 Hello everyone. Hi Emory. Hi Eevee, G, M, Z, and Pence of Ruin. How you doing? I'm just posting the notice Couple places really quick and then we'll get started. Hey, I Ionic blood. I missed your comment. I'm sorry Hey everyone, bear with me just for a moment. All right. How's everybody doing tonight? We're on Good evening, Brian and JK Everybody hear me, okay? volume good the volume in on these live streams seems to be a Little lower than I'd like maybe I can adjust that at some point and Marie melting. That's no good We actually just had a storm here. Okay Alright Green Yeti. Hey, good to see you again Yeah, we had a storm here. It's still pretty wet outside There was some cloud to ground lightning and it was I think it might have been a little loud for our live stream Although, I think it's mostly past now. It's probably safe, but I thought Shooting indoors would be better this time. All right Okay, now I just need to Okay, cool Bernie in California. Yeah Oh Well, I I finished the Pepsi. I'm sorry. I finished the Pepsi before we started and I'm all out All systems go. All right We're in Glenpool If you're in Glenpool, it would have come from there and kind of raked across downtown Tulsa and then broken arrow where I am So, yeah, that was the same system All right, well at least somebody's drinking Pepsi. So we're all good. We're good to go. Okay. Well I'll give everybody a few minutes to to come aboard and Just out the spur of the moment. I wanted to have a topic I've tried to have something specific to talk about in each of these live streams And I was having a hard time thinking of something this time a good ATU as well hymns of battle With little Omega sign. That's cool Coca-Cola much. Well, I've always you know, ever since I was a kid. We were always a Pepsi family. Coke is fine, too I do actually have I like coke with alcoholic beverages, but I'm not gonna do that right now because I want to be able to make it through this live stream So I hey Joe motion videos. So I guess is like Drinking a soda now a tradition for this show and I'm the one who's breaking the tradition because I don't have one Isaac you're late. That'll be five demerits and please sit in the corner Okay, so anyway, I thought I would have something to talk about specifically and I was having a hard time thinking of what to talk about so I wanted to On the spur of the moment, I decided to talk about 90s GI Joe and I wanted to talk about I Wanted to see I went through all of my Sorted figures For each year and I picked out one from each year 90 91 92 93 94 I think I got one of each That figures that I like from those years and that I haven't reviewed yet Make sure I haven't actually reviewed these yet. Yeah, okay. We're good. So I was able to find at least one figure from each year that That I liked so What I'll do once we get a few more folks in is I'll just go through these and I'll show you some of 90s GI Joe That that I did enjoy 90s lost focus. Yes, I agree the 90s was just kind of The 90s GI Joe didn't know quite what it wanted to be so it tried to be a little bit of everything and You can't really You can't be good at everything. You got to you got to know where your strengths are so So So I'll have that for you. I have figures that I've just pulled out of my bins One from let me get them sorted here 90 91 92 93 and 94 okay, so I'm gonna set those all out So I can pull those out and show you guys here in a minute Headhunters Yeah, like the yeah like that headhunters led by head man for DEF The the headhunters Figures like the the minion the troopers were really cool Really amazingly cool. I mean almost too cool for DEF maybe In another context They would be just awesome and I love having those figures Road pig yeah, he was he was all right Isaac yeah, I've seen that Black Cobra stiletto for Batman It's it's interesting looking. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one just because a black stiletto would be pretty cool I guess by that point Hasbro had bought Had bought canner and so they were able to kind of cross pollinate like that Is do I feel like there's a divide between the OG collectors and the modern Joe collectors some yeah There doesn't have to be and there are a lot of old-school collectors that collect modern GI Joe and What I tell everyone and I stick by it is I don't tell anyone how to collect there's no There's no right way to collect you collect because it's something that you want It's because you enjoy, you know assembling these things Into your collection whatever that collection may be so nobody can really tell you that you're doing it wrong There does seem to be I think some unnecessary tension between modern and vintage Joe collectors But if you live by the motto that you don't You don't really have any business telling somebody else how they ought to collect then there shouldn't be no problem so Yeah, oh by OG I assume that you're meaning like the three and three-quarter inch You know 80s and 90s GI Joe versus you know the modern era Like the 25th anniversary and beyond with the modern Modern articulation and sculpting I see I assume that's what you mean 90s Joe's hit-and-miss best ones from a 90 91 92 was yeah I Agree that that it was hit-and-miss. I mean you can point