 Hello everybody HoodedCoverCommander788 here. It's time for another donation unboxing video where I show you everything that I received from you guys, from the viewers in the month of August 2019. Thanks to everyone who sent stuff in. I want to remind everyone that you do not have to send anything to me I do not ask for donations and you should never feel obligated to send anything to the channel I'm happy just having you here and watching the videos and enjoying G.I. Joe with me For those who feel like they want to send something to the channel and have it featured in a video like this I do have a PO box that will be on your screen now. This month I got one two three four four packages from you guys and one of them is International so that will be exciting. I think I know what some of this stuff is because sometimes people will tell me or give me a hint at about about what they're going to send before they send it But there will definitely be some surprises in here I'm going to start with this one because I received it first. This is from Byron Kellogg. Byron is a long-time friend of the channel He's a great friend of mine and Occasionally he sends some really cool stuff. So Let's see what Byron sent. I've already cut all these boxes open just to make it easier to pull them out on camera So, let's see. Let's see what Byron sent and right on top. I can see there is a letter Let's see what Byron writes Oh, I don't have my glasses handy. So let's see if I can read. Oh, I can read this. This is okay This says hey you B. That's me I sculpted this statue of you to commemorate Cobra Convergence 4. I guess that's what it is As a way to thank you for inviting me to join in the fun Thank You Byron. I look forward to your show every Sunday. I can't write to see or I'm sorry I can't wait to see what Zany idea you come up with for Cobra Convergence 5 and that's signed Byron Thank You Byron Cobra Convergence 4 was a lot of fun I hope everyone had fun with it and so apparently this is going to be a statue It is packed very well with lots of bubble wrap. I was wondering why it's a heavy box I was wondering why it was so heavy and It looks like Okay, and then okay. All right Byron I'm going to apologize in advance for what you're about to see. It's not your fault. I don't believe I believe this is the fault of the US Postal Service but Yeah, it's Unfortunately the statue which is a hooded Cobra Commander seems to have broken in shipping and And and there's his face. I I'm sorry Byron. Maybe I can glue it. I'll try to fix it But it's a really cool idea It has It has a signature on here and it has like HCC 788 and CC IV 9. I'm sorry 7 of 19 and And it'd be really cool, but it broke I'm very sorry Byron. It's very thoughtful and I really appreciate it I really appreciate you taking the time to create something. It's extremely thoughtful and It yeah, there there are still some bits Here in here. I will see if I can fix it. Okay. Well, that was both a good and a bad start It was a good start because it was a very thoughtful gift that Byron created himself But it was bad because it unfortunately arrived broken. So Let's move on to this which is our international package This is from Oscar and Oscar is from Sweden And so thank you Oscar for this. He did send me an email I think I know at least one thing that's in here and that'll be a really cool surprise for you He did want me to say nice things about Sweden and honestly I can't even think of anything bad to say about Sweden everything I've heard about Sweden is great Seems like a really great place to live and I would love to visit some some days Greetings Sweden from the United States and thank you for this and so let's open it up and see what's in it Okay, and upon opening it up. It looks like maybe I should have opened it sooner because That we have We have candy He sent some treats from from Sweden. Oh, this is cool. You know what this means. Oh, there's more You know what this means It means we get to do a taste test and I'm totally doing a taste test in this video and And I don't care what anybody says about it We're doing a taste test of Swedish candy in this video as soon as I'm done here Okay, so here is here are the actual GI Joe's Oh and more so there there are actual GI Joe's action figures in here and here's more candy. So That looks quite amusing. I'm gonna try all of this. I'm gonna try this I'm gonna open these first and then we get to have a unplanned taste testing of some Swedish candy. Okay, so I'll start with this little one first It seems like these were packaged and packed with Sewing thread it looks like Which turns out to I guess be a pretty good packing material These seem to be packed really solidly. Oh, I guess I should have started with the With the big one first because this is accessory. That's accessory. So let's start or let's move on to this Because yeah, it looks like those accessories go with these guys so let's carefully remove our thread and I'll just go ahead and show you the one The one that I was I thought was gonna be in here. Yeah So you European GI Joe slash action Force fans will enjoy this one. This is Tiger Force Psyc out This is a figure that was not available in the United States. I want to open this carefully And take it out of the very tight wrapping. This is definitely secure. It's definitely secure Let me take this off really quick as American GI Joe fans will note Psyc out was not released in the United States in the Tiger Force line But he was released in Europe. So this is a European exclusive figure Even though I don't actively collect international figures. I still kind of Enjoy having them And it gives me an opportunity to like compare and contrast with the American releases But I mean that the colors are wild. I mean, that's definitely Tiger Force colors There he is so Tiger Force Psyc out the European exclusive figure. Thank you for that Oscar This is special. This is not something that I normally would have acquired And thanks to Oscar for sending it to me. Okay. I was just taking a minute to take these figures out of the plastic wrapping They were very Nicely packed And so I'll show you which figures we got I believe I mean the rest of these figures were available in the United States But I'm very curious about If there are any differences at all between the US releases and the European releases. So I mean we have airtight We're all familiar with airtight Don't Google his name. That's a bad idea, but there's airtight There is Alpine Big fan of Alpine have not reviewed Alpine yet, but I Sincerely like the figure Here's a classic Duke There's a classic figure that we all know and love So it's nice to see Duke and so I'm looking forward to Putting these guys side-by-side with the American versions and just seeing what the differences are if any There's hardball Also like hardball I've always curious been curious about how like Baseball themed figure would be perceived in Europe Baseball is popular