that's like I think some of the figures look really good like the scaled up um storm shadow Like the ninja force storm shadow. I think that that was really nice Uh, I like it. It looks good You know scaled up, um Uh, like talking battle commando's stalker with the black beret the black, uh uniform Looks really good But like the the clunky articulation I think like, um Kind of detracts from the play value It's it's kind of mannequin-like. You know what I'm saying? Um, so Uh, Sean says he's gonna send a sigma so yeah, I I have zero sigma six anything I don't really know a lot about it except There was a jody classified Uh Booklet on it like they did one of their one of their publications on sigma six um Chris said Christopher says, um, I was always jealous of the 90 of the kids from the 70s Who's got to play with gi joe from that era the adventure era always seemed cool to me I wonder if they would ever do homage in six inch scale I I think that would be really cool. I would like it and I would probably buy it um and Um, I kind of feel bad for gi for gi joe fans from the uh 60s and 70s because Uh as time has gone on There has been much less emphasis On those those eras and the callbacks to um To gi joe the military era and to the adventure team era Um hasbro just is not catering to them at all it seems Um, and like I love to see it But man, it just it just doesn't seem like like it's gonna happen um That's that's correct. Tony sergeant savage was in gi joe extreme. So that was kind of that like their bridge Between sergeant savage the sergeant savage line and gi joe extreme. They did include Sergeant and a sergeant savage figure In gi joe extreme that is correct. Okay. So it's 10 o'clock right now I need to take my two hour my I'm not going to take a break for the two hours.

This is gonna be tough, but we're gonna make it through this Yeah, so um hasbro, uh the hasbro brand team the hasbro official guys who are definitely watching right now Uh, we let's let's get a new classified action figure brand new characters a sneak fart There's obviously a groundswell for a sneak fart Uh, I'm sure that's coming from uh from the classified series any any day now I'm I'm I'm surprised and frankly disappointed That yo joe june did not give us stink fart Sneak fart. I can't I can't talk All right, okay Yeah, and platypus eyes um Uh, try try out. Yeah, I have to try a pie floater. Yeah, I'm Yeah, give give me just a second.

We're gonna do story time Platypus eyes. That's right. See this great codename called platypus eyes Hello jr. Howard and thank you and good night. Thanks for hanging around. Thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoyed it I enjoyed having you here Yeah, no hawk yet. No announcement of hawk. We need to hawk um, but um Story time for those of you who don't know how story time works Uh, it's think when will they make classified little I think classified little light has to come at some point So story time. This is a find your fate book. In fact, this is number one the first find your fate book I didn't realize we picked the very first one So on certain pages Like page three here Um, you get options you get choices and depending on which choice you make The story can change, right Um, the story can change so that's it's find your fate It's it's kind of like choose your own adventure. In fact, it's it's exactly like choose your own adventure So I will read the story slowly I will read the story And when we get to a page that has a choice I will tell you what the page numbers are that we can turn to And you will vote On which page we we turn to by typing that page number In the the live chat now I I do recommend not spamming the live chat because If youtube thinks you're spamming the live chat, it could kick you out I don't have nothing to do with it. So so, you know, if you'd like to stay around for the story I would suggest not spamming the live chat, but you know type your choice in the live chat And I will like very unscientifically Guess at which of those choices has the most votes, right? Sometimes it's close. Sometimes it's not Uh, I I will not actually count um Yes, 60. Yes too early now. That's too early um But I will guess at which I think might be the the winning Choice and we will do that Until we win Or until we die Those are usually the only two options you you win the mission you you succeed Or or our character passes away So let's get started Wow, this is not gonna be easy I will try to not Choke and cough through this So here we go page one. This is gijo operation star raider Uh By eric afibi. So thank you eric afibi for writing this and not not not bad Not bad artwork there. That's pretty good Yeah, I like it page one Can't you move any faster ripcord? What's your problem? Did you jump out of too many airplanes without a parachute blowtorch gives ripcord a playful shove As you follow a group of joes through the armored corridor That's that's hilarious blowtorch Um, where's the fire blowtorch ripcord replies shoving him back The other gijo's laugh Because that was hilarious You're walking through the second level of the pit toward the briefing room Or could be the spanking room And this now the spanking room is just down the hall. This is the briefing room It's 0600 hours or 069 maybe Uh on sunday morning You can understand why your fellow gi joes are a bit edgy Why has duke your sergeant called a briefing session at this hour? It must be important. Perhaps it's a plump mission You enter the lowest ceiling room