I'm gonna try to get to opening this gung-ho Retro classified figure because you know, I'd really like to take a look at it So we'll try to get to that a little bit later Hello low one bow to and die cast Nick It's nice to see everybody We made it to Tuesday Did not have a video on Sunday, but I posted about that Many things have gone wrong with the this this video and that's why I am sure that That the whole year is cursed a cursed a curse has descended upon me for the entire year Hello Marshall and Matthew And Dan Jammon Yeah, yeah, I I'm gonna do my best because like we got this right here. It's it's sitting right here I I can't miss it. It's very large and it's in my field of view Pegwoman still hasn't found that gung-ho. I was able to find this I found this in the wild I was I was really happy that I was actually able to find one But yeah, hello rich and Jay and hey, it's sparkster. Nice to see you sparkster Recently built an armadillo howl whirlwind and dreadnought tricycle Are you talking about Lego, right? You built them out of Lego. That's really cool. Hello cyclonus so What was I saying? We're gonna have a great show. Hello, JKC's nice to see you. Thank you for being here The call our curse can only be lifted by opening gung-ho. I guess we better get this thing open them this So I was thinking I was thinking Pegwoman says my Walmart has pegs and pegs of Lady J mine too Mine too it still does for some reason they ordered like two dozen Lady J's and I like the Lady J figure I like the Lady J figure, but who's gonna buy two dozen of them and then they had like One of these two dozen Lady J's one of these Chris says he likes good shows me too me too. I'll take good show over a bad show any old day of the week So yes, we are doing Whatever it is. We are doing the the retro cards oversized Yeah, they are a bit oversized with the you know the figures are bigger And you know, of course the figures are recolored and reissued from other figures But they do have slightly different accessories. I mean they has he has a better hat he has the Classic looking grenade launcher and all of that, but I guess like the selling point for the retro Figures is the the art right because I think that's what they're really wanting to focus on They want you to pay attention to the artwork and I mean that's why they have the artwork that goes all the way There's like no border. It it goes all the way to the edge It covers like the the whole card. They want you to they're really selling you with this artwork That's what they're going for As a retro storm shadow classified out if it is I haven't seen it So I don't know I have not seen it cat Sorry, the cat is trying to destroy something. Hello, David Andrews. Nice to see you family J Destro Baroness Then Walmart put them on clearance and still have not got gung-ho. Yeah mine The Walmart near me does not have them on clearance. They just have pegs and pegs of Lady J Hello, Robert is very nice to see you. Thank you Splitting shelf space with Lady J and the Baroness. Yeah, and I do have in fact I have Lady J and the Baroness I think they have them both over on that shelf over there and I like both those figures and don't get me wrong Lady J. That's a really nice figure the retro Lady J. It should not be a peg warmer With respect to peg warmers who was in here It should not be a peg warmer Except that somehow they shipped like they've I don't know who orders them But whoever what they either ordered or they receive like Five times as many Lady J's as anything else So were they really banking on Lady J being a hot seller out of that series? I don't know Hey, it's JLS comics. Nice to see JLS comics. Hello. I'm CDJ ACDC. Hello Terrence and hey It's sergeant slaughter slaughterhouse watching from the office. I won't tell anyone.

It's only Tuesday. It's still already been a very busy week Comic trope says ten thousand dollars I think that counts as a super chat. So comic tropes just sent me a super chat for ten thousand dollars. Thanks But that does remind me comic tropes is doing the the special Vampirella cover And I have ordered one and I should have got the link. I'm sorry, but if you do well I think it's on Kickstarter and it's comic trope to Vampirella cover so So grab that Chris from comic tropes needs the support Because he just sent me a super chat of ten thousand dollars. So, you know help him out help him out Indiegogo, I'm sorry Indiegogo not too sure on Indiegogo. Thank you very much. Thank you very much You know help comic tropes support his ten thousand dollar super chats. This is important Hello, Gussie and Yeah, incredibly generous. I you know, I don't know what to say. Thanks Remember the vanking on Lady J having more draw from supposed a Live-action show from Amazon that nobody knows what's happening with at this point The it was been so long since we've heard anything about the the live-action show that I'm considering it dead Until something actually new positive comes out and until something new comes out It's I'm just considering that a dead project. Hello. Dr. No good. What's the weirdest GI Joe vehicle ever? Well, the buzz boar is up there That's got to be up there pretty close to the top as far as weird goes now Hello, McCleary good and bad ape. Nice to see you Bad apes. Hey bad ape wants ten thousand. So since Chris since you're being generous If you just toss bad ape another ten thousand, you know Just just to help out Yo, Joe says greetings, Oklahoma from the state of confusion. Hey, that's here Yes, we are We in the land of Oklahoma We can't seem to figure out what season it is we've had four or five False springs it looked like it was gonna be spring, but it only reel it back in it's like no It's wintertime. It's still wintertime. He's oh, it's getting a little warmer. You think it's spring Oh, no, no wintertime still So, yeah, we're a little bit confused here, but I blame