to some really weird and Substandard figures, you know in even going through the 80s So I mean not every figure was perfect in any era but But in in the 90s in my opinion again just my opinion there was more Miss than hit So yeah But even even though there was I think more weirdness in the 90s I was still able to find at least one figure that I have and that I haven't reviewed yet That that I really like in that era Deep six like deep six version two is a really good figure and it's considering that Deep six version one was kind of abysmal It's a vast improvement on on the original oh pence of ruin Gives me a highlighted chat says a CC love the channel. Thank you for that and thank you for the modern Rock-and-roll figure That'll be something that does get featured in the future Yeah, the super chat I only learned recently learned about the super chat I'm not I'm new to this live streaming thing. So thank you for that. I appreciate that So yeah, the super super chat is kind of a new fangled thing for me But if you send me a super chat, I will I'll make sure that I answer it Yeah, grunts from the 90s Bullhorn yeah Who again as we should probably get started on this because I didn't want to go through these and I wanted to show you one vehicle from the 90s That I will do an assembly on It's one that I picked up at Joe con It's Alright, I'm sorry. Sometimes you guys type too fast and I can't keep up. Alright Anyway, I got this at Joe con the razor blade, which I believe is from 94 94 right 1994 So this is a 90s vehicle. I can't pass judgment on it yet because I haven't assembled it yet Hi, Rick. How you doing? But this is it is still the box is open it wasn't sealed when I got it I got the open box, but the contents on the inside are Still sealed Some factory sealed bags there with all the parts got all the Literature in there Instructions and all that so This will be something that I make sure I carefully put it back in the box that I will eventually do a an assembly video on Which may give some vintage, you know meant and sealed Box collectors heart attack, but it's something that I've been enjoying and I didn't want to point out something I tried to point it out in the video, but when On my assembly of the sea ray I wanted to make sure that everybody understood. I was not disappointed in any way whatsoever I very much enjoyed that assembly and I very much happy that I'm very happy that I Got it, and I'm very happy with mr. Mike Lopez who sent it to me. So Absolutely, no complaining on my part So that was that was cool, and this will be one that I get to eventually. I'm not sure exactly when But I will get to it An annual 90s month. I've thought about it. I have thought about it And we're gonna get close to that probably In the coming months because I've spent so much time in the 80s That I've got to get back to the 90s So I've got to cover a lot of 90s in the next few months So I don't know if it'll amount to a theme month, but it's gonna be lots of 90s Colonial news network. Thank you very much. I'm glad you're enjoying the show and thanks for the thumbs up on the video Juan a la verga. Hello. Hi. How you doing? Razor blade, I think it might be I mean it looks cool from the back and It's got some interesting features Yeah, slide along string to knock down enemies or rescue Gijos, so it's got like that thing where it has like a zipline kind of thing So it could be interesting. I'll take a look at it The 1992 age 74 desert Apache the desert Apache I have seen and it looks really cool I don't have one yet But I look forward to getting my hands on one It looks really neat and and that's an often overlooked Vehicle a lot of Joe collectors forget about that one. I think because it did come out in the 90s So that's what I'm looking forward to checking out Why are you seeing the images in mirror vision, oh, I don't know I think is this thing mirroring I think it might my apologies is probably my phone and It's it's like flipping the the image around So That's weird and I'm not sure how to fix that. I will see if I can figure that out later So but thanks for pointing that out. I didn't know that it was doing that on your end But now I do so Everybody sees this as a mirror image It's the writing backwards. Is that right? I'll figure it out There's something probably in the settings that I can do to fix that, but I don't see it right now. So I will work on it Okay, thanks, David. All right. Thanks Kevin. I'll figure it out. I'll fix that at least I'll try to fix it for the next one Okay, yes knowing is half the battle the other half is finding the setting to fix that issue All right, but hey, let's talk about these. I have an array of figures from the 1990s To show you okay, I don't know why I got that one out, but okay, here we go Let's start with 1990 Dem guts you are late. So you have to sit in the corner for five minutes. Sorry. That's the rules Say your name again. I read your name as Juan a la verga. Did I get close? Okay I'm going to rant about eco warriors soon. Well, hey There is an eco warriors option in the latest patron patreon poll. So if that one wins, I'll talk about it I'll talk about it. Although I really don't mind the figure itself all that much Eco warriors, especially if you