and take your places around the long table There are seven of you waiting in silence For general nose hair for duke. Pardon me For sergeant squirt to enter Hey, I smell smoke Mutt cries jumping from his seat What's burning in here? Smells like burning rubber airtight says What's a peculiar grin on his face? It's my boot Mutt cries he begins stamping his foot trying to put out the fire Airtight you idiot. This is no time for your stupid practical jokes Airtight falls off his chair laughing because this is hilarious. Everybody's a a a comedian Everybody's a comedian. Oh, hey, hello, uh kujo. Hello again. Thanks for being here. Nice to see you again And I'm sorry, I can't it's hard for me to like Watch the live chat while my eyes are reading the page, but hello to everyone Um, and thank you god ravage. Thanks for being here. I'm glad you enjoyed it I I've enjoyed it. I've enjoyed doing it Uh, okay air tight falls off his chair laughing the other g. I joes are laughing too mainly because it didn't happen to them This is a very easily amused bunch Uh blowtorch doesn't laugh fire is not a joking matter to him Munt mutt angrily leaps at airtight, but snake eyes pulls him back with a simple flip flick of the wrist Uh, you shouldn't play jokes on mutt. You tell air tight who is still laughing mutt spends so much time with dogs He's likely to bite your leg You're right. He gave his own mother rabies air tight shoots back that air tight Everyone laughs even spirit who usually disapproves of rowdiness But the laughter stops immediately when duke enters the briefing room Time to get serious guys He says rubbing a hand slowly through his short blonde hair. I was wondering where that hand was going I've got a small job for you, but is it plump? Uh, see Oh, uh turn to page 20. I almost kept reading. I've got to turn to page 20 Yeah, okay page 20 The duke switches on these slide projector and uh a face appears on the screen It's the face of a man with uh white uh wavy white hair piercing blue eyes And a short cropped white mustache the man is dressed in a long white lab coat It's baron iron blood. No This is dr. Newton Fitzsimmons duke says we have done this book like a couple of times, right? Yeah Yeah spirit spork Spirit spork does not approve of rowdiness Clicks to the next slide it shows a small red red metal device It doesn't look like much does it but it's a heavy-duty machine What exactly is it sarge? You ask it's called the star raider. It's a nuclear anti-missile device It could be launched from any kind of space satellite You better believe that the boys at the pentagon are real eager to see how this little beauty works That's where we come in We're going to uh borrow it from the scientist airtight says That's too simple duke says we're not gonna steal it. I wouldn't need you guys for that I mean he wouldn't he's got other guys if he wants to steal it Uh No, it seems that the defense department has invited dr. F To washington he he's agreed to fly here and bring his plans for the star raider To show to the big boys at the pentagon page 21 And our job you asked our job is to protect dr. F during his visit to the u.s Duke says you see i've left out one little detail cobra. It seems It knows about the star raider the douchey villains of cobra They know about the star raider Um and cobra also knows about the doctor's visit to washington My guess is they'll try something anything to get those plans for themselves You look around the table and the gi joe team that will be with you on this mission snake eyes The silent master of the martial arts ripcord the silent master of the paratrooper Blow torch the silent master of the fire expert Spirit spork the silent expert of the soldier with the special skills of a native american medicine man Airtight the the silent master Whose specialty is chemical warfare and whose hobby is practical jokes and mutt the silent master of the feisty dog handler Uh cobra should know better than a tangle with this group bunch of silent masters Duke presents you with two different plans for protecting dr. Fincimans and his invention a strategy specialist A strategy specialist for the team You will have to decide which plan to put an operation to page four Read the plans carefully Wise guy, I guess that's our codename. Our codename name is wise guy Wise guy And then uh choice faction so page four so after this next page we should have a choice to make No, we don't So we're gonna reach page four then we're gonna reach page five and then Then we have a choice to make so page four Is plan a okay Wise guy for your eyes only operation starator two strategies plan a in full view object to throw cobra off The track by doing what they'd least expect Background fit Simmons plane will land at kennedy airport in new york He will then be taken to washington fit Simmons will arrive on parade day in new york city A giant parade in honor of all the other parades that are held in the city is scheduled. So it's a parade I know we've read this book I know that it's a parade for parades Um, and I'm sure like the citizens of new york city Really enjoy having the streets blocked off for another parade this one just in honor of the other parades Uh strategy Don't try to hide dr. Fit Simmons Have him ride in the parade up fifth avenue with the mayor in full view of everyone This sure won't be expecting that will they at the end of the parade route The mayor gets out the car continues on accompanied by the joe team to the meeting place in washington