that on our state education system But I Yeah The pogo is yeah, the pogo. That's a that's that's something But anyway, oh, hello Andrew Andrew the guy so nice they named it twice nice to see you there now I was I was thinking That always a dangerous thing. I was thinking Here's what I was thinking You know, I've I've spent a lot of time Lately talking about non GI Joe things Too much time and this is a GI Joe Channel we are focused on GI Joe. So from here on from here until forever I am I'm gonna only talk about GI Joe. Nothing else. No other toy lines. They even exist on this channel I'm only only GI Joe from here on in fact, I got I got this Stargate wing glider right here But I'm not even gonna show it to you I won't even show it to you because it's not GI Joe this stuff Not not even going to appear on this channel not showing it to you. This is GI Joe only Hello the figure the figure six pack and Viola nice to see you North Carolina has a similar weather problem Yes, it's been it's been that kind of season the make up your mind planet Earth Planet Earth make up your mind what season it's supposed to be The pilot is getting a duck in the face. Yeah, see this is here's here's the important thing The important skill for for learning to fly one of these is learning how to breathe in space You have to be able to breathe in outer space In order to fly one of these things very tricky very trick. Most people cannot hold their breath that long Hello, Ivan. Nice to see you. Thank you for being here. Hello. Will And and yes, that's the other that this is what we are not focusing on GI Joe We're only focusing on GI Joe. We are not we are not focusing on other things hint hint and that's a perfect segue because I Hopefully I am not spoiling anything here But I got a special gift from From Chris from Chris from comic tropes In fact, does Chris even have a last name? I think Chris's last name is from comic tropes I think he legally changed it to to that but so Mr. From comic tropes Send me something is very generous on top of his $10,000 super chat That's it's very nice and he sent me something that I did not have something. I did not have and it's Is right here and I want to be very careful as I Handle this here. It is this monster is The 1988 Cobra bug and as you can see there the sector viper is in well, he's All right, I got easy so he's kind of he's asleep. He's asleep at the wheel But the sector viper is in there And we're gonna take a little bit of a look at this of course I'm gonna do a full review in the future But this is special. This is something that you know the actual full review of it That's me that needs to be a special occasion kind of thing because this is a large vehicle and heavily laden with features And it does indeed have The sector by probably take out the sector the sector viper I this front piece here is Removable, but I am not going to remove that because Now that I have this thing in hand and I'm looking at it I can see stress on the plastic where The way this is designed it makes me nervous it makes me nervous to stress some of the plastic at Certain points, so I'm not going to do that I would feel really bad if I broke this thing Right after getting it so I'm not gonna do I'm not even gonna risk it so I'm gonna open Ah And there I almost threw it on the floor. I'm going to open the the side door And he's gonna stumble out So these these Late 80s vehicles. They did not have the back pegs on the driver's seats like the earlier 80s stuff No, instead they had seat belts. They they have seat belts seat belts that were almost impossible to use So oh hello Jamalyn Parks. Nice to see you. Thank you for being here. Hello What am I so nice to see you. Thank you for being here as well Will says been watching channel for some time lover. Thank you very much. Thank you for watching I really appreciate that. Hello Kelvin. Hello Robert So here's the sector viper So yes, the the late 80s vehicles had Seat belts. Oh, thank you for the super chat. What's on Joe mind? That reminds me Wait right here. It's just what hold on one second sector viper. In fact, you sit here for a second I I did not do some of the preliminary things that I usually do the number one The singing cats you just missed them. We just had the singing cats number two It is Tuesday that means there's a new episode of half the battle with Timmer this time he did his full Review of revenge of Cobra. He did assembled them all into one video He had some personal stuff go on and I won't go into that. It's it's personal But for that reason instead of doing like a new video. He did a compilation. I understand that I totally get that totally cool number two It is Tuesday. Oh And so immediately after this show Is is what's on Joe mind? So what's on Joe mind? They have moved to Tuesday They occur what's on Joe mind occurs Right after this show. Oh, thank you. Joe fan. Sorry. I'm late working late tonight. Well that that's alright But it's appreciated. I'm glad you're here Joe fan 84 Hope all is well. I understand having to work late. I I certainly do speaking of which It looks like I'm going to I'm gonna need to start another work project possibly tomorrow So that's gonna take, you know, a lot of time and energy But I'm also getting the video done that I use was trying to do To go up on last Sunday. So I am so close. I'm this close I'm this close. I'll tell you what's on Joe. What's what's on HTC's mind JLS This is what's on I was this close to getting the whole thing done But I've got one more segment to shoot and then I've got to edit the whole thing together now This video has taken two weeks to do Is it is it good, I don't know will it be a popular video probably not You know, I'm not reviewing something popular. So it's not likely to be a popular Video, but it but I had to finish it, you know, I got to finish this before I can move on to the next one And