Hello RTD one live on tape from Hollywood. Hello live on tape from Hollywood from the United States The next review video. There's a slight snag. Okay, not the the it's written. I got the whole thing written I've got the the notes all done And it's not gonna be difficult to shoot it. I'll get that all done, too. That's that's not a problem I even got the thumbnail done early The hang-up is that we had some really crappy weather Hello, Dave David Sharp. Nice to see you. Thank you for being here We had some bad weather and part of the video that I need to do I need to do outdoors Well, right now outdoors is covered in ice So it's not it's not the right time. It's not a good time To do outdoor things. It's really freaking cold. I'm sure if you're In Wisconsin, it's like who this is summer, but here it's cold Hello consider a juvenile nice to see you. I eat commander Yes, so but it should still be done. We're supposed to have warmer weather It should all thaw out in theory in time For me to get the next review done by Sunday so in theory at least I Auto still be able to do it on time. I'm gonna try it'll it'll everything will be ready Except for the outdoor stuff Because I wait I got to wait for it to thaw But we'll see hello Jeffrey Jeffrey a stalemate ball Good evening to you as well. Hello Lester We have we got a good good crowd tonight. Good good crowd tonight. This is great This is great. I'll be passing the offering plate around just to you know put your Put your cash in there That's where we're doing a televangelist style this time. Hello nacho At least ice can help with a snow vehicle. Yes, and here's the thing if it was a snow vehicle It would actually help you remember last year when I reviewed snow job It snowed it was great On this particular occasion It kind of works against me if I if I had known though if I had known that it was going to do this I would have done a snow vehicle, but this was one that I had planned like Several weeks before and I'm finally getting to it and now that I'm getting to it It has I wouldn't even call it snow. It's like ice pellets. It's just ice pellets out there. It's really miserable It's just really miserable out there right now Nyquist says people hating on the new sky striker not yet Well, I don't know maybe people are but I'm not hating on it yet because I haven't open it because besides the epic Unboxing of this python patrol Cobra bat. I also have this This thing that I got from from From what's that? Ha slap. I'm not sure how that's pronounced ha slap And look at this. This is supposedly a 3.75 inch sky striker This is an awfully big box for a sky striker that should be about that size Frankly, I think this is a little bit more packing material than they need For a sky striker this big and and and if I may be so bold They charged rather a lot for such a tiny sky striker. Is that a sky striker for ants? That's that's crazy. That's ridiculous Thrill like less than four inches of sky striker apparently we're getting in the box So but I'm gonna open that later I'm not in fact All right, I'm going like I'm going off script here I'm going off script. I'm thinking maybe I'll open the sky striker Instead instead of the Cobra bat. I mean, I know everybody's here for this But I could save this I could save this for next week and I could I could open the open the sky striker Gray Fox 7.0 points 3.75 sky strikers meant to go with the world's smallest GI Joe's Yeah, those little The ones that we've been we've been trying to get in those blind boxes So, okay for serious for a second The I know everybody I know what they mean right because it's a sky striker in the scale of the 7.5 inch action figures. Yes, but Hasbro seems to have a they seem to struggle with Scale and measurement. I mean, maybe they're on metric and they just like not thinking in inches But remember when they announced the retro line the Walmart exclusive retro line and they were saying It's this 3.75 inch figures coming in the retro line and they came out with it. It was like It's it's the modern construction figures, which are closer to four inches and not three 4.75 inches. So if they like they're four inch figures not three and three and three-quarter so What what so has bro if you're if you're watching you may be on metric, you know, most of the world is I get that But you know here in in the United States. We still use imperial measurements So, you know, just make sure your your conversion is You know a little more precise. It's a little more precise Hello, Trevor. Nice to see you. Thank you for being here. So Oh a couple more things see I only got through like two of the upcoming news items things, okay So I got to remember do this first of all Today is Tuesday that means that's a new episode of half the battle from Timmer this time Timmer did a review of the toxo viper As you may or may not recall the toxo viper is the last surviving Action figure from my childhood