Oh Thank you very much Okay, let me just grab the URL here and drop it into Facebook real quick How's everybody doing tonight? Hello Chris? Hi David. Hey Byron. How you doing Brandon? Nice to see you. All right, there we go Benny is ready very good All right. Hey, you know, I actually have some topics I have stuff to talk about I have stuff to talk about in this live stream So I'll let give everybody a chance to you know Come in and take their seats and then we'll get started then we'll get started Hello orderly owl alley viper and I see you and Josiah and Gray Fox. Hi. How you doing Ben? Hey Gray Fox is finally on time for a live stream. Well about time Gray Fox. We've all been waiting on you New movie comes out in March 2020. Yeah, that's one thing that I want to talk about I want to talk about the new movie some news about the new movie. So we'll cover that we'll cover that. Hi, John Hey, Kevin. Well, thank you Thanks everyone for for showing up here. That's awesome. I appreciate you guys coming to the live stream You guys make this enjoyable for me. So I'm glad to have you here I'm doing well. It's it's we're right in the middle of a really busy work week. So, you know, I'm I'm busy. I've been doing a lot, but I mean I'm tired, but I'm not bad I'm okay. It's just like normal work tired kind of thing. Hey, McDowen. How you doing yo Joe to McDowen? Oh, yeah, new animated series new figures and vehicles. I hadn't heard about a new animated series But we ought to get some new toys at retail when the movie is released Although of course, I don't collect modern GI Joe. So what I should say is you should get more figures and vehicles once the movie is released And the more I hear about the more optimistic I'm getting about the movie You know, as there there are always more ways to Screw it up than there are to do it right But I feel like some of the decisions that they seem to be making Sound like good decisions. So, you know, I'm I'm still cautiously optimistic about the upcoming snake eyes movie Hello, Michael Bassett. Nice to see you Yeah, so So We've got stuff to cover this time we got stuff to cover Since we're a few minutes into it, I'll go ahead and jump in. Oh, what's this? Yeah, great Fox that I do want my collection to you know, have some bookends, you know to have it be fine I don't want it. I can't afford to have my collection cover of truly everything. So, yeah I try to keep within the scope of Vintage era there have been a couple occasions where I've gotten a few other things but Stick with vintage I tell you the the thing that maybe Decide to do that was the documentary about Air Devon So that's what That what that's what really prompted me to think about how to limit my collection to where it would still be big enough that I would enjoy But it's not going to take over the whole house. If you know what I mean Oh Vendor Kane Is trying to collect his or complete his son next collection. I passed away from leukemia. Sorry for your loss I'm sorry for your loss. That does sound like a nice way to kind of connect with that Memory though, so that's that's a kind of a cool idea Hey Brandon, I got to get back with you on the emails I've been a little bit behind on getting to my emails. So sorry about that, but I'll get back with you Brandon I have seen the emails, but I just I've been I've been a little bit behind it's um It's been a very busy week So Okay, let's the topic I want to start with first and I'd kind of like to do this more regularly on the Livestreams. Oh Jeffrey. Hello to Fort Sill, South Carolina from the United States I Wanted I'd like to Have a few minutes to talk about the most recent review which this time was airtight So if anybody has Some thoughts about airtight now is the time by the way Joe Joe motion videos 82. Mr. Byron is also a really awesome guy. So I'm always happy to see Byron in here So airtight it was a patron's choice review patrons voted on it as Delvis said there don't Google it unless you're prepared to be shocked but Yeah, so I Gave the patrons a ton of options basically everything that didn't win a poll this year got a second chance So out of all of those airtight was the winner Chris has airtight in a shoebox Well, I hoped you poked little holes in the shoebox so we can breathe. Did you ever think of that, huh? Hey David Lewis and son. Hi guys. Thanks for showing up So yeah airtight was I think an interesting choice But it's one that I had kind of been looking forward to doing for a little while not so much because of the figure itself, but When I worked at the courthouse, you know when I had cases at our courthouse downtown I would regularly have cases in front of one particular judge and the bailiff for that judge found out about my YouTube channel talking about it and he mentioned that He really enjoyed this GI Joe action figure you didn't even remember the name of the figure He just remembered it was yellow and it was green and it had a helmet and He would use it as