Um, so, um And also poli please forgive my Internet connection if it gets herky jerky. We tried to play around with that before we started to, uh, try to get it as smooth as possible um Yeah, I think I think you probably look good to them. I think it's just like trying to process me I'm a little glitchy. Hopefully you guys can at least hear me At least for me, the audio is coming through pretty well. So hopefully that will continue um, and I will uh, I want to say right off the bat, uh, chris, uh, does, uh, a show on youtube called comic tropes You've probably heard of it. Um And I wanted to say I wanted to embarrass chris right off the bat by saying The first time I encountered your channel was when you uh hit 300 subscribers and I won a contest. That was pretty special Um, oh, yeah, was it really 300? 300 subscribers, uh, and uh, yeah I want to I want a thing which is so I've already got my kick back. I'm good. Um That's all Yeah That's a long time ago I wanted to to say I'm I'm really proud of you and your success. It's it's very well deserved and I Back then I thought Uh, you could really have a wide reach and and you have so uh, congratulations I know that it is a hell of a lot of work. I understand but Um, but you've gotten some success and I'm I'm happy to see you Thanks, man. Yeah, I talk about comics So I was at new york comic con and that's why I'm here Uh, because I attended the adjunct universe panel Uh, that isn't it here? that's that yes, um And uh, uh, yeah, so let's let's talk about that. Um, you you were at new york comic con And some news has come out of there um So, I mean just kind of set the stage for us as far as your experience at new york comic con and just how How that went and just the the overall general environment Uh, well, I I've gone to new york comic con since it began which was like either 2009 Maybe it was it. I anyway It's been going on quite a while now and it's a big convention just just to Let people know. I mean it is in terms of it. It it actually Has a few more than san diego comic con The devets down Manhattan is a is a massive convention center that's only grown Um, they've sort of built in I guess you could call it an annex. So it's all very well connected. Like it looks like it's all one thing Several like about five stories tall on on one end of it and um floor four is very big. They've got most of the I went to the energy on universe which was basically, you know, just a bunch of the people from um Robert Kirkman His skybound entertainment including him as first Starting on saturday the busiest um, yeah, that was fun I Diana davis, uh, who a lot of us know she's you know, the continuity expert everything She was like, I'm really curious to see what what actually gets revealed And I like that there was no one else that was like responding or anything Um, and so I felt like it was it was my responsibility To go since you she really wanted somebody to go Yeah, and I I did twist here. I put you on the spot. I I admit that but uh I'm but I'm basically shameless Uh, there you go. Uh jls one, uh, comics wonder how did chris get the duke and cobra commander ash cans? Look at that. That's a nice artwork. I like that. Yeah, that's tom riley. Tom riley is a really good artist, uh, and Then person drawing, uh The comic come now. We'll explain it all. Uh, there's going to be a duke and a cober commander comic cober commander Andrea Milana, I don't really know Andrea Milana. I can show some pages basically by attending the the panel um They uh, they gave you this ash several black and white pages No dialogue just give you an idea of Uh, what's coming i'm i think that they've even black doubts. Yeah, so there's there's some panels that they actually acted But they've got some nice Commu on you know, like what the writer josh williamson wants to do Uh, and the thoughts of the artists tom riley And andrea milana and it was also just interesting to what they're doing Uh, because this is rebooted continuity Um, and they're gonna do like two books initially And then i'm i'm assuming at a certain point it will sort of become gi joe, but but for now we've got duke coming in Uh, I believe november and cobra commander in g anywhere Months and months and with that I think I'll pop up the the pictures that you shared because you got a couple pictures from panel And you can kind of tell us um What we're seeing here. This is um This I guess is the the joe team that they're starting out with That is the initial joe team. Uh, and I think that the in this chat can probably who's uh, but There there's been a slight revisions. I can they're also going off of the look of the classified Uh figures generally, uh, although this is technically duke before he really joins gi joe So like he his outfit will eventually like mirror that action figure even more In the back of the ash can artist tom riley says he was trying to make sure that there were at least some of the Iconic elements you expect out of duke like the yellow shirt and the bandolier. Yeah Um, and and that's hawk on the on the left. I believe people could guess. I'm pretty sure that that is Colonel