you know what I had something planned For the for April fools. I had something in mind for April fools had to scrap that Because this video took twice as long as it normally would oh, hello, Mary Ann. Thank you, Mary Ann I will get that video done tomorrow is the day worker. Absolutely. It's getting done. It has to get done I've out no more excuses. I got the one more segment to shoot and We are going to get it done. I do need help with it. Mary Ann is going to help with it. I have to shoot outdoors So I have to do it during the daylight and when the weather isn't bad and the weather has been somewhat crappy lately So I've got this wide a window to do it And I'm gonna do it. Oh, hello, Brett Reese. Nice to see you. How's everybody? It's fine. How are you doing? How are you doing? Joe fan 84 said got the Viper 3 pack yesterday Excuse me And sparkster, he's looking forward to oh Oh, yes, the sparkster just built the armadillo howl whirlwind and dreadnought tricycle a lot of Legos. Yes Actually as as your rather pretentious Lego fans will tell you the plural of Lego is Lego So instead of saying out of Legos You should say out of Lego except I Say Legos and I will continue to say Legos until Lego fans stopped complaining About people saying Legos So which is never Yes, Mary Ann got my back and my face and in the front and the back Yeah, so Well, you'll see we we did we did a lot of work on it today and Really, there's only just the one segment left but yeah, Mary Ann was able to help today get some important things done and She got to throw things at me. So that was fun. Am I going to review the Cobra bug? I am For the full review on this guy like I said this this is really got to be This is really got to be a for a special occasion, right? This is too significant To to just do like on a regular weekly review This is the kind of thing I do save for a special occasion and I have a Specific idea for it. I thank you bad a for the super chat. Just had a thought why hasn't Hasbro tried selling gi Joe Brand and more easy. Hey, that's an interesting idea. I would get that I That's an interesting idea bad a I would get that I would get that. Yes Lego Lego Lego my Legos Lego my Legos Mary Ann says yeah, yes, she had a good time throwing things at me. It was it was a blast A Sparkster says don't care how it's said or done just enjoy building these I hope to share them with everyone here Absolutely absolutely spark sparkster share your Legos Share share your Legos with the world. We are happy to share in your Legos creation He would buy a case a case of yes by a case by a case of these, you know So but this this I I'm although I've seen the Cobra bug many times. I've never actually owned one So so full credit to Chris for helping me with this And I do like that that it talks here Hello hi chat How you doing? I'm Cobra bug But that's not my real name. Nobody calls me by my real name My real name is Kevin. But does anybody say Kevin? No They say bug So yes, it's got a puppet You know, that's not a feature you see on a lot of GI Joe vehicles where it actually has a puppet So that's very clever very clever indeed Eric says you'd buy the MRE. Yes, I I figured that's that you that's probably a smarter because why would you need a Whole case of of Cobra bugs. Yes. That's wise buy a case of the the MRE's that that's much wiser Hello Lone Squith. Nice to see you there I Hope it talks in the video or it might it might you know Kevin might have something to say But now this thing is this thing is great. It's incredibly intricate There is so much here and I am terrified of breaking any part of it But it's got it's got the bubble turret Then I was got the two additional turrets on top It's got this thing which I am not removing right now. It's got this thing this pod Which is also removable and I'm not removing it right now I'm not gonna I've chosen to not break anything on this right after I received it that would not be cool but it also has The two and these were sent separately but the The ski sleds Carefully set it down. I'm carefully really carefully settle setting it down but it has the The sea sled, you know, it's got the And this I didn't notice this before but it has a backpack on it so they Like a diver can use it as like a jet thing through under underwater It's got the tiny little missiles on it. So this is this is really cool So I wanted to bring this on to thank Chris for it It's really awesome, and it's incredibly impressive here now that it's right in front of me But a review I know I believe I know specifically I Believe I know specifically When I want to review it. I'm gonna I think I know exactly what I want to do Hello, somebody came in here. Hello. Hey Cobra Island. Nice to see you. Thank you for being here Hello stone gate creations and anybody else who snuck in without me saying hi. Hello. Thank you for being here It's always a pleasure to have you on On a Tuesday evening I'm gonna put him. I'm gonna put him. He's gonna do some some He's gonna do some water sports here that's You know it's He likes his water sports No judging no judging some people like their water sports not my thing but you know How much does he like his water sports this diving suit was white But but but it's not now because you know He's into that kind of thing so I Had this is the first time I've been able to play around with this There's a foot peg on one side a foot peg on both sides might help The the handles there are just a little too big to fit in the hand And the thing will will collapse if you If you just rest the hands on him so I think that's the best way to do it he can hold it He can do his water sports Yeah, that's cool, that's cool. He's got missiles on it. That's that's this is incredibly intricate and it's really shows I think the The Opulence of the line in the late 80s it it's really incredible What they were doing in gi Joe at that time