a pilot Because he didn't have any idea what the figure you know actually was Well, I thought he might have been talking about airtight So I went and dug into my extra figures. I pulled out an airtight and I I gave Phil an airtight so that was a kind of a fun thing to like Share GI Joe with someone who's not like a hardcore fan, but still remembers it, you know remembers enjoying it back then and you know Bring something, you know bring some new information to the tables He can learn something about it that he didn't know before So I just really enjoyed that so that was fun. So I did want to Review airtight was he is he tall and bald now? He's tall, but he's got like a hair and a beard Although I do think that all bailiffs should be tall and bald There are sometimes when we might have a little less trouble in the courtroom If the bailiffs were, you know a little taller and a bit more imposing But yeah airtight I did sometimes Yeah Night court was was one of my favorite shows back then There was a We had a friend in law school who was bald and just a coincidence I I Happen to be bailiffing a competition that he was competing in and I Mentioned to him that you know, he looks a lot more like bull from night court than I do So frankly, I think he should be the bailiff But there are some figures that I are not is easy to review because You know, they don't have as many Media appearances You know that they're not major characters, you know when they did have appearances their role was limited And so, you know, you have to really kind of dig deep to find out what you're gonna say about about these figures and Airtime I really had to think about airtight to figure out what I wanted to say about him Had to think about like what's what's the essence of airtight? What's the what's important about this figure and one thing that? Struck me as I was looking more into eco warriors is like why isn't airtight an eco warrior It just seems to make sense to me that they would have him on that team. Oh the movie the rock. Yeah, that's a good point Hey, that's a good point. I hadn't thought of that, but yeah The the movie the rock I haven't seen for quite a while, but I can see why you would think airtight Yon Eric from Montreal hello Montreal from the United States He uses his airtight with sky striker. See I he kind of looks like a pilot doesn't he it's the helmet. Hello, Green Yeti. How you doing? So, yeah the The non-removable helmet We had always has it on it it could easily be taken as a pilot's helmet and that suit that he has Could be easily taken as like a pilot's jumpsuit Yeah, so Airtight I thanks for everyone for watching the video the video actually did pretty well. I Always worry that you know People are not gonna watch On videos that I know that it's a less popular figure and you know when I look at As a kind of response that I get when I do something popular then obviously it gets a lot more views But really it people actually did watch the video, so thank you. Thank you for actually watching the video airtight's head became a Came part of a ball neck copper head conversion now. That's that's interesting Yeah, I can see that it does have a little bit of a copper head look with that Helmeted mask hello. Hi, Green Yeti What's up? Gunner in the tank, you know that would That'd be pretty fairly good roll to actually in when he started an issue what it was issue number 4 he was in the mauler. Yeah, he was kind of Writing shotgun in the mauler tank with with heavy metal Green Yeti, you know you're I'm glad you're here when you can be here and if not well We will hopefully see you next time I'm just grateful for everyone that does show up every week. It's really cool to talk to you guys Just due to the schedule I haven't been able to keep track of like comments and I've had a hard time replying to Emails and stuff. So this has been a nice way for me to you know Keep up with you guys and actually talk with you guys and interact with you Fat cat is from Canada. Hello, Canada from the United States Alright, hang on one second. Hey the dog's outside dog wants in time out. I'll be right back Remember that and we're back. All right. Now who said I should be president? I'll do it If I were drafted, I would accept the nomination Yeah, I let the dogs in Anyway, so so thanks everyone for actually tuning in for the airtight video The next review is actually already done I just finished it I uploaded it It's scheduled and I had to do it I had to finish it early because I actually have a whole bunch of stuff to do before the end of the year and the End of the year is getting awfully close. So it's making me a little nervous. How many? Like you mostly small videos, but how many videos I still have to do before the end of the year And One video that's not gonna be small is the question and answer video and I was I had worried that Doing the live stream kind of made the question and answer video obsolete, but when I mentioned it a Few people