ls for him. But that's it. Oh, yeah. Yes comic tropes has drawn some Uh, some thumbnail artwork for me in the past. Thank you for that comic tropes, uh, chris. I I greatly appreciate it Um, I I I admit I do have a hard time accepting Um accepting art From people that that I don't pay for And I get offers I get offers of people who want to do art For the channel for free and and I have taken them up on that sometimes But I have to admit I have a hard time doing that because Like I I know it's offered and I know people wouldn't offer if they want didn't want to do it, but Like it's Their their work and their time is valuable You know, and I don't want to take Something of value That somebody is done Um without compensation that And and my channel is not of the size That I can like higher people to Uh, to do art to do thumbnails I that that's not That's not in the budget right now So so I can't like offer to pay for it Um, so people have been very kind about offering their work Uh, but I have I have accepted that less lately Just because I don't man. I don't I really don't want to take advantage of people. I I don't want to do that Um, it's not something I would ever ask anyone to do Um All right, let's see interesting shape stock. Let me try to capture that Um, what do we got when drawing thumbnails does it need to be manicured first? Absolutely If it's not manicured it's it's no good Um, let's see. Hold on text message Okay, all right. Sorry. I yes, I will be distracted by personal stuff from time to time because It's 12 hours, man It's it's 12 hours All right, so that's like that and then that's like that Okay, and then it's like yirp and then yirp I think that's good.  Okay All right, so there's that it is it's sort of It's sort of like Like the vintage accessory. It's it's like It's not exact But I am using That time honored art technique of eyeballing it Um A comic short says i'm gonna write a gijo madlib and message it to you that could help fill some time I appreciate the assistance. It's 12 hours, man Um, oh, thank you the figure six pack. I don't think I saw you come in but thank you. Thank you very much Um, and let's see for some of us. It's exposure to the community and bragging rights to be part of something Everything is cool. Well, I'll say and thank you mic and I and I Uh, I really appreciate that and and I hope that Uh that that it's that it can be seen in that light Um, and I I know it's I know it's just me, right? It's just it's my Psychology it's my attitude and just kind of the way I am But I I really really really Don't want to even accidentally Take advantage of and of anybody Uh Like of anybody's offers of anybody's generosity. It's one of the reasons why like I stopped taking I stopped taking stuff At the p.o. Box for a while um And I restarted that recently but I I kept the p.o. Box open. I didn't shut it down But I I asked people to like don't send anything for a while because people are being very generous and Yeah, it it makes me nervous. I don't want even one person To say hey, you know, I regret Being generous to that guy. I regret giving something to that guy And like here's the thing. I'm not perfect. I will make mistakes I I will I will fail to Uh show my appreciation sometimes when I should and that's just part of being human. I I make mistakes But I don't I it makes me nervous. It makes me nervous to To accept Something of value from someone and then like risk like not Um That person not feeling appreciated For what they do Uh, I I really don't want that and it's one of the reasons why like I shut down the patreon for a while And nowadays like the patreon like keeps me going like I need it uh to To pay the bills right now but um Uh, but yeah, like even when I was just using the patreon to pay for like Toys and stuff. I wasn't using it to pay the bills But it was the patreon that allowed me to get the gold head steel brigade A ridiculously expensive figure Uh and absurdly rare figure that I would not likely would not have been able to get otherwise um but I'm like I'm benefiting from these these uh These folks generosity and man I um I want people to understand that that I do truly appreciate it And that's one of the reasons why I did the pin. I did a an hcc's gold head brigade pin That was only for for patrons and I tried to send them to everybody. I think there were a couple people who Uh, who didn't get them. I tried to send them to everybody who actually sent their address Hopefully I caught everyone and that included some international people um But I I just wanted I wanted to say thanks and I did Give some of them out to specific people who Who've shown like extraordinary? Uh generosity and support for the channel um But that like the gold head pin is was never anything to be sold Uh, not something to be like given away, um at conventions or stuff um It was solely for the purpose of showing appreciation for people who have been Very generous with their support and even at that, okay I'm even at trying to Show my appreciation in that way. I also don't want people to think that like you gotta Uh, you gotta send stuff That you gotta like be on patreon to to be appreciated Oh, thank you. Joe. So yeah, again, you understand. We appreciate the uh the forum you provide a thing I I thank you and I I hope that you do and I Um, I just want to make sure that I you know, I appreciate you Uh, oh, hey, it's kujo. Hey kujo. Cheers. Nice to see you and diana is back. Uh, thank you Um, let's see. Uh, gotta step away to listen to the news and oh there's news. Okay, and that's probably bad news um Yeah, so if there's news it's I'm gonna have to catch up on it later Uh, we don't we don't need any more bad news. We've we've had a lot of bad news Oh, apparently it's something sad. Don't tell me I'll find out later. I I will Yeah, I don't I yeah, I don't want to I don't want to be a news forum here, but Uh, yes, I I am engaged in you know the The happenings in the country and the world um I just I don't want to I don't I don't want to break bad news here But I do I do want to know what's going on. Uh, and I'm afraid if I look right now It will uh It will not be easy to process At this exact moment I Given the kind of things that have been happening lately. I could probably guess what's going on This this is why we have like we uh We are we're not talking about Bruno and we are not talking about the state of the republic right now Because it it can get a little too depressing um, but yeah, that's It's supposed to be a good festive day um, uh Mclauchery Hey mac, I'm gonna call you because I'm from oklahoma and I have far time pronouncing words Uh, I love your content. But why is the red white and blue flag of the netherlands? good question because I needed something that was graphic like that with that and the that the um The letters would show up on that's the real reason but the but the secret reason is um Is that I'm I'm a secret agent for the net for uh for the netherlands. So Uh So you you found me out You discovered my my secret identity Uh, Josiah says please keep the bad stuff off the channel. I yeah, I'm not I'm gonna try to uh, it's it's hard to Because there seems to be always bad stuff happening and that's uh Like I I I don't stick my head in the sand. I I I do Uh, I am engaged on what's in what's going on and I do have opinions about it But man like it's hard to It's hard to keep the spirits up Right now it it it is a challenge All right, and I also do want to express my sympathies to people who are Experiencing these hard times um comma tropes says, uh, uh, if you could make just one figure based on a hama original character Um, let's see hama original characters. I mean there have been some In the More recent series but going back to the marvel series hama original characters You had the hard master the soft master. You had candy professor apple um You know what?  Dr. Burkhardt.  Yeah, absolutely Understood Diana and totally cool. And thank you for stopping in when you can Uh, real life always takes precedence always so but thank you. Thank you for being here Uh, and thank you for a stand on top of of important news Um, I'm glad Quinn got a figure. Yes. Quinn got a figure. Absolutely. That's another uh, hama figure There's also dr. Venom. Dr.  I know Um, uh Josiah, thank you again Josiah. It's nice to have a happy place to go to. Thank you I'm trying to keep it happy. I'm trying to But like I also don't want to be disengaged, right? I there are real things going on out there and uh I don't want to be disengaged, but You know, I'm at least right now. I'm trying to keep it lighthearted. I'm trying to keep it Trying to keep it good But I am disappointed to hear that apparently there is some bad news that I will get to read about What I'm done with this stream We don't need any more of that Do not need any more of it. Let's see. Um, okay. Here's the thing Okay, yeah, I know it's just gonna be that way I'm talking to myself. Okay. Here's I'm sorry. Here's the progress. I haven't showed the progress for a while There's progress and it's basically done. I just need to um, finalize these lines And uh and finish it up. So let's finish it up This has gone longer than I anticipated, which is great if something goes long That means like I have less That I have to make up to fill time later So, uh, we will we'll finish this let's finish this and let's make it good. Okay Let's make it Let's make it a good drawing Let's make it a good doodle. All right So let's get some of the contours of that helmet and let's do that right now like that I'll show you guys the progress again when I have the helmet Done and ready Let's get it up a little bit Uh technically I shouldn't have to clean it up because I'm digitally inking it So you won't see any errant lines anyway But there was a guy who wanted a techno viper. He may buy this one. So I'm trying to keep it Trying to clean it up for Make it look like something you might want to keep Okay, okay That's a contour right there Okay Okay, like so Like so Yerp Yerp Those eyes are weird like the the the eye holes the lenses in the In the helmet Are weird man that techno viper helmet is Like I really didn't appreciate how strange it was Okay, until I tried to draw it I mean you look at it all the time You're like, yeah that that helmet has layers But then you try to actually represent The three-dimensional thing in in 2d and try to get all those layers and you're like man That helmet has layers Okay, try not to rush it though It'd be really tempting to rush it right now because I've I've already done the hard part I've already done the hard work Uh, hello low one bow two Hello low. It says, uh Do you know if joe fest usually has different guests each year? I might go back next year. Yeah, they usually have different guests They often have some recurring guests. They usually have sergeant slaughter, but they didn't have him This year because of a scheduling conflict They usually have Larry hama, but he was at He was at heroes con because there was a conflict with that this year. There usually isn't Um, but yeah, usually your usual suspect gi joe people like ron and larry are there Uh, usually there are some voice actors And there were voice actors. I oh, yeah, I did not have a chance to meet Michael, um The duke guy, um Why am I blanking on the duke voice actors? Name my god, I must be tired Arthur burkhart was there this year. I think that's his first time ever being there And I did go to his panel and I wanted to to Stop and chat with him and get a picture, but I I did not have a chance to do that I tried to get around to do that But I didn't have a chance But Arthur Burkhart is a very interesting person Really really fascinating person to listen to um The voice of storm shadow was there Um Michael bell, thank you very much. Why yes, I know Michael bell. I do thank you. I uh I was having a brain fart that happens to me sometime. I think it's the age Now I did not have a chance to meet Michael bell. I don't think I even saw him like I I was Not able to go around to the floor as much as I wanted to And I don't think I even one time I actually caught him at his table And that's not his fault. It's my fault. I I didn't break away as much as I I wanted to um But yeah, they uh, they they have some recurring guests But yeah, each year they usually have somebody new and different And uh, yeah, augusta augusta georgia. I like it. It's a it's a fun town It's not a real big town And they are mostly known for golf So if you like golf You know There's that I I'm not a golfer um And and I do wonder sometimes if I really want to keep going back to augusta each year But I then I have such a great time reconnecting with friends And meeting new people That I'm like, yeah, I do want to go back to augusta each year because I want to see everybody I want to see my friends and I want to make new friends. I want to make new connections And uh, so yeah, um as much as I can, you know barring any life event that keeps me from going Yeah, I'm gonna go And I would also like to make it to some of the regional shows like I really enjoyed going to Assembly required in Des Moines, Iowa Uh, and I would go back to that I'd like to I did not make it Uh to the last one, but I wish I had I was actually trying to see if maybe I could make that work Was my trip to the northeast but the timing just did not work out But uh, but yeah, there's some really good regional shows as well. Uh, the pizza shop. Yes, uh, and thank you to barge Um, and uh in match and everybody who spent like a lot of time with me That was really cool hanging out with you guys. They had a really nice pizza shop there also Uh, we got