get look at how eco warriors Excuse me was represented in the media It's pretty rough The storyline in the comic book series that covered eco warriors That is pretty rough fun fact age 74 Originally was not originally designed for the GI Joe toy line actually designed for Hasbro Sonic Fighters series I I don't know if I knew that but thank you for pointing that out I don't know all I know about that toy. I really haven't looked into it that much because I don't have it yet I'm a fan of the ghost striker x16. Yes Another one that I don't have but I've seen it and it's a pretty sweet jet So hey, see there are there are things from the 90s that are good not just okay, but actually really good Do I have the cobra piranha Or Joe Barracuda, I do have the Barracuda. I don't have the piranha Okay, all right now, and I don't want to ignore you guys. I don't want to ignore your comments, but and but I'm going to Start with the a Figure from the 90s looks like we might have a troll in here, but I can fix that. Hello Hold on and I can fix no problem All right Sorry to derail the conversation there Okay, except my Laptop is having a heck of a time keeping up. Okay Now number one From 1990 some of you probably already guessed it bullhorn This is cool Yeah, intervention specialist, but this this guy is dressed like a soldier. I mean look at that camouflage Look at those colors. I mean this in any era. This is cool The details are nice the accessories are nice. I have written on here that I guess I'm missing his rifle but he's got that backpack and the Sorry, he's got the the backpack if I can remember how to get it open like There we go the backpack. Oh, I guess. Yeah. Oops. It has it has the rifle bits in it Which is awesome, I mean that is just so awesome so Bullhorn scores well on all fronts I mean it has the figure the design the sculpt the color the accessories Just really awesome. So that choosing a figure that I liked from 1990 Was easy bullhorn. I know it is a lot of your favorites too. So so really cool 1991 actually wasn't all that hard to find one that I like in 1991 In 1991 We have let me take it. Well, no, it's all right. I'll leave it on heavy-duty now heavy-duty's accessories are Are a little on the absurd side But but I really actually really like the figure the details on the figure are really nice and I made the the gun of his crotch gun is is a bit over the top but That camouflage pattern that he has on here. I gotta I try to Pull this off and see if I can remove the backpack without breaking it Because I'd like to show you guys the figure Although I'm sure a lot of you know a lot about heavy-duty, and I'm not showing you anything new but It's a really nice camouflage pattern on it Some nice detail like the ripped sleeves. I like the the sculpt of the the head and the The hat and overall colors are pretty good. So Yeah Yeah The the huge cannon whoops the huge cannon at crotch level is is A little silly, but but the figure itself is quite nice. So 1991 is pretty easy to find one that I like not bad not bad pretty good 1992 Let's move on to 1992 I have it was actually pretty easy to find one here that I like to The first version of bulletproof Is just a nice military-looking figure. I wish I could review it But that's that microphone that goes on his helmet. I had it. I had it I know I have it or had it, but it must have fallen off dropped on the floor Something happened to it. It's gone. I don't I don't have it anymore, but the figure itself. I think it's pretty good It's a basic, you know kind of digital camouflage Military fatigues and that's all it needs to be you know, it doesn't do anything crazy or outrageous It just is what it is and it's just a really cool military figure. So Yeah, I'm getting a little backlit now since the storm has passed now the sun's out again but bulletproof Version one from 1992 really like this figure and if you're a fan of 80s GI Joe this probably would appeal to you as well because it does have that kind of really grounded military look to it Really great great. So not actually not that hard to find one that I liked in 1992 as well Let's keep it moving let's keep it moving All right, let me make sure I've got the All right, let me make sure I've got that. Okay. Yeah, okay All right 1993 was actually a little bit harder. It was a little bit harder in 1993 to find one that I thought was Really super awesome. Now. There are some good figures in 19 in 1993 Thank you. Thanks. It's my shirt There are some good 93 figures, but I don't necessarily have all of them 93 was a huge year. There are so many figures that year and I don't have all of them but using the criteria of like figures that I Have and have not reviewed yet This was the one that jumped out of me that I thought was Was really good. It's duke version 4 from 1993 And not a bad version of duke pretty much just a straight camouflage for a desert camouflage version of duke And I think it's fine It was a little bit tougher though because There are a couple problems. I do have with the figure that helmet being non It's like well that focus that helmet being non removable Makes his head look a little funny I also like feel like you should have a belt sculpted on And the lack of belt is a little