did have a positive response. So I guess people still want to do the question and answer So Q&A video will be the last video of the year. So that's gonna be a big one so that'll that's another thing that I need to do before the end of the year and then Another thing I have to do before the end of the year is I need to think about The changes that I need to make for 2019 every year I try to do a new intro I Try to tweak the format a little bit And I need to think about what kind of changes I will want to make next year Yeah, I'm not I don't Intend to make large changes. I mean the channel is doing really well. And so if it's not broken I haven't don't want to fix it but there might be just a tweak here and there that might Improve things to make it a better experience. So I Gotta think about that because you know the first video of 2019 is gonna be coming up before we know it Hey, our delvis. I already said I wasn't gonna sing but I tell you what if if if you Make too big of a deal out of it. I just might Now let's now look here if everybody who gets who Who complains about the singing gets a song so be careful Yeah, so I'm not gonna sing I'm not Besides the fact that I don't sing well those videos are actually kind of a pain to put together and so I Always hope that I don't have a musical idea for a video because I know it's gonna be a pain to To shoot an etiquette and edit I could do a musical as long as somebody, you know, I'll just have to lip-sync So Yeah, so all of those things are coming up and there is not very much time and also I Don't know if anybody's you know Heard about this but there are Holidays that come up, you know kind of end of December 1st of January kind of time period and those things are going on and I've got a you know You know, I've got holiday stuff that I need to do too So I'm trying to get myself in the holiday spirit, you know, I'm trying to so Yeah So anyways the whole the point of that was The next review is done. It's ready. It's it's in the can It is uploaded to YouTube. I'm not gonna tell you what it is but in fact like I've still got a lot of clutter around me as I usually do just leftover stuff from reviews that I haven't put away yet and And if I were to turn the camera around you would instantly know what review is because Yeah, it's just everywhere. Oh But hey, hey, I will be debuting something new that I got recently Tomorrow in a quick shot. So a quick shot coming up tomorrow and It's something new something that I just acquired and I think it's pretty neat. Oh, I think you'll like it Stephen asked if I've reviewed any slaughter's marauders figures. I have not gotten to the figures yet but I'd like to I've done vehicles, but I haven't gotten to the figures yet Michael Bassett asked of when I'll do be doing another unboxing video. That's a good question I'm going to be doing one very soon I've got to do one for December But I wanted to wait a little bit longer just to make sure that I have received everything that I'm going to receive this month And then I'll I'll Do an unboxing video and I'll do a proper unboxing video. I kind of came to the conclusion that Opening things for the live stream, although that's fun. I enjoy doing it Maybe isn't the best way to do it. I think those deserve their own unboxing videos. So next one Next one will be a proper unboxing video And it should come pretty soon Just a little bit closer to the end of December. So good question. Good question That's actually something that I've been giving some thought to Was red dog just a meaner big lob that's a good question I sort of But I mean but he talked less and that was good He didn't do that play-by-play thing, which was nice If I had to choose between Red dog and big lob. That's an easy choice And the red dog figures some parts of it are kind of interesting now, of course, you have to get past the colorful Sport jersey the same as with bazooka If you can tolerate it with bazooka, I guess you won't wouldn't mind it with red dog, but Yeah That's a hey and two sport themes Sport themed characters in the same movie Mercer Mercer is pretty good figure I Look forward to looking at Mercer Both the first and the second versions of the figure because I think version two was not a bad update 1987 running out of ideas 1987 had There were issues in 1987 their mistakes were made Do I have a scrap iron figure I do have a scrap iron figure. Thank you But Zuka is your wife's favorite character. Well, it's cool It's nice that your wife has a favorite character You know my wife is married to a G. Ijo toy reviewer and I don't think she even has a favorite character. So that's nice Cobra la la la la la la la So we're we're not quite halfway through this video and I have another topic I have another topic to discuss There is a little bit of new information about the the upcoming G. Ijo snake eyes solo movie Coming up in 2020 So I wanted to get your thoughts about that One piece of new information and then another