Hey, how's it going? What if I told you right that if you could generate $30,000 more without paying Facebook or Google any money for your ads, right? This sounds really sexy, right? But it's actually not, it's actually very not sexy. This is email marketing. Okay, so I'm going to teach you everything I know and everything you need to know about Clavier, about email marketing and how to use this tool. And basically, if you're running e-commerce Shopify or basically any e-commerce platform, right? I think Clavier is definitely the best email marketing tool at the moment. And I'm not biased just because I use the tool. It's like, it's seriously the segmentation stuff is very, very deep and advanced. So I'm going to show you a few things that you could possibly do as well and show you a few results that you can drive. Okay, so I'm just going to go into my screen right now and I'm going to show you. Okay, so these are, this is like Clavier e-commerce tutorial. And these are the things I'm going to teach you today. So I'm going to teach you everything about campaigns, flows, templates, lists and segments, integrations, automations and workflows as well. And I'm going to show you exactly on screen as well. So you can see exactly how the dashboard looks like and see whether you want to use it for yourself in e-commerce as well. Okay, so let's start off. Okay, so campaigns, campaigns are basically the non automated manual broadcast sense of your emails.  Those are like manual broadcast stuff, right? The person has to write it out and they send it out to the prospect and the contact one time and basically only sends one time. Okay, so after that period, right? That email is never going to be used again. Okay, so this is obviously a schedule in advance as well. So for example, for big e-commerce brands, right, they are used to sending three to four emails every single week so that you can consistently follow up with the customer. And this is obviously schedule in advance. All right, so let me show you right here. Okay, sorry, wrong. Okay, Safari. Okay, so you can see here, this is the clever dashboard. I'll give you a brief orientation right now. So this is the clever dashboard. And this is one of the accounts that we handle. So for example, on the left hand side, it's very, very organized. Everything here is a button. So campaigns, flows, templates, lists and segments, integrations and stuff, right? So if you scroll down here, I'm on the dashboard right here. So this objectives and performance I'm on the dashboard you can see, right? And then these are just suggestions that clever has also given out. Okay, so here are all the analytics as you can see, and then here are your flows and then here are your campaigns, right? So at one glance, I like this dashboard a lot because you can see at one glance, everything that's happening in business, what is generating the most profit and revenue as well as what is clever doing on the backend as well. All right, and then as you can see the segmentation of the number of dates last year today, as well as you can see what type of other revenue channels is driving as well. Okay, so on the right hand side, like really simple stuff, support blog and as well as the account name as well. Okay, this is it for the dashboard. Okay, so for campaigns, as I was saying, as you can see, right, you can click on the left hand side and this is campaigns campaigns here are everything that you have sent in the past. And just to create a new campaign, I'm going to show you how to do that. Okay, so on the right hand side here, okay, you can see right place order. So how much money this is generated per email. So imagine just by sending emails, right, you could make thousands of dollars, right, fantastic stuff, right? Like not so not so like really sexy right now, right? Like, but the execution one is not sexy, but this is really sexy. Okay, can see right on the right hand side, this blue button, you can press the create campaign. And for example, I'll just put test. All right, so the tech, I won't put anything at this moment in time. I'll just put email. So I'm clever also recently announced like they have SMS feature. So you actually can send out SMS broadcast to your contact list if they opt in, obviously. So that's really fantastic. All right, so you can press create your campaign and afterwards let it load for a while. So your campaign name, who are you sending to? So for example, I'm just going to send to some random list right here. Okay, so use smart sending. Okay, smart sending, you can see, right? If someone else has already received an email in the last 16 hours, right, then do not send them, right? So the contact right won't have multiple email sent to them because they will feel like it's spam from you. So they will not crisscross one another. And obviously UTM tracking is just for your Google analytics and tracking. All right, so save and continue to content. And basically, this is the editor right here. So this is the editor and basically from who from who your subject line preview text and save changes as well. Okay, so in here, there's text based rich HTML and use template. So in this case, I'm just going to use template because it's easier. So I'm just going to use something that okay, let me just put test, save changes. All right, and then use template. Okay, and I can just pick a very, very nice template that they have already used in the past, right? So I don't have to start from scratch, you know what I mean?  