these vehicles are just enormous now Yes, this is ridiculously big and full of features But they did end up reusing the wheels in fact, I think the wheels got reused a couple times So, you know that so yes, even though even though they They did all this tooling for all this stuff on here. We still got to reuse the wheels. We got to We got to recycle something But but there's there's this is just cool So so thank you Chris and thank you for your long support Chris has been a great supporter of the show and Chris has an excellent show himself Which you probably already know about you you're more likely to be a viewer of Chris's show than my show So you probably already know that And you can check out his Indiegogo of his Vampirella cover So yeah, this it has like a hatch in the back Like everything opens up on it and that's one thing that I think is cool So ah see I knocked the missile off. So this is what I'm trying to not do I knocked two missiles off All right, so anyway Yeah, it's got a it's got a There we go a hatch in the back It's got a hatch in the back Opens up got a little troop compartment there. It's got these hatches on the sides um, it's got Uh another hatch on this side for the for the driver It had missiles on it, but I but I knocked it off Um, and it has these side things where like a uh Uh figure can man the missile launchers or whatever Um, so but you know what I haven't even mentioned what this is supposed to be this is the cobra bug is a Submarine tank That's that's that's how it's built a submarine tank um So, I mean we had several submarines in gi joe but Few of them. In fact, I can only think of one of them That was just a normal submarine You had the shark in 1984 that was a flying submarine Uh, and then you have this from 88 And this is a submarine tank You know, you gotta in cobra you have to have uh multiple functions. You gotta have multiple purposes um The bug yes the bug is a hatchback. Um Uh comic tropes is uh Appreciate the plug drew a cover for emperilla that Uh dynamite has for sale on indigo go for 15 more days. Yes 15 more days. Let's let let's help comic tropes Uh hit like a ridiculously high goal On his cover. I've already bought one Uh, and I hope that everyone else will buy one too um And again by way of thanks here's uh, I wanted to show off the tech the the sector viper He's uh, you know that that's not some damage, you know it The it was produced as yellow that the the suit was manufactured with yellow plastic. I'm just saying in universe The reason that it's yellow is because of the sector viper's particular, you know proclivities, uh, but it has the The bubble helmet that comes off That's frequently missing. This one does not have the pistol, but uh chris said that he is uh, he's getting the pistol so Then the sector viper will be complete. Yeah, I I know what I want to do with this. I know what I want to do with this guy Uh, and I'm really looking forward to it. This is going to be fun. Uh, one thing I like is that, um You know, he's got this Diving suit lots of technical detail, you know diving helmet looks very water tight and secure But you know, he's got to have it still has to have the crotch cover All right, he's still got to have the cod piece Uh, because just because you're underwater Does not mean that you won't get kicked in the balls You know, he could he could encounter, you know, uh, torpedo or wetsuit or deep six underwater They could kick him in the nuts So he he's prepared, you know Uh, he is ready ready for for any contingency Uh, so he got ready for the underwater hand to hand Or uh, or or foot to crotch combat that he is ready. So I but I like that preparedness. I I appreciate that. Um Michael Mitchell says need the petition has lab for cobra heavy lift helicopter that was never produced I've always wanted that helicopter I would love to see that helicopter It's probably not possible to do it in classified scale But the the sky striker was in the three and three quarter inch scale so If we could get A transport helicopter like we never had before In the three and three quarter inch scale. I think a lot of people would be pretty jazzed about that Uh, hey, it's codename new two vera two. Uh, hi new two vera two. Um, I believe he was in at toy lanta recently I hope that was fun And uh, I hope hope some other folks were able to make it there too. I was not able to make it out But uh, but I hope everybody had a good time um Will says he wants a classified scale bug So so this This But large enough To accommodate figures this size. I think that's reasonable. Why not? Um, and gaihou is a marine so he would attack this thing, you know, this that could work I think I see no problem with that whatsoever um But yes, um Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm just really trying to be careful with The large vehicle that's sitting next to me and I just really don't want to don't do not want to accidentally break it um Codename new two vera two says joe fest next absolutely Speaking of which, uh, marianne is going with me to joe fest. So for those of you who have not been able to Interact with her directly. Um, she should be there. So, you know, come and hang out with us um They're called the aspid in the idw run of real american hero. Yeah, the the aspid Um, the it the thing was I'm not sure exactly what the first issue was that it appeared in But the design was more or less consistent throughout the whole Run, I mean that there was modifications, you know, it but for the most part the overall design was consistent Oh, thank you comic troke. I heard larry hama got added to joe fest. Yes larry hama is is Going to joe fest larry hama will be at joe fest. So also will sergeant slaughter sergeant slaughter is confirmed But you know who's not confirmed uh ron rudat To my knowledge ron rudat has not been invited this year and I think that's a shame I've gotten to