rationale cobra will be totally surprised certainly Also, it would be next to impossible for cobra to kidnap fit Simmons from an official limo in the middle of a crowded parade That's plan a you know that scene from airplane When like robert stack is in the tower And the guy says hey, maybe we should turn the search lights on now and he says No That's just what they'll be expecting us to do I Feel this is the same strategy So that's plan a okay Now plan b mountain retreat Object to get dr. Fit Simmons to the most hidden secluded place possible Taco bell Background snake eyes owns a small cabin in the high seers Where he goes to escape from the world with his pet wolf It is secret and secluded as far as is known cobra is unaware of it Strategy takes its Simmons directly from the plane to this Hidden cabin in the mountains have the defense department officials meet with him there and see his plans Then fly back fly him back to australia So hey, there's the australian we got several australians in uh the show who have been chatting with us Uh, apparently one of you guys invented a super secret device thing Rationale Uh, he he can be gotten in and out of the country without cobra ever knowing where he is Also, the mountain cabin would be easy to defend against attack if cobra should happen to locate fit Simmons So that's plan b so Did anybody asked Snake eyes For permission to use his secluded cabin for this mission Or like like hey snake eyes if you object to us using your private cabin for this mission Just speak up right now So snake eyes just just say the word Just speak now or forever forever hold your peace if you have any objection to us using your cabin in the woods for this mission No objection for snake eyes Okay, hearing none hearing no objection from snake eyes You know, we've got plan b worked out here. Okay, so Remember plan b was in full view I'm sorry plan a was in full view plan b is the mountain retreat Um So if you if you would like to do plan a if you have plan a the full view parade plan Um, that's page 54 Plan b is page 62 So in yonder live chat Make your selection if you would prefer plan a type 54 and enter If you would like plan b Type 62 and enter now while you guys are making your selection. I'm gonna rest my voice for a second Yeah, see this you guys didn't know that you would be a theme. Apparently we have an australia theme for the show Okay All right, we got a couple 54s got a couple 62s right now. It's totally even Dan said b. So the interpreting that is 62. So we've got It's still pretty even still pretty even like I'll give it a few seconds here and see How it plays out See how it plays out 62 54 62 64 I think the 62s are like just barely ahead But man, that's that's close 62 let's inconvenience snake eyes 69 69 dudes uh Like I think 62 is is ahead by a little bit, but it's actually fairly close Yeah, a couple more seconds. See if anybody else has a vote. I know that there is lag So, um 54 plan b was is so responsible. So I went with the other one Um What's think guys can't tell us is that he stole platypus eyes cabin Uh Nobody knows what happened to platypus eyes. Nobody ever heard from him again But snake eyes Just started occupying his cabin So there's another 62. I think I think it's going to be 62, but that was a close one. That was really close I'm gonna go with 62 I think that edged out a little bit That was close though. That was close that that's cool though. That's it's cool to have like Fairly close votes. That's fine. Okay, so we're gonna go with 62 A snake eyes did not object We gave him a chance to speak up and he said nothing. So we're gonna go with page 62 all right You look up into the purple and white sierra mountains a large graceful bird floats lazily above the tall pine trees floats a smelly moist and heraly above The tall pine trees the air is brisk and refreshing And and jiggly It's beautiful spirit spork says quietly, but even scenery as beautiful as this can hide many dangers So far the mission has gone well Dr. Fitzsimmons and his secret plans arrived At the airport right on time from there you and joe team ushered him into an unmarked jet and flew west Now you your convoy of jeeps is about to begin to climb up the steep and narrow trail That winds towards snake eyes cabins in the mountains You are armed with m16 rifles and blowtorch has his trusty flamethrower in tow But there are no signs of danger The only sounds you hear as you give the signal to move up the trail are the whispers of the wind And the soft chirping birds That's beautiful That that is beautiful That's lovely. That's almost poetic Will your trip be uh, will your trip to these secluded cabins stay as peaceful page 63 Your jeep climbs the trail slowly, but surely Low scrub gives way to tall pine trees and the twisting trail grows dark beneath them Hold on. Sorry check in check in check in Okay, all right, let's see We're uh, what are we gonna do up in that cabin while we're waiting for the generals to come airtight Asks all this nature stuff up here makes me nervous anyone bring a deck of cars Yeah, that that's the thing to worry about On a super secret mission is being bored Uh wait, you hiss gesturing for airtight to be quiet. Please airtight be quiet ahead you see a large boulder in the middle of the trail That boulder didn't fall there spirit spork says Raising his rifle. It was put there maybe to stop us Suddenly gunfire flares from the trees On both sides of the trail Spirit spork was right. It's a smelly ambush Oh