hawk in this version not general hawk about a hundred percent But I believe they're starting him off at colonel the original larry homo comics And the and we can at least see that they've decided to give him Parker here Um, and visually they differentiated him a little from how they you know originally they they drew hawk So much like duke. It was It's our part um stalker. So I'm sure you're happy about that always Worth noting we're not starting with some of the uh They expect like And But barenice And they didn't really explain that yet that that's of course something that that we'll get to understand uh in the first View baren is part of this team for some reason. I don't trust her Yeah, that that's very interesting. Uh, uh folks have noticed the audio was cutting in and out. So sorry about that My thing, uh, but I I was still able to to pick up, you know, everything that you were saying So I could I I I could understand you and I hope that we can get that cleared up Um, but uh, yes the barenice. That's a very intriguing choice I am absolutely fine with them representing hawk as older. I mean that's very Uh distinct from duke and I think that's absolutely fine Uh, but at least in this reveal here You know no snake eyes no scarlet, you know what? Uh, when and will they, um, enter the story that's that's very intriguing Hey, I have to feel that I mean I have to believe that they will But if um anybody out there has picked up the first issue, uh Transformers which is also, you know in this continuity and I thought I had that here I believe I have a picture of it in a slide this one Yeah On issue two which is coming out in a couple weeks Uh, that's going to feature duke that they they explained. So that's where like this whole sort of crossover starts Um, the writer joshwell williamson said Duke is is going to basically be, you know, the best the best, uh, you know, the the u.s military can offer You know, he's a normal guy, but he's a he's a super soldier my um I'm kind of frozen, but can you hear me? Okay. I can hear you. All right But encountering a transforming robot, you know an alien Is going to really upend his world and he's going to have some real trouble reckoning with This changing his whole world outlook And that's going to be some of the impetus for needing to potentially form a gi joe team Okay. Okay. I I mean, uh, I'm very intrigued. Um, as as I've noted before, I'm always a little bit dubious about crossovers between gi joe and transformers But I am of course, I'm happy to give this a chance. I want it to do well and I want it to be good So, um, this is something to look forward to and I sincerely hope that it's successful and it turns out to be something that That really catches on You know, I think that like There's a couple things that that could make this good. First of all, they've hired some really top tier talent uh, joe williams Guy and written of big stuff See That he'd image called duck Hang on the audio is cutting out more and so i'm gonna try taking this out of the way and see if that helps I'm sorry carry on I feel bad And feel hope there's stuff just to know them while i'm talking. That's not distracting, but um Uh Stuff recently as well as a horror comic called dark ride that i've been on my own Me as some he's trying to do some things But I can't tell you this because I talked to him Throughout me if i'm breaking up too bad You're doing a little bit better. It was a little rough for a second, but but you seem to be doing a little better I'm talking to josh tulips and after the I had to talk and and we Got on really nice and I said, you know, I'm I'm glad that larry is is Still got that that's new to me josh When he started talking to attention taking over a right Josh or I didn't mean that like a comic's going away Hey, he's gonna be It continues. Are you doing? Hey chris, I hate to do this to you, but you are starting to break up more. So, um, I'm sorry It's it's got to be my connection. Um, it's it's not the best Um, so, uh, i'm not really sure what to do about that and I apologize Um, don't don't worry about it. Why don't you dump me talk to the audience and I'll jump in Okay, all right, that's that will work. Thank you for Trying thank you for being here. It's nice to talk to you, you know one on one and face to face for for once, but um, I'll uh, we'll we'll try to um try to try to we'll try to get this to work some way or other so okay Thanks chris. Yeah Okay. All right. Sorry about that, but um, hello everyone. Okay. Um, let let me catch up on the chat. Um, Let's see. Marianne says chris's feet is cutting. Yeah, that's got it. I'm pretty sure that's a bandwidth issue. I'm sorry about that Hey, uh, hello, uh, Bart and uh, jofan 84 and Everyone wow. Hello peg warmers. Um, so now that peg warmers is here Let me say briefly thank you For working with me on the dino hunters review. Uh, that was a lot of fun You brought a lot of knowledge and information that I could not have gotten otherwise I don't have access to all of those. Uh, those Jurassic Park tours. It was extremely helpful and I hope everybody is uh, subscribed and um