collection Remember the toolbox that had all the figure parts in it The only one that I could fully reassemble Was the toxo viper making the toxo viper the last of my Surviving childhood action figures, but yeah, so new video by terror check out the toxo viper review What's on Joe mind always check on what's on Joe mind. They're usually live on Fridays So I try to try to catch that live as when I can sometimes I can't catch it live So I'll catch it after the fact, but make sure you follow What's on Joe mind here on YouTube w o j m and Peg warmers our friend Kevin from peg warmers. He's working on an episode With me in it that I will be in and we are going to be talking about The GI Joe find your fate books because you know, we do that, you know, we've had a lot of fun Doing the GI Joe find your fate books on this show with audience participation Well at peg warmers, we recorded it yesterday. I he's gonna edit it I don't know how long that'll take but at some point you should see a peg warmers episode with me That'll be my first time on peg warmers And we'll be talking about the GI Joe find your fate books So as soon as I find out when that'll be I will I'll let everybody know I'll let everybody know so now I Think it is time to Open this thing now I I I worked this out earlier because I've got to have a different camera angle. I got to move the camera back So that I can get the box on your screen here A couple of consequences of that though One is that I have to move The the laptop my computer back far enough that I can't really read the live chat, so I apologize for that Yeah, well rich found all of them by chance what's on Joe line peg warmers. Yes, it's it's There is like a really cool community of folks that work together. It's We have it's a really great time. I ran really cool guys, too You know, they're actually really cool people Most of whom I've actually met in person, so that's I'm glad that you found them And there's Diane speaking of a really nice person really great person Diana Davis is here. Nice to see you Diana Davis. Hope everything is going well with you Yes, they they got like this is a this is a very large box for a sky striker this big I just think that's excessive So most of what we paid went into packing material bubble wrap, you know, it's we we got a $5 sky striker and $230 worth of bubble wrap so I'm gonna open this I am gonna move the camera. I probably will not Be able to read the the live chat because it'll be farther away But I'll try to check in I might be able to see super chats, but if I miss any I apologize But I'll try to keep up the best I can I also was thinking okay. I Do I do want to do an actual review of this thing and get it in front of the HD camera and get some nice Pictures of it and also do a compare and contrast with the vintage sky striker So I had to think like how much do I really want? To to do on the live show and what do I want to save? For a full review, but what I've decided was and I asked Mary and this I got a little help Hello JLS comics nice to see you always nice to see JLS comics here What I've decided is I'm gonna open the box. I'm gonna take the things out of the box I'm not going to Take the figures off the cards. I'm gonna keep the figures on the cards for now but I am going to Open and assemble the the sky striker. I'm gonna I don't know if I'll put the stickers on Because that that may take a while You know how I have get into a very zen state when I put the stickers on But I'll probably at least assemble it. I've got to do that much anyway in order to do a review of it So we'll we'll at least get it out of the box and at least put it together So we'll do that. We'll do that. Yes, Diana Davis has an adorable cat It's a one-eyed cat, you know, it's got one eye. It was a rescue Now I assume that the eye was was taken by Nick fury Nick fury got his revenge on the on the flurgen He he got his revenge for for his lost eye By by taking the kiddies lost eye a little excessive I got to say Samuel L. Jackson a little excessive Nick fury It's just a cat settle down. But yes, it's an adorable cat adorable cat And I think a happy cat now a happy cat so I'm gonna do this. I have no idea how long it's gonna take So I'm gonna go ahead and start it now. I have some tools because I don't know exactly What I will need to assemble it And I'm going to adjust the camera angle so that I can So that I can There we go get this get it on Screen, let's see. That's not terrible, but I'm gonna have to stand up here All right, and I don't want to push it too far back because I will push it off the back of the table. Okay, oh Oh It looks like Joe fans has cat passed away in November rest in peace rest in peace. Yes. I'm sure he is much happier much happier Okay, so here we go And we'll Talk as we assemble it. I have to stand up so I can get There's a there's a light right here that I'm gonna try to not hit my head on So there was a lot of talk