bit. Um, I don't know. It seems like there's something missing So not a bad version of duke Not a bad figure in general Uh, and you know, I I I like my realistic military fatigues and giving us a pretty much a straight desert camouflage figure Um, I'm gonna I'll pretty much enjoy that every time You know, they had a little bit of trouble giving us like straight desert camouflage They had some desert thing figures, but their desert camouflage sometimes was a little uh lacking uh little, uh Uh, we it leaves a bit to be desired. Uh jenna. Hi, how are you doing? I do have a few words for everyone. Um Just in general about the channel once i'm done with this little um project here this little presentation For those who've just joined us. Um, I uh Wanted to show you a figure from each year Uh in the 90s that I liked Um it had with the criteria that it's a figure that I have that I have not reviewed yet Uh, hi chris. How is that? I was going um Bad news well not bad news for the channel. Um, so you know You know, you can unclench your unclench your butt cheeks. It's not too bad But I did want to make sure that uh, I talk with you guys and let you know how things are going. Um, so for those who Uh, who just arrived and haven't been here for the duration Um the figures that I've shown so far For 1990 it was bullhorn For 1991 it was heavy duty for 1992 it was bulletproof and from 1993 it was duke and Lastly from 1994 and I was actually really hard to find one. I don't have Uh, nearly as many 94 figures as I do other years. I've got quite a few holes in that year Um, so it was a little bit tough to find one that I liked But there was one that stood out And it was a gift from someone Uh, this is the 1994 Um gi joe mail away figure Uh, this is uh, basically joe colton The original gi joe or a three and three quarter inch representation of The original gi joe. This is still sealed in the factory bag But it's got it's a straight military uniform And not a bad one either and it does kind of harken back to those early days of gi joe And I mean actually really early as in the 1960s when this gi joe looked like a larger version of this That's what gi joe was. Um, that's what got it started and that's why it was popular to begin with So that is my 1994 figure which rounds out our Look at one figure for each year of the 90s that I like and that I haven't reviewed yet. I did see a few Um in the bins that um, I like but I had already reviewed them So I decided to make it a little more of a challenge and only pick ones that I have not reviewed yet um I was uh, uh, the joe colton the gun is taller than he has. Yeah, I Yeah, that's something that I've noticed that that giant machine gun is a bit out of scale Uh, it's I think it's supposed to be an m 60 And there have been uh better, you know m 60s or at least m 60 analogs in the gi joe line Do I have 12 inches? Well, I have a couple 12 inch figures. Um, a couple action soldiers from the, uh Between 1964 and 1967 In their original uniforms and with their original equipment I uh, here's our tan cobra Um, I like the the, uh 12 inch joes from the 60s. I don't have any in front from the 70s, but I might like those too. Um, I really When I am able to hold uh, a 1960s 12 inch gi joe figure in my hands It really I really feel connected to my roots. I feel like, you know, I'm touching a piece of history and they're just really Uh, really Cool to have. Um, and if you've never Seen one before never, you know Touched one before, you know, see if you can get your hands on one. You'll notice that, you know, they're really remarkably high quality toys. Um, you know They've been around for a long time. Uh, they were played with pretty roughly a lot of them took quite a beating but They were designed to hold together pretty well um Grandmother consumed a 1969 12 inch. She turned it into a combat medic from Oh, uh, custom. I thought that's okay. Uh, custom to 1967 12 inch turned it into a combat medic for my uncle See, that's nice. That's nice. And for, um, uh, service members, um, or families of service service members You really could, you know, get a gi joe that, um, looked like Your family member as a kid, you know, if you dad served in the armed forces, you could get a gi joe that probably looked a lot like dad Uh, with, you know, very authentic looking uniforms from every branch of service and lots of specialties. Um, Uh, it was for that era. It was really cool. Um, didn't last but, um Uh, you like colobulus, uh, he was cool. Well, okay. I'm glad that you like, uh, colobulus and, uh, I'm Always happy when someone finds something that they enjoy. Uh, never want to take that away from you In fact, if I didn't need a colobulus figure for my collection so that, you know, I can Make sure that I have it for reference. I would be glad to give you mine A 12 inch colobulus Hmm, you know with that tail. He's close to 12 inches already um Modern gi joe anniversary line. You mean like the like the 12 inch Uh, nemesis, nemesis enforcer. Um, yeah, I like the name nemesis enforcer. It's a cool name um Because you were fond of the navy joe's because your dad and uncle were in the navy. Well, I think that's um I think a lot of people have that connection Uh, that that was an appeal of, uh, gi