sort of Non-story The new information is that the new snake eyes movie will not have Ray Park reprises role as snake eyes And the reason for this they said yeah, no Ray Park the reason they said they were doing this is because of Ray Park's age I guess this is going to be kind of like a snake eyes origin story So at some point we should get snake eyes without his mask And so they're they need someone younger than Ray Park But yeah, great fox says keep Ray Park for the mask scenes. I would be fine with that He I you know I have my problems with the two live-action G. Ijo movies, but Ray Park wasn't one of those problems That guy just He seems Right as snake eyes And that's an in a role where he doesn't talk. He doesn't have his face shown so he doesn't he has no agents of expression He just has to communicate with body language and gesture And he I think he did a fine job but Yeah, Stephen didn't dig the last movies hope this one will be great. Those are my thoughts too. I I liked retaliation a lot more than Rise of Cobra, but retaliation had its problems to retaliation was not a perfect movie It was definitely an improvement though but But I'm going to choose to be optimistic about The snake eyes movie I'm choosing the optimistic, you know, I don't want to be one of these, you know these negative fans that has to dump on everything especially if it's like You know 1% different from what what I wanted I'm not going to be that way if they can just make a good movie Even if it's not necessarily a movie that directly appeals to me But just a movie that will be good for a general audience, you know all thumbs up for me so I'm crossing my fingers because a Lot a lot rides on this new movie Gijo needs another generation of fans and In order to make that happen We've got to get Gijo in in front of the next generation in a way that they will enjoy It's got to be something that they will enjoy So I'm hoping that they can do that. I'm really really hopeful Yeah Now the other story, which is kind of a non-story is about the John Cena fan theory And that's another thing that I'm very cautious about Fan theories can be dangerous things right because fan theories can set up people's Expectations and then if it doesn't turn out to match the fan theory then everybody winds and complains well If the you know, I'm not gonna be like that I'm not gonna be that like that, but you know, there is a fan theory out there that deserves to be addressed and that is the That John Cena's character is connected in GI Joe in some way Well the filmmakers and the actors were asked about this and essentially they neither confirmed nor denied That being true Roguesh Paladin Doesn't like the Joe Transformers crossover. I'm with you I am not a fan of the Joe Transformers crossover It really is not my thing at all I don't really think those universes mesh very well personally. So I agree with you there But on the other side, it's something that I know they're going to do they're going to do it Whether we prefer it or not Because Hasbro, I think is still wanting to build this cinematic universe So Somewhere down the line, we are going to get GI Joe and Transformers mashed together. I Think that's just inevitable at this point So if they're gonna do it my hope is that they will at least do it well and Now some some fan theories were that John Cena was going to be Duke Basically John Cena is Duke in the Transformers movie. I don't think that's correct I think he's more likely to be a character Similar to Joe could to I can't talk a character similar similar to Joe Joe Colton Kind of like the The first Joe the Trans the Bumblebee movie apparently I guess is set in the 80s so the timeline would make sense if The John Cena character is kind of a proto Joe Then that could lead to the creation of the GI Joe team And I think that would that's not a bad idea You know if you're gonna build a cinematic universe, you can't do it all at once You got to you got to ease into it. You got to do it slowly The reason you do it slowly is because it forces you to focus on each piece and give it the proper attention That it deserves so that you can make each piece of your cinematic universe good Before you try to mash them together and one thing that if they're gonna do it And if it's gonna start with the Bumblebee movie then doing it with like maybe just a little bit of Hint of GI Joe like this much Is a fine way to start give us a tiny little setup and then build on that perhaps with the snake eyes movie and if the snake eyes movie is an origin story then I Know Steve from GI Joe Berg had the theory that or had a desire I guess I should say for the GI Joe movie to be set in the 80s. Well this The snake eyes movie has the potential to be set in the 80s For the regular GI Joe movie for the whole team They were talking about being more modern Being updated and for that I didn't think they were gonna be setting it in the past But they could set the snake eyes movie in the past