about this has lab sky striker Can you still hear me? It looks like yeah, the volume is still coming in pretty good There was a Lot of talk about this had a lot has lab sky striker and I've been critical of the has lab concept A Big toy companies should not need to crowdfund, you know, they're they're products But you know that they have given us they have given us a few things that We were unlikely to get at retail So it's not exactly like crowdfunding It's more like a conditional pre-order It's a your pre-order it under the condition that it gets a certain number of orders in order to for them to actually make it still very similar to crowdfunding and This is one that did fund it funded on the last day and even Unlocked a lot of the stretch goals. Hello Bart. Nice to see you. How do you do? Sorry about your Steelers rough here but Yeah, the It funded on the last day Open up some but not all of the stretch goals But it was encouraging, you know, that was a win for the brand that was a win for Gijo and Gijo really needed a win I was on the fence about whether I really wanted a sky striker. Hey Christian comic tropes, how do you welcome welcome? I just I thanked you earlier for inspiring the stalker version 2 review But I decided I did want a sky striker Not everybody did want one because they've done the sky striker a few times In, you know recent years, but this one's supposed to be different Hello Eric. Yo Eric Um, this is supposed to be more updated Let's give it a try. Let's give it a try. Let's open it and what I see inside this box is Another box It's just gonna be boxes all the way down, right? I'm just gonna keep opening boxes until we get to the the three and 0.75 inch sky striker Okay, I gotta see if I can take this box out of that box. No, I'm not I'm never mind I'm just gonna open this box So yeah, a lot of people did were not very turned on by getting another sky striker But I went ahead and did it Both because you know, I actually didn't I didn't get in on a lot of the modern sky strikers So that was one reason another reason I Wanted to review the thing and compare it to the vintage sky striker another thing It was the return of O-ring GI Joe the classic O-ring construction figures So instead of the retro modern figures, they actually did Real retro style O-ring figures for this thing. Oh Look at this This is this is beautiful you're gonna like this check this out It's more cardboard it's another box. No, it's I think this is just a cover. I think this is yeah, yeah so Alright, this is a Cardboard cover here and you pull that off and get this Georgius Box of sky striker me show this off here. Oh Yeah, and the paperwork just fell out. I'll get that But and I will I will put this next to the vintage striker box, which I do have yeah, this the sticker sheets here and the legal disclaimers but this is this is the Star of the show Let me pull this out Let's let's take a brief look at the box There's There's the box very much like the vintage box, but with some updates some important updates You can see that It's got photos of the figures Which includes ace and Fail safe is the name of the new guy so as you may recall from From the vintage sky striker. There was this name Lieutenant Wayne Ruthel here printed both on the toy and on the box and There was this co-pilot here the co-pilot obviously looks like airborne to me But this Wayne Ruthel doesn't match any character name in GI Joe The reason is Because the designer of the sky striker for Hasbro Wayne Luther Put an anagram for his own name on The sky striker so so that's that's where that comes from That is not the name of any GI Joe character But what they did is they they created a co-pilot they created a brand new character a brand new co-pilot for the sky striker, so let's Let's put this somewhere. We're gonna put this Let's fit up here. Yeah, let's move this Let's move this Set this here for now While I go through the rest of the box. There we go. All right, okay, we're going through the rest of the box We have the sticker sheets and it comes with several sticker sheets It comes with a Cobra sticker sheet if you want to make a cobra sky striker It's got this thing and Here's like the more traditional sky striker stickers, but you can also you can also make a snake eyes one It's got the snake eyes thing there and we have instruction sheets and blueprints instruction sheets and blueprints and Yes, the instruction sheet includes the Like the little little fuel car kind of like the one that came with the the USS flag So let's set these aside I'm gonna Just put the the traditional sky striker stickers on it I am not gonna go fancy with the stickers. Okay, so just so you can kind of see there is the rest of the box I Will take out I'll get to the figures after I get through the rest of the stuff because there's a lot of stuff here So here is a Weapons transport vehicle all in gray and there's a Yeah, there's a there's