joe for a lot of kids um, and especially when When the 1960s gi joe hit and when the 1982 gi joe hit it was, um In an era when a lot of kids had family members that were, you know Service members or had recently come back from service So, uh, there was Um, there was an appeal to that Um ace because he's air force like your dad. Yeah. Yeah. See that's That's a great personal connection and to me those personal connections mean, uh, I think more than Um necessarily the the merits of the figure itself and you know, we on this channel, I do talk about the merits of Each figure. Uh, I talk about what I think is good and bad about it But, uh, the personal connections that we have with them, uh, kind of Outweigh all of that And also I don't want anybody to think that if I'm criticizing a figure and if I don't think it's very good That that means I don't think you should like it. Um Especially because people have those personal connections to these toys It's something that I always try to keep in mind that, um, all of these toys no matter how weird they were Each of them was probably some kid's favorite toys for some kid. It may have been their only gi joe toy Uh, they didn't have tons of figures vehicles and stuff like that, but they had that special connection with that one toy Uh, that that kid just loved that ice cream soldier so much Um So, you know, you know, keep that in mind. I I have no problem criticizing plastic But I don't I'm not gonna make fun of people for liking something that I don't Um With you being a 13 year old today, um 13 and collecting gi joe and prowl Thank you for your service. Um, I am glad that you are. Um, I wish that more Kids your age would I wish more kids younger than you would. Um, I hope that um, eventually Uh That will get that spark back and you know gi joe will have the cool factor again Um, and kids will You know want to get into it again Uh loved all the winter figures Um living in florida miss temperatures Uh below 95 000. All right. I can I I get that I I get that. I understand that Um, uh grandpa was world war two navy e9, uh senior master chief. Uh, you have all of his medals. That's awesome. That's awesome My grandpa was in the uh Was in the army in world war two From what he's told us. I guess he was a communication specialist In the european theater As for his medals and memorabilia, there isn't a lot. He didn't keep most of it When he came home from the war he for Most of the rest of his life. I mean he's still alive but um He didn't talk about it. Uh, he wouldn't talk about it. Uh, he wouldn't answer questions about it So a lot of us didn't know what he did in the war Until really only the last few years. He's talked about a little bit more, but uh He was traumatized by war enough that he once he came home. He pretty much left that Um left that behind Joe motion videos grandfather served under patent my grandfather did as well And I think he's mentioned that he has a memory of patent of seeing him one time um Hey, javier gunzala. How you doing? Yeah flashbacks. Um, yeah, that's that's You know, um These toys and comic books and cartoons and all of that. Uh, that's it's fun. It's a fun adventure But uh, it is you know, it does touch on something That is real. Um, and that can have Quite an impact on people. So that's something to keep in mind Something to be respectful of as we talk about these toys that are dressed up like army men I'm sorry that you were bullied in sixth grade. I can relate to that. I can Sland into jam lockers. That's that uh, that it's not cool, but I understand. Hi bill Um Looks like we're doing pretty good. Thanks for everybody for showing up uh Well, uh, green yeti. I hope that uh, you recovered and I hope that you were able to move on from that That's not a pleasant experience Uh, ran with iceberg and snow job wearing Uh, cooling suits for florida heat conditions Um Yeah, you know, that's a good point. You know, I always pondered whether or not like Winter themed or snow themed figures. Uh, hey leo. Thank you If those figures were would appeal more to kids who lived in environments where they got a lot of snow Um where I live and we would usually get some snow, but not very much Uh But I never thought about like the opposite. So you live in florida And it's hot Uh, and you don't get snow. So maybe um So maybe uh Having the snow themed figures can make you think of something cool or you know get that the heat off of your mind a little bit Um stalker stalker was your fave. So mine too. Uh, hey chris. How's it going? Um Why do they ever make uh christmas themes? Why didn't they ever make christmas themed gi joe? Um, I don't think they made a christmas themed figure, but there was a christmas theme at least one christmas themed Uh cartoon episode maybe maybe more than one Um, what was that one where like cobra shrunk down its its vehicles and and like It was really weird christmas themed episode. I'll have to watch it again. Um, that was It was something else Yeah, cobra claws are coming in town. That's the one. That's the one. I couldn't remember the title. Yeah, that's it. That's it Um 12 days of christmas gi joe episode. Well, um Christmas is my favorite holiday. So, uh, maybe I can do something special for it I do have