and have that lead up to their new Sleek and modern GI Joe movies. So yeah, that's a I think that's a possibility And that that might work setting it in the 80s Maybe a little too early Just based on like If they're gonna have the GI Joe movie as a fully modern movie happening today Then if you have snake eyes as origin story set in the 80s Then I think you I think that still makes them too old Too much time will have passed. So maybe you set it in the 90s something like that but Oh, hey, I saw comic tropes. Hello comic tropes. How you doing? If it doesn't have a Chabong we riot, you know When are we finally going to get a live action Chabong? When is it gonna happen? So Yeah, I'm I'm choosing to be optimistic about it and I'm not going to be a nitpicky fan. I You know as someone who wants to see the next generation Drawn to GI Joe. I have to give the filmmakers Lee way to experiment and take risks They've got to be allowed to take some risks and if you take risks, you know, sometimes the those risks don't pay off But you can't you can't push the envelope if you don't try something so So I'm gonna give I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt I'm gonna give them some leeway and see what they come up with and and hope that it's something that will Draw the next generation of fans into GI Joe I still think that's possible people say that it's impossible. I disagree when I see Properties that are much older than GI Joe and even like properties that in the past have sometimes been more violent than GI Joe Properties that you know Have at least an element. That's military focused and those have done just fine and Have drawn in a lot of young fans and if those things can do it then GI Joe can do it It just needs The right story that just needs The since we're talking movies now, then it needs the right movie But it's gonna be something that That will appeal to kids today or not necessarily appeal to kids not necessarily appeal to kids But it's gonna be something that will appeal to everyone This is the genius of Marvel Cinematic Universe is that you know Most of these movies and the TV shows Kids can watch them and enjoy them and have fun and it's a big adventure It's a you know a big superhero story But for adults watching it it has a bit more meat to it, you know It's not just for kids. So That's what I feel like they have to do for GI Joe it has to be something that's fun for kids But you know an adult has to be able to sit through that and watch it too. So Not easy. I'm not saying it's easy but But I don't I don't think that's impossible. I think it can happen. I think it can happen And I think eventually, you know, it will happen I hope that it happens with this movie, but I Considering how much money GI Joe has made for Hasbro in the past You know, even if it failed again Even this if this next movie bombed and it turned out to not be what we hoped it would be Unless they're allergic to money at some point in the future They're gonna try to make money with that franchise again in some way We may have to wait a long time for it, but They'll they'll they'll keep trying So, you know, I'm optimistic in that sense, but in the other on the other hand You know, I don't want to I don't want to Be the oldest at well not Joe con but like Joe Fest now I guess I don't want to be the last generation of GI Joe fan And I'd like to see the next generation of GI Joe fan in my lifetime You know, I don't want to be the one that that shuts the lights out when the party's over so So that's why I really hope that this next movie does Um better, I hope it does well, and I hope that that kids like it. Oh, yeah so GI Joe babies It'd be like mumpet babies, but more violence more guns Thanks Lazarus. I'm glad that that my reviews are generating some interest I just I hope that Somehow we can translate that into something that That will appeal to the next generation of fans. That's what I'm when I'm looking at the GI Joe movie. That's what I'm thinking about. I'm thinking about the next generation Oh the old live action commercials Um gray fox asks about the old live action commercials Hey, there was a really cool panel at Joe con about those live action commercials Where Kirk was Iggy and talked about the production and everything they had lots of like behind the scenes footage Um, it was really interesting um The the live action commercials obviously I think uh were successful They really seem to bring in uh kids and Kids that seem to respond to them. Well, I think Looking back at them. Some of them can be a little bit hokey but um Overall, you know ignoring some of them hokey or bits The they're amazingly well produced amazingly well produced for you know a toy commercial I mean those could not have been cheap to make um I mean all the sets out like full-scale vehicles they had Uh and like aerial battles with the gliders I mean, uh, that's It's just impressive to see Um and after seeing what went into creating those it's