the little Toe hitch there the toe hook and this on the on the vintage sky striker this connected into the little screw hole on The underside of the fuselage. I assume this does as well And Okay Nice and organized here Yeah, and here is here's the fuel tanker also in gray plastic and very much like the vintage USS flag fuel tanker This yeah, it connects like that And I This is it's very big. I'm running out of room here. Let me put it over this over here But wait, there's more I will say, you know I've got some sympathy for Those who weren't that eager to get a sky striker. I get it. I get it and it was fairly pricey, but There's a lot in this box. They did give you quite a bit for what you paid for it. So that's that's all right. That's all right so this is Hardboard another part of a sticker sheet there Others We've got some Paper wrap stuff before I get to that here is the stand And this is actually something that I was interested in because this is like it's a display stand That will let you like Display the sky striker in lots of different angles You can put the extra missiles and bits on there So this is actually something that I was interested in because I would like a different way to Display the sky striker. I don't have my USS flag out right now But I did have it out and it's fine It's okay to displaying the sky striker on that but I'm interested in some Alternatives some other ways to display it so this I was kind of interested in so there's that set this over here Trying to not knock anything over Paper wrap stuff and yes, I am gonna open it This I assume is like the the missiles and bombs and stuff and all the blast effects and all the extra stuff That it came with but let's see Let's let's open It looks like it is Okay, so you do have to cut the tape. Oh, yeah, no, we've got some we've got some parts here We've got some vehicle parts here So that's interesting. Okay, check this out We've got wings So we've got vehicle parts in here means that not all of the vehicle is in there That's interesting. I want to open that thing up and see what's actually in there Oh Wow, this is interesting. So what are these are alternate wings? Okay, look at this Here you have the like light gray Tail fins We'll see that's the vertical tail fins and that's the Horizontal wait these are the horizontal tail fins. Yeah, so yeah now I believe We were supposed to get black black tail fins because As you may recall the original artwork for the original sky striker had black tail But they were white when in on the actual production vehicle everybody wanted The black Okay, I see what this is. So this is I'm actually gonna have to cut that Sorry, I'm trying not to crinkle the paper. Yeah, and I'm sorry I still oh hello draws nice to see you anybody else who came in Sorry, I didn't say hello. Hello So you've got the The the pilot seats with the parachutes To parachute seats. It looks like the parachutes parachutes are packed in Ah there that's what we were looking for Black tail fins. So the other ones are alternate This is So I was expecting the the paper wrap pieces to be the extra bits But we have actual vehicle parts in here so if If all the vehicle parts are not in there, then what exactly is in there? Let's find out I've got a couple more of these to open and then we'll look at the figures and then then we'll open that Yeah, I gotta So Yeah, okay, we got missiles We've got the small sidewinder missiles The medium-sized Very similar to the vintage sky striker when I do the actual review, I will check to see if If the missiles are interchangeable, I have no idea But those are the large phoenix missiles This is gotta be the fuel tank right the fuel drop tank Yeah And the fuel tank, okay, so we have Like oh wait, I missed something. We have actual Vehicle parts Outside of the vehicle box. That's interesting. Oh Extra fuel tanks. Hey, this is new. This is different So you have some peg on fuel tanks. The original did not have that That's cool. That's cool. Okay So let me put these aside. I've got to be careful. Okay. No, I don't think This is the last of the parts that are wrapped in paper, sorry about all the crinkling This is okay So this sky striker comes with a few extra bits Here is like that's the engine cover for the the tow vehicle. We've got a ladder You know for the pilot this looks like yeah, this is like Yeah, this is like an extra piece so you can fit on extra missiles and stuff. So Those are parts that the original sky striker did did not include and this this is kind of the The value added stuff that they won't try to add something that would make that would justify the the the additional price we've got the like the Targeting system like the infrared scope here That should fit on the nose. Yeah, we've got like extra extra pieces here for pegging on the missiles There's a lot I got it. I don't want to miss anything and I know I can feel there's more stuff in here So yeah, they