Watching peg warmers. Uh great show and and really a great friend as well. So thank you very much. Uh, and My apologies comic tropes. My apologies chris. I um, uh, Of course the technology is going to Break down now That's just how computers work for me so Anyway, so yes, uh, but but thank you for uh, some insider information what what I was going to show Uh, let me pop this back up here. Um So That's the gi joe team. Uh, this is it looks looks like this is the cobras and am I uh, correct? So we obviously we have serena cobra commander Um in destro and is that is that yes, that's mercer behind them. I like that idea I like the idea of starting out with mercer Firmly in cobra Uh, there is some character development there. Uh, and that's really uh, really cool and oh, um Peg warmers says, um, it was great. I borrowed the t-rex from half the movies and jordan from geek anything brought the rest of So and please thank jordan. I did send you a message to convey my thanks to jordan, but I'll do it publicly now Thank you jordan Uh, and and thank you for all of that. That was an extremely important part of the video and I deeply appreciate it um, so, uh, let's see Um, yeah establishing work mercer is a great idea. I think so Hello, diana davis. Nice to be here. Thank you for being here. Um, I had comic tropes on for a minute But then uh, my technology pooped out. So, uh, my sorry about that. Let me I'll uh I'll go back to slide one. This is our gi joe team. We've got hawk duke baroness and stalker Our initial cobra team. We've got cobra commander destro mercer and zirana Uh comic tropes says joshua williams said he would only uh, he only wanted to write gi joe if he was sure larry Hamma was getting to do his run and was told that was always the plan. That's really solid and good to hear I'm I'm really glad that they are um Making sure that larry can continue the story that he started and you remember in With marvel initiative number 155 it ended rather abruptly you know, and I I don't want to I don't want larry to have to end the gi joe series abruptly again So I'm really glad that he's able to uh able to uh continue Um Yes, um and uh, let's see. Oh, you know what? I haven't said hello to andrew. Hello andrew andrew the guy's so nice They named in twice. Nice to see you. Um, so Uh Williamson also explained his goal with cobra commander was to explain why all all the men in cobra are willing to serve him When they basically hate him. I think that's that's also Um a nice idea. I know that larry has touched on that song He's touched on that a little bit here and there. Um throughout the series as to You know, why why do people? um Like in particular people who have their own power Like destor like major blood like the baronist. Why are they following cobra commander when they clearly can't stand the guy? so, um, I'm also interested in seeing like what his characterization of cobra commander will be Um, that's a character. I think that can be played with a lot I think you could expand that character a lot. I think that's uh, it's intriguing. Uh, that's intriguing Uh, the blue libra says why is the baronist on the joe team? We don't know yet We don't know yet um, but eventually we will find out Um cobra commander the comic was described as basically a horror comic for instance buzzer will use the chainsaw on his weapon nice nice so so um perhaps a bit uh more adult and gory maybe then uh than what we're used to but I think um As with everything it depends on how well it's done. So we will um I mean, like I said, I'm willing to give this a try. I want this to succeed. So we're gonna give this a shot We are gonna give this all of the shots um Let's see and let's see. Uh, chris says yes. They might uh do came uh became the field team leader Oh, yeah in the lengthy idw run. Yes um But not too gory Let's say rated r gory At least p g 13 gory um I really think uh folks will appreciate artist tom riley and andrea Milana's work. Um, I I've liked what I've seen so far. Um Mary Ann says does this occur in new york every year i'm referring to new york comic con. I'm pretty sure. Um, the I think it it does except didn't they take a break during the pandemic years Do I remember that correctly that they that they for at least a year or two they held off? um Oh, yeah, the question was whether larry had softened on duke. Yeah Um as he's written before um, it took a while for larry to warm up to duke But he seems to have grown into the character and has been using him quite a bit more Uh, hello robber's era a rosary. We don't know uh that she's on the joe team. Just he isn't in the Just that she's in the cast of the book Um, perhaps but you know, it does suggest and they are in a a team Group photo here It looks it looks like it. We will see we will see um, they could they could Just do it Do what everyone demands and do it exactly the same as gi joe rise of cobra And have the baroness be duke's love interest until she gets turned to uh cobra But then has her brainwashing lift lifted Through the power of love through the power of love Is what cures the baroness from her brainwashing for the