some sushi at a place downtown. I don't remember what it's called, but Uh, some some decent sushi some sushi that my very picky child Actually ate and liked She actually liked the sushi and it is so hard to get her To actually eat something She's very picky But she actually liked the sushi. Um, so all right here. Here's progress Make a progress it's coming together working on it So I think after I'm done with this It'll be about the time to take another break Um, I'm trying to take a break every couple hours. It's about 30 minutes from the end of the fourth hour So I think that's a good time for a break, but let me see if I can finish this And then and then break How we doing, uh, thank you Ivan. Thank you. Yeah, we're we're making progress. I'm just kind of Finishing it up here I've done all the hard work already, right? I've done I've I've planned it out. I figured out where everything's going. So all the hard work is done Now it's just a matter of just finishing it may need to sharpen the pencil again Yeah, techno viper is a challenge though. There are so many fine details on this uniform And this is like trying to get it close to the figure At this scale, I could add details you know, I could actually dive into some details that might not have Come out so well on the three and three quarter inch figure, but I'm not gonna do that this time. I want to try to get it as close to the figure as I can all right Okay Here we go Let's draw a few quick lines let's get this Laser welder or whatever it is kind of better defined here Just like don't take a ruler to it the perspective that I'm doing right now Uh, we'll say is we'll call it not precise Totally eyeballing it here and again, absolutely not how I would do this If I were doing a comic book or a book or something like that but For The purposes for which this will be used This is fine Good enough for the girls I go out with I I do assume that sandy did go out with some girls Um and knowing stand sandy knowing sandy I don't know the standards may not have been too high I did like sandy stand sandy was a nice guy. I enjoyed working with them I I don't know that he would have made The best boyfriend though. I not that I would know but you know he uh He did he did fine. He did work. He did good work um So uh for those who don't know the story so back when I worked at Gardner's bookstore years and years ago like the first time I worked there um There was all sandy Who was related to Richard Gardner in some way? I forget exactly how they were related um But he was kind of the handyman and um, he built the bookcases for the bookstore And uh, and you know he needed help with them. So I helped him out So I helped him build a lot of the bookcases that are presently in the store Those bookcases still stand They are extremely solid that I will give sandy credit for that Like a nuclear bomb may not take out those those bookcases um But yeah the old sandy he uh He liked to to come to work.  You try to kick down one of those bookcases. It ain't moving You know Yeah, do a line a linebacker like shoulder, you know tackle Put your weight into it. It ain't moving those things will Those things will outlast outlast the building In which they are housed If you do that though Don't tell them I sent you Jerry would be very upset He's like, why are all these people coming in here trying to knock down our book cases? Why are they trying to knock down our bookshelves? They're like, oh, brian's in us like oh Don't make jerry mad He's a very high strung individual. He can't take the stress Hi, jerry I'm out of your watching I did see him A little while ago and that's that's where I Have gone lately to pick up joe comics And that's the place that doesn't carry the saturday morning adventures and I would like for them to Uh, the first time I worked there I was in charge of the Collectible comics department and those were basically your back issues, right? So we had the new comics That they ordered from diamond And so we get those shipments And put those out, but I was in charge of the back issues and Sometime around that time They built these double decker of tables For the back issues, right? So there's a There's a level a top level and a bottom level and on both levels you have long boxes of back issue comic books um That was not my idea That was richards idea To save space so you can fit twice as many comics In the same amount of space But what that means is if you if you want to reach the comics on the on the bottom level You're on the floor You have to get down on the floor to reach down there plus Those tables are extremely heavy And they have to be moved from time to time you got to rearrange the store you got to sort things out So so occasionally they do have to be moved And they are hell They are hell to move Even if you take you take all this stuff off This is what you tune in for isn't it? You tune in for your gi joe you tune in for completely random And not very interesting personal stories And and for techno viper drawings. So there's there's the progress It's coming along I think the timing is going to be great. I think i'm going to finish this it's taking a lot longer than I thought that it would Because hey, it's me right uh, but It is also going to be finished up right about the time. I think that I need to take My second break So thanks to the 66 people who are still hanging around For this fourth of july 12 hour livestream As usual, I I don't expect anyone to stay here for the the entire 12 hours.  I'm nuts for doing it But you know as people can you know stop in you know When they have breaks from their fourth of july festivities, you know, I hope you'll stop in and stay high Okay, so let's get let's get the chest We're working our way Down the page here Okay, there Um one more thing about joe fest now that i'm thinking of it. I think I mentioned it before but Thinking about it further Next time I go to joe fest I'm definitely flying now. I may or may not have a table. I haven't decided that yet But even if I have a table i'm flying Okay, the reason I drove this time is because I was bringing a lot of stuff For my table and I figure that that stuff can't fit on a plane that can't Reasonably be in check baggage. That's You know, that's just not workable but When I actually got there I ended up not being able to use some of the stuff that I plan to set up So like if i'm not using the tv and I don't have the big stand-up sign um And like I don't so I don't need those like big bulky pieces I could fit the rest of the stuff in in a in a large checked bag On for a plane I could I could take that stuff on a plane Um and since I broke the trip into into two like I stayed The night in birmingham before making it to augusta stayed a night in memphis before making it back home If you add up the hotels the gas The wear and tear on the car The extra meals that I have to get while i'm out I totally could have got both of us plane tickets That that I could have done that and next time next time i'm doing that I have like I used to really and I do still sometimes enjoy road trips But i'm not as young as I used to be and those like many hour Road trips can really take it out of me now Plus like gas prices being what they are they're kind of crazy so Yeah, next time I'm flying I still haven't decided though if i'm gonna have a table there are some pros and cons to having a table Um, I do like the idea of having a home base right and I like the idea of having some Art available if people want it, you know to pick it up at the table So I do like that. I like that idea but But I also like being free To go to any panels that I want to To hang out with people as much as I want to To to leave sometimes and go to lunch and then come back later I like that. I like Having that freedom Which you don't really get if you have a table I mean, they want you to keep the table occupied at all times, but I didn't exactly, you know Uh Bart says I want one strove 32 hours straight. Uh now it's uh more than two hours away. I'm like that. Yeah, see that's Yeah, Bart me too I I have totally done that. I have totally done that um Hang on Yeah Oh, hey. Yeah, okay. So, uh chris sent me a gi joe mad libs So I'm gonna see if I can work that in hey red foreman. Thank you for the super chat. He says hey hoodie I say hey red Right back at you.

I've been trying to take a break every couple hours And I really feel like I need to break pretty soon But I'm gonna finish this And that'll be the perfect time To take said break Yeah, don't look too closely at this drawing I am Totally eyeballing it So like don't don't take a ruler to it Don't don't look at that perspective too closely And thanks. I'm sorry. I'm not able to keep up with the super chat as or I'm with the live chat as well When I'm drawing because my eyes are on the work But oh, yeah, we'll have plenty of time to talk. It's it's gonna be a long show We are just getting started. I've got a lot going on There's gonna be some special stuff in the next hour But I gotta finish this first and then I gotta take a break. Let's get that Okay Okay, here we go There we go This is this is not too bad. Like I said, I did I did the hard stuff Already so this is really just kind of picking out those final lines um Oh, yeah as my phone calendar reminded me I usually do a live stream on Tuesdays and today is Monday But yeah, I I do intend to do the live stream tomorrow as well I'm just it's gonna be just like a regular live stream.

I drink my share Okay The lower part doesn't have to be too precise because it's probably gonna get cut off anyway when I crop it But let's try to sort of finish it up here Okay, okay Um, I think it's about done. I think it's about done Okay. All right. I I don't want to overdo it and if I keep doing it it's just gonna uh It's not gonna help just doing extra lines Just for the sake of sake of having extra lines is uh Does not help the drawing Let's sign it July 2022 okay.

Let me see Let's see what's coming up in there here. I got my notes I finally brought those Okay, so hour three Okay Now, okay, so everything is pushed back a little bit because that took a lot longer than I thought but what we will be doing Um at the start of uh, the next hour after I get my back for my break is we will be opening this This is the new O-ring cobra trooper and cobra officer Uh, this was sent to me by hasbro. I did not purchase this it has all thank you lester.

Okay. I'm uh What we're doing first is we're gonna open this um At the top of the next hour it is damage It did get damaged in shipping so I don't feel bad about opening it Uh, and then Okay, okay, and then after that Before the next break after that we are going to In honor of the the successful has lab His tank I will be opening and assembling This cobra hiss construction set These are rather notorious for their um Let's say not the highest quality Um these lego compatible sets But yeah, we're gonna we're gonna open this and we're gonna follow the directions We're gonna assemble it So these are the these are the next two things that are planned for after the break And then we will see what we have time for Um After that, uh, I've got the mad lives But that's gonna have to be later because I've got some other things That I'm doing sooner. So, um, we're gonna be opening that we're gonna be assembling that then We're going to If there's time we're gonna open this retro Baroness and we're gonna do a compare and contrast With the earlier Baroness with the cobra coil cycle. So This has already been opened. So I'll just take the figure out I will open this. This is another thing that has been sent was sent to me by hasbro But I have not had a chance to open it yet So, yeah, that's that's what's on the the agenda next I don't want to go too far into it, but We will also have a story time. I will show off some books We will watch the deke episode with the football tanks Um, we'll do uh, like a brief review of a vintage toy We will watch We will watch comic tropes's live stream on a live stream So it's a live stream within the live stream.

So we're going to open a couple of these That'll be later tonight Um, so yeah, we got we got a full ish agenda And if I if I can talk slower If I can talk more slowly then it can actually fill up 12 hours Uh, I'm pretty sure that's a pulse exclusive. Are you referring to? Oh The cobra thing. Um, I think that might have been but um But timmer has already done a review of it. He's he already has had it in his possession like way before I did So if you wanted to see like a a review of it Timmer has that on his channel on half the battle Um o ring releases releases will be at retail hasbro is gonna gouge buyers on pulse. Yeah, um, so uh, like I like I don't know exactly what the plans are for how they want to release those but Uh, but again, I wanted to emphasize I did not purchase this So if that you know affects your view of my, uh, objectivity, you know, certainly take that into account But I didn't buy this nor did I buy this Uh, but I I got them and I would like to open them and show them to you Um, what I oh, yeah, I need to get the vintage figures. I'll get the vintage figures So we can look at the vintage side by side with this Uh sold out, uh, and on the usa pulse. Yeah, I think so I think those did sell out. Um, I would like to get the duke and the cobra commander o ring figures because um I'm very curious what they have done with cobra commander like how Do they it has to be a new mold right? I think it has to be new tooling. I don't think they had the the original anymore so Did they update it and if so, how did they update it? I'm very curious. I'm very curious, but for now.