And then you just replicate them. Okay, let me show you this is actual the text editor and stuff and how you're going to use as you can see, it's like a drag and drop builder. I like it a lot just because you don't have to think, right? It's very intuitive as well. So all you do is really drag stuff and then you just drop and you can see it's very, very responsive as well. Everything from the text and the size. And I've used other email providers before and it's like very clunky. I feel it's like that the UI is not very nice to kind of edit in color is much better. All right, so you can see here, right? Everything from the image you can start so you can save your templates as well. So you can just reuse your email over and over again, your logos and stuff. And it's really like art class, I feel sorry. I'm in a graphic design class and this is just the software that does this. Okay, so everything from products, if you can drag the products, you can see it automatically syncs with my Shopify store. All right, so very, very simple stuff. Okay, press cancel right here. Okay, social links horizontal can save drop shadow tables, buttons, right? So if I want a button right here, drop it, boom, finish. That's safe. Easy. Okay, so very, very simple stuff. And in terms of designing emails, I think it's super simple, right? For example, if you want to integrate like Canva, right? You design something on Canva, bring it onto Clavio and insert it in super, super fast. All right, very easy stuff. All right, I'm just going to press save content. All right, so that is basically it for campaigns and stuff. So yeah, moving on flows. Okay, what are flows? Flows are basically fully automated sequence flows and templates that so there's like a seven day, seven day sequence and they are for emails that are going to be sent. Okay, examples of it for e-commerce especially, right? A banner card, browse abandonment, post purchase, welcome series. All right, these technical things you don't have to do know at this moment in time. I'm just telling you that there are a lot of flows that you can use. And there's a lot of templates that Clavio has given you as well. So you do have to think, right? Is you literally just execute the thing? Okay, why do I keep opening? Okay, let me see. Okay, so Safari. So let me right now go to flows and show you a few examples as well. Okay, so you can see here, right? They already will show me what I already have, but I'm just going to create a new flow to show you how easy it is. All right, so you can see, you can create flow and you can create some scratch or you can just already use something that has been working in the past. Okay, so I will definitely recommend you to do this just to save time and get things up and running to make more money. Okay, so you can see here, right? For example, a banner card reminders, I can just take this and I'll just put test. Okay, I just put test and then the text I put nothing and they'll give you a flow immediately. I press create flow and I'm already in the email template editor. So super simple with like what three clicks of the button, I've already gotten like a two email sequence and I just gonna build this sequence out. Okay, so you can see here, right? This is automation workflow and on the left hand side, you can press email SMS update profile. So if I drag, you can see, right? If I drag it email, it's literally drag and drop super easy, very nice. Okay, SMS, same thing, update profile. Okay, time delay, time delay is basically the interval, the time interval between emails. So you can just see, just if I drag a time delay in between here, yep, and there we go. Okay, so in this case, I don't need two time delays, that makes no sense. I'm just gonna delete the time delay. All right, conditional split is also you give it an if else condition. So if you do any programming, right, it's very, very simple, right? So for example, conditional split is for example, I drag in here. Okay, and I select a condition. So for example, if someone is not in this list, right, then, okay, then I press save. Okay, wait, just choose a value. Okay, is if someone is in this newsletter, right, then it's a yes or no, and I can press save, right? So if it's in this newsletter, it'll continue flowing onto this flow, these emails right here. If it's not right, then you just press exit, right? Super simple stuff. And you can see how you can play around with a lot of things. So for example, abandon card, right, you can say if someone has not purchased this at all, offer them a higher discount. You see what I mean? You can be very creative with your flows and stuff. And this is like stuff you can play around with. Right? So this is like email marketing automation. All right, so trigger split, trigger split is like something needs to trigger it. And then obviously, then the, the split will come out as well. Right? So you can choose, you can see here, for example, a shipping rate. Let's see what else you can use total discounts, attributed flow, discount codes. Okay, contains some, for example, you know that this person has used discounts in the past, right? And then you can, can target them to using a trigger split. And then you can, you can give, send them different messaging and email as well. Right? So very, very simple stuff, but also very, very advanced because you can build out your flow to be very, very complicated. Okay. So you can see here, right?  