cobra? Uh, but uh, let's see um, yeah, it says meet the team. So at least it's at least implying It's at least implying that Uh, that she's on the team Um, the energon universe encapsulates avoid rivals. That's something that uh has been out curks A kirkman's sci-fi book transformers and gi joe Uh as I hate to like keep reiterating at the same point, but I um Uh, when it comes to gi joe and Uh transformers crossovers um, I I always worry that gi joe is going to be uh a Let me see if I can adjust my Yeah, I think let's see that that's a little better. Um That that it will be mostly transformers and a little bit of gi joe It'll be like transformers and gi joe down here and that gi joe will be playing second fiddle to the robots um, but um, at least it seems like they're trying not to fall into that, you know, that Typical trap that is easy to do when you've got, um a popular Uh franchise and a popular ip like transformers and there's no denying transformers is popular has been popular. Um It's it's had like more mainstream pop culture success than gi joe has in recent decades There's that's just a fact there's no denying that because of that it's gonna it's really tempting and really easy to Make any crossover sort of all Orbit around Transformers transformers is the giant sun That everything or else orbits around But gi joe I think still has An important story to tell I think there's still a lot that can be done with it Uh, and I think that it uh, it deserves its own spotlight. So I'm hoping I'm hoping that they will Do a good job with it and uh Comic tropes says oh Uh for for what it's worth the panelists made it very clear that each book will be self contained For the overall story they're telling. Okay. Okay. Uh, that is encouraging um and Also saw super seven cobra mothership and my god. It was massive. Okay. Let me let me show that hold on Uh, that's uh, yes, I've got your photo Of yeah, there there is the photo of the mothership and this is a hot topic that I wanted to Um to kind of throw out there the mothership The super seven mothership which is going to be Not gonna be it is a crowdfunding project. Um, that is not in my wheelhouse. Um, I am neither a collector of super seven nor, you know animated series themed Stuff which most of super seven is kind of More reminiscent of the animated series style So this is not in my wheelhouse and even if it were uh for $500 And for the size that I don't have I'm gonna I'm gonna get the dragonfly I don't have a space to put that thing. I have no idea where I would put the mothership I just don't have the room for it. Um, but Uh, I'm curious how many people are interested in it. Um, and I of course it's g i joe So I hope it's successful I want it to be successful Um, it's definitely off to a slow start um It's scaled to 3 uh 0.75 o-ring comes with parachutes two trouble bubbles gun emplacements and two figures for $500 now I And thank you for um bring this up because I think there Are some reasons why? It's gonna be priced in that range um We've talked about in the past that since g i joe since Since hasbro owns g i joe They don't have to pay any licensing fees on it So basically any money they make off of it is theirs. You know, that's it's so they can I mean they don't have to account for licensing fees in their Prices in in their in their price points Super seven on the other hand, uh, they are licensing g i joe So they do have to pay a licensing fee on top of whatever it costs to produce the thing and I have no idea what that is I don't know How much that is But for something of this scale and this is massive it is huge um I don't see any way that they could make it Less expensive. So I I know that's going to be an issue for some people um And I have to think that their thought was if they're gonna if they're gonna have to make something expensive anyway Why not go for the gold? Why not? You know go for the biggest awesomest thing that they could think of and just make it huge, you know um But but I am very curious if Uh, if a lot of people are going to To jump on that it is a lot and that's the that 495 Uh, if you add a few extras, I've seen some folks, uh with receipts showing that after um shipping and Uh taxes or and you know extras and stuff they're getting They're they're getting totals closer to 800 dollars. Um, that's um That's a lot. That's a lot. It is a significant amount Um, but you're getting significant stuff Um, so I'm just very curious. I'm very curious um Who is interested and I'm very hopeful that that it does well so far We've been really successful at crowdfunding Ventures with Three successful has lab projects and let's not forget the gijo adjacent crowdfunding projects that have been going on with your call sign longbow and uh operation recall and others Um, it's been a really successful time for gijo crowdfunding um, but, um, I mean it does kind of sour folks if If they if they run one and it doesn't land right if it's if it's not successful Then you have to worry that okay. We have found the upper edge You know to how far we can go with these and then everything you get will have to be something lesser