something special in mind for the last review of the year Um, so I've already got that part planned What shows you think uh speak with a regional accent always pictured scarlet having Uh a soft sort of an accent scarlet ought to have a southern accent, but um In the animated series She didn't really and that voice is kind of stuck in my head And that's kind of become scarlet's voice to me even though it it doesn't fit the region that she came with or came from Uh really want an ice ice cream soldier. Um Uh, well cool, um Uh, so you're welcome, you know Actually really makes me happy when somebody watches one of my ranty reviews and you know, I've Actin all crazy because I think the figure is tellerable and you tell me that hey I like it and I want to get it. Well, good. Good. That makes me happy That means you are thinking for yourself. You are making your own decisions And you can do that Even when some guy on the internet is flapping his arms and screaming Hey, thanks, brian First gi joe yours was hot version two. My first was breaker version one the straight arm breaker From 1982 I got that figure. Um the first gi joe commercial that I ever Um Saw was in 82 and it was the the commercial where That had breaker and the ram motorcycle Which I think was actually the second commercial that aired. I didn't don't remember seeing the first one But I thought breaker looked cool in that he looked important in that Uh commercial so I just assumed he must be an important character. Um, but um, I I don't remember specifically If that was the reason why I got that figure Because he didn't come with any guns or anything. He only had the headset or the backpack and stuff But yeah, that's the one I latched on to first Your first was snake eyes version one. Yeah, that's a good one to start with That's a good one to start with Um, your first was short fuse. See, um, there are some old school guys here I've been privileged to meet a lot of gi joe fans that came along in the 90s Or the maybe the late 80s, so they didn't get in on like the the first few years And i'm glad that they are fans and i'm glad they're uh in our community But you know, there are still a few of us old folks that remember that first run And when they hit man when they hit they were big Um, it I remember before that everything was star wars But after that, um, I mean, I still picked up star wars here and there But uh, it Became, you know heavily lean heavily toward gi joe. There's just so much more you could do with gi joe figure than you could do with a star wars figure Um Surprise now high prices have jumped lately on joes Um like the hurricane, uh, I guess Um, I the trend has been uh that direction for a little while now prices have been trending upward I don't think i'm surprised by it, but I don't think that it necessarily Is going to be a long-term trend. I feel like there's a bit of a bubble I think that some of it is fed been fed by Recent media attention on vintage toys Such as the netflix series the toys that made us which is a good series that I liked very much But I think that it turned a lot of people on to the idea of collecting vintage toys So I think the demand is going up and I think that's driving the prices up a bit But I think some of that attention will wane a bit and I think prices will come back a little bit more toward normal, um, but uh In the long long term of poor prices always go up But we've got we've had a spike here and I think that spike is more more of a bubble I think I think it'll settle down a bit if you're patient. I think it'll settle down Lost the bad accessories within a week or so. Well, those were tiny accessories First character you gravitated toward was cobra commander because it was blue First joey bought with allowance money of that cobra commander and duke comic pack With issue number 24 Do I have that? I don't know if I have that or not I was sent all of those things But I have a hard time remembering what else was in that that collection Yeah, the I of course, I love the quality of gi joe toys in the 80s. I think they were great I think they were one of the reasons they were great is because they were designed as toys. They're not they weren't designed as display pieces They were supposed to be sturdy. They were supposed to have like excuse me accessories that fit They were supposed to They were supposed to be played with That being said even at the time Some of the accessories were really tiny and were just bound to get lost. It was just gonna happen All right. Oh, sorry, I missed some of your comments So cheap online Sergeant savage. Yeah, there's just a little less of a demand for sergeant savage and there's a lot of them around They're not really rare. Some of the vehicles are though. There's actually more demand for some of the vehicles But I did my sergeant savage review and I got Figures mint on the card and I did not pay very much for them. So So if you if you want to get sergeant savage, you can get sergeant sergeant savage without paying too much I would also like to know if there was a combat engineer. I believe toll booth was a combat engineer The first vehicle was the mudbuster. Uh, what was my first? I have a harder time remembering what my first vehicle was for some reason