It is life You know Absolutely never a reason to apologize for that I hope you enjoy this GI Joe custom as much as I enjoyed creating it to be honest I think I want to do another Arctic Fox for my own collection. Cool I'd like to see it especially if you decide to like do any updates and tweaks to the design I'd love to see what you come up with I also want to do another Joe custom since Some time in the future if you have any ideas, let me know. I will be thinking about that Anyway, thank you for all the great GI Joe content. I always look forward to your new videos I started collecting GI Joe again in 2010 and At first I had no idea how vast the Joe community was slash is I found your channel about three years ago and have been a loyal viewer ever since thank you Hopefully we can meet at Joe Fest later this year.

Yo, Joe Brandon Payne Aka painted plastic ps sorry for the sloppy handwritten letter. It's not sloppy I read it without any problem as long as I got my glasses but I Find typed letters impersonal only GI Joe is GI Joe the perfectly well-written letter. Thank you very much And now I'm ready to look at the box Okay, now what's in the box? What's in the box first? blue bubble wrap very nice a Nice and colorful a nice Cobra blue bubble wrap and the next is a figure and This is awesome. I got a zoom in you got to see this this is a custom Well, you know it was skidmark But this figure now has a new file card and he is now hard pack check out that that is a pretty nice Custom file card and check out those custom colors on the former skidmark figure that is Really nice and we got some Some parts in addition to the skidmark head, but I'm gonna take this out and I'll try to get some more close-ups of it So you can really see and appreciate this So there is the figure Looks great really nice Arctic figure and it has more this figure is really cool It has more than just like the usual white that you expect on an arcade Arctic figure It has some other colors that go really well with it. I like the tan trousers looks like from law But yeah, that's amazing that's amazing and it comes with Comes with a weapon and a figure stand, you know, it's a always nice when a figure comes with figure stand and This file card, which I'm going to carefully pull out now. It is printed on card stock very nice And it's it's cool. It has a neat feel to it codename hard pack Arctic Fox driver File name Henry C Clayton primary military specialty Arctic vehicle driver secondary military specialty infantry Where's places aspen, Colorado appropriate? Yeah, I think I don't usually put still photos in these Donation unboxing videos because I don't do a lot of editing on them But in this case, I will probably drop in some still photos some close-up photos of this file card and this really Really awesome figure It's it looks even better in person than I expected The all the details painted in that that great helmet on the skidmark head is It's a really nice color It's it's great. So this is awesome, but now wait until you see what else is in the box This is just the the first item Okay, and I apologize if I'm a little sniffy my allergies are just exploding. It's really bad We'll survive we'll get we'll make it through this And there is there's the vehicle you see if I can carefully pull this out. I don't want anything to Get damaged in any way Yeah, oh Make sure I'm not dropping anything in there. Okay. All right. I have not dropped anything in the bottom of the box And there is a really nicely wrapped and there she is now I wish I hadn't worn a gray shirt because the gray vehicle is going to blend in but let's get a close-up on that You got to see this you got to see this it's turned the Desert Fox into an Arctic vehicle Some skis on the front Still got the Desert Fox's Four wheels in the back And this is the first time I've had a chance to really see this close up That gray camouflage looks like gray and black two-tone camouflage on top of the base. It's kind of an off-white is just Gorgeous and some sticker applications and Since this is a custom, you know, you got some just some more detail than Hasbro would have put on it And that is just It's just gorgeous Incredible detail on on these front skis. They are articulated a Little bit. I mean, I don't want to break them, but they are on like the The axles of the Desert Fox and that's a pretty mean-looking Desert vehicle not desert but Arctic vehicle on just I just can't stop looking at it. It's We've got I mean all the color colors are updated new New gun turret new new colors for the missiles We've got that that classic antenna. That's always so much trouble on the on the Desert Fox. Just I can't see enough about it painted plastic did a video series of him making this You should go check out that video series. I will put on the screen The channel name so you know how it's spelled and it's spelled in a very specific way So I want you to be able to find it. But yeah, you got to check this out And it's even better in hand than I expected and I was expecting it to be awesome and it's even better So thank you for this painted plastic. I am duly impressed And now this is like one of my prized possessions Somebody actually made this for me and it's too cool. Okay. I put the Arctic Fox's Driver in the driver seat. I'm keeping the file card with it I'm just going to gently set that aside for right now I haven't picked exactly what order I want to open these boxes. So I'm just going to grab This little one, which is one of the ones I got more recently This is from Dave Domenico Dave M. Domenico. Thank you Dave for this very much appreciated And it's a small box, but it is large enough for a figure I think so maybe that's what it is. Let's see what we got And we have it is a figure and in fact, it's a figure that I recognize. It's a figure that I like very much this is Scrap iron I meant to zoom in and accidentally stopped the recording. So now let's zoom in on scrap iron I'll go ahead and take them out of this bag. So you can see looks like scrap iron from 1984 In really nice shape probably better condition than the one I have but There's scrap iron always like scrap iron. I think it's kind of an underrated figure His accessories are also here. It looks like you've got the missile box and the Like the mount for the legs for it No letter or note from David. You don't have to include a letter I'm just thrilled that you thought to send something to me And this is a really nice Really nice scrap iron figure. I think this is better than the one that I've already had and that I've been using So this may be my numero uno Scrap iron figure. So thank you very much Dave. All right, this box is from Rezakai also known as four seconds of silence and I Believe I already know what this is because it's believe this is what he told me he was going to send And so I'm really excited to see what it is. Let's see here There is some paper in here. I'm going to carefully remove that and the paper is in plastic and I'm removing the plastic and Okay Alright, hey cool graphics awesome. We have this says HCC. Here's a set of GI Joe tapes Yes, that's what I thought it was tapes.

He wanted wild weasel and he inked it. He inked it from my sketch So I'll show you this inked artwork From the sketch that I did. So hey, that's cool I don't normally have people inking my sketches But hey, actually turned out better Looks even better than what I sent. So thank you Rezakai Oh, it's nice. It's nice So cool. Thank you for seconds of silence Now I'm gonna dig into the box so I can check out those tapes. That should be fun these tapes these story tapes these GI Joe story tapes We got one with listening fun tripwire. We got one with Special Mission Brazil, but there were others that didn't come with with toys But there were others and I they're really hokey, but I kind of love them anyway They can be sometimes hilarious And so much fun. So I need a knife. I'm going to cut the tape. They're really cheesy But I like cheesy things. So I'm looking forward to listening to these very well Very well wrapped.