um But um, I I absolutely hope that um that it's successful. Um And I will be watching it closely. We'll we'll do updates We'll check for updates, but it is off to a slow start and that's got to be understandable for the the price point Um, so I've missed. I'm sorry. I've I've missed some chats, but I wanted to make sure to cover that and and thank you again Um comic tropes for these pictures and thank you for for coming on the show Um in addition to that I just wanted to show this since we're talking about super seven um these Uh super seven ultimates figures And as you can see we've got some 55 dollar figures here of zartan the baroness gung-ho and stalker Uh, then we got some uh, what looks like, um unpainted Uh, uh test shots I guess Um of what looks like cover girl and roadblock and major blood and a crimson guard And despite wearing clothes They are nude That's a very, you know Racy and unexpected direction Uh to to take the ultimates. I haven't been buying the ultimates. They're really expensive And uh chris points out their ultimate series looks nice, but that's a lot of money. That's exactly right that that's And that's where I am about it. It it would be nice to have them It would be nice to have them, but um, that is a bit out of my price range for Uh for what they're getting but anyway, uh, thank you for your on the spot Uh correspondence chris, and thank you for jumping on here And again, I'm very sorry that the technology didn't work very well for us. We got it It worked this much. We got it got it going this much, but um Sometime when you have time, I'll try to bring you back on And we'll try to make it work and you know get get it working properly, but uh, but thank you again um, I would like to pause Thank you everyone for being here, but I'd like to pause for a moment I'd like to pause for a moment because I would like to say Something special about marianne my girlfriend. Um, we are coming up on one year We're coming up on our first anniversary here in just a few days um I will not be doing the tuesday livestream next week. Why because we are doing something special for Um our first anniversary and so I won't be available. I will be around after that um, but I wanted to thank Marianne for a wonderful year. It's been fantastic. Uh, she is great and um, and I love you and thank you for being here Thank you for being supportive and thank you for sticking with me for an entire year that's uh, um, it's Uh, it's been pretty special In that year Um, she has already gone with me to joe fest. She's had the joe fest experience and she seemed to really have a good time Uh, and I hope that we can do a lot more. You know, I love to travel. I love to travel And I love to travel with marianne um And honestly if I could just like go from one Convention to another just just make the rounds just do do that all year round I'd probably be fine with that. I can't do that because I have to live here. I got responsibilities here in this place, but I'm just saying I really enjoy the conventions enjoy the shows and speaking of which, um Assembly required coming up on november 3rd and 4th in Des Moines, Iowa. I will be there. Um, that was kind of a last minute decision I had I got I used some of my rewards points to get a hotel not the convention a hotel. Unfortunately But I got a hotel in Des Moines, um, so I'm gonna go I'm not taking any extra money for a toy hunting I just I don't have a budget for running toys right now, but I'm gonna go to hang out with people. I'm gonna go see people um, and uh, hopefully have a good time. So assembly required Des Moines, Iowa uh, november 3rd and 4th, um, hopefully, uh, you will uh You will Uh, be able to make it out there and see me. Um, yes, she's really funny. She has a great sense of humor and She enjoyed joe fest and it's it's been a it's been a ride. Hasn't it? It's been a wild ride Excitement and adventure I did promise at least occasionally there would be excitement and adventure um, so So yes, we are, uh, we're gonna be Uh unavailable Next week Very busy doing other things we might post on the social media, you know, we shall see um, but um Yeah, we're we're coming up on a year and it's been a hell of a year um So Yeah, wow, it's like I think we covered Everything in in what 30 35 minutes Well shows over guys everybody, but no the show's not over. Um, I see I See what's on joe mind? Hi, what's on joe mind? Um, uh, Don't forget what's on joe mind is coming up after this show the link is in the description of this video There are actually a lot of links in the description of this video. So please go check out all of them Tuesday that means it's a new episode of half the battle with timmer Right after this show there will be a live episode of what's on joe mind Codename new to bearer two has a new episode about big ben Comic tropes chris from comic tropes. I put the link to his channel in the description as well And if you are interested in backing the super seven Crowdfunding kickstarter thing Then I put the link in the description for that as well I'm really interested. Please let me know First of all, if you if you are