Oh, yeah And all that and I forgot to get the the ventures I want to get the vintage figures to compare with this. I hang on with me just for a second. I'll be right back Stare at the background One second We'll we'll return. All right. I'm back for real this time back for realsies Okay, all right, so I got Ah, I dropped my knife. Uh, okay Okay, I got for later I got I got this because This has the episode pigskin commandos Which we will watch later Um Andrew Andrew says popping in and out today about later in the week. I will be in full rewatch. All right I I admire anyone who actually watches This on the replay salute to you And thank you for being here and I I expect that people will pop in and out that is Totally normal and acceptable Um I I would be highly surprised if anybody actually six through the entire 12 hours. Holy moly um But uh, but when you do have a chance to pop in Hi, thanks. Thanks for popping in uh, thank nice to see everybody. I I do need to Oh All right and So now Let's open this as disclosed earlier This was sent to me by hasbro. I did not purchase it But I'm very curious it curious about it. So I got the Yeah, the the vintage cobra trooper the vintage cobra officer the swivel arm versions And so let's open this and let's compare and contrast with The new ones There the the tape is cut The seal is broken Uh, uh, the sign turned into the command. Yeah, see you gotta watch that thing that sign That that sign does some crazy stuff Uh, although if you want uh, uh to trick us into thinking you are edelman, you need to grow a full beard Yes, Edelman. He did rock the full beard, didn't he? Uh really really good player really good player retired retired recently Um But like I I I have a weird like personal connection to the number 11 when it comes to to sports jersey numbers um, so There's I won't go into it. It's another weird personal story, but yeah, I like I like the number 11 for odd personal reasons, but you know, this is a pretty good number 11 He he did he did well did did did nicely. So when I went to the patriot's game in november and I went to Well, I went to the patriot's hall of fame, uh, and uh, then went to the pro shop I had I had to had to get an edelman jersey. Although I do like the older style jerseys This is the newer style jersey. I like I like the older style jerseys a little bit better um, so okay, so let's Take these out There's the bottle when I Okay, here are the the cards They are carded and they are sealed cards, which means I will have to cut these off Um, so not not super collector friendly But they are trying to go with the wreck retro style packaging. So I get that I get that um, and let's see there This should have some stuff in it So I know it's already busted, but I'm gonna try to open it properly carefully There we go. That's that's some tough tape this this Knife is fairly sharp There we go. I think there we go Okay All right, so all right, how how are they? How are they asking us to open this here? Is it tab in? Okay Ah, got it got it. Okay, so All right. All right. I figured it out. So this There is the outer box There's a look at it here and one thing that they've done That a lot of fans have kind of wanted them to do is they swapped out the weapons the draganov Is being held by the officer and the trooper has the uh, the kalashnikov. So So yeah, that is something that a lot of fans Thought that that should have been done in the first place that those weapons should have been swapped. I do have Hold on While we're doing this hold on a second This is one of dan clingensmith's book and i books and i believe this is the one that has Yeah, the cobra trooper and the cobra officer. So here are some Some pre-production sketches of the trooper and the officer and as you can see like There's the trooper And in the in the pre-production sketches the trooper it does have the draganov sniper rifle And in the pre-production drawings of the officer The officer does have the ak47. So that is always what they were intended to come with It wasn't switched at the factory or something like that. No, that was that was part of the design But a lot of fans have thought for a long time That it should be reversed. And so that's what they've done That's what they've done with this so Now here are The actual o-ring figures here is this little box and Uh, yeah, the the cardboard is Is pretty busted, but let's see. How do I open it? I'm gonna go ahead and open it I guess you open it from the end Yes, no, which if so I gotta cut some more tape. Okay Um, yeah, so here's this Trying to hold this in the frame of the camera so you can see Yes, that was actually part of the design That was the original intent for them to come with the weapons That they came with according to the the early artwork So, yeah, that was that was intentional. That wasn't a mistake, but A lot of fans have felt for a long time that it should have been swapped. So there's their Disclaimer stuff and here We have a couple of of paper wrapped bundles And Now these should be some accessories. Yeah Okay, so these are the accessories And it comes with a variety. There is Stalker's sub machine gun Haslub his is at 13165 at the moment. It'll it'll get to to 16,000 it will get to it There is a modified A modified ak With no stock and with a short barrel That's interesting It's kind of modification a kid might do There is a A rock and roll gun Machine gun which is like a combination of the like a an mg-42 and an m60 But a unique gun and it does have the bipod in the bipod Um, it might be removable, but it's on there pretty solid The bipod is on there pretty solid which which I appreciate And then there's a grunt in 16 and a figure stand We need figure stands. That's good Okay, so and then here's the other bundle Um I do care matt. Thank you very much. I do care. Thank you Okay Yeah, I always assumed this machine gun was an m60 when I was a kid But if you look at it like it has some details of the m60 But some that are definitely not so it is it's kind of a mash-up of a couple different weapons Okay, and then here we have a mortar like the one that came with short fuse If I can get the the stand on It's tight. Come on Okay There So that there's a mortar like the one that came with short fuse there is another figure stand and there is uh a A a bazooka or recoil is rifle like similar to the one that came with zap But it's different. It does not have the sight on it. So it's It's modified. So you will not get this mixed up with your zap Um anti tank recoil is rifle Um, the reason it comes with these alternate accessories is because way back in the day There was like a a jc penny exclusive package set of the cobra A trooper cobra officer with alternate weapons Those are extremely rare sets Very hard to find but This is just kind of an homage To those very rare Um Exclusive sets from like way back in 1982 So that's why it comes with some alternate weapons Um, but the figures themselves Uh the trooper despite the outer packaging artwork The trooper comes does come with the draganov and has the draganov still in the artwork Oh, thank you. Dominic johnson. Thank you for the super chat and thank you for being here. Thank you very much um this this set is The o-ring the new 2022 o-ring cobra trooper and cobra officer These were sent to me by hasbro. They've they've been out for a little while They've been out for a little while, uh Derruti says no sniper rifle the sniper rifle sniper rifle is in with the figure and The officer has The ak-47 and the ak-47 is still in the artwork. So Uh this despite what it shows on the outer box the Carted figures inside are as they were with the vintage. So Yeah, um, Dominic says thanks for doing the all day marathon. Uh, we all enjoy and appreciate it. Thank you And I appreciate you being here. We are somehow back up to 73 People watching that is crazy. That is crazy on a holiday. That's awesome. Thank you very much Uh, so okay now I need to cut I'm gonna cut these off of the card Um Yes, it would be nice to to keep them carded, but This is not collector friendly packaging this knife is getting though. I need to sharpen this knife Mental note to self sharpen this knife, but it'll be okay for now. Look it's unpunched All right, let's let's get this carefully, there we go opening the officer first Because that just happened to be the one that I had in my hand so let's um Let's cut this open Open the officer. Okay. There we go. Hold on Uh chip break chip break. All right. It is free of the card Free of the card And There we go There is our cobra officer Let's pop him out of the plastic And I will place him side by side with The vintage Cobra officer One thing that I'm always concerned about is like I don't want any what buddy to confuse Of a modern retro figure with the vintage um Yeah, the yeah the super seven ones there the super seven ones are A little steep for what you get that's that is something that has been pointed out a few times so There is your your modern o-ring cobra officer Let's put his ak in his hands if they did this right Yeah, this the plastic seems to have a little bit more flex in it. So I think there's less Less danger of breaking the thumbs. That's nice. Hello, wilkinson studios Thank you for being here Um suppressor was the best cobra leader proved me wrong. Well, he did say this I command a lot So if if if issuing a lot of commands makes him the best then I I think you've got it So there's there's that Yeah, the blue does look lighter. Uh, so let me pull the The vintage cobra officer And like at a glance I can already tell that the the the blues are different um, so Like at a glance you should be able to tell these guys apart. So um Like here's the vintage guy Right here and here is the retro o-ring And you can see the the colors are are different This is the best This is the best cobra emblem that I have on a cobra officer and it's not great The silver paint on these guys Was not very robust So it is nice to kind of have a full Silver cobra emblem on the chest But there are these guys side by side Well, let me take a quick gander at them the uh, all right the the the eyes The eyes on the new guy are like they're a little more detailed I guess they have finer lines, but he does have a bit more of a A bug eye look There's there's a little bit of bug eye there. Just just it's uh, yeah, it's just a little bit there So there is that I'm gonna open the other guys, but then what I want to do if I Oops, I've got knocked down one of these If I if my toolbox is around which I think it Where my toolbox Anyway, I got to find my toolbox.  Oh, there it is. All right toolbox is there So I'm going to take the screw out because I want to see how they did the o-rings in this Loses points for getting killed with an arrow. Yes, that's Uh, that that's how a serpentor went down. Um, depending on how Depending on which continuity you follow um Cobra commander was turned into a snake But he got better He got better Okay, so there's this hold on separate all right Let's now open the cobra trooper carefully Must sharpen this knife I didn't realize how dull this knife was getting Yeah, I'm gonna I will do something about that But not right now, okay All right, so The cobra trooper is free from the card Put the card over here Okay, and let's Pull this off There he is now. Let's take the trooper out of the plastic Um, let's see. Yeah, uh, that's right. A serpentor kind of died twice Um Oops, I gotta be careful. I put all these accessories up here And I keep knocking them down. Okay, so let's pull pull this guy out So there's your trooper. Let me put his Weapon in his hand The plastic is a little softer than the vintage figure, which I think is good It still retains some of the detail And it's a bit more of a matte finish But there's much less chance of breaking The thumbs or the crotch so I'm I'm all about the softer plastic that that is fine There's his Little bit of bug-eyed there Little slightly bug-eyed But at least, you know, you're not gonna mistake this for the vintage. Let me pull the vintage one out Okay, okay, so um Yeah, here is the vintage and it is a darker blue Because it's a darker blue the red cobra emblem does not show up as well on the chest on the new one lighter blue Um, and yeah, the red still doesn't show up on the chest very well, but maybe a little better So there are these guys side by side And now that I have them out I would like to Unscrew one of them And since since I have the trooper here in hand I am going to I'm going to unscrew this because I'm I'm really curious about How they did the o-ring Because o-rings Do deteriorate over time They're they're under tension So inevitably Your classic rubber o-ring Will break So I'm just curious of how they handle that With these new figures. So I've got my toolbox here, which is It's a plastic footlocker From like classic gio I'm getting my Getting my screwdriver Getting a drink of water Okay Here we go opening this guy Screwdriver is in Screw is coming out one thing about the return of o-ring figures is that They're more easily customizable Than the modern figures and of course the modern figures were customizable tons of people did customs of the modern figures So it's not like you couldn't customize the modern figures, but with the o-ring figures Just unscrewing one screw and you can pop the whole thing off.  