really enjoy Seeing and and talking with ron rudat when he is there. He's a very nice guy. Just a really sweet person um, so I don't I'm not getting a table I'm not getting a table this year, but if I were getting a table I would I would see about getting ron Out there and putting him at my table. I would I would do that. It's too late now because I didn't know that that was I didn't know that that was going to be necessary But I would really love to see ron out there Somebody bring ron bring ron. He loves coming and people love seeing them um, uh, georgia comic trope says did somebody ask where it was? Yes, uh comic uh Oh, uh, ismail says hi from argentina. Hello, argentina from the united states. Uh, love to see new benjamin. Thank you very much I'm working on it. I'm working on the the video that's taken two weeks Is almost done so yes, uh joe fest is in august of georgia. It is in june. Let me refresh my memory on uh It is uh, june 9th through the 11th june 9th through the 11th august of georgia. I will be there I was there last year. I will be there this year um Eric says htc got engine from I do I did get engines for the plane in fact I showed off the sky striker a couple um Well, maybe three live streams ago I do still have it and I do do still want to get um get it in front of a an hd camera, but that That segues to one thing that I that I need to Express it's a personal thing. I don't like to do too much personal stuff here, but it is it's a reality And it's affecting, you know the channel and that is like I'm really struggling with my energy levels right now like I I have have been unable to work at the The volume and the pace that I once did that I once did with ease right So I am putting out the maximum Content that I am able to right now um, but my batteries just have been wearing out way Uh quicker than they used to so I don't know what's up with that, but uh, but I do apologize for Uh, not having some content that I that I intend to have I I'm gonna get to everything I will get to everything, but my goodness. I just I I Uh, no matter what I try. I just cannot put out the same volume that I used to so Like, uh, I've been working on this Review for a couple weeks now. It's almost done But it's a review that should have just taken one week Um, I can still finish a regular review in in a week Right. I can still do that Um, but I also used to do classified reviews on fridays in addition to this live stream on tuesdays Sometimes I toss something up on a wednesday Um, you know, I I used to produce a lot more And man, I just I I just don't have the energy that I once did it's something that I'm trying to work on But just fyi fyi seasonable. I don't know if it's seasonable lose. I'm not really sure But uh, but it's frustrating Because the will is still there You know, I still greatly desire to get this stuff out and to make videos and to get things done and I just I can't I I wear down So anyway, it's It's a thing. It's a thing So, uh, so I guess what I would ask is everybody's patience Um, because I truly am Producing 100 of the content that I'm able to right now But I would really like to get back to the stuff like and that's not it's not just about content Um cobra convergence cobra convergence needs work. It's it's gotta get some work done You know, I need I need to work on that. I really need to work on that I'm but I'm gassed. I'm just gassed out and uh Uh, oh, I posted a while back that I was going to open up sketch commissions So that you could buy a sketch and I could use that for joe fest money I I haven't done that yet either. Man. I'm I'm just really Um, thank you draws. I really do appreciate it. Um, Don't I will I promise not the main line energy drinks Um, uh Yes, we are all yes, that that's the thing See, this is what I think if I go to a doctor and explain the problem and he'll diagnose me and say well You're you're old that that's your problem. You're just old. Have you have you seen your date of birth? That's the that's what gave gave it away. I looked at your date of birth I knew exactly what your issue was old man Sorry, there's no cure for it oldy um, but uh, yeah, it's um Comic trope says have you ever brought a Hama sketch. Yes, I have I have Do I have one or two? I think I have one Hama sketch. I don't think I got a second one I got a stalker and I still have it Obviously, I'm not getting rid of it. Um, but I um, I wanted to also get the the hooded version of cobra commander Obviously because of the name of the channel But I have not got around to that but I did get a stalker. It was really good. It was a really good one um I wonder if hasbro pulse will be at joe fest I don't think they usually go to joe fest because it's unofficial and I think they don't want to officially endorse the the convention because You know, they're nobody's paying a license fee for that and that might might Be seen as an official endorsement. So I don't think they will be there at least not officially at least not officially but But there will be lots of panels from lots of people Um, and since I won't have a table, I'll be able to go to all of the stuff I'll be more free To wander around go to the panels go hang out with people Something that it's not so easy for me to do when I'm when I've got a table and I'm supposed to be there um So I assume that that karson from three joes will have a panel Uh, that's one to not miss Um, I assume that joe declassified will have a panel. That's definitely one to not miss You know, uh This stuff is great and and I love going to it. I love seeing those things. So um Maybe it's your t levels. Uh, what is your t level? I think my my t level is um I my t level is about at time out. That's this. That's what this is time out time Time that's what my t levels are doing. My t levels are like time uh By it's something about viagra Uh, uh, michael and eric are talking about viagra. Um, yeah, maybe