going to back it, you know, what interests you in it And if you're not going to back it, what is keeping you from backing it? I can tell you for me. It's that well, I don't really Haven't been actively collecting the super seven stuff. It's super expensive and I don't have any place to put it. So that's uh It's just right out but Yeah, even if uh, you're watching the replay, please let me know. I'm just very curious The pros and cons that people are looking at As far as this super seven cobra mothership Marion says we will take lots of pictures next next week. Yes. Yes, we shall. Yes, we shall It should be a lot of fun and Believe me. I need the the time away. I'm about That was me sneezing. Pardon me It's it's allergy season. Um, anyway, um, uh, let's see Joe fan 84 says i'm not because of the price. Uh, hello from the hilt. Oh, I don't think I've said hello to a lot of people Hello, sparkster. Um, hello, brandon. Hello, david andrews. Hey draws. Nice to see you draws um, hello, uh, zeemot and, um, Joe fan. I already said hello, joe fan, but hello, joe fan again Uh, hello X fliriso. Uh, hello brandon are so it's um Um, let's say, uh Yeah, uh, brandon are also not into five points of articulation. Yeah, I feel the same way I'm not really into the five corner of articulation super seven figures. They're also I think a little pricey for um For figures of that construction um On the other but like to be fair They they work perfectly fine for what they are right. They're not designed to Uh, have the same kind of play value That you know the the o-ring figures had they they're made Uh for kind of their their display ability and kind of their the throwback retro look Uh of the like the star wars style construction Um, and and they and they do look nice. I mean I I do like the way they look they really kind of Like the the smoothed out details and everything it really does kind of capture the Uh the look of animation it looks like you know the animated Uh characters from the the the cartoon And I think that is I think that's an important niche and I think it was really smart to license that to super seven rather than hasbro doing it themselves because um I think that could be as a successful uh market for Uh for fans of the the animated series. Oh, hey one thing I forgot one fairly important thing about the super seven mothership It includes an o-ring figure It includes an o-ring figure So fans of gi joe o-ring style figures who have been neglected Lately who have not had new stuff lately had to Be patient with all of the classified and the super seven and the reaction figures and all that There you have it a an o-ring figure you only have to pay $500 and get the mothership for it, but Uh, it's it's uh, it's an actual new it's an actual new o-ring figure um, let's see Chris says includes two o-ring figures with the option to pay 475 more for five vipers that are o-ring. That's right. Um, there are some add-ons So if you are interested In these o-ring figures, that's that could be a reason to pick it up and I know there have been some o-ring fans. Oh That that makes more sense that'd be that'd be a lot more. Um, but, um There are some fans of o-ring that just they they have felt neglected like everything else is going on Everything else is uh is coming out. You got your six cents. You got your all this other stuff Um, but uh, but the o-ring figures have been neglected. Well neglected no more um And I could I could legitimately legitimately see this as a reason why some people might go for it I mean, I wouldn't it's not work that to me, but um If you if you like are really Uh focused on the o-ring figures in your collection That's something new. That's something and that's something that's going to be special, right? Um, they're I don't imagine they're going to be a lot of them floating around if The way to get them is to buy the five hundred dollar mothership so, um I I could see that as I could see some people seeing that as either something special that they that they Want to have because they've missed the o-ring or something that might be an investment Uh for o-ring collectors in the future Um, who may not want the mothership, but uh, but would like to have new and fresh o-ring figures um Let's see. Uh, Marianne says needs to go soon. Well, that's okay. Uh, I will catch up with you After the show and thank you very much for being here um, uh, thank you for a wonderful year, uh, and uh, you you have also Came into my life at the perfect time. Uh, and it's been fantastic. Thank you and thank you for being here Thank you for everything so, um It's it's it's been a heck of a week. Um, I've got I I did the the dino hunters thing. I hope everybody enjoyed the dino hunters I mean it was almost an hour long um This is why I think that I should probably tweak my format a little bit to make to make the To make that a little more digestible. I'll work on that. I'll work on that Um, but I still enjoyed looking at it and I hope everyone enjoyed Uh, the review of the dino hunters. I was I was able to oh, uh, thank you chris. Thank you um, I was able to get some information that I did