That feels like an o-ring That that I don't know if they used a different material they may have But it feels like it feels like an o-ring It really does So I was curious about that So it's it's a true o-ring figure. It's a true o-ring figure Um Not sure this modern collection will be played with as much I play with my toys a bit, but not as much as when I was young. Yeah. Yeah, I understandable And like these I think almost everything that's being made right now Is for modern like adult collectors. I don't think there's a lot in gio right now That is specifically for kids And like for gio to remain healthy For decades to come that's got to change right you have to bring in new fans If you want longevity So So if gio is going to Continue on for decades to come You you have to have new new fans coming in And I think that's what they were intending to do with the movie, but the movie wasn't super kid friendly Not that it was like had a lot of Adult stuff in it, but it wasn't like fun It's not something a kid would see and like want to see it again But they have they do need to Keep bringing in new and younger fans if they want Gio to be a healthy brand In the decades to come And I'm not going to pretend like I know how to do that Like I've had ideas. I don't know that any of my ideas would work But I don't think there's a whole lot going on about that right now now for me. It's great I get I get stuff like this I get I get some actual fresh brand new o-ring figures And I do like these like These are all right. Uh these you can If you army build the blue shirts If you aren't army build the blue shirts, these can go on your shelf Yeah, the eight-year-old isn't buying a two fiftieth stinker or yeah, that's That that's not realistic. Exactly. That's exactly my point. So they are targeting all this stuff At the nostalgia market And that's fine. I like getting this stuff But for the long long run You know, you got to have new fans coming in you just have to and You don't do that the same way You did when we were kids There there are Media has changed in the last 40 years you know Sometimes kids still watch cartoons sometimes kids still read comics, but there are so many more options out there That just doing it the same way they did back in the 80s I don't think that's gonna bring the kids in like it. It did back then And you got to adjust you got to adjust to modern times. That's what they did in the 80s That doing the comic book doing the animated series Having the animated commercials and all of that that was an adjustment for modern times in the 80s But if you want to sell the kids you have to adjust to modern times now So How to do that? I don't know I'm no expert Um Let's see. Oh When the o-rings were first introduced larry's, uh, Lenny said the o-ring itself would meet a silicon instead of a it could be silicon It it feels like a rubber o-ring to me Um, but it could be silicon. So if that's what they made it out of that's that's good. That's better That's better Um You know actually that that it did it could have been a silicon feel It but it's still very similar to the classic rubber o-ring. So so that's cool. That's cool. Um, anyway, so there's that And silicon may be a bit more durable than you know Then the old rubber one. So that that'll be good Okay, so there are those that we we've taken them off. We've opened them. We've looked at them We evaluate them. They're all right um for me like as a vintage collector If there's something like this that looks like a vintage item, I want people to quickly and easily be able to identify it as not vintage And I think these are I think these are fine Like if you if you put them next to the originals you can tell at a glance At a glance that these are not vintage And that's That's a plus in my column and that's something I worried about a little bit When I knew these were coming out like I want to make sure that nobody Uh is duped or deceived into buying something that wasn't what they intended to buy Because it's awfully discouraging especially when you are a new collector To overpay for something when you thought you were going to get something vintage something You know that's been around for a while And you ended up not getting that That's discouraging and I I don't I don't want anybody to uh be duped into Uh wasting their money, but these I think are fine. These don't do that. I think like they feel different They feel different from a vintage figure Um the the the finish is more matte than the Like the glossy a more glossy finish Vintage figure the color is different The the shoulder rivets are darker different shoulder rivets Uh different different paint on the eyes the accessories like This if I were to drop this in a bag with a vintage Uh Cobra trooper drag on a sniper sniper rifle I could pick out easily pick out which one is the real vintage and which one is the The new one I I can tell the difference at a glance the colors are different. This one just like it's like a little thicker It feels different So that's that's good. That's good Uh, where did I get my joes as a kid? Uh a couple different places There was a kmart that was within walking distance From the house. So we went there sometimes when we had the money There was a variety store Called airway variety Back when I was a kid and they would sometimes have joe stuff. So we get stuff there. That was closer um And otherwise we would go like wherever my parents were shopping We would just go to the toy aisle and like see what they had Uh, we went to toys rs sometimes But everything at toys rs was expensive. So my parents did not like taking us there Because we would go there and of course we were kids. We would want everything so For my parents it was like Always having to say no, you can't have that. No, you can't have that. No, that's too expensive So there were a lot of no's when we went to toys rs. So they didn't take us to toys rs very often But we did get a few things from from toys rs Uh, but that kmart though that was within walking distance. It was a decent walk. It was kind of a far walk But we could do it and when we when we got bikes we could bike there Um, so what we would do is like I would mow lawns. I would mow our lawn. I would mow My grandmother's lawn Any others around the neighborhood? I would just mow. I would mow lawns all summer and it was really hot It was it was not easy, but You know, I get 10 or 20 bucks And that would be enough for for a handful of uh of figures of joe figures. Maybe even a vehicle so Yeah, and I think I think we got our joe stuff that way more than Like uh Christmases and birthdays like we got them sometimes for christmases and birthdays, but not a ton um We uh, we at least I more often got them for myself I'm trying not to lose these so i'm putting them back All right, so that we we did it we did it It only took like 45 minutes. So that's awesome or like really less than that You know, I haven't I took a break. So I haven't been back the whole 45 minutes since the top of the hour Where's my oh that my agenda? What are we doing now? I'll assemble the lego hiss Okay According to the agenda the next thing i'm going to do Uh is open The thing that I can't oh there it is I found it. I found it hold on chip break all right, so Let's see if we can do this um Going to cut this open. How are we doing? I'm sorry. I haven't paid enough attention to the live chat Hello raisiner. Nice to see you. Thank you for being here um Raisiner would order from the catalogs as a kid in the 80s spend all my birthday money on joes. Yeah, that's Um, I did not order from the catalog. So it's kind of cool that you did um I didn't get any mail away stuff, which is a little disappointing especially now but at the time Like I think I think my parents didn't like us sending away for things I mean they were afraid that we were going to waste our money But man, I wanted some of that stuff So as a kid like I never got the hooded cobra commander. I had friends who had it. So I did play with it But I didn't have one for myself Okay, so here we have it We are opening the cobra hiss construction set And I have no idea how this is going to go so Let me figure this out. Sorry to move in the microphone Let's see if I can angle this down There all right, I'll try to keep this In frame as much as I can but oh that makes it hard to read Doing good things for the show. Thank you. Hey, it's Sean Beckett. Hello Sean Beckett Um, and uh, yeah, okay. Sorry though that that's all right It's hard to read that way, but I'm trying to keep this in frame so you can actually watch me assemble So there's that We've got some stickers Including the the seven eight eight sticker And we have some instructions All right, so how does this go? So in only 300 easy steps We will create A his tank so I guess we start here. All right, so For me, I'll try to open this stuff without like Crinkling the plastic too close to the microphone Hold on need ship. Okay There Are all our pieces Oh, um, I see a super chat. I can't read it. Uh, Josiah. Thank you very much. Uh, f l 80s parents were over protected after Adam waltz. Oh, yeah, yeah That's a very good point um Okay now All right, let's see if we can do this Put these out of the way for now All right, so I need What That's interesting. Okay, so it looks like I need one of these No, I need two of these Okay, I got two of these Oops and then one of these That's an odd way to do it. So If you need a flat piece this wide, why not just make a flat piece this wide? Why combine three pieces? I don't know. I I'm no expert Okay, so I need now Two of these And Two of Something that I can't find let's see Not that one Hey, hey, hey Real treads before the haz lab Check that out the construction set You know Uh, scooped the haz lab for real treads Okay So that and one more of those Real treads, man Okay All right, okay got it. So how does that go? Okay, it goes like this It goes like this right? Yes So that goes together See because they designed it this way You have to have extra pieces To hold these pieces together Oh, those that's not the right piece then Those that's too one. Okay My mistake. It's got to be a shorter one So there should be another one of these in there Uh, let's see There it is, okay Is it? No, that's too short. Uh, let's see. Let me let me let me group some of these together Make things a little easier for me in the future Is that it? Yeah, that's it. Okay found it that goes like that Come on there and Oh There we go. Okay. So there's that Uh, what next? Okay, next is Let's see I think that one and okay, so I need two of these and Well, what's the difference? Okay. All right. All right. I think I think I've configured it out, but I need two of these two of these Okay Not that one Not that one I'm grouping these as I go All right. Oh, I see. I see. Okay. So two of those chip Oh handful of chips Yeah, I'm still looking That's it, isn't it? Okay there So there should be one more of each of those there's that one There should be one more of those. Let's see. It's a small one But I'll find it I apologize. It's what the screen pointed down like this. It's hard for me to See the uh live chat, but I will catch up with you guys. I will catch up with you guys. It is vital vital that we complete this his tank So we can Continue our quest for world domination His tank is needed immediately on the battlefield Where is that little guy? I know it's a small piece But I should have seen it by now. I found it found it. Okay. All right. Two of those do those. Okay So what do we do with them? All right interesting.  Uh, okay, and these go here With little Tabs pointing out Yes Like so And these go here I some of the choices. I mean we we're just getting started But some of the choices that they made here seem a little odd to me It's like breaking somebody's up into separate pieces rather than having one piece that does that Is necessarily going to make it a little less stable Um, okay, so we've done that now we need this And uh, let's see not that Uh, let's see. Where is it? Where is it? Oh, okay and one of these And one of it's just like this but longer Just like this but longer. Where is it? Uh, okay This is riveting stuff, isn't it? This is what you all tune in for We still got like 79 people in here. That's amazing. Thank you to everyone Thank you to everyone who has stuck around I'm I'm for serious. That's that's really awesome Okay, so this is what I'm talking about. Okay, so You've got this piece that goes here This piece that is just like it but shorter that goes here To cover to cover this right but now instead of having a solid piece you have it broken up here And that's like a point where it could come apart. You know what I'm saying Like it whereas if this were a solid piece Um, it would be like less prone to like one of the pieces falling off So you have a a split there that is not necessary that is not necessary for the structure And so this goes here that at least makes sense All right next I need Two of these There's one and two Two of these one and two Oh, there's a whole bunch of those, but I just need two right now And then a big flat piece like that Okay, got it So This goes here Just just imagine guys in a few minutes We will have A hiss tank in front of us that we together Have constructed I don't know if you are thrilled by that but you should be I think you should be This this is thrilling stuff You know, like what are your alternatives watching fireworks Watching colorful explosions Poo poo on that We're building a hiss tank Okay, so um, hey next has lab project. Okay This needs to be the next has lab project um, okay, and This piece Which goes like that Or it tries to go like that. Wow. That does not want to go on Oh, man. Okay found. Okay, figured it out figured out it Sort of okay, so there we go It's taking shape Next step I need a whole bunch of pieces so There, okay these two super long pieces I need Two of these. Where's the other one? I just saw it Just saw it. Okay, two of these Uh, okay, let's try to keep them organized organized here those two those two uh, okay, and These two And one of these. Okay. All right, so this is for the next step Let's see how we do it Interesting so the this Goes here. Okay, and these long ones Go here Right Is that right? Something not right Something not right Hold on That that is the way it says to Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. They hang on off the back Okay, I got it. I got it That was not obvious from the diagram But these pieces need to hang off the back a little bit So fine Whatevs other side There and like okay the the quality of these have been mocked a little bit and I do get that but honestly so far This does feel fairly solid Uh, I'm I have questioned some of the choices on how they broke up these pieces a little bit But it's it's holding together for a minute. I I can't complain too much Uh, okay, so what do I do with this bit? I'm not really sure Oh, okay. Okay. I said there there's some extra instructions down here that explain so this goes like this And this all right and then this goes Like that, right? Uh, if I can fit it on man, that is Like I I okay got it got it like I want to put the pressure on it to make sure it goes on firmly Without popping off the other pieces I thank you all for for hanging with me 77 people in here right now. That is nuts. Thank you all you nutty people for being here on this fine holiday Okay All right, okay got it. Okay, so there's that that is step six completed Next So for this one, I've got to turn it upside down I need four of these Four of these I need four of the The two sided ones the angled ones Where are they? Oh, I need one of these. Okay. No, that's not it Where's the yeah, okay, I need one of these And okay one Two I need two more of those Three and Four, okay got it. These are the step of the the pieces four step Huh? Oh, okay. I get it for step seven Okay, oh no, I missed one.   All right. It's on. I don't want to play with that anymore this How do these go? I guess they can go either way There yep there There Nope, absolutely not like that Um Yes, like that. Okay Come on.  