page 87 87 87 87 You leap Out of the jeeps and hit the dirt mud pulls dr. Fitzsimons out of the gunfire Get down doc. He cries We got us a little action here kaplow plow kaplow plow The quiet mountain air is filled with automatic weapon fire. That's what automatic weapon fire found sounds like kaplow plow Kaplow plow Twice Uh, you can see your foes advancing through the thick pine trees firing their weapons cobra soldiers Uh, they've got you outnumbered by the uh, at least five to one We ought to probably should have been a little more prepared Geez like we we could have brought as many guys as we wanted We could kill like just it doesn't have to all be joes although there are plenty of joes To have brought along on this mission To outnumber the bad guys, but no we got like seven guys We got seven guys and so Uh cobra sends a platoon And we're we're automatically outnumbered plus they've got good cover Genius And this is coming from wise guy Like the the cheap strategy officer Where the hell are we we got to clear out One side so we can get into the woods airtight yells blasting into the trees with an m16 There are too many of them We're safer here by the jeep strip cord yells heaving a grenade at a group of cobras As strategy specialists you have to choose which plan is better Ready ready to vote again Ready to vote again. All right Oh, hello Chrissy. How you doing? Thanks for joining. We're doing story time All right, do you want to stay by the jeeps? That is page 27 27 Do you want to try to get to the woods? That's page 52 So type in your choice Uh 27 if you want to stay by the jeeps and 52 if you want to go into the woods Huh and while you are making your selections I can rest my voice just for a minute The story is is rather moist, isn't it? Uh, let's see Okay, all right 52 we got it's all 52 so far It's all 52 so far We got a 27 But so far 52 is like way ahead But we'll give it a little bit more time Just to see So like the the enemy has totally taken us by surprise Even though we knew they were they were possibly coming They have attacked us in force with greater numbers Uh, and and they have good cover Coming from the woods attacking our exposed position on the trail Um, so option one page 27 is so if we just want to stay put, you know Cover is overrated, right? Um Yeah kaplow kaplow The sound of moist lasers So I so far 52 is like way ahead. I'll give a another minute or so just to see if if if anybody thinks that Hanging around the jeeps Is a good plan now. I will say this I will say this these these books They trick us sometimes sometimes like the most logical and reasonable option Is you see it's the one that ends up getting us killed And that that is a fair criticism of these books is like Making the the most reasonable choice Isn't always the right one sometimes it's like random It is a it is a rather plump mission Okay, so I think I think everybody has voted The choice is page 52. It's like let's get out of here. Let's get some cover. Let's head for the woods 52 52 50 50 50 here we go 52 Airtight is right He isn't just being reckless this time. You yell we're sitting ducks here in the middle of the road Let's clean out the woods air tight yells jumping and running into the woods is m16 blasting crazy fool Blow torch yells But he's right behind I'm sorry, but he's right behind air tight His deadly flamethrower is spitting in all directions. Well, watch out for that. Don't don't hit me with it The rest of the joe team follows them into the trees attacking with rifles and grenades Ac ac ac ac ac Ac ac ac ac ac Ac ac ac ac ac Is that's that's build the that's a build the cat quote Ac ac ac ac ac the cobras don't retreat a step They know they have you outnumbered whoosh The underbrush in front of you burst into flame as blow torch goes to work That should push him back a bit. He cries But there's too many of them. You soon see that you cannot win this battle You look around where can you retreat? Then suddenly you hear guns blasting from behind the cobras. Someone else has entered the battle page 53 The cobras spin around and begin firing in the other direction. Now they are being attacked from both sides You peer through the trees as you advance against the cobras to see Who the new combatants are destro you cry Is destro really going up against cobra? He usually works with them. Yes, it's destro then notorious weapons supplier And a band of mercenaries of course It makes sense you tell yourself Destro would love to get a hold of the plans for the star raider Then he could sell them to the highest bidder You decide to use this opportunity to get dr. Fitzsimmons to safety Let them battle it out you call to the joe team Let's get dr. F up to the cabin As the cobras and destro soldiers trade fire you and the others make your way up the trail dr. F is shaken but unharmed Snake eyes unlocks the door to the small cabin Imagine if snake eyes forgot his keys Think about that Everybody could be dead if snake eyes forgot his keys to the cabin Let's say that if up to the cabin as cobras so Snake eyes cabin locks it behind you. Yeah, he is yes, you know, you lock the door behind you don't You don't want to make it too easy for cobra You know you get in the cabin You're getting all buttoned up and then the cobra just comes in and opens the door because you forgot to lock it So he locks the door But it isn't much of a fortress you realize and whoever wins the fight in the woods will soon be coming after dr. F Should you radio the pit for backup? Uh