that's it. Maybe I just need viagra That's what it does, right? Just it it peps you up in a way Yeah Um, anyway, anyway, but anyway, that's that's the thing that I just wanted to share that I I'm I'm getting to things As quickly as I can I don't want to dive too much into anything personal because this that's not what this is about This is a gi joe channel We only talk about gi joe here. We don't we do not talk about any personal issues Uh, including my hemorrhoids. I will not even mention my hemorrhoids We do not talk about any any other toy lines So I I will not even show you I will not even show you the stargate Wing glider that I got I won't even show this to you You will not even see it because this Is a gi joe and or cobra Focused channel. That's that's it We we don't even believe anything else Has anybody ever actually even confirmed that other toy lines exist empirically I mean has anybody even actually seen a he-man? huh I'm not so sure I demand proof But you know what we can confirm beyond any doubt is that gi joe toys exist in plastic because i'm holding one right now Look, i'm holding a gi joe action figure. Therefore it exists. Am I holding a he-man action figure? No Therefore, I think he-man does not exist It's the only toy line that ever existed. Nobody's ever played with anything else Um, uh one. Yeah, what exactly what other toy lines? We only talk about gi joe here. That's it. Nothing. Um, is the glider 118 scale. Um, yeah, it's well the um The uh the figures for stargate for this line Are um are pretty close to 118 scale, but they're wider. They're wider than gi joe figures So this should fit the stargate line of figures But we've already established that these vehicles don't fit gi joe very well At least not without some you need to Keep it in so you didn't need some way to to hold it in But it's roughly roughly gi joe scale Uh, not exactly so, um Yeah, he's got like a He's got like a a turkey head See is this how is this how the ancient egyptians the space egyptians celebrate Thanksgiving? They put turkeys on their heads Anyway, and also a really great job breathing in space Um, and I he doesn't like he doesn't he's not wearing a spacesuit. He's he's got he's got no shirt on As far as I know there aren't any space spacesuits Where you go shirtless? Uh, but but still they're really impressive. Um, actually, you know, they're Even in toy lines that are in generally in general not very good There's usually At least one item that is really cool and you know is desired by collectors This is definitely that for the stargate line Absolutely. Um, oh and by the way, this hasbro stargate line Um, it included the the gi joe vehicle that did not appear in the movie You know what it did not include A stargate It did not the stargate line No stargate geniuses great job hasbro of the mid 90s. Great job. You nailed it You you managed to create the toy line With absolute minimal effort great job Um Why am I playing with marianne's toy marianne has different toys for different purposes? That's not that's not hers She's got a wharf. She's got two wharves. She she has toys She has action figures, I should say, but um, that's that's not it. It's it's not that's it's she's she likes She likes wharf. She likes wharf so much. She got two wharves Share same shame hasbro didn't release a new mask line that fits the jovers. I think that um Yeah, Seinfeld in trouble the the the mask line I Hasbro does does have they own that now and they They released a matte tracker some years ago But I think the feeling is that A mask toy line would Compete with gi joe rather than compliment it So For that reason, I think it's hard to get a mask a mask re Um Rebirth a mask resurgence a a return of mask a return of the mask if you if you will Uh, worth. Yes, worth son of mode um Because I think because of gi joe and I I'm no market scientist I can't say if they're right about that or not, but I I think the thinking is That it It would compete with existing brands Um I don't know. I really I don't know Would it I I have no idea But I mean There's no legal barrier. They could do it. They could do it. Maybe for some special occasion. They will do it um Zim Zams asks if we're talking mask. No, we're not talking mask We don't we only talk about one toy line here and that is gi joe No other toy lines exist All the only things that exists are are things like like this this cobra bug. That's from gi joe And and this cobra secto viper That's from gi joe and it's and it's uh this gung ho retro That's from gi. Look it even says gi joe on it. That's the only thing we talk about I don't even know about any other toy lines In fact, I don't know anything about toys, you know in general It's the only toy I know about I'm pretty sure it's the only toy that existed Like look look I'm holding a gung ho it is solid it exists in three dimensions. It is tangible And I ask you Where are the transformers, huh? I'm not touching a transformer transformers don't appear to exist in three dimensions Therefore gi joe is the only toy line that exists. Thank you cobra island for the super chat My battle of the sub team starts next tuesday hcc. All right. Check out Uh cobra island's battle of the sub teams It is kind of apropos because the the thing that i'm working on Is from a sub team. It's uh It's a whole thing um Uh reyman no need to apologize No need to apologize. Just glad you're here. Glad you're here Um, I used to attach the submarine part of the bug as a kid. I mean, um, I take it into the bathtub. Yeah, I know that a lot of Now think about this This may be a little bit disturbing a lot of these water-based toys Uh, a lot of these water-based toys would have uh, would have been played with in the bathtub um with children who were Taking a bath at the time um It's a little bit just i hopefully they've been cleaned Hopefully they've been sanitized That's all i'm