try to they try to give you some value added stuff, right? They try to add extra pieces and that was that's nice and all that's good and all I Probably didn't need all of these extra pieces I was more interested in the figures The some actual o-ring thing now, we've had o-ring figures since then we've had plenty of them But but getting new o-ring figures was kind of a big deal at the time. Okay, so here are some of the blast effects That's what this is and this is you know, but like gun blast effects And then like the the missile launch Flame thing so you can like make it look like the missiles are really long I get I think the rest of this the rest of this may be blast effects because I know that it's supposed to come with a lot I have blast effects. That's another thing that That a lot of people really like I'm indifferent to blast effects. I mean, they're fine, but I don't They're not that important to me But if you're into blast effects They gave you plenty of Plenty plenty. Yeah. Oh, yeah And I including these that are shaped like a carrot these carrot shaped ones And these these that are that are shaped like mushrooms, so yeah, so we've got A lot of That it Yes, lots of blast effect options Now what I'm gonna do rather than try to set all this stuff on the table and let it fall on the floor This has a tray That I can lift out I'm gonna just Thank you. Thank you for the super chat comic tropes Ultimate add-on would have been a spring file. Yes, a spring fired missile launcher. See that's how you get the 90s fans into it So I'm gonna just keep the stuff in the tray and this other stuff that I put over here I'm gonna also put it in the tray so that it doesn't get lost. So there was me just for a second Attempting Attempting to keep all this organized not lose everything And I will say as far as plastic quality for the most part it seems to be comparable with vintage So like like the stand and the missiles and The wings and stuff this all feels like vintage plastic quality. It's got like the glossy finish And it's it's sturdy. It's sturdy enough however the the Refueling carts and stuff that feels a bit different that this feels I don't like softer It feels softer So just another thing to keep in mind. Okay, so that's the that one trade I have another tray this one containing the action figures. So I'm taking this try out Which means I can move the big box Out the way, okay Okay, you ready? Let's check them out All right taking out this divider actually before I take out the divider. Let me see if I can Show you how they're packed So here are how the figures are packed and The boxes have the like the USS flag or That's more like just a runway not the USS flag design this does. Yeah, so You can use yeah, you can use the the underside of the box kind of as a diorama or you know runway or something like that so Let's take this out. Let's take Okay, so the way they've packed these is They've got these Cardboard triangles which is serving as a divider for the cards. This should keep the cards nice and straight so that helps keep them together and then they also have some tissue paper between them to keep them from Rubbing together and like maybe rubbing the printing off or anything. So What do we have here? We have We have Cobra commander and this one is the The the Mickey Mouse logo Cobra. You can't see that really well This is why I need to get it in front of a an HD camera. Oh, thank you the killer weezer Has slab Rappler or Knight Raven? I'd like to see the Knight Raven that'd be wicked cool So we get a Cobra commander with the Mickey Mouse logo We get a Cobra trooper And we've gotten a Cobra like a modern o-ring Cobra trooper before this one. It looks a little bit different Got a little bit more paint on it than the vintage figure did he's got his hands painted He's got some extra paint on the straps and stuff But it's I love the blue shirts. I can never have too many blue shirts Yes, it's cool. Yes, Cometrope says it's cool that they're on card back. They are on card back Here's the other one that's in with those three. This is the Cobra ground true ground crew codename ramp-ratch Apparently the ground crew Needs a mortar That's a mortar launcher. So you never know what might happen when you're on the ground crew so that those of those three So pluses and minuses for these figures being carded, okay pluses you get The fantastic vintage style artwork you get real regular file cards nice Downside there's no way to take these things off the cards, but to cut up you have to cut them off the cards They cannot be Put back on the card once you take them off So, you know for those of you one one nice thing that I will say about about your classified figures is You can put it back in the box, you know You can take them out, but then you can also put them back and display them You know in the box not so with a card to figure not this is supposed to be like vintage So I get why they