All right. And then you can press on the right hand side as well, show analytics. So you can see how much money is generated from the open rates and click through rates. So like, I like it a lot just because in one view, you can see everything. You can understand whether the flow is working or not. All right. On the left hand side here, you can also scroll through your, your other, your flows so that you actually know, like, and you can jump around the flows very, very fast as well. All right. So that's basically at high analytics and I go back. All right. So that is flows. And I hope that kind of gives you a sensing of how powerful Calibri is at the moment. All right. So templates, what are templates? Okay. I can kind of show you temperatures now, but basically templates are the designs that you can use immediately. All right. Let me show you list and segments, right? So you can segment your audience as well. Okay, I keep opening up from God damn it. Okay. Anyway, yes. Okay. So you can see here on the left hand side, list and segments, you can press that. Okay. So this will be your entire list and you can see all the data from there, from here and you can segment to it. It's so that, okay. On the right hand side, I press create list slash segment. If I want a dynamic segment of it, I select a condition. So if someone is, has done or not done. Okay. So if, if someone has clicked an email at least once over all time, I create a segment and give it a name. And I send specific messaging towards that segment as well. So, okay. Can you see, right? The more specific your targeting is, the higher the click rate, the higher the open rate, as well as higher, higher conversion revenue as well. Right. So very, very interesting stuff. Okay. Okay. So that's basically list and segments. Very simple. Okay. Integrations. Integrations is very powerful because if you are operating on any of the supported platforms, it's very easy to integrate your, your email marketing software basically to your Shopify store or your e-commerce store in any sense. Okay. So integrations here, there's like Facebook ads as well. So you can actually integrate your VIP list. You know that this specific customer segment has bought from you in the past as high, high lifetime value. Right. You can actually put that and put that into an email list and then you can put it and pump it as custom audience on Facebook as well. Okay. Then you can run ads to the audience or create, look like audience from there, make it a very, making it a very qualified audience. Okay. So, yep. You can see here, right? When you reintegrated what a Facebook Mailchimp as well Shopify right here and very simple stuff because like if there's API connection between these two softwares, it's like a very seamless integration, right? You don't really have to think about it and your focus on growing the business. Okay. So you can see here, you can just press update and obviously once you integrate, it's a one click install as well. So integrations, very, very nice stuff. And you can see all the integrations here. They have integrated with other softwares that you can want. You may want to use WooCommerce, ShipStation, Salesforce, Recharge, CRM, Magento. Is that drip? No, that's not drip. Okay. Yep. So a lot of, a lot of other softwares and you can connect via API as well. So very nice. All right. All right. Last thing I'd like to say is like people don't really talk about this because it's not, how I say this, it's something that you don't see when you buy a software, right? It's something you only see when you experience problems with the software. And one thing about Clevver is that the documentation is fantastic. So everything that you ever need to know, right? It's like in Help Center. Help Center is the documentation basically and like if you can see here, I've like Google this a ton of times. And so like all the documentation is there and it's very simple. So you can see here, like click on this article multiple times just because I need a reference back to it, right? And then for the contact wise and the support, contact us, the supporters, although they don't have live chat, right? I will say that email in terms of responding to me, it's fast. It's like we didn't want business day. Okay. So if you are worried about whether there's support, right? There's no live chat in that sense, but there is email, email follow up. So they have an email support right there. Okay. I hope this gives you kind of a sensing. Okay. Last thing I just want to show you one more thing. Okay. Sign