So that that's that's the biggest problem right now So what do we have next we have we need this Times two there's the other one and we need these uh These superman pieces Um, and there should be two of those there's the other one. Okay. How does this work? Okay, we got to turn it back over Oh, I see I see at least I think I see Uh, it goes Like this Yes Okay Okay That does not feel solid That does not feel solid at all. It is not solid I see what they're going for I I really do um, but like This is one of those situations where The tolerance may be just off very slightly because it's this needs to This needs to snap on But it doesn't want to okay. I think that's as Ah That is not perfect, but that is as good as that's going to get They pop this back on I do see what they're going for here. I kind of figured this out, but man, yeah You really got to you really got to nail this in order for it to work Okay, that side was a little better That side was a little better Man this okay, this side is really uh, okay To stay on All right. All right that actually completes page one page one completed page two Page two We need six of these little wheels One two three four five and six All right, so they go on It looks like no that they okay, which way do they go on? Which which where's a picture? Okay They don't go on with this side facing in Okay All right this side facing in i'm afraid to pop them on Because i'm afraid like a piece is gonna fly off if I do Wait, it's not that can't be it right That totally is it isn't it Is it really supposed to be that loose it totally is supposed to be that loose. Okay, whatever Whatever man. Oh man. This is uh, yeah, see what that's what i'm saying.  Okay Next step we need the real rubber treads We need the we need what what we need, uh, not one of those Not one of those we need this And Not that Uh, let's see we need one more of these Which is probably staring me right in the face. In fact, there it is. Yeah, okay And we need two just like that but smaller so That is not it Okay Hey, uh, if you see the piece i'm looking for just shout it out Just shout it out shout it directly at your screen We some by some miracle. We still have 76 people Watching that is Amazing I like last time I did this. I think that like this blows away that record. So thank you. Thank you everyone Okay, so which am I gonna do first? I'm gonna I think that it's gonna be more difficult to put these on So i'm gonna do that first So the uh, there are like, uh Um Like slots in the wheels or the bogies whatever for like the little The teeth Inside the treads Now I hope I don't have to stretch these too much because if I do This thing's gonna come apart Yeah Making me nervous Making me real nervous man. This is Okay, all right about got it about got it About got it Okay Okay Let me just make sure it's lined up All right, so there is A working tread on that side dig it Next Same thing the same thing this side You got to stretch it a little bit to fit it over those bogies and that makes me super nervous That something's gonna go flying off of this, but we got it all right Two working treads cool. It it's sort of sort of rolls This is sort of not not a whole lot, but he is fine. Whatever whatever and this hey, this is the um Oh never mind I I don't know what I'm saying Okay Next Let's focus here Uh, all right, so this is the front and for this we need to this needs to go like this And like this so this is a little bit of a departure from the classic his style And is a bit more like the modern his a little bit Um, I don't want to overstate that but I'm just saying that there are some Some differences Whereas ah, dang.  All right, there's that next step All right, a whole bunch of these six of these one two Three That's not it for five and six Okay Look, I I'm no I'm no engineer I'm no lego scientist But I'm just saying this Is this piece right here there this assembly right here very hard to keep on this thing As I put the other stuff on Okay, what else do I need I need two of Uh, not those Let's see these okay Two of these Uh, let's see. Where's the other one? That's not it. That's not it That's not it Uh, it's here somewhere If you see it just shout it out shout it out Don't be shy I need I'm looking for one more of these So yeah, if you see it, well, you know, don't hold back yell it at your screen I if you yell at your screen loudly enough. I can hear you All right. All right. Okay. That's it and then one of Not that these okay one of these okay. All right ready How's this gonna go? All right these go like this I don't know but there we go Like how then really Oh, okay. Okay. I see I see I see so these have got to go How like this Then like this Right Okay So like that This and so basically the same thing on this side Except wait Oh no, it's the the flat side Toward the front so it's got to go this way Flat side toward the front That's what it wants Right like that I think Okay, flat side of the front. Yes, and then like that If I can get it on Okay Wow, 84 people. Thank you for being here. I apologize. I cannot see the live chat right now With my screen tilted down like this, but I promise to catch up with you guys Once I have finished Building this amazing piece This amazing his tank here It's gonna be better than the haz lab tank I mean, I think after seeing this like people are gonna start cancelling their haz lab tank orders How does that go like that? Okay When people realize That they can assemble their own his tank With rubber treads working treads They're gonna be like haz lab. Hell. No, okay. Come on. There we go I I I'm not a lego person. I I don't as a habit collect and assemble lego. So Uh, I Oh, I'm just winging it This thing again All right, how's this supposed to go it goes like that And like rage There Okay That step is done next All right one. Wait, wait, wait, wait one two three four And now the two of these little odd Uh little pyramid shape ones Okay, I can see what it wants me to do and I immediately don't like it Okay, so here's what we're doing. We're basically filling the gaps between these Right You could have done this with one piece on each side, but no instead you have to have eight pieces Which are like a lot more points of possible failure on this Uh Now that came off.  Get on Okay Every time I have to put a piece on there is a risk That I'm just it's that I'm gonna Uh knock another piece off So the fewer pieces I can put on the better Okay, so now this these have to go on these corners And that worries me because If I put any pressure on this piece it is gonna come off So let's see if I can squeeze it on Please Come on, please Okay, other side Ah See this what I'm talking about It is there's no reason to have this as eight separate pieces. This should be two pieces And look, I don't I don't even care what the rules are for lego. This is just This is just unnecessary More possible points of failure just because of that And Yeah, no, I did that, right? Okay Next step next step Uh lots of pieces holy moly, okay, so but it's going to be the turret assembly. So I need two Of these I need one of these I need This I need this And I need one of these All right, is that everything? two One Oh, no one more of these. Okay All right two one one One one one. Okay. We got it step 13 So we got to put this stuff together first So let's try that So this Is gonna go like this These are gonna go like this Okay Okay, so that's that's kind of like the front end and it's supposed to go on right here Okay, so that's the front end Next the turrets for the turret. I need this and this it goes on how Like so Right Wait, I don't know. Hold on. Let's Hold the phone Hold the phone That doesn't look right. Okay, so it's gotta go like this Man, that is not clear Oh, no, no, I was right. I was right in the first place It goes like that Goes on there This one Uh, I believe just snaps on here All right. All right. So there's that And this goes here Right. Yes If if I can get it on without see this what I'm talking about None of these extra pieces That go up here on the top Will help secure this thing Because any downward pressure on this at all Makes it fall off And then and then we got to deal with this we got these Eight of these pieces Along the sides All of which Can easily fall inward Making it hard to retrieve and put back on Genius well done Okay, there's that Next I need Two of these one of these One of These I think it's the last of these pieces I really don't like those Two of those let's see one two One of these okay, so how does this work? You've got this And then you've got like How does this go this goes like that Then like that There There we go And this goes Where Here Okay, so there's that Such as it is These pieces okay well let's do this first This piece goes Here On the church These pieces go here So yeah, you have you have these angles these clean angles On the sides and that's not a bad idea But then you have these corner pieces and the they're not at the same angle Right that they're not at the same angle So you have smooth lines up to a point But then you have it it's it's broken up What's next is that it that is that that entire step? I guess it is next We need the the canopy. I've been looking forward to this Uh, we oh what's Why do I have two canopies? I have that it has two canopies. I don't know I don't know In case one breaks I guess One of these I need two of these I need two of these and I need two one two. Okay So let's put the canopy pieces together Like how like so Like I would be less worried about the canopy breaking than this connector piece breaking But it's on I think Yikes that is that makes me nervous That it always makes me nervous when I have to put pressure on thin plastic and that these pieces are are thin And you do have to put pressure on okay, uh, okay, so If I did this correctly that should pop on right there Okay There's canopy and an extra one for some damn reason Uh Now Okay, I get it. I get it. I get it. I get it. I get it. I get it. These go here Facing front. Yeah like that These All right. How all right. Let me see how these go on. Okay. I think I get it These go on. Yeah, okay. I get it. I get so these go there One thing I notice immediately is that the the turret rotates But the the guns don't elevate One more and I think are we are we now just left with the With the the minifig Do we just have the minifigure to to do now? Ah Okay All right. I think that's basically it for the assembly Uh, so there is your his tank Yeah, we're gonna put the stickers on I still can't see the live chat. Again I apologize, but here's that Um Okay, uh sticker sheet hopefully has the directions the sticker placement Because this doesn't All right, so no guidance on The sticker placement except for other than the the picture On the box, so I guess I'll follow that although, you know I've assembled a a his tank or two in my time So I guess I probably could do this by memory, but we'll we'll try to do it their way Uh, okay How's that like that doesn't work Uh, okay, let me put the figure together first and I'll I'll worry about that. Where's the other hand? There's the other hand Let's put our his driver together. He looks nothing like a his driver But actually I may kind of like the uniform anyway Uniform may still be all right So I believe this should pop on here Maybe good grief I'm I'm sorry the the thing can make me angry sometimes Like putting being required to put pressure On thin pieces of plastic makes me nervous And when I get nervous I get scared And when I get scared that's when mfers Accidentally get shot That does not want to go it it legit does not want to go Um, so this like this piece goes in here Right this piece goes in here legs go on there arms go in here arms Where's the where's the other arm? Where it's for real? Where's the other arm? Look the the was Was he wounded Is he an amputee? Where where's the other arm? I'm I'm serious. Where's the other arm? Hey, did you guys see another arm around here? Did it fall did I drop it? Did I leave it in the plastic? I don't think so. Oh found it. I found it Yeah, it fell If hang on be right back I thought I thought I got shorted an arm there Okay, so the arms go on pretty easy enough come on I Spoke too soon one of them went on easily enough there And then the legs should pop on right here. They should pop on right here They should pop on right here. All right. Um, okay. Who who made this? forever clever I may have to write a strongly worded Uh letter To the president of your company All right, okay. I've got I gotta pull this out Because that's not gonna work What I have to do Good grief I think I may have to use tools This is ridiculous We're down to we're down to using tools All right, let's see So Attempting to do this without breaking it This should Pop right on it. I said pop right on It should It should pop right on Oh, okay. I got it. I got it I got it ah I got it, but that may be nervous that sounded like breaking plastic to me All right, we got it. I hate it, but we got it All right, let's put the hands on Thumb side in Like so Let's put the head on We're almost done guys. We are gonna make it through this Oh my gosh, okay I I thought this looked like he had a red mustache, but that's supposed to be his his mask It would be pretty hilarious if all his tank drivers were required to grow red mustaches Okay, so there's that There is our his driver Very different from the classic red his driver But I I don't know I I don't know that I mined the black uniform And helmet I think that's all right That's all right. I I can live with that. Let's uh, let's set him aside We'll put him in the tank when we actually finish the tank. We got to put stickers on Okay tools what I'm looking for Can never like be at the top right? We can never just be the first thing I see in here Uh, I probably have too much stuff in here. I should take some of this. Okay found it. Okay tool Yeah, I definitely have too much stuff in here. Some of it. You can just come out, but not right now Not right now. All right. Here we go. Uh, we've got a big gi joe Uh logo, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't go on it Let's start with the seven eight eight. How about that start with the seven eight eight And that goes where okay now that goes here All right, that's A challenge, but I'm here for it. I can do this I can do this I'm gonna put it right like that And I think I can get the other side pretty even with it.  