did it. This is very much like vintage and the card stock is pretty solid remember when we had those Walmart exclusive figures The cards would get bent the cards were very flimsy this Pretty pretty sturdy pretty sturdy card stock So let's look at the next set of figures with another one of these things and here we get a Night Force version of ripcord So it looks like it's got I'm trying to not get any glare But it looks like it's got the mold of the original 1984 ripcord, but in night Force colors You know I'm a fan of night Force So it looking really sleek in black beautiful very nice Then we have The man of the hour the pilot of the sky striker ace Looking again a lot like the vintage and they didn't change the colors on this. This is that's straight up the vintage figure colors then we have Scarlet in the flight suit. So this is a new version of scarlet in The the flight suit for the sky striker. She still has her crossbow though Because you never know what will happen, you know, you never know when you're flying a jet when you might need a crossbow So she's got her crossbow. She's ready. She's ready and then the actual new character This is the Rio the radar intercept officer. This is the goose To ace this is fail safe With his file name Wayne Ruthle as we saw on the box art and the original sky striker. So this is a brand-new character That is meant to depict a mystery character that was on the original artwork. So that's a cool update That's a cool update. So those are the figures. I'm not gonna take the figures off the card yet I'm gonna wait on that until I do the full review of this I do want to show you the figures, but I don't want to take them off the card just yet because because I Now want to open this thing and see if we can put it together because we've got all this stuff out But we haven't actually looked at the sky striker itself. So Here's here's how we do I'm gonna put these figures back Figures are going back in Set this aside I I'm now surrounded by packing material it It was no joke that they gave us a lot of packing material that they did gonna put This is the box. Oh parts and the sticker sheet and I will need this I will need the instructions Well, look at that like one of the one of the sticker options is the killer whale. That's interesting So let's let's put this stuff aside Setting this side Do not want anything lost or damaged and now Now let's check this out. Well a couple things that I find very interesting Before we even open this thing before we even open this thing a couple things We know we know that some of the parts for the vehicle are not in here We already opened them. Another thing we know is the two figures pictured on the on the box Are also not in the box. We already saw those two so This is taped. It's not that stringy tape like the vintage boxes, but Let's open. Let's cut the tape If you're a mint and sealed box collector, just look away now I'm gonna be cutting that all the seals off You know air will get in and they it'll immediately start decomposing. I know I don't want to hurt you I really don't but this this is what we got to do Let's let's cut the tape so There we go And well before you open it, let's take one more look at the box. This is this is really much like the vintage box I mean look at that That almost looks like the same Photos, but I'm sure that's updated Just like on the vintage box the vintage box did not have a photo of the vehicle on the back it had a Two-color printing Printed in black and red on a white background rather than the photo Which we usually got with GI Joe vehicles, but on a box this size They just they didn't do full-color printing all the way around now. They could have this is actually This is full-color printing. Look got like multiple colors on there you got like Yellow on there so they could have done full-color printing on this or just put a photo on it But they're keeping with the vintage style with the box With some updates obviously so that's the box that is that's what the box looks like let's Let's see what's in the box Nothing There we go Looks like there is a cardboard tray in here very much like a 90s vehicle You remember those 90s vehicles that we opened they had like the cardboard tray inside the box. It looks like that's what we got here One second here. It's in Okay, it's coming There we go. There we go. Come on. Oh It's it's it's in there tight. It's in there tight. That's what she said Okay, all right, so there there's the there's the empty box There's the empty now. This is very interesting to me. This is a nice box I got to say this is a nice box very very reminiscent of the the vintage box Pretty sturdy cardboard very crisp printing on it. I like it. It's good. I'm gonna put this up here for a second And here's what you actually get in the box you get Looks like you just get the shell But I do notice there is a canopy already on it and it but it came with another So it's