up forms, right? So if you, if you're using like, how do I say this? It's Sumo. Is it get Sumo or like privy? Those are things you can just forget about that subscription already. Okay. It's already built in. You can just install the code snippet right there and then you can create the sign up form immediately from here. Right. So you can see here, right? If I want to email pop up, okay, I can press, okay, press create a form, choose the list. Just go choose one list, right? Create a form and I can customize the email pop up, right? Also I can customize it based on whether you land on the page or not. So incredibly powerful customization. I think it's in behavior. Let me see. Okay. You can see here, right? On the left hand side by URL only show on certain URLs, right? So very powerful stuff. When you have a product, for example, if I'm selling, imagine this Kindle right here. If I land on the Kindle product page, right? And then I can put up email opt in say, Hey, are you interested in Kindle? Well, obviously they are, but offer you a 10% discount on this Kindle books when you purchase this Kindle, right? So very, very, what's called specific stuff that will increase and drive conversion as well. Okay. So that makes a lot of sense. Okay. So yeah, blocks, you can see it's literally like the same editor as the email is just that it's just for the form. Right. So it makes it incredibly simple to do. And it's like, it's literally art class. Okay. I keep saying that. But yeah. Okay. And afterwards you can just publish your pop up right here and it'll show on your Shopify on your Shopify store. Okay. I think that's about it. And I think there's one more thing that is very underrated. Okay. Browse abandonment. Yes. Browse abandonment is very powerful because like I said, if all right, if you land on a product page, because Clevew has website tracking, you actually can install like, I think a JavaScript code on your Shopify store.  Right. So there is a flow called browse abandonment where if they actually land on a specific product page, you can send them a specific sequence of emails that work that is in line with that, with that product as well. Right. So you can see here, right? I press create flow. I search for browse. Okay. You can see here browse abandonment. Yep. So basically this flow is it allows you right when someone views a product, when some of you use a product on your store, you can basically send them a specific email to that. So you know that they like this Kindle. So obviously you're going to send them content about about about Kindles and books. Right. So very, very, very like stuff that's like you don't see from outside, but where you actually use it, right? Increases conversion a tunnel, a tunnel, basically. Okay. And because email is going to be your most profitable channel, although like Facebook, Instagram, Google is going to be your paid traffic channels. Right. It's going to be your driving force. Right. But email is going to be the backend. It's going to be the most profitable channel for you in the long run. And that's where you're going to exit and when you want to sell the company as well. All right. I hope this gives you insight about it. Okay. You can see here, right? Okay.  Okay. It's like 10% 10% of the revenue. Okay. This should be a much, much higher percentage, but at this point, not so much. Okay. Because I'm not handling this email all the time. Okay. So you can see here and yeah, no joke. Okay. If you're actually interested, right? You can actually sign up through this link. Yes. Or xg-media.com slash claveo. Right. And so because like we are official claveo partners. So like Nick and Katie is my rep. Okay. So if you actually sign up through this link, right, you just say it's from Jonathan and then they'll take care of you. Okay. Cause they know me already and like we are like work together for quite a while already. So they'll just take care of you when you onboard as well. Okay.

We did start early I thought I would do I tried I'd try to do an extra half hour since I missed last week So I just wanted to start a little bit early just to have a little extra time. So some extra hangout time Let me show you what we got to do in this half hour hour and a half this extra half hour I got I got stuff at the PO box. So we have PO box stuff to to open I will remind everybody that it is much more difficult for me to get to the PO box. I'm actually not Conveniently located near it I Hello cyclones.