Here we go. All right seven eighty eight and this little uh tank symbol Goes directly under it But because they made the stickers both the same It means one of these Will be pain pointing toward the back, but yeah, whatever We work was what we got here. I didn't make the set, right? I I didn't I didn't make the sticker sheet So so cut me some slack man Go ahead and put the headlights on uh, we are this is This is great Uh in uh, okay that cannon came off In in the live chat I would like to know how many of you have canceled your haz lab his tank orders After seeing this and instead you like Looking for this on ebay Because like with this who needs the haz lab tank, right? Uh, the the stickers are all like square cut Because with a black background because it is the lowest possible efforts they could uh They could make these stickers with Okay Thanks for sticking with us 77 people That is cray cray All right remind me to never say cray cray again. I'm sorry That's redonkulous um, okay now these gh7 c whatever that means Goes Under the skirting but Above the treads toward the back Just like that Just like that I do not even know what time it is right now because All of my time pieces are not Uh within the line of sight at the moment. Okay, just like that And there's a piece that almost popped off Okay, now we got like four cobra emblems to put on so that's one two three Where does the the fourth one go in the back? I don't know I guess but here's the thing um Yeah, it wants me to put a cobra sticker right right here But I don't know that that'll fit I don't know that that will fit But let's see. Let's see We're almost done. We've almost made it through this guys like This this is a story we will tell to our children and our grandchildren The afternoon we survived a Livestream assembly Of a his tank construction set. Oh, yeah, it actually says it here decals Uh two vehicles as shown on box and while that's a nice idea the box doesn't actually show The back of the vehicle So it doesn't actually show where this fourth Cobra emblem is supposed to go So That's cute So we need to like talk to Our designers here about about how three dimensions works I'm just popping these off because it'll be impossible to get the sticker on With those on so there's supposed to be a cobra sticker that goes right there But I don't think there's enough room for that. Maybe I'm wrong. Let's see Yeah, we're we're gonna survive this but just barely Just barely It's gonna be the first assembly video with a body count Okay, that that sort of fits not really not very well. It's also not centered, right? But do do I care? Do I care? I don't I'm beyond caring at this point we're like Not halfway through so with with the livestream so man, I I can't get hung up on that. Okay cannons back on and then I can tilt my screen back up And actually talk to you guys Okay There is that It is all it's about 15 minutes from the next break Um, who we got? Hello chad far. Hello fish guys. Nice to see you. Um, hello, tony jackson um Blam blam guns are uh, not apparently. Yeah, that's um Lego has some interesting rules. Uh comic tropes says what kind of gun does the bareness use? Drawing her during the stream today. I don't know if she's well, I don't think that's based on an actual Weapon, I think it's kind of a made-up thing. It's sort of a sniper rifle, but I think some later Later iterations of The artwork may have a different weapon than what she actually came with uh with the vintage figure So I don't I think like a a reference for the for the vintage Accessories is probably your best bet So, okay, let's put Our his driver Yes, yes, I haven't forgotten the mad lips. I haven't forgotten. I haven't forgotten so let's But he doesn't fit Did did I not assemble it right? I'm pretty sure I assembled it right. All right, screw it screw it I'm putting him on the cannon. Like he doesn't have a seat on the cannon Okay, anyway So, um show of hands How many of you all have cancelled your haz lab his tanks now? Now that you know that you can get this Uh, hello lester. Thank you for joining. Hello rexford Um, yes, best cobra thongs in sunbow. Thank you very much Oh, yo, joe never got the bareness. The bareness is a good figure. There's a good figure. So this this is this is what it is Um, it certainly is what it is I did assemble it right. I did Because you can't assemble it any other way But but assembling it this way The figure cannot fit in there The the figure can't fit in there Is he supposed to stand? No, he can't stand either He's but can he recline? No Like but if you like if you try to sit him in Like okay, you can't it it doesn't work Okay, okay. No, no it pops off All right, so so what I'm saying is $300 his tank on haz lab to hades with that I've got all the his tank you can handle right here Um, so that's enough of that Uh, I know it's not I know it's like 15 minutes until break time But man, I'm gassed. I am gassed. I am uh Uh Let's see, um Okay, uh, what we got.  Thank you for joining us again A snake eyes couldn't write his bike. I've got the snake eyes one my my kid assembled a snake eyes one and had some less than favorable comments about that And like okay, I could I could get behind so maybe he can't fit the the cockpit Maybe he's got to be a gunner, right? He's got to be a gunner. There's no spot on him on on the gun turret either So this does it fit on And that like the back end does not have any pegs for you know, riding along the back So The figure is just for looks The figure is purely for looks And it's actually not a bad figure like like I do actually kind of like the colors the black and red I I that's that's fine. That's fine.   So there you go.  So I you can just you can't Play with it exactly And you and like you you you you put it on a shelf and here actually that's what i'm gonna do Check this out. I'm gonna do the one thing that you can do with this I want to put it right there and it with with uh With many his tank driver And uh, and there you go I have now demonstrated the entire function and stills for some reason. I have a I have an extra Canopy, but you know what this makes me think of you remember in the last starfighter You know the the alien guy What do we do? We die Remember that guy. That's what this reminds me of From the last starfighter Um, but it comes with two canopies Um, so if I get hungry later, I'll eat this one So how's how's everybody going? Uh, uh, yeah, robert. It's um Can you stick his torso on the turret or in the cockpit plug him in without like The problem with that is the arms You cannot put the arms in a position Where um, he is torso isn't up too high To hit his head on On the canopy So the problem isn't actually the legs. The problem is the arms You'd have to take the arms off and like I guess you could hey you could fit the arms in there Yeah um Yeah, the ha the extra windshield is the has lab tier two unlock. See there you go preview of the has has lab Stretch goal right here There you go That's genius peg warmers. Thank you very much Yeah, about 10 minutes. I'll take a I'll take another break Uh, and I think hey, I think that means we will be at the halfway point. Oh my gosh We've out made it the halfway point um Yeah, I busted out the new england gear.  There we go. Um His sms crimson strike uh con uh, I that it sounds like a part of a conversation that I missed but yeah Uh, can you defeat zur and the codon codan armada?  Yeah Um, and uh, we don't know I I think the has lab hiss will hit all the tiers. I mean it's on pace to do that Um but um Yeah, no lego hiss. Hey, you know If you need to kill maybe a half hour hour or so you like you jump on it, you know Hey, I I killed You know what what like an hour There is some value in that so hey like not a total loss and like The box looks nice That's pretty good looking box So check out this box of a his tank that looks nothing like the one you get in the box Well, you get a picture there But the artwork looks like it doesn't look like the artwork and look it it features characters in the box arch That looked nothing like the one that you get in the box But hey the artwork looks it looks nice. It looks nice and it's got um It's got like a picture a cross cell for the other options and later tonight We will be assembling The rattler I have that here. It's it's a big box It's this one's a big boy This one's a big boy right here So, yes, we'll uh Well, we'll put that together later After after I've recovered from this one um Yes tack last tier unlocked it give us the classified crystal ball that we are all demanding um What was everyone's favorite go-to team of joes and vehicles back in the day? Like if you had a favorite small team on your own Who or what was in it like for me? I put all the camouflage guys together so like stalker with ripcord and um Uh leather neck and I don't know whoever else had camouflage to go on jungle missions Those guys were were like on every mission really Uh, but yeah, like the box Is the box is a is a box It has the gi jo logo on it So they they got permission to do that Uh, so yeah, I gotta I gotta recover from that. What's next on the agenda? I'm gonna take a break It's about break time And then what yes, I I know mad libs. I know I know mad libs I know it's it's on the list, but it's it's later. It's later um at $30,000 or 30,000 k has lab will add Half an asp that literally that's that's very half half asp um Where are we so oh, okay, okay Uh, what time is it? Oh, man, I'm way bad. I'm way behind schedule So Uh, yeah, I guess next I will open the retro baroness and then And then we will do story time Man, I mean I may have to move the the the mad libs up In order to it's but it's six o'clock So the the comic tropes live stream starts in like an hour I think if I if my mathematics is correct So that's part that's part of the show that I can't move around. So what we'll do is we will open this We will do a compare and contrast with with this And then we will um, we will collectively Watch chris's live stream, but for now, I think it is a good time to uh to take a break Um and because I need one Uh, so time out Time for a break I'm gonna put up the sign. Where is the sign? There is the sign I saw the sign over there. I just opened up my eyes and there it was I saw the sign um Yeah, I I know comic tropes, but I insist I insist. Uh, so yeah, I taking a break time out taking a break I'll try to keep the breaks about the break about the same length as last time But my voice needs a rest My whole person needs a rest Uh, but I'm gonna be back And we're gonna rock and roll. So time out. See you guys later. I'm taking I'm taking the chips with me And I'll be back with you. So hang on everyone Now this you may you you may feel see look it just did a trick You may feel like watching a sign that says be right back is boring, but like I said, this is a trick sign This sign does tricks. So keep an eye on it And you never know what it'll do. Just just watch that sign. Watch it like a hawk. I'll be right back Hey everybody hang loose for me breaks almost over Still got a couple things more things to do then I'll sit back down and get things going again Thanks for your patience Let me put some of this. I'm putting some of this stuff away My my table's getting a little cluttered now Okay, okay. All right. I'm about ready to sit down and get started again Okay All right, I think I'm back. I got my barbecue I got my water gotta stay hydrated gotta stay hydrated Well still 64 people watching Did you can't did you did the sign do anything? I'm sure it did. I'm I'm sure the sign kept you well entertained Uh, let's see. So let's uh Let's get started back up here.  I don't know if you noticed I'm getting real old now Uh, where where did I do with my glasses? Um, there's a reason why all of that all that's blurry on the screen right now. I I think I left my Okay, I'll be right back. I can't see anything And we're back Okay, how is everyone? Okay. Uh, what do we got here?  Next We're gonna open Uh, the baroness here. We're gonna open the baroness Um, and then I I'm gonna have to step away for a second. Uh, so I can get The thing that I need for the purpose of of uh Of like guerrilla Watching another youtuber's live stream because that's the kind of wacky thing that I do. I'm I'm a I'm a I'm a Wacky. I'm a wild and crazy guy You know So like how am I gonna entertain you? By having somebody else entertain you Yeah, anyway, so I'm open in the baroness. Um, and let's see. I don't have another hat But I I have this There there we go that's Now I feel not only patriotic But like Like ready for an 80s jazzer size session Uh, so yeah, hold on text Uh Uh-huh Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta Yeah, yeah Just checking texts check checking messages I do have I I have I have a personal life. I do not much of one But I have one. Okay. Let's do this um, let's see, uh Yeah, so I'm a globe try I think all you have to do to be a globe trotter is just to have the sweat bands Like hey, it's sergeant slaughter slaughterhouse. Hello guys. Thank you for your contribution to cobra convergence I encourage everybody again to go and see it I really great seeing you guys. Uh, I know this is strange to you Because it's not a holiday where you are at all, but around these parts It's it's a it's a very important day um It it's it's it's america's birthday. So for america's birthday, let's open the bareness. So i'm for Here's what's coming up I'm gonna actually open this first so I can take the figure out Uh, which end is open Which end is open? Uh, I did put this back in But I didn't retape it right Oh, this is this one's unopened Okay, I'm not gonna open this one. This one's still sealed. So Let me let me find the one that I already have open. Um Time out again I'll be right back, but only in just a few seconds. Hold on a second Here we go We're back. We're back Yeah, so yes, you're gonna draw it. Hey very good. Um, I have not yet used the classified figures as reference for drawings, but kind of would be a good idea because um They have a lot more detail in their uniforms because they're at a larger scale And like take that artwork for instance You were asking about the the weapon that she came with that is not at all Like her classic weapon in that artwork. So they have updated that from time to time All right, so this is my one that has already been open and that I repackaged And I'm just going to take the figure out And I'm gonna unfortunately unfortunately do that too close to the microphone Foiled by sticky tape. Oh, thank you Josiah Uh the slaughterhouse where gas is a celebrity gas should be a celebrity Gas gas is like he's everywhere and he's he's a really cool dude So I don't know if you're here gas right now But gas has been a supporter of the channel for a long time as I like the guy So yeah gas should be a celebrity Um Yeah, so here's this Um, this is the baroness that came