saying Um, but yes that the water-based toys. That's that's a thing that you do um Kevin do you have anything to say about that? No Okay. Yeah, kevin doesn't want to talk. Anyway, so um Rob is looking forward to the uh the sub team showdown um Battle force 2000 was a great set had all of them, but the jet um With the orb turret. Yeah the um Oh, man, why am I blanking on that? Yeah, I did I reviewed all of the battle force 2000 figures and vehicles um That was a while ago and now i'm blanking The vector the vector jet. Thank you. Good grief. You cannot rely on my memory for anything um Water probably screws the stickers stickers um possibly so but these are vinyl stickers so in theory they should be fairly robust with water now in For vehicles from the 90s Um, they switched from the vinyl stickers to the paper stickers um That bug was floating in in a tepid pool of someone else's filth Yeah, you know this and as a collector I'm thrilled to get it now. Um What was I saying so, um Uh, I don't know what whatever. Oh, yeah stickers stickers. Um in the 90s. They switched to paper stickers um Not only did they switch to paper stickers. They also had Vehicles and figures with water shooting gimmicks And that seems like it's not going to be a good combination with paper stickers The vinyl stickers I think were fairly robust. Um, I think a lot of the the paper stickers have held up But I think they've mainly held up because they're not as old Um, how well will they hold up after you know another decade or so? Uh of wear But uh, but it does seem strange to me that We're switching to paper stickers even on water vehicles even on vehicles where you're supposed to spray water on them um An unusual choice unusual, uh nyquist says smell it. Um No I'll I'll save that I'll save that. Hey, I'll save that for the review Yeah, that's that that's why you need to tune in for the review to see how it how it smells Yeah, but think think about where your your your, uh, gi joes shark submarines And your barracudas think about where they may have been Oh, we were all kids, right? You know, that's this It's just something when you're little you do, you know when you're taking a bath You know um, and now adults collect those toys and display them and You know, it's so that look let's talk about something else. Let's talk about something else. Yeah, it smells like teen spirit Let's talk about something else. Um, what the heck else can we talk about anything anything? So, um This This is the the item from the stargate line that I think even like if you're not interested in the line itself You probably still want to get a hold of if you if you're just a general toy collector Um, this thing is not a copy of a gi joe anything Um, this seems to be totally tooled new like total new tooling Um, at least as far as I can tell I haven't opened it yet. Um But every toy line seems to have at least one thing for instance Uh, sergeant savage the sergeant savage toy line somewhat maligned Since it came out, but The p40 warhawk the the airplane from that line I think is most people think is still really cool And if you're not if you're gonna get anything from that line, it's it's the warhawk that you probably want to Uh want to get Rub it up bug Hgc 788 with his toys and stuff. You know what that is I I cannot include that in the video because I will definitely get demonetized So I cannot play With the toys in the bathtub. I cannot recreate those moments from childhood Um, because because youtube will not let me So yeah, you know, anyway, uh Uh Yes, uh Yes, uh, uh future fortress maxima says uh the battle force 2000 drivers did not come with their vehicles, but why the my only guess Is so that has broken milk a few extra bucks Um out of the kids, they probably made a few pennies more By selling the figures separate from the vehicles rather than including them with the vehicles I have to assume um It may have had something to do with item count Because if you recall like the first wave of battle force 2000 figures were on two packs They they were it was there were two packs two figures per card and not with a vehicle um, so Uh, I don't know. They may there may have been something it may have had something to do with them trying to Hit a certain number of items For the year I'm not really sure But uh, but it's something i'm not a fan of I that's something that star wars did If you remember star wars the the kenner star wars is that the the pilots were always sold separately from the vehicles Uh, and what inevitably happened at least for me Is you'd have the pilot But not the spaceship So you get you have like a Uh twin pod cloud car pilot That doesn't has nothing to fly so he can just stand there He gets to stand in the background Because he doesn't have a spaceship because as a kid I didn't you know, I didn't have every spaceship So so what do you do when you get a pilot? And you know, you don't you know as a kid you don't always get to pick out your own toys You you have birthdays you have Christmases you have Aunt edna buying, you know, whatever she finds at kmart And she doesn't know what you have and what you don't have She just knows you like the star wars So she gets you the Your 18th ugnaut, you know, so you got a whole army of ugnots or or she'll get the The I don't know the a wing fighter And you got you got no toy with it, you know got no no vehicle with it Um, I'm not a fan of that practice not a fan not a fan Um, and so that's uh, that's to me has also been a bit of a knock against the battle force 2000 line Although I do Think I do like most of the years. I think most of the figures are really well designed Really well sculpted. Uh, they have a lot of color a lot of detail It looks like its own toy line Right, it looks it looks like it doesn't need to be associated with gi joe at all it looks like its own toy line and uh when we were kids at least me and my