that that didn't stick in my head as much as my first figure Osvander says keep up. Uh, great work. Love your videos. Thank you very much Uh, I really appreciate that and that's very encouraging and I need the encouragement right now. Believe me Um, my first vehicle, I think it might have been the jump jetpack or the ram motorcycle But I I gotta be honest. I can't exactly remember Um, for some reason that just it's just not sticking in my head um The mobat, uh, yeah First vehicle was the sky striker. That's a great one to start with Uh Joe motion videos Byron first was the ram. That's Um, I personally I think Well, almost all the vehicles from 82, uh were excellent, you know introductions for gi joe Um, the flak was from 82, right the flak Wasn't maybe quite up to snuff, but You know, you had an 82 you had a big tank. You had a jeep, you know, you had a motorcycle What else do you need? Um Half of joe's made it to the attic half stay in the basement. Unfortunately mom tossed your toys from the basement Um Well, at least you saved half of them. That's more than I saved all I have is what was in that little toolbox I got nothing else And I don't know what happened to my old ones I am pretty sure that they got tossed out On one of the occasions when my parents moved They say that they didn't throw anything away honest. They didn't throw anything away. They wouldn't do a thing like that But um, I just think things didn't make the move. Um That's my theory. Um But that's okay. I mean I have I have I probably have no I definitely I definitely have more gi joe toys now than I had when I was a kid So I can't complain Cobra hiss was your first another great vehicle. Man, I love most of the vehicles from that era um and the the hiss tank is As as weird it is as it is admittedly it's weird, you know, but it's weird in a cool way Um Able to complete one figure from the toolbox. Uh, yeah, uh, that was toxo viper The toxo viper is the only figure from all those parts that I could completely put together That toxo viper Um Joes were sold at a yard sale Uh too old for kids toys. Yeah, I'm probably too old for kids toys. That's probably true But you know what all that stuff that got sold at yard sales It does it does come back to the community. You know, eventually it ends up back with us Uh, so hopefully someday, uh, your toys will make it back around to you. Um dragonfly was awesome I agree the slugger was your first vehicle Again, a great one to start with Uh, sky striker, um is a beautiful jet. I love the sky striker So, um Okay, sorry it had to reconnect. Hopefully I'm back. Um, I'm still making videos I'm still aggressive on the next review video. Uh, it's almost done Uh, but um, but my time has been much more pinched than usual. I have not had nearly as much, uh, free time to work on videos that I used to have Um, a lot of extra work is going into learning this new position Um, and it's just the fact that it's a new new position I'm I'm practicing a completely different area of law than I had been for three years Uh, and I'm having to kind of learn it on the go and it's not been easy Uh, and it's taken a lot of my extra time Now at some point at least in theory, I should be more proficient and when I reach that point, uh, I'll I'll be back to normal Um njad974 hello to you as well But uh, but I wanted to let you know, I know that some of you guys have sent me messages You've sent me emails and I haven't replied and I'm sorry. I want to get to you guys, uh And keep up with you guys and keep communicating with you guys It's not because I I don't want to reply and I do try to read everything that I get in But I'm usually nowadays not in a position where I can reply Um, oh you sent me an email. Thank you. Um, I'll I promise I'll try to I'll try to, uh, get to it Um Yeah, uh, it's It's been a tough Couple weeks, uh, and it looks like it's going to continue to be a tough few weeks Ahead so all of my time is going to be committed to just getting the videos done getting them out So that I can keep up and make sure you guys still have reviews to watch So Is going and I apologize. I know you guys have sent me messages and I'm sorry. I haven't gotten back with you Oh, what kind of liquor? Um, I'm kind of a bourbon guy. Now. I like scotch What was the one I used to drink? Glenn fiddich used to be the scotch that I would drink, uh, but it's it runs a bit pricey and I haven't indulged lately, but I still have a nip of bourbon every once in a while Um Cosplay fantasy camp out happening this weekend on friday the 10th saturday the 12th. Hope to see you all there Okay, so you saw that right. How do you get how you're gonna solace, uh cosplay Fantasy camp out so make sure to ask that dude, uh, how you can get involved and go to that I don't know what it is, but I'm sure it'd be fun. It sounds like fun Um, yeah, glenn fiddich 18 year I've had More than a couple bottles of that and it's pretty good Um, anyway, I wanted to let you guys know why if you sent me anything why I haven't gotten back with you I'm sorry about that. Uh, it's just been a heck of a time But not to worry. Uh, I am still Producing videos The next one is in the works. It's almost ready. It's almost ready. It's gonna be ready early It will have it