we got an alternate canopy here. So this is what's actually in the box You may notice that there's a lot of air Surrounding it because it is an aircraft. They wanted to include the air You know They didn't want to just give you the craft. They wanted to give you the air too. So yeah We've got a lot of air around it and it looks like it's like bungee in so we're gonna we're gonna take this out How are we doing? We got like I may not finish this live stream at eight and again. I'm sorry I cannot I'm not keeping up with Oh, how much does it weigh it weighs? Um Approximately 4.3 grams. I don't I don't know metric. I don't know I'm American give me some slack But it's it feels at least so far very very much like the vintage sky striker But there are some differences that I'm sure you've already seen but let's let's take this thing out Let's take this thing out and Let's take this thing out and well, we will put it together. We will add at the very least we will put The wings and the the fins on put the stuff inside get it get it assembled And what that's that that's where we'll stop because after that I'd like to actually do that do a real Review of it with a with a you know the high-quality camera, but for now, let's just see what we've got so we've got these these cords that are Have it tied to the box Which I am carefully cutting to avoid cutting the plastic that would be a bummer that would be an expensive mistake There we go All right sharp objects put away And oh, there's one more. I missed it missed one these are pretty There we go, it's it's it's tied in really it's not gonna go anywhere It's packed really well. So good job Hasbro for packing Emily and Lenny If you guys actually packed these personally well done guys well well done good job I just imagine them like in in Hasbro's basement like putting the all these things in their boxes We need another thousand quick So there's here we are this is the shell Here's the empty tray. There is absolutely nothing left in there Here's the shell I am going to get the Tray full of parts from down there I'm going to move the camera back closer so that I can sit down and we can put this thing together All right, let me get the parts Not doing the stickers just yet not just yet Just getting the parts The tray O parts Okay, so let me slide this this means I ought to be able to see the live chat again Thank you all for your patience Okay, ah So what's happening in the live chat? Oh my goodness that that is that is obscene that is filthy I turn my back for one second and it just becomes a cesspool in there just one Pornographic statement after another. Oh, no, it's okay. It's never mind. I misread that, you know I'm wearing the wrong glasses, you know, it's hard for me to hard for me to read sorry Where's Maverick? That's a good question. Maybe fail safe is Maverick Maybe Scarlett is Maverick Scarlett could be Maverick She could be a Maverick Okay, so Here's this and honestly the weight Feels just like the vintage the plastic feels just like the vintage some things that are Immediately noticeable that are different from the vintage sky striker vintage sky striker came with the wings intact This is like the 30th anniversary where the wings are Detached and you have to to attach them, but of course the vintage had the wings Fixed they were not in pieces like this They've got This tail thing whatever that is. Oh, and this is cool. Oh, thank you Jeffrey for the super chat The two engines should be okay The two engines should be in the corner flaps in the box That the body of the sky striker came in are they not there the two engines? Oh, yeah, I didn't see them Now that you point that out I think they're supposed to be right here, but they are not Let me make sure they didn't stay in one of the Planter cardboard sleeves. That's no no no not there not there. Thank you for pointing that out because Because it wasn't there it did it did they fall out in here. Let's see There's nothing in there. They can't be in there. There's nothing in there. Did I did I get shorted two engines? It's not gonna fly it won't fly with no engines look I'm no I'm no airplane scientist, but even I know it doesn't fly with no engines All right, let me let me let me look through this just to make sure That I didn't drop it, but I'm pretty sure I didn't you saw me take it out. There was nothing else in there Yeah, you watched it you were there you were you were you were right there. It was it unfolded on your screen and I think let's see either Hmm, let's see The the the Rectangle thing that I threw it you didn't had anything it had nothing in it and this is the other one. It doesn't have anything in it Yeah, empty. Yeah Okay, so we maybe we may have a slight quality control problem, but maybe not Maybe not. I'm checking it could have fallen in somewhere. I'm checking. I'm checking. Give me a sec Okay, so An interesting issue now that I've discovered because if it doesn't