for backup help the backup might not reach you in time Or should you prepare the cabin for an all-out battle? So here are your choices. All right Hello, michael richman. I thank you for being here snake eyes and the search for the keys book two. Yeah, see The epic story What and happens more often as you get older? What where did I put my keys? All right. Okay, so here are your options. Do you want to prepare the cabin for battle? That is page 37 37 Or do you want to radio for help page eight? So make your selection page 37 if you want to prepare the cabin for battle Or if you want to radio for help Turn to page eight for apparently for some reason we can't do both right Um, well, I I I don't know why We have to choose one or the other Uh, but apparently we can't do both we must either. Oh, sorry. I just I thought I thought this had a lid on it. Um, I just splashed sorry Splash water. It's fine. It's fine. It's it's it's okay. It's okay It's all as well Nothing short-circuited. So yeah page eight Or if you want to radio for help Or page 37 If you want to prepare for battle Because for some reason in this story, we are not allowed to do both. Hang on a second Made a slight mess here But we got it we got it Like so far every single vote is for eight so like Can we not multitask here? Can one person not like radio for help while the others prepare the because You're probably gonna have a battle anyway, even if reinforcements show up Uh, okay, so I think I think we saved it The equipment is dry now all as well No permanent harm done I'm just slinging water everywhere because I'm I'm I'm pointing the the open bottle of water for emphasis Okay, so we do have some votes for 37 Yeah, so 37 is starting to catch up. I don't know that you that they've necessarily caught up to eight yet um I I think eight one, but 37 did get some votes in there. So not to the 37s, but I'm going with page eight I'm going with page eight. Let's uh, let's see what happens Let's see what happens. Let's um All right page eight radio for help. Here we go page and that's all the way back here. There we go All right This is wise guy red alert 10 red alert 10 you call the radio We're at location d1 situation critical over The reply from the pit is immediate. We read you wise guys sky strikers will be on their way in seconds Hold on there, buddy. Give us a couple hours over a couple hours So apparently we get like we got we just radio for help and there's no help within two hours And we're are we going to do nothing else? Uh, you turn to dr. Fitzsimmons and the gi of joes who are preparing the cabin for battle. So that was the other suggestion So we're still we are actually doing both We are actually doing both Which is like what we should have done anyway. That's weird. Um We've got to hold them off for a couple hours You tell them they look at you Unable to hide their grim express expressions Will it be cobra or destros hired guns who get to his first spirit spork wonders allowed? Uh, you don't have to wait long to find out One wall of the cabin explodes in flame Yikes rifle shots ring out the fire the fight has begun They've already blown up a wall in the cabin. That would probably kill everyone. But let's keep reading Out out of the cabin you cry as the flames begin to spread We'll never make it dr. Fitzsimmons cries his face filled with panic. Is he right turn to page 83 83 it's getting plump moist and hairy down here Uh, what do you say 83? Uh, yeah, wait wait just one parsec Dr. Fitzsimmons stands frozen as the flames grow closer. He's frozen And yet it should be rather warm with the flames You grab him by the arm and pull him from the cabin just as it collapses to the ground And a deafening crash. Oh By the way snake eyes, um Not only did we borrow your cabin, uh, it's kind of destroyed now Um, you can you got you you're insured, right? You got insurance on that, right? You're covered I'm I'm sure there's nothing to worry about The deafening cry automatic rifle Uh fire surrounds you. I wonder if it sounds like a kaplow kaplow Uh, you're you you duck down and follow blowtorch into the trees You can't see where you're running because of the smoke You're both coughing and choking now grab him a voice A loud voice cries you spin around prepared to fight, but you are too late You've been captured by cobra soldiers blowtorch puts up a struggle But he is zapped on the head with a rifle, but I've zapped with a rifle. Okay, whatever And he struggles no longer the cobras drag you dr. F and blowtorch to a jeep As the joe team continues to fight off the cobras in the woods the jeep roars off down the trail Where are they taking you page 30? They're taking you to page 30 We're not dead yet We're not dead yet A few miles down the trail is a low shingle structure that stretches into the woods The jeep pulls up to the rear entrance entrance and the cobras drag you inside You find yourself in a hot windowless corridor move a cobra soldier order is pushing you In the back with a rifle hang on a second So not only did cobra take us by surprise At this place that we assumed cobra knew nothing about Apparently they had a structure they had built a structure nearby That we had no knowledge of We are idiots The three of you are taken to a low ceilings room lit by a single fluorescent bulb A figure steps forward to greet you a masked figure cobra commander taco commander Aha, dr. Fitzsimmons. I believe welcome to our humble headquarters. It's so nice of you to stop by to deliver your plans.