not know before I started researching for the dino hunters review. Um, I thank you I I thank peg warmers for what they did also thanks to uh, to, um Uh, 3d joes to karson Um, there is some information in the new Um art of gi joe hardcover omnibus book that is supposed to be shipping in december um That it has some information about dino hunters that I had never heard before And I had not found from any other source and believe me. I've looked Believe me. I've looked at as many sources as I could possibly um As I could possibly find um I will I will add that audrey Really wanted to wear the dinosaur costume She doesn't normally get that involved in making videos But as soon as she discovered that I had a dinosaur costume. I had the t-rex costume She's like, I want to wear the t-rex costume. I was like, okay. Okay. You get you get the t-rex roll Uh, you get the t-rex roll. Thank you. Thank you ratface um But yeah, uh that information from uh From karson's book from from the art of gi joe could not find it anywhere else Uh, so uh, so thanks to karson for helping me with that for allowing me to use that It was very much appreciated. I was allowed to use it before the book even ships. Uh, he was able to get me that information um Some of that information some of that stuff I I I found myself just by kind of looking around because um, the dinosaur that came with that the t-rex Man, that didn't look original That that did not look like something that came out of hasbro's design department So I just um, I knew that somebody had mentioned that it was modeled after Uh an existing dinosaur toy, but I couldn't remember Which one it was and I couldn't find where that had been mentioned before So I just went to ebay and started looking at every dinosaur toy that they add until I found that one And that turned out to be the precise dinosaur That hasbro licensed from imperial toys and to clarify they did license it They didn't steal it. They didn't uh, you know Underhanded just go buy a dinosaur toy and copy it. They did license it from uh, imperial toys um, but I felt it was I really wanted to have The dinosaur that they copied right I wanted to have that in hand so that I could show it to you side by side and you can see look It's it's not just a little bit alike They clearly copied it um in addition to that I found um, so I I looked up the trademark Uh with the u.s patent and trademark office you can look up trademarks. Um by name so I looked up uh The dino hunters trademark And what I saw was that it was trademarked by tonka with um hasbro's address So this was after you know the acquisition So that prompted me to go out and start looking for tonka dino hunter and it turns out that I was able to find that um, I was able to find that I was uh, uh Uh, and it's not really that rare. They're fairly common I was not able to find the dinosaur that came with it, but uh, it wasn't that difficult to find The tonka dino hunter from 1992 after the hasbro acquisition. So that's after the hasbro acquisition of tonka Um, and there it is there it is dino hunter tonka truck Uh, so yeah, I had to pick that up and then I had to Uh, see at least see if I could find out what the story was behind it. Now. I haven't been able to confirm it. I can't confirm it at all But based on the trademark um Registration date and the dates when it was first used in in commerce um, I think I think the hasbro Uh gi joe brand team had that name uh trademarked under the name tonka because tonka was already using it and because not because they were going to use it for another tonka Uh vehicle but because they intended to use it for gi joe. I can't prove that I can't prove it yet But that's my suspicion. That's that's what I believe uh may have happened Um, but what that does mean is that for the name of this set Uh, they didn't really come up with anything new They looked through the catalog of what was already out there Um comic trope says true prove it in a court of law. Well, I would be happy to uh, if, um Uh, if uh, if the statute of limitations hadn't expired, I'll tell let me tell you let me give you a little inside scoop here, um That I didn't mention in the review So the copyright for dino hunter at least in the area of uh toys Is is dead. It's expired. There is a dino hunter's uh trademark, but it's for like a um, like a dinosaur educational park or something like that But in the area of of toys nobody has the dino hunter's uh trademark right now I had the thought it it did occur to me. I had the thought of registering dino hunters for myself Actually going out there and grabbing it While it's available. I decided not to it's it's not an expense that I really need right now Plus, I don't know what I would do with it. I probably I'd do something with it But I oh, thank you white vegeta Uh mesco duke There was a mesco duke that came out, but I was not I'm not prepared. I will have to talk about mesco duke Um next time because I was not prepared And I didn't get a picture of it. So next time. Thank you white vegeta for bringing it up and thank you for the super cat And thank you white vegeta for being a supporter