with the Cobra coil Cycle I'm not going to take the cycle out, but I'm just going to compare the figures themselves Not the accessories and stuff But there's that Um So this is this is This is our gold standard. This is what we have to Measure against this Is an excellent baroness figure. This is a great baroness figure. I love this Uh, this I think blows away the movie baroness with all respect to the movie This is awesome. This is great. So this Is based on it Same mold, but there are going to be some updates. So let's open it This is one that also got slightly damaged in shipping and once again, I need to remind everybody. Hey, there's gas Cheers gas. Nice to see you here. Thanks for being here Um, this I did not purchase this this was Sent to me by hasbro. So um Maybe that makes me completely biased Uh, who knows You know, I play my cards pretty close to the vest. You never know What what's going on You know between these ears But uh, but just for full disclosure, I did not purchase this. Oh, thank you gas You knew gas was here. Uh, here's someone. Yes, of course gas is always here Well, I probably even when there's no live stream going gas is like here Just somehow he's just here But but that's okay. We like gas we like gas gas a good guy Okay, so once again my my two dull knife that I need to sharpen We're going to cut this off again Well, let's look at the package first not not, um Uh collector friendly packaging you do have to Cut it off of the package to To get the figure out you can't put it back on But it's got modified vintage artwork artwork here And this is the selling point of course for the the retro Figures is the retro style packaging. That's their selling point, right? On the back we have the cross sell I wonder I wonder who these guys could be Who who could that be who knows? But yeah, we got the bairness and we got bairness and lady j there We've got the file card and of course It's in like one two three four five languages This is the problem now If hasbro does file cards Because they are not changing the packaging for different countries Which means that they are going to include all of the languages on one file card and that sucks um I kind of wish they would do the file cards in a different way And like this one. I think good thing about the super seven figures is that they they don't do that They don't have to do this So I mean on the one hand, it's nice to get file cards On the other hand, this is what you get So you decide if that's If that's what you want, but I I would like to see file cards as inserts Rather than on the packaging so you can just do multiple ones like do one for each language rather than like this But then this is supposed to be the retro style packaging So they want to print the file card on the package. So it's a catch 22. What are you gonna do? But anyway, so there's that No idea who these mystery figures could be Can you guess?  I'm gonna Do this Carefully There we go I didn't need to sharpen this knife If you ever interview that has routine ask them about the file cards, see that is that's a good point That's another question that I would like to ask them And I don't know if if they want to be asked that question. This is why I like I don't know if I should interview them because I would I would have to ask them all the questions that they probably don't want to be asked um But like that, but that's the thing I want to know the answers to these questions. That's why I want to ask So, uh, yeah, I don't know. So here here we go The blister is free from the card. So there's the card without the blister Setting that over here Getting a little cluttered around here. So here is the Good lord, okay There's the outer uh shell here is the The figure stand it is similar to the 25th and 30th anniversary figure stands the modern four inch figure figure stands except It does not Have the character name on it It has the cobra it has the pegs But it does not have the character name printed on the stand like the older ones did So there's that Here is the figure and the accessories Uh, let's take those out How shall we take these out? I'm gonna take the Rifles out first That's interesting Huh, okay, that's interesting this. Oh, you know what? This was the one that came with the cobra trooper, isn't it? Where's my cobra trooper? I'll see I'll see if I can find the cobra trooper Um, all right. I think I could safely take the figure out now One thing that is immediately noticeable On this In comparison with the other one, there's the figure we will look at it is the the glasses are removable They were not removable on this one, which I think is a a good thing Because like something this small is going to get lost like instantly Saves of a few pennies not putting the name on the stand of absolutely There's no question about why they do it I'm just pointing out that that's what they're doing. But I I don't think there's any mystery why um, so Uh, I'm gonna very carefully remove the glasses from the packaging So yeah, yeah, look at this There are the glasses Now I will say this is fairly solid plastic. Uh, it does not feel like it's gonna bend or break. So that's nice That's nice. Uh gas says looks better without the name on the stand to me and that's fine that Uh, you absolutely can have your preferences. I actually don't really have a preference either way Um, I just want to point it out. So you are aware So there are the glasses Um, here are the two pistols Before I get too involved, I want to see if I can find my cobra trooper because Okay, there's one of the pistols Because I think that rifle is from the cobra trooper And I if it is I want to point out something about I think both of these are okay The two pistols are out. Everything is out of this. Hang on. I think the trooper is right up there one second one second My area is getting quite cluttered here time out. Be right back. Um Oh, yeah, yeah, um Yeah, say face the stand backward if you don't want to see that. Yeah, I like, um Like I I really don't have a preference. I In fact, I I'm just glad that it comes with figure stands You know what the standard issue classified figures don't come with they don't come with figure stands at all So this is whether it has the name on it or not That's a bonus that This figure Does not come with hang on a second. I gotta I gotta see Time actually stay right there. Stay right there Right back. I just need to see Okay All right, there's the cobra trooper because two of these weapons come from The cobra trooper Okay, so let's let's put this Figure together first. Let's put the glasses on and I immediately noticed something that like That probably is all right. This is the original. This is the new one. Okay one thing that is um Probably on the original but isn't very noticeable is the the The slots for the glasses on the face On the side of the head. You see that? So that's where the glasses are gonna slot in and hopefully Hopefully it will hold in well now doing it that way May very well help the the glasses stay on which is good but what that means is It's you can't really display it without the glasses because without the glasses she has these Dents in her head so Come on Okay, like I don't mind if it's a little bit difficult to get on. I just want it to stay on With something this small. I do not want it to fall off. I want it to stay on really solidly Right exactly peg warmers. Uh, if you display her without the glasses, she's got dents on her head And and like I said this one probably does too, but the glasses are not removable. So you won't see it Yeah, final tier for the his tank give us figure stands for all the previous figures. They've released without figure stands Uh, so there you go. Is that is that on well? That's that's as good as I can get it So there there's her glasses sexy glasses Yeah sexy librarian look There you go, uh the pistols like with the other figure go in this holster in the back So, let's see. How do they go? It's with the grips in yeah With the grips in like that because like in theory She's gonna reach back like that and she's gonna reach back like that and pull the pistols out But that doesn't work But that is the way it's supposed to go isn't it? No, okay It is supposed to go with the grips out. Okay, that's It's not shaped that way, but we're it it works That that works better. Okay All right, there we go so all right On the pistol belt grips out There we go. She's gonna reach back Whip that pistol out shoot you with it Okay, so there's that and then we have these two Rifles here Okay, so a long sniper rifle and an Assault rifle laser gun whatever Um, the reason I got this um This trooper out. It's because it looks like both of these Yeah, whoa, whoa Something fall. Yeah, hold on Oh the knife. Where's the where did the knife go? Ah Okay Yeah, all right, so I've got to find my cobra trooper knife hang on Well the tape didn't cover him Okay, no, I don't I don't want to get caught up in that. Okay, but I do also not want okay found the knife found the knife okay, so I'm going to attempt to pop these out Oh, wow, they are identical aren't they? like they're not even There's not even a color difference This is the one that came with the cobra trooper. This is the one that comes with barenice and it is a straight reissue but There's kind of an issue with that. I'm going to get to it. I'm getting to it. I'm getting to it Hang on Hang on I'm getting to it. There we go All right, so there there is the cobra trooper sniper rifle And there is the barenice sniper rifle and they all they at least to my eye They look identical. No, there's a slight difference Oh, that's a very slight difference But hang on. Okay Now I got to see something I got to see something See that doesn't work Okay, here's my point. Let me pull the figure out Here's my point. I have a point stick with me. I've got a point all 72 of you Stick with me. I do have a point. I got it. I just got to take this trooper out Come here. I'm trying not to crinkle the plastic near the microphone. Okay Please nothing else fall out of there. Okay. Here's the thing All right, this is the trooper. This is the barenice. Oh, there might be like a very slight difference in like the finish If there's any difference, it's very slight, but that's not the that's not the issue All right. All right. So on for the true for the cobra trooper On the back of his vest. He has These two holes and those two holes are for these pegs On the rifle. Okay So he can peg his rifles On his back, but of course like only one at a time because the the holes are too close, but the point is he can Uh, maybe he can do both. Let's see That one there Yeah, he can hold both. Okay, so you can peg the rifles On the back All right, so that's on the trooper. So these were reissued for the barenice And they still have The pegs right they still have the pegs and I'm looking on the figure And the figure does not seem to have anything to peg them to She does have Palpatine 1975 says good morning. Good morning to you. Thank you for being here Uh, yeah, six inch figures shouldn't have big pegs on their guns.  So that is the only place I can see on this figure where you can peg The weapon on these figures, but the weapons still have the pegs and the pegs are a little bit unsightly that is That don't look right So like I understand I understand we are reissuing things. We are not creating any new tooling I understand I look I I think I honestly think that the like hasbro's frugality is like a cultural thing from from new england. I it's uh It's something that I see in in some of my new england friends. I I get it. I get it you know But but but it's got pegs It has got nothing to peg into So that's Weird Okay, so there there's that So now let's uh, let's let's Let's let's do this. Let's put Okay, let's put the weapons in the the hands if we can But because this has Kind of a closed grip there It's going to be a challenge Let's figure this out Figure it out. Let's let's get it on Fortunately the hands are bendable and kind of stretchy. So You should be able to bend the fingers around it. I say that But I'm having a have oh, we got it. I got it. I got it Okay, so there is the sniper rifle and honestly it this is sort of reminiscent of the Baroness Uh version one weapon. Uh, it's sort of like a cross between the baroness weapon and the Cobra troopers weapon because it's much larger Than the cobra troopers version one sniper rifle And the baroness's original weapon was oversized So let's put the other one in the hand Let's get it. Let's put the whole thing together. Let's put the whole thing together and take a look at it Let's let's see it Let's see it all together Let's see the baroness in the all together Hello, Yorktown Joe. Thanks for being here. But without the pegs, how would they, uh, rack to the side load of the nerf darts. Yeah, that's Thank you for bringing that up some of these classified Joe weapons are based on Nerf designs Which Is a little amusing Um, yeah Yeah, so there there's that Uh decided to draw her in more of her animated form. That's a good choice She looked good in the animated series. That is awesome And thank you tronkomic tropes for for for drawing the baroness and for everything else you do So there is the figure completely assembled on her stand With the pistols in the holster with both of the weapons and yes, they're pegs sticking out So There you have it now i'm gonna i'm gonna take the weapons out of the hands Because I want to do a side-by-side with The first release baroness figure the one with the coil motorcycle So let's do that I guess I can leave the pistols in although like I did not get the other baroness's pistols out but But that's okay. Let me hold on. Let me let me take a gander at this That's that's really interesting Okay, all right Okay, like one thing that I notice is They're actually pretty close Um, that they're actually pretty close really Um side-by-side So some differences, okay On the sorry on the original The first issue There are some subtle paint applications In like a really dark gray on some of the panels of her uniform Okay, so that's a really nice subtle color change on there, which which I think is great That's awesome. It's really really nice attention to detail on that And yes chad no backpack no backpack on it Um, and that's not the case on this one. So For this it's all black and it's like uh alternates between a matte black and a glossy black That is a bit more like the vintage figure the vintage figure was all black with really just the the red cobra emblem on the chest Um So you do not have the the subtle color differences That you had on the the first run and There's no paint on the buckle on her belt That is red On