it's even more impressive. It's uh Uh, it's pretty cool. And I think uh, who has it? Um 3d joes put on a panel Uh put on the the panel about um Uh the commercials in at joe con Uh, yeah, karson from 3d joes That and that yes, uh, and hello joe fan 82 nice to see you and joe fan 82 is correct. Um, or at least I think he is that uh 3d joes puts the panel up On the youtube channel and he may have also done like a super clip of the uh of the live action spots I could be wrong about that but uh, but check joe fan 82. Uh, he's the one who put on the panel and interviewed uh, kirk bezigian about the um The live action commercials. Uh, so uh, that's absolutely something to check out And while i'm at it 3d joes is a really cool website Um karson from 3d joes seems like a really cool guy um, he's uh produced some books that um uh have the uh artwork like Virtually all of the artwork like the painted artwork for the entire toy line It's really beautifully reproduced uh in high quality high, uh High quality books So, uh, uh, karson there's somebody who's Uh done a nice, uh Bit of work for the community has really given back to the community. So I gotta appreciate karson from 3d joes Hello non snarl. How you doing? um, and i'm sorry i'm not keeping up with your your uh With the live uh chat as much as I'd like to so I'm trying to scroll back and see some of your some of your comments, but they go too fast. So Uh, oh, yeah cards of the live action commercialists. Yeah, that's right. They did have some cards, didn't they? I've seen those cards at least I've seen some of those cards Oh david introduces son to uh, joe. He uh loves them Um, oh good and he likes the videos. Well, thanks david. Uh, that's appreciated. Thank you very much And I'm glad he likes it. I really do. Uh, hey mike mordok. How you doing? um What's my favorite sci-fi looking joe slash cobra vehicle? Oh, that's a good question. Let me hold on. Let me think for a second. Let me think for a second Um, okay on a cobra vehicle. This is easy. It's a easy question to answer on a cobra vehicle Okay, my favorite sci-fi looking cobra vehicle is the his tank The his tank don't look like anything like any regular tank Uh, but it is really cool looking. Um, it just I just love that design. It's it's It's elegant. Um Yeah, his tank, that's my favorite, uh for, um, a cobra vehicle now for a joe vehicle. This is going to be tougher to decide Uh, let's see not the shark. Shark wouldn't be my pick Um, I mean technically the killer whale isn't exactly modeled after a real world vehicle But the killer whale is not science fiction. So that doesn't count I can't pick my favorite because that doesn't count for the question Um Um, oh man. Why can't I think um the skyhawk is nice um Why can't I answer this question? Let's see here Um, man, I'm blanking. Hang on a second Let's see Uh, Alex says his would be the skyhawk. Uh, the skyhawk is pretty good. Skyhawk is pretty awesome um It's a small vehicle though And I don't know. I mean one obvious answer might be the defiant the big space shuttle Um, but I don't know that that's necessarily my favorite Uh rolling thunder, that's a good option too. That's a good option to Not based on something real world kind of sci-fi, but still has a bit of a military feel to it with the green Uh, you know, so, uh, that's not a bad choice as well um Let's see. Uh, what was um, let's see See 85, uh 1985 head vehicles that were mostly grounded in reality um 1986 See and I like the the conquest x32, but Based that's based on a real jet. So not that's not very science fiction I'm not going to pick the havoc. Sorry. Sorry for fans of the havoc. I'm not going to pick the havoc um The oh hey Chris Said the phantom that might be it That might be it the phantom x19 stealth fighter Of course stealth fighters did actually exist in the real world But they didn't look like that. Uh, that came from a concept drawing Um that ended up not looking anything like the real stealth fighter. Um, but Uh, so that for that reason it is technically science fiction But um But it's a really cool looking jet Um, I think tentatively I'm going to go with that tentatively. I'm going to go with the phantom x19 unless I think of something else There you go That simple question only took five or six minutes to answer because I I can't think of things off the top of my head Um So, uh, yeah Um All right guys, uh I've got like tons of clutter around me and um anytime I have joes in the vicinity I want to like pick them up and like Pick them up and show them to you because I like handling them and I like playing with them and I like uh I like showing them off But uh Most of the stuff I have around me right now is not stuff that I can show you Because it would spoil the Next few videos. Uh, one thing I did get out though Speaking of his tanks, I did get out my sms I didn't get it out. I didn't put it away. It's on a shelf This is a nice display piece. I keep it out, but I got it off my shelf