for such a very long time. I very much appreciate having you here um My thought though if I were to There is the ultimate judgment on uh mesco duke diana davis says it's lovely I have seen pictures of it. It does look really good. It does look really really good. Um Uh, how much uh, would the dino hunter's license cost a license? I don't know, but the trademark I think it's something like 450 475 dollars per What's it per area that you? Um register it so You know, it's not outrageous, but uh, it's just not something I need to do Um And my thought though was that yeah, I could get it. I I could maybe whip up a web comic or you know I could do something with it, but um if Hasbro Wanted to revive Dino hunters for gi joe for whatever reason for classified for whatever if they wanted to revive The uh dino hunters for gi joe um, I would hand over that trademark for free um, they could have it um Because frankly I would like to see I'm just It's so quirky and bizarre and strange And I would love to see what they would do. I would love to see them attempt A classified dino hunters. So if Hasbro calls me up and says hey, we want to do a classified dino hunters Can we have that trademark? I'm like, yeah, here's here it is. It's all yours um I My curiosity is too great Right. I I I would have to see What the heck they would do with that so that that would be my condition if I were to get the dino hunters Uh trademark is uh is that I would Uh, I would I would give it up. I would give it up to to one party Being Hasbro under the condition that they will do something with it Uh, whatever they they would come up with I mean, is it possible to come up with any ideas for dino hunters that wouldn't be bizarre And strange and kooky, you know what I'm kind of in the mood for strange and bizarre and kooky Give me some strange and bizarre and kooky right now. I'm just I'm in the mood for that Uh, but anyway, that's the thought that I had But it didn't get past the thought stage One reason it didn't get past the thought stage is because I was really really busy trying to make a video um Yeah, here we go, uh two weeks later. They repaint those figures red and call them crims and dino hunters exactly see that's um, I that that see that is like another level of ridiculousness and You know, I I am I'm used by absurdity sometimes and that would be a level of absurdity that I I would get a chuckle out of that would be Uh, that would be pretty funny um, so anyway, uh, uh, we are coming up on close to an hour I don't want to go over because uh, what's on Joe mind will Start when I am done and I don't want to go over their time um, but, um Yeah, I'm I'm working on a smaller scale review an easier review That hopefully will be up Uh this coming sunday if I can get it Done i'm working on it Um and, uh The following week. I won't have anything because I'm busy I've got an idea actually I have an idea plus a possible Collaboration with somebody that I've never collaborated with before and I'm really excited about it Um, but I can't tell you what it is because it would be a spoiler. So Uh, that's something that I will need to work at before during and after assembly required We'll get to it. We'll get to it. Um, but, um Smaller scale like crusader review. So, yes, that's smaller. That's a smaller scale than a defiant review I mean Yeah defiant review would be too much, but hey crusader is smaller. So, you know I can do that in a week. Uh, well, let's just say it's a Let's just say it's a figure. It's just a figure, but it's um It's in the the theme of spooky season What could it be? What could it be that could strike fear in the hearts of men and probably women too Dogs cats, you know, all of them it strikes fear in their hearts. What could it be? It will be I guarantee it will be um, uh, less of dramatic than all that really be kind of anticlimactic, but uh See, these are good ideas. These are good ideas. Uh, comic tropes has some good ideas toxo zombie Monstro viper those would be good ideas. I wish is why I'm not doing them See, those are good ideas. What I have what I have is an easy idea easy After the dino hunters review. I need something easy Easy so anyway, yeah Yes, ice cream soldier. That's uh, that's an assault on the eyeballs My ice cream soldier figure is actually with, um Timmer I gave my ice cream soldier a figure to timmer even though I knew He already had one um I I wanted him to have every bright orange figure and vehicle That I could fit in that box. So you're welcome timmer You're welcome So it is about time to wrap up. I didn't I shouldn't go on. You know what? I didn't even I didn't even Turn my attention to To gung-ho. I I so I guess we can't I can't open gung-ho in what three and a half minutes It's that's not enough time. We'll try to open gung-ho next time. Uh chico and the man figure. Yeah um It'll be on the the same pegs as the the the migo star skin hutch With the migo welcome back hotter um, so uh, yeah Yeah, poor gung-ho. Um, yeah, he's he's uh Yeah, you can look if you can see the expression on his face. He's not happy Um, but but thank you everyone. I really missed.