So sorry about that But I did check it on on Saturday and and we got we got a little bit of stuff So we've got that so we're gonna be opening all of that And I've got other stuff to open. I've got other stuff. Oh, wow. Where's it? Well, how long I forgot something there's something else that I got Over the weekend and it's not here. Hang on. Um, talk amongst yourselves for a moment. Where's my be right back sign? I thought I had my be right back sign here. Anyway, I'll be right back. Hang on one second. Wait, hold on so pardon me, so I was at the vintage toy mall and Most of the GI Joe stuff they had I I already have that that is the challenge now in collecting GI Joe vintage stuff and and modern stuff is that a Lot of the stuff that they have I already have or it's just stuff that I don't really need is outside the scope of my Collection, but they did have The classified Cobra officer and I didn't have this one. So I got this and I did open it up And I looked inside and I really should have hello stone gate creations I really should have checked somebody else's review video on it because The accessories are a little confusing to me. So But anyway, I'll open that up. So we've got that to check out. I Also, so here's the thing Some of you in here I believe are GI Joe fans You may recognize this guy. This is bazooka And he has he has this number 14 jersey. That is the The old Patriots jersey and number 14 was the quarterback Steve Grogan from 1975 to 1990 He wasn't the starting quarterback that whole time. They they had you know, Tony Eason come in But for a long time Steve Grogan was a local hero to the Englanders So I got what I got was a starting lineup Drew Bledsoe and he has a helmet that that ought to fit this guy. Now. I did get another Drew Bledsoe starting lineup and I already opened that one, but I'm gonna open this one these things are incredibly cheap that I used to joke that that These starting lineup toys the only way they will ever be valuable is if you just Fill a warehouse full of them and then burn it to the ground and then whatever's left That'll be worth something but that that's not entirely true. Some of the early series starting lineup figures are actually kind of collectible, but like this Was incredibly cheap and yes, I'm gonna open it but so yeah, we're gonna put we're gonna put the helmet on On On bazooka here now. It is the wrong helmet, right? Because this is the flying Elvis helmet From I wonder when did they change to about 1991 92 something like that And with this jersey he should have the old Pat Patriot helmet Which which I don't have but we're gonna improvise here. We're gonna put a helmet on On on bazooka here. So I've got that We're not done. We're not done for the For the the first time in a long long time. I actually found Gijo at retail at a local Walmart. I Found the retro Lady J. They also had the the retro Baroness, but I already have the Baroness So I was actually kind of happy to actually find something for the first time in like a year That I've actually found something new that I didn't already have So we will open that and just for comparison's sake. I do have the standard issue Lady J To compare and contrast. So we'll open those and Oh Hello, Christian bricks. Thank you for the passion package Christian. I did open the package in the last Livestream I was hoping that you would be here so I could thank you for it. So I'll thank you for it now Thank you very much greetings Denmark from the United States Always appreciate your support. Thank you so much and one more thing One more thing When I quiz that the close I'm not I'm actually not a complete list on classified There are a few that I I don't I don't have any problem letting go but but I have enjoyed the classified series a lot more than I thought I would I really was reluctant To even start on the classified series But I have to admit once once I actually started getting them Ended up liking them a lot more than I expected to a hello sparkster didn't see you come in there Hi sparkster nice to see you one more thing to open before we wrap up the show in and about an hour and 15-ish minutes I got another One of these micro figures here one of these blind box figures and we have an opportunity to have a chance now To get a gi Joe last time we got a ninja turtle. We got Donatello. I was going to send that Donatello to To Chris from comic tropes because he's a he's a Donatello collector and I haven't yet because I forgot Entirely my fault, but I but I actually still have it right there. So I will be sending that to Chris I'm gonna try to send it to Chris this week, but We have another opportunity here to Get a micro gi Joe Figures, so we're gonna open this I'll probably do that last we'll do that at the at the last part of the show So anyway, so we got a lot of stuff to open. We got a lot of stuff to open We got a lot of stuff to talk about and I did oh hello RTD one and hello Ismail. How do you do? Thank you very much for being here um Let's start with this let's tell hello Robbie Rosary, how do you do? Let's start with this. Um, I got some information From a source that I can't mention it is a source that is outside of the Hasbro hierarchy and outside of the GI Joe brand team, but it's information about who is getting the License for GI Joe and Transformer comic books And yeah, I'll just go ahead and tell you apparently it's been rumored and In the near ish future it should be announced it should it will be Robert Kirkman's image imprint skybound They will be getting the GI Joe and Transformers license And although my source Made me swear not to tell where I got it from I Considered this a pretty reliable source. So We should have More GI Joe and Transformer comics what they're going to do it. I have I have no idea. Yes, Rob That's that's correct But I have no word on what specifically