this It is just This black plastic color on this one Um, also as mentioned before glasses removable, but like Yeah, they they they are the same glasses, but On the first figure The glasses the frames have Some gold on them Little spots of gold not so on this one But it looks like the same piece. It's just like Um, these glasses are not glued in Whereas these are these are not removable So, uh, yeah, this honestly The figures are are really close And if you missed out on the on the Beariness with the coil motorcycle, this is an excellent substitute You're getting very nearly the same figure Not the same accessories. Um, the original had gold pistols These just has black pistols the other one had a variety of different weapons Which is the best that's a fair question comic tropes. The the original is still better Uh, the original does have okay the reason the original is still better Is because it does have the extra bits, right? It has the extra on, um On the glasses It has the subtle color changes, uh, color differences on the The uniform It has the paint on the belts And if you add those up, it's not a great difference. It's not a huge difference, but it's a difference So if there's a better one, it's it's got to be the first one Right, it's this this is a fantastic Beariness figure. This is a great beariness figure. Um But this is also really good So absolutely if you missed out on the first one You'll probably be pretty satisfied Uh with this one Some of the earliest promo art those gold spots on our glasses were little snakes. See that would have been nice That that would have been nice The detail on that may have been so small that you might not have been able to see it even at this scale but still, you know Nice little nice little detail there Um, we'd like to see them use the comp chip figure stands like the star wars episode one figures Oh, yeah. Yeah. I know what you're talking about Uh, use lines from the sunbow cartoon that that would be clever. Actually that that would be I think I think some folks would dig that How do the faces compare here? Here are the faces side by side It's uh the Man, they're really close Like they're there. I think there's a subtle Uh difference in the skin color like the the new one I think has Very slightly lighter color skin almost unnoticeable Uh, like the the makeup appears to be the same lipstick is the same the hair the hair piece the appears to be the same And obviously the mold is the same but they're using the same tooling They're they're they're trying to to update this as little as possible Right, so they're they're not wanting to change very much and they sure didn't change very much Um, but there you go. They're the the two side by side Isn't it wild that the vintage like never had a second bareness that is true But if the line had continued to 1995 it had if it had not been canceled in 1994 There was going to be an updated bareness figure. In fact, um, I mentioned on the previous livestream at joe fest when I went to see um Dan clean and smith and get one of his books. He had a prototype of the Second version of bareness with him and I we got to see it me and a another guy that was at his table So, yeah, there was a planned bareness uh, but um But but it would never released because the line was canceled Uh scarlet was the only female with more than one version I think yeah, uh because scarlet had the ninja force Uh cover girl did not get a second version the bareness did not get a second version Zorana did not get a second version Uh, so yeah, uh, but there was going to be one It just never never got out Uh, so so there you go. There's a side by side. I do still like the first one better, but But like I said, this is this is good. This is an excellent substitute They're starting with um With a great figure to begin with so it's like They're starting with a good foundation And like I said, if you missed to the first time around And you don't mind getting it without the motorcycle This is great This is great So that's awesome Uh, so what's what's not awesome again pointing it out Giant pegs on the on the weapons um non collector friendly packaging uh Truncated text on the file card So that they can do five different languages on it Yeah, but like the artwork is pretty good Based on the vintage artwork, but updated not exactly like the vintage artwork, but uh, yeah, so that's That is the retro Baroness six inch figure And what time is it it is 642 it is going to be time pretty soon ish um to raid To to raid uh chris's livestream, but to do that I want to get my Uh, my tripod for my phone, which is should be in My backpack, which is in there. So I'm going I'm not taking a break Actually, I'm not doing anything yet. I'm going to set this over here I'm going to put my cobra trooper back In his box I'm going to go get my tripod out of my backpack uh, and then we are going to uh You know, I I did not ask chris permission to do this And I feel kind of bad about that um Sorry Sorry um And I would say hey like it's a great promotion for for comic tropes and like comic the um The the second channel chris's second channel, which not as many people know about but honestly A lot of people already know about it Uh, it's cobra time.  Hey bart you missed the baroness You'll have to roll that one back But I'm I'm trying to put my cobra trooper classified guy back in the packaging And I'm gonna have to get some oh, hey, I've got tape like and there's tape within reach There is tape right here. So I can tape these stupid accessories back Yeah, I I I wanted to make a point and show something from the cobra trooper That was relevant to uh, this uh This baroness figure But when I opened it everything just went flying Uh, so let's put these back I could say oh my god. I can't I mixed up the uh The trooper and the baroness accessories, but they're basically the same There's nothing to mix up there Okay, that one's in That one's in That one is On I'm gonna tape that down I remembered something that I wanted to talk about so Uh, we know that hasbro is moving away from plastic in their packaging They're going to no plastic packaging And we I was saying that like it depends on how they execute it, right? Well, we've seen some of it now We've seen a little bit of how they're wanting to execute it and I did have some thoughts about it Um Now I guess I won't go into too much depth, but like the the vehicles The tiger force duke with the the tiger Tiger force ram motorcycle I think that looks fine. I think we're pretty used to getting um Just artwork on vehicle boxes like look at all those, you know, that's That's what we got, you know, that that was pretty standard for Vintage vehicles Kamakura though The figure that they've shown I like Part of it's just like I'm not a fan of that style of artwork And I might like it better if it if it if the artwork were different um on the other hand like the adam riches artwork for uh for Sergeant slaughter does look pretty good So I'm trying to withhold judgment until I can actually get a proper sample to judge with I am not a fan of the kamakura box But the sergeant slaughter box may be fine Oh, uh, donnie says, uh, hey team. Hello from the uk. Hello uk from the united states Thank you for, uh, our independence. It wasn't necessarily voluntary, but thanks anyway Uh, thank and thanks for being here. That's awesome. Oh a cobra cobra island is back too. Thank you for being back Um, and it is like I'm not going to take a break exactly um You know, I just like having this be this uh baronist figure out here So I'm not going to put this back in the box right away. I'm just going to hang on to it for a while um, and then I'm going to get my tripod for my phone we are going to uh Kamatrope says Man, it helps if I put my Where are my glasses else kamatrope says something Um, I think the alibiper had some of the best art. Yeah, alibiper art is good I haven't been able to get to that yet But uh, but I would like to look at it But the classified series it does not have a unified art style They use a different art style for each character and that can be okay. That can work But that what that means though is that the art styles are very uneven And most of us have some kind of preference for like what kind of art we like And what that means is that some of it you're going to like and some of it you're not um, so There's that And yes for me some of it I like and some of it I don't like this is pretty good. I like this Like that that's not bad But some of the the the simpler artwork the comic book style artwork the line art Uh to do something like that you've got to add some detail to it So it's artwork that would be fine for the an interior page of a comic book Is not necessarily fine for A package that's trying to sell the thing that's in it like you've really got to make that look good So yeah, um sergeant slaughter is a San Diego comic con exclusive, but will be sold on Hasbro post everyone. That's correct. Yes And uh They they have shown off some of the artwork for that And I think it looks good. I really do and I'm I'm I will be getting the sergeant slaughter figure That is one that I will not miss so So yeah, so I'm just going to keep this bareness figure around because I like it Uh, but I need to take like a A 60 second break So that I can go get the stuff I need for the next phase Of this 12 hour livestream. We are more than halfway We are more than halfway.  Just chill just for a second. All right Here we go and uh to anyone who was curious, which is exactly no one Um dinner is in the oven. That's one of the things I did on my last break is I put dinner in the oven So here we go. Uh, all right. Let's uh Wow, I really can't read a damn thing without these now like this. That's what age does to you um All right, uh Uh, Jeff Butler, I don't know if I've said hello to you but hello and welcome to the show um Cue music on hold. Yeah, see that's that's what I need. I need music Okay, so I've got I've got this That my phone fits in and like if I Wanted to record a vlog or something. Uh, this is how I could do it, right? But I'm not doing that what we're gonna do uh is We are going to um, I think it needs to go this way. We are going to uh, watch Uh chris's livestream Um Without without his permission. He could be very angry with me. He could be very upset um, but But I you know I I'm a wild and crazy guy You know, I I am untamed It's not it's not exactly a selfie stick. It's it's a tripod Uh, but I guess you could use it for that it actually does. No, it wouldn't work very well for that At all because it doesn't tilt that way it it doesn't It actually wouldn't make a a very good selfie stick. Um But uh, yeah, so I yeah, I'm I'm wild and untamed Oh, I have I'd see now. I I have comic tropes as permission. So now I don't want to do it Like if I'm not being a rebel Then then what's the point? But I'll do it anyway. I'll do it I'll do it um So yeah, so when that when that gets rolling we'll get this going but I can't put it there because like the The reflect I gotta I gotta put it somewhere where it won't reflect That's gonna be I'll figure it out. I'll figure it out I'll figure it out Um, I thank you match. Thank you very much um He's putting on a shirt that I'd wear that's interesting. Okay intriguing. I am intrigued Um, I'm I'm wearing my workout clothes I did do a 5k this morning in the case of those of you missed it. I I Did an unplanned 5k this morning You know just being there for a moral support for a friend And she's like, hey, why don't you walk with me? So I did and I wasn't planning on it. So I did I did an unplanned 5k Uh this morning Um, I I know of nothing else to do with this. I know of nothing else to do with this extra canopy Um Yes, I'm a loner dotty a rebel I'm a rebel without a clue um Yeah, what you got? Yeah, obviously like I'm one of those long-haired hippies, you know I I just have it out for society I mean you just look at me Just look at me and you can tell That that I am a social rebel and I've got it out Uh for society.  I was like, oh, okay, sure um So yeah, I got up when my alarm went off I went uh out there for moral support, right? I was just gonna stand on the sidewalk and wave Um, and she was not running because she had her kid in a stroller. So she was kind of pushing the stroller And then she sends a message says, hey, why don't you walk with me? And I'm like, okay, okay Sure, like you're like half a mile up ahead But sure I'll catch up But but I did catch up and then we walked the rest of the way. So yeah, I did it I did an unplanned 5k this morning Uh, it was hot Hot and humid, but I survived barely I barely survived Uh, yeah, I'm just keeping oh, yeah, I just noticed another thing like the the paint The rings on the straps on the boots That is not Not on the new one. So yeah, just those small little things They cut those paint applications. No doubt saved them A few pennies per figure and Hasbro's always about that Um, I just I just like I just like this Baroness figure. I'm gonna I'm I'm keeping it here That is an excellent Baroness figure and I tell you like I mentioned before I didn't know that if I was gonna like the classified series I really just got it to be supportive Uh, but then when I got them in hand, I ended up really liking them And this is one of the figures that really sold me on the classified series. This is a great figure Um Let's see, uh, uh, Cobra Island, uh, my cat Alexa was a surprise guest in my c66 Video. She is such a divi diva cats do that cats See my daughter was staying here for a while my oldest daughter and she brought her cats That's a mama cat and three kittens. So four cats and um Yeah, cats um Adorable little fuzzballs Certainly, but also destructive little fuzzballs Uh, also, I'm allergic to them, but I'm allergic to cats and yet I have lived with cats for Many years. I mean, I don't live with one now the cats are gone now, but but I have lived with cats for quite some time Um, but yeah the cats. Yeah, they they just have their own way. It's like I'm I'm walking here now I don't care that you're shooting a video. I'm walking here Uh, anyway, so yeah Um, I'm just I'm I'm keeping the Baroness right here Because I like this figure, but that that is one of the figures that really sold me on the classified series It's a very solid figure A great rendition of the Baroness and really kind of add some of the detail that Uh, that you can get at the six inch scale. That's harder to get At the three and three quarter inch scale. It is time ladies and gentlemen. Let me let me get the pros and cons up here Chris's Livestream if I get any messages on my phone They'll have to wait So if you're watching this don't send me any messages.