Um, and uh, so, um, you know, there's that Um, since we were talking about the his tank his tank looks not too bad in red too um You know, I've I've done a poll uh at least twice asking everyone if they would Like me to provide previews of what the review is going to be each week Or if you just want to be surprised and see what pops up and Both times I've done that poll Everybody wanted to be surprised. Nobody wants to tell them wants me to tell them What's coming up? Yeah, I so for that reason all this really cool stuff that's around me right now I can't show it to you Because apparently you guys want to be surprised Um, so yeah, surprise surprise surprise surprise surprise surprise That's uh, that's what everybody chose. So fine. Fine. I'll see. I've got cool stuff I mean, this is the straight arm cobra soldier that came with my um Missile command center. Um, and that's pretty good. Uh Pretty good straight arm figure. It's in really surprisingly good condition um And even though I don't like intentionally army build. It's still nice to have uh an extra army builder Uh colt asks what my first joe was my first joe Was breaker in 1982 the straight arm breaker was my first one. Um I can't recall exactly why I chose breaker as my first one, but that was I remember very clearly That's the first one I got One theory I have is that um The first gi joe commercial that I saw on tv was uh the one where Uh breaker, you know, uh kind of Rappels down and rides on the ram motorcycle So that kind of blew my mind And so breaker I think at the time kind of seemed to me like he was the main gi joe Like like maybe he was the leader of gi joe So I had to get that one first because he was the one I first saw on the commercial So that may have been why I did it but at any rate I do know that my first was breaker Back in 1982 Back when the line was was relaunched Oh, hey david, uh his uh breaker was his first joe as well. Cool. Cool Maybe breaker isn't the most exciting Uh figure to be the first one. I mean he doesn't come with any guns or anything like that He doesn't come with a vehicle But uh, I mean it at the time he just seemed uh cool. They all seemed really cool. Um And so uh, yeah, I was really happy with it I was happy with that figure and of course I got more as quickly as I could Um Robert says zartan is the best figure zartan is a really good figure I can't argue with him being a really good figure. Um Yeah, I gotta you know, I I really like zartan even though zartan is an unabashed Science fiction element in gi joe Zartan is pretty much all science fiction. Um I still I mean the writing for that character in the comic book was so strong and the design of the character is really good That I still even though maybe I shouldn't like zartan. I still end up really liking zartan Javier Gonzalez killer whale his first vehicle 3499 back in 1986. Well, you can't even get one of those Steering veins for 3495 anymore um Colt says the only 82 figures he had was short fuse and stalker cousin gave him stalker and Cousin gave his short fuse and found stalker at a yard sale Well, you know stalker I always thought stalker was a really special figure back then because of the camouflage He was just a really cool looking figure But um I mean gi joe was great that first year compared to everything else that was out on the market But in 1983 when they gave us the swivel arm battle grip and then we get they gave us like a marine And uh, you know, they gave us Airborne and these characters that had more detail on them I was all about that it was that you know if I wasn't already a fan of gi joe I would have been you know a really solid fan at that point Because I loved the posibility of those figures. I loved the detail of the figures. I loved the accessories and you know, I I collected star wars figures First, you know before gi joe came out and and I still like the old kenner star wars There's still some merit to the kenner star wars But as a kid at the time, you know, I got a gi joe figure and he had more accessories better accessories He could move around more and you know A military theme is something that just really struck me as really cool at the time. So yeah, uh gi joe uh Drew me away from transformers Wish zap hadn't been so brittle. Uh, yeah Yeah, a lot of collectors wish zap wouldn't be so brittle Um, I you know, there are some collectors who have managed to get their hands on A an intact zap figure and it you know, it still breaks Because even if you get one in syntax, you still have to handle it with care um That one's that one's a little bit The fragility of that thing is a little ridiculous Colt asks if I liked the cartoon. I really liked the initial miniseries the the five port miniseries the The one with the mass device. I was really enamored with that. It was really thrilling to see My favorite characters on the screen, you know with voices and and all of that As the series went on, um, I tended to not like it quite as much I