up on time but uh, but Extra stuff that I like to do for the channel. I may have to put a little bit of that on the back burner until my schedule evens out Uh, do I have the hammer? I do have it, but it's not complete What is missing is what most of them are missing and that it's that stupid antenna You know what I'm talking about the hammer came with an antenna that ran like from the back to the front kind of did a loop Um And that's what I'm missing and that's the hardest part to find the most expensive part when you do find it Um, so that's what I've got to keep my eye out on for to complete the hammer I like the hammer. I mean the hammer is a sweet vehicle, especially for that era Uh, but um, but I still haven't quite been able to nail that down and complete it Uh, h cc 78 motion picture be in the works, you know, that is I had Mrs. H cc actually, uh, tossed that idea out not that long ago. Uh, that would be fun. Uh, It would be fun. Um, I'd do it Um, peter steele is dead. Yes, that's correct. Peter steele has passed away Yep, I met peter steele once um, I went to see typo negative in Nashville Uh, and he was out by the tour bus, you know, signing stuff. So we got to meet him Cold slither is fiction Are you sure? Are you really sure? Uh, do I have the mud buster? I don't have the mud buster. Um, I've had On occasions I've had my eye on the mud buster, but um, it keeps getting bumped down and I don't know priority level, um Because I got to pick up some other things I did what hey another thing I can tell you another bit of news better news good news Um I recently made an acquisition That will ensure that we will have the big review At the beginning of next year the big item to review for next year has been acquired It's not the defiant. It doesn't look like I'm going to have the defiant ready on time. Uh, so I went ahead and um I I got something that would work as as a substitute for the big review at the beginning of the year So I'm happy about that. I love to show it to you. I'd like it's just right over there But I can't show it to you because it's got to be a surprise uh, but uh Now that I've done that I can turn my attention back to the defiant because I um, some of you folks have been sending me like links to uh defiant parts that are for sale Uh, and I'm now I can like replenish my funds and um, and start Getting some of those larger defiant parts So I can actually start to assemble it and it can start to look more complete Uh, you get a lot of you guys have actually sent me a bunch of defiant parts and that's been a huge help Um, I'll especially a lot of those little parts that some of them can be really hard to find You guys have sent to me. Uh, and that's been uh, awesome Um, so the defiance coming together. It's not going to be ready by the beginning of january But it's a heck of a lot closer than I thought it would be um Yeah, but now my attention probably will turn to the defiant And trying to get that uh get that short up Uh as a piece that I'm currently looking for I'm actually uh, if you're talking about a piece on the defiant, uh those gantry doors Um I will not yet, but I will be on the hunt for those as soon as I Are replenish some of my funds um I I have I hope you look forward to seeing the defiant when it actually gets reviewed I'm looking forward to reviewing it. I've I've got some thoughts about it Um, and you know, you guys know that I'm not into the joes in space. That's just not my thing Uh, despite that though, you know setting that aside and just kind of looking at the defiant You know just for what it is Uh, there's it's pretty special. Uh, they put a lot of effort into this thing Um, some of the uh the details on it and the features on it are exceptional Um, and and some of them are also maybe a little, you know, less than you would expect So we'll give it a good thorough going over. Yes, we will. Um, thanks. Uh, Josiah, I appreciate that um So, yeah, that's a bit of good news I did pick up something. It actually arrived today That will be the big review for the first of the year 2019 Uh, hello, Port LaNorgan. Hello from Oklahoma um And and the downside is that I'm very busy lately, uh, and I just haven't been able to return your messages I think that's one of the benefits of doing a live stream like this If if I'm not able to return your emails and messages I apologize for that, but hey, this gives me a chance to kind of talk to you directly um Trying to piece together a vehicle the size of the defiant, uh, yeah a little bit, but um Uh, if if you're If you if you are patient, it's um, it's not it's not necessarily as bad as you'd think Some of the parts are going to be expensive. There's just no way around that But other parts that you you can find them you can um Does it start with a t I can't say I can't say it's got to be a surprise Or uh, I've really enjoyed talking with you guys Um, and uh, this I look forward to this every week, you know, this is a great, uh time for me every week Uh to kind of you know put the stress of work um past me and talk with you and uh that helped To go up on Wednesday I try to put up a little something in the middle of the week, but I don't think I have anything this time But in the meantime make sure to review x257.