in some parts of the world besides the United States, but It's mainly popular in the United States so how does a European kid in the 80s Perceive a baseball themed figure. That's that's one thing. I'm curious about there's Tiger Force Tripwire and Budo who Needs a new o-ring. He's all there Budo is all there, but I I just need to replace his o-ring Which reminds me I've had to replace a lot of o-rings lately and so I'm almost out So I need to get more o-rings And that's all for the figures, but there are lots of accessories, you know tripwires Mine detector looks like we have a machine gun for Tiger Force Roadblock Tiger Force Roadblock is not in here But I have Tiger Force Roadblock. So that's cool. And that's what this was its Accessories for all those figures. There's hardballs backpack and Tiger Force or condos backpack and Budo's accessories and a little bit of Tiger Force psych out accessories is a little Little radar dish thing there And yeah, well that's a mainframe computer. Oh, it looks like Submachine gun for Duke. So this is awesome. I am really thrilled about this. Thank you for this Oscar This is exciting to me. I Definitely would not have gotten these figures otherwise. I definitely would not have gotten the Tiger Force psych out figure otherwise. So this is this is something that really does Make a difference to me. So thank you, but you know what time it is now It's time to try these out. Okay, let's do a candy a taste test and Let's start with the blue one Which looks like it's got and blend that original I am not gonna pretend. I know how to pronounce these words, but it's the blue one with the fruit space Let's try it now, shall we? Oh, there's a notch. There's a notch to open it like so And let's get in there There's an orangey one, let's see what the orange one is. It's orange. It's orange. What else we got? We got a red one It's in the shape of a fish. It's a Swedish fish Oh, that's not bad That's not bad. I should probably slow down, but that's really casey We've got a yellow one We're not really sure what that shape is. It's kind of square. Yeah, I think that's a lemon No, these are good. I approve of these Got and blend that original These are tasty Really good fruit flavors. Those are good. These are Algren's billar. I don't know what that is. It's something original It's the yellow one. It's the yellow one with the red stripes called billar We have a notch to tear it open No, okay. All right, let's try these out. These are What are those? It's like in the shape of oh a little cars. Look, it's a little cars with little drivers. Is that what they are? Anyway, they're in the shapes that look like Look like sort of like little monopoly cars We got some red ones and some green ones and some pink ones. So let's try let's try um, Let's try a white one here. Oh That's different That's chewy It's not a strong flavor, but that's okay with me It's it's sweet. It's it's sugary I'm trying to think of what we have in the United States to compare it to but Nothing's really coming to mind. It's good though Yeah, I could eat these Look at the green one. I think they're all the same flavor though. I haven't identified a different flavor for each one but No, these are good these billar the yellow one With these what looks like little car shapes or maybe they're submarines. I don't know But good good stuff This one. I'll also have to share. Okay, and finally we have the other yellow one and it's it's the one that has a Cartoon monkey making love to an ape It's a surprisingly risque package But yeah, the monkey is obviously very happy But this looks to be like In the shape of little gorillas There's a notch here on the side that I'm supposed to be able to Oh, there we go alright This one's making me a little bit nervous mainly because of the packaging I I I'm not sure what shape that's supposed to be it is that supposed to be the the ape I think so Doesn't a hundred percent come through though. It's an odd shape and it's black It has what looks like a sugar coating on it. So Here we go. Oh Wow That is a strong flavor Not sweet It's bitter. It's a very bitter. Okay, so Yeah, this is one that you throw in just to see if I'll I'll actually eat it, huh? I have to say this probably isn't my favorite. It's surprisingly bitter It is not sweet at all But apparently that cartoon monkey really likes it But thank you again Oscar for the candy and the figures that was really awesome first time I've ever received anything from Sweden. So thank you Sweden and thank you Oscar And yeah, at least two of those three candies I will definitely continue eating them Maybe I'll share them with the rest of the family if they're lucky the next box is from Dave Dave Domenico and I've already cut the tape so I can pop it open And we have a letter we have a letter on top And the letter says I had sent you a scrap iron figure minus a letter a few months ago I remember the scrap iron figure I do I'm a fan of your channel. I had been collecting Joe since 1986 Had this Bushida figure from 94s shadow ninjas subset This figure is quite unique as it changes color when you expose it to cold water. Yes, the shadow ninjas From 94 yes, not sure if you have this in your collection. I don't think I did I don't think I did So please just use this be Bushido to do an eventual review if you want best wishes Dave Thank you Dave. I do have several shadow ninjas figures, but I don't think I have Bushido so I guess we know what it's going to be. So let's open this up and Okay, we have a clear figure stand along with all of the translucent accessories that came with the shadow ninjas figures Because the accessories had in viso power too So yeah Alright, check this out. This is I mean you guys I hope you've seen the The shadow ninjas snake eyes review. So you have some idea of how these work but These shadow ninjas figures were in this color change plastic and You put it in Either cold or warm water to make it change colors. It would have like a more normal color And then I think it's cold water. I think cold water changes it into this kind of milky white color It's a unique gimmick it is It's but it is definitely a gimmick So I guess if if you really like that kind of thing you will really like these figures But yeah, it looks like it has the accessories too and this Absolutely helps me Help helps me fill a gap in the collection Helps me get closer to reviewing this figure. I will probably review the Ninja Force version of Bushido first Because I usually try to Review the first version of a figure before I do subsequent versions So I really need to get to the Ninja Force figure first, but this Will help and you know eventually I will review it eventually I will review everything. So this absolutely will help with a future review. Thank you very much Dave I will remind everyone that letters like what I got from Byron and from Dave I am keeping these all of these are kept none of them are thrown away And this is the last one.