was reading the comic book by then so You know, I was always hoping it would be A little more like the comic book, which is Kind of unfair to the series I should have given it, uh More of a chance and you know, I should have let the series be what it is rather than just Uh Want everything to be what I expected I was very critical as a child, you know, I I just I really wanted wanted things my way when I was a kid. Um, I was very immature But um, but yeah, I've only the the anime the series has grown on me more as an adult than as a as a kid But I did watch it. Um, I didn't see every episode, but you know, I'd watch it from time to time But I, uh, would You know always get the comic books the comic books. I was an avid reader Bear my best friend, uh backyard had, um, a joe cemetery. All right, Byron's Best friend's backyard hasn't had a joe cemetery. That's that's That's cute. All right. That's kind of funny. I That's I may have done something like that myself. I think I may have buried a few joes But I would always dig them up at the end of the day because you know, those are my toys and I still wanted to play with them So they'd be resurrected, you know, and we'd have a whole new storyline Uh, Alex said he always wanted figures for the cartoons green shirts. I think there was Uh, an o-ring set that had some green shirt figures. I think it was not in the vintage era It was later, but I think there was a set of those green shirt figures released Um, I have no idea if it's hard to find or not, but uh, if that's something that you'd still be interested in I think that is out there It had a funeral for them. That's it. That's that's cool. That's cool Um Now speaking of the green shirts figures When steel brigade came out and steel brigade was You know a fan insertion kind of character Um, but when I saw that the figures were all generic were all the same my thought was They uh They were kind of like the green shirts They were they were joes, but they were they all had wore the same uniform So my thought was like steel brigade is like the green shirts, right? Um, but they're not green shirts. They have like a cooler uniform with a neat helmet and stuff like that Um But but they're not you know, they're not named characters But I always imagine that you know if a steel brigade Uh Worked really hard and studied really hard and ate his vegetables every day Uh that he might get selected and become A joe and so I like to imagine Um Some joes as they you know joined the team started out as steel brigade and then Were eventually selected to be part of the regular gi joe team. That's just kind of my head canon But that's just what I imagined Um for the steel brigade Yeah, um Lazarus says steel brigade was like the viper version of the green shirt. That's kind of um, yeah Something like that something like that That's how I would imagine it Um Did I see the original zirana art? It just came just came across it the other day on 3d joes Um, if I remember right the original art for zirana was a little race here than the artwork that they finally went with If that's the one i'm thinking of I may not be thinking of the same one that you saw but I I seem to remember Uh some artwork for zirana that was that has some differences from From the production artwork and there's stuff like like the Like maybe they didn't have the the upper arm shields um Something like that. There was something about it that was there was more skin showing is my recollection Um, but modesty prevailed and so they they covered that up You can't have any bare shoulders. There are children watching And uh, yeah, I'm still trying to keep up with you guys in the in the live, uh, chat um Anyway Oh matt says, uh, brian, do you remember the joe toys that, uh Featured in the boy, uh, who could fly 80s film with fred savage. Yes, I do Yes, I do remember that and that's like the only reason that I watched that movie so many times Is just because there were joes in it um Yes, yes, I do remember that I don't know that any other part of the movie appealed to me, but the kid had joes so I could relate to them Relate to him. So, uh, yeah. Yes. I remember that speaking of, uh, joe movie reference Movie references, um, I just been trying to, um, uh Catch up on the new mst3k series that's on netflix And uh, one of the movies they watch is mac and me I don't know if you've ever seen the movie mac and me. It stinks. It's a terrible movie. It's one of the worst movies It's it's dumb Uh, it's it got some shameless product placement. It's a shameless ripoff of et in many ways Uh, but I love mac and me. It's hilarious, but in that movie. I think there were at least two joe references So watch mac and me and see if you can spot the gi joe Excuse me. I sneeze Um, oh, hey, we're closing in on an hour Uh, guys, I do try to keep these live streams to about an hour Um Because I'm tired and it's been a long day, uh, but it's it's a lot of fun, uh Talking to you guys every Tuesday evening.