brother and sam Uh, we did have some battle force 2000, but we kind of play play with them separately We didn't really mingle them with gi joe that much because they didn't seem to fit You know, they didn't fit well with gi joe, but they did fit well together You know, if they they did make kind of a cohesive unit Uh, it's and that that worked that worked um, but um Anyway, yeah, I I'm not a fan of the practice of selling vehicle drivers Um separate from the vehicles Uh, if if the vehicle has a driver then then stick the driver with him if he if he doesn't then then don't Um, oh wait, they did this also with With a few other like 90s um Figures, I believe mega marines clutch Was supposed to be the driver of the Of the monster blaster and he and he was sold separately Um, so yeah, no not a not. I'm not a fan of the practice I'm not a fan of the practice And I think it's okay. If a vehicle does not come with a driver That's all right, you know, you can you can put any action figure you want in it Anybody drives it. Okay fine fine fine fine But if you're going to specifically have a specific driver for that specific vehicle then He needs to come with the vehicle Don't make me go out and find it And have to buy it separately to have the driver um, but anyway, um Uh, it's uh Raymond says feeling down can I get your encouragement to uh, film my replacement sky striker unboxing Raymond Film your replacement sky striker unboxing. This is important, especially if you can do it like um You know like an actual video rather than Like what i'm doing On on a live stream because I I did unbox mine on the live stream, but People would like to see what's in the box Um, so I think you need to give the people what they want I haven't been able to do like a full review Of the sky striker so you will jump the gun on me. You will be ahead of the game So this is my encouragement Go go for it get the camera out Crank it up. This is what you do with cameras, right? The that's how you work a camera Something like that crank it up And shoot that sky striker Uh forgo gimmicks and include the driver instead. I I agree victor. Um, the gimmicks 90s became a lot about the gimmicks and gimmicks aren't always bad But when they limit play rather than expand play then um Then I'd rather just not have them uh Lobotomax needed his own vehicle. Well, he was from space um And what did they have like cobra had the the invader Um, which he would not fit in there's no way he would fit in the invader So how does he get how does he get from outer space? To earth without a spaceship Um, I this is how He swims he has to swim really really far And thank you Raymond. Thank you Um, what about the detonator? Uh, necro asked something about the detonator um Something about the detonator, um, I don't have the detonator. I do want to get the detonator my My recollection off the top of my head is that the driver for the detonator Um, is the only vintage figured that did not include a file card There was a later file card that was issued Or I think it was fan made and that was kind of just adopted as a semi official file card. Um Could you use the bug in space? um Yeah, obviously I mean it had look it has Bubbles it has clear bubbles therefore it is probably mainly a spacecraft And that's probably its main purpose Is to go to space I mean look at that Would you drive that around on earth? I wouldn't but would you drive this around in space? Then you'd be pretty stylish Come up on the millennium falcon. We like hey, hon. Take this And then like blow up the millennium falcon and Chewbacca is in a bunch of Chewbitties you make Chewbitties out of Chewbacca Um, I apologize Star Wars fans for saying that about the Star Wars except I don't really apologize Star Wars fans Chewbacca boom um, yeah, so um Rob says he's got to run. Okay, Rob. Get your exercise. Thank you for being here Uh, but Rob's gonna go run now. Good. Have a great afternoon. Get get your running in get your steps in Uh, looks like Homer Simpson designed it. Yeah, um, it is it is interesting, isn't it? It's it's very asymmetrical And um, I've I've got to like I've got to talk a lot about the design because wow um because they're like We're gonna put a bubble on this side I I I'm sorry. I kind of groped that bubble. I apologize I'm sorry. Um, I kind of put a bubble on this side where the bubble goes on this side. What are we gonna put on the other side? Two bubbles. Yes Uh on the top on the top we need another bubble Um, so yeah that this is it's an eclectic design Now it is it is First of all, it's huge. It's very large um, and second of all it is Loaded with features. There is a ton Of features all over this thing. It is a great value and it has tons of play value for kids. It's incredible Um, the the design is wacky though. I mean, but that that's cobra for you. That's cobra for you Cobra had some wacky designs Somebody was asking earlier about the the weirdest vehicles Uh cobra is gonna have most of those if you were to make a top 10 Of weirdest vehicles cobra would have most of them um So, uh, yeah a trouble bubble You know what it would have been cool. So if you could if if you could dock a trouble bubble on this But a trouble bubble is for the air. This is a submarine tank. It is a submarine Tank it's got wheels, you know, you know like a tank, you know how tanks have wheels Um, it is a submarine tank Uh, but you know what? You can pick it up. You could make it fly. So now it's a flying tank And if it's a flying tank, you know, you could you could dock a trouble bubble on here and have yet another bubble Yet another bubble on this thing Um, so oh my goodness. Oh, I just realized it's eight o'clock. It's time for what's on your mind. I didn't realize I went over Forgot to get this and we'll get to this next week. Uh, thank you everybody for showing up I'm gonna let everybody, uh, skip over to what's on your mind.