have any engines It's gonna be difficult to do a compare and contrast with the vintage sky striker because it's got to have it's it the One thing I do know as an expert in vintage gi Joe the vintage sky striker Did have engines? This does not I can see this is where they should be. This is where they should be right here one But there was nothing there when I opened it not a thing And Nothing fell out. I'm just double-checking Nothing fell out Yeah, the cat is really enjoying the the boxes and the packing material here. Yeah, okay Okay, well, huh, huh? Huh Alright, alright, well, well, well, well, well, let's let's soldier ahead with what we have. Okay. Let me let me assemble it As much as I can with what we have But yeah, that's That's a little bit of a problem. That's I I Of course and until I know otherwise I will assume that it's my fault I will assume that I dropped it somewhere, but I didn't drop it. That's the thing. I didn't drop it anywhere I did I did nothing fell nothing dropped. I opened the thing. You saw it one nothing in there But but I will dig through all this stuff again after the show and see if if I can come up with anything In the meantime in the meantime, let's uh, let's put this together. I have I have the instruction sheet. I have the wings I have the Ailerons and the the failure runs or whatever they're called So I will start By snapping on the wings because that's what it tells me to do And we had another canopy right yeah, so we have an alternate canopy That's interesting It's it's similar To the other one That's cool. Okay. Anyway, sorry. They're getting sidetracked. Let's start by snapping the wings on Should be as simple as pressing them in at the slots Now I have assembled I have assembled a The 50th anniversary sky striker the the silent strike set one the one that came with sightline so I have done this before and When I did it before It was a pain. It was kind of a pain in the butt. So I'm hoping this will be easier Because goodness knows we needed to save space right that there was there was that box was so tightly packed We needed to save space By by having the wings, you know not pre-assembled Good grief that is tight Bear with me for a moment folks talk amongst yourselves so sky strikers How angry are you at the sky that you feel like striking it? You know sometimes the sky will rain when you don't want it to Sometimes it won't rain when you do want it to the sky listens to no one who does the sky think it is after all You know screw that sky. Let's let's strike it with a sky striker Oh, thank you Matt Rubin don't assemble until Hasbro tells you not to send it back. That's a good point Yeah, that's actually a good point because Once I get this in I will not be able to get it back out again. So anyway, so nice seeing everybody Thanks for showing up. I am actually gonna follow that advice Matt because I don't know What they're gonna want to do about The missing engine so I'm going to put this wing back in here. I'm going to Hang on to this so now this does mean that the eventual full review of this thing will be delayed Because I have got to solve that problem. I will I'll double check everything here. I'll give you I'll post an update I'll pull it post an update if I find the engines but I Didn't see anything fall out. I opened the box. I showed you what was in it I pulled out everything that was there I see the slots where they should be and they ain't there They're they didn't fall into any of the other packaging. I looked at that, but I'll check. I'll double check. I'll double check If if they're in there anywhere Well, we'll um I'll give you an update. I'll post an update on the social medias and the internets and I'll let you know but anyway, so So the so we're we will we will not assemble that Maybe maybe next time we will get to what everybody is really here for is the opening of this python patrol Cobra bat that I got at target, but in the meantime I will say good night um Cobra our comic tropes says I scrubbed back and they are just not there So yeah, you look back in the the earlier part of the screen the stream They're they're missing They're missing the the only chance that I have them is if they got packed somewhere else Uh where they're not supposed to be or they fell out somewhere Uh, but I'll I'll check I'll I'll post an update if I find them. But anyway, thank you everyone for watching I'm gonna wrap up. I'm gonna clean up because I am now surrounded by cardboard and paper Uh and the cat is Is catting he's just being a cat Um, but thank you everyone. Um, I will see you soon with another vintage review I will see you soon also with another Uh live stream next Tuesday.

I know that But you gotta you gotta tighten that up because occasionally you will have a guy Opening it streaming on the internet in front of millions of people and and then you you the engines aren't there So anyway, all right, but I will I'll wrap it up.