they plan for those titles but But that's what what my source is confirming so So there you go Given how much Larry Hama has worked on it. Of course, I always hope that Larry is able to continue and carry on and do it in some Capacity, I mean he's he's committed enough to to GI Joe that I mean he's earned the right to to keep To keep going if he wants to But but I have no idea about that. I just got from a source that That I believe would know That that's where it's going So, yeah, and yes, it's it's ragtime Rob rack time Rob Why do I keep calling you rag rack time Rob Rob iris area always nice to see an iris area in here So that's that that's the new well, that's some of the news that that's the exclusive news and But we so last week Last week I was I was going to talk a lot about the stuff that was announced at Pulse con Because you know, that's important to a lot of people and then I ended up not doing the live stream last week So now everything everything that I wrote down here about Pulse con is old news So I have plenty of old news to talk about Hello James aka rat face nice to see you. Thank you very much for being here So I guess I mean I guess I can go through this I can get I guess I can go through this There were a lot of of new characters announced new figures announced and also some digital models of Excuse me of of some that they had already announced before Does your sources first name begin with a D it does not it does not The so there are three Characters that they announced in name only they do not have any digital renders So for that reason I don't care very much Uh Yet I I've decided that if they're announcing something that's that's gonna come Uh, kind of come out way down the road Then I will care about it way down the road But they did announce that they will have a snow serpent Buzzer and a female cobra trooper now the female cobra troopers. Um, at least in the four inch scale have been very popular So they need to give us a blonde and a brunette So we can do joe colton and mary mercenary as Female cobra troopers. I think that's essential. I think that's pretty much important Only way you could screw it up Is by not giving us a blonde and a brunette Uh, but the snow serpent is it's a really that's gonna be a really popular army builder Um, I'm a huge fan of the snow serpent and they seem to be like getting through uh the going through the dreadlocks There seem to be working up, uh, the dreadlocks for us. So we've got buzzer now Um, and yeah, I'm a fan of buzzer. I like buzzer Um, they had digital models of rock and roll bazooka torpedo copperhead and shipwreck bazooka, of course They this is the standard deco bazooka the the one that looks like this They had previously done the tiger force bazooka Um rock and roll was very interesting because it's sort of like a cross between The version one version two figure it had like he has like a two tone Shirt and that's that's an intriguing idea kind of a compromise between having like the monochrome that they had for breaker Uh, but trying to freshen it up a little bit and make it a little bit more visually interesting um So, yeah, it he had some really good accessories. So he got rock and roll got torpedo with some excellent accessories um, we got uh copperhead Really funny that they're going with copperhead. That's That's that's an interesting character to to jump on to um Yeah, yeah, uh, so, um Um Yeah, um, let's see. Uh, pinderega Yeah, talking about rock and roll shirt. Yeah, they they did a two. Yeah, they did the two tone shirt And i'm not real sure about it. Um, I think i'll i'll withhold judgment until i see the physical model um the digital render it's um I just don't know with the thing about the the uh original 13 Figures, you know the the 1982 joes is they were In large part very model chromatic. So it's a little bit tricky to to pay homage to those classic figures um, but also update them for The modern collector and for the sixth inch scale Because there is so much more that you can do at six inches than you can do at three and three quarter inches But I really liked breaker. I thought breaker was pretty nice. I really did. Um, so Um Copperhead and then had shipwreck. So they did show a digital render of shipwreck and apparently shipwreck is gonna have um He's gonna have a hair piece with the hat and another hair piece without the hat and um I mean, I don't I don't know that that's I don't know that I need shipwreck without his hat.  He'll have his Pistol his little pirate pistol whatever. Oh, hello, robert. Nice to see you. Thank you for being here Hello, shawn. Um, and anybody else who snuck in here? Hello robin. Thank you for being here. Hello, tony um Yeah, so, um I think it's hard to come up with extra Accessories for shipwreck. So what they came up with is is an extra set of hair So you can put his hair on without Without without the hat I don't think I would ever display shipwreck that way, but maybe somebody will um What that means though, what that means though is you can take his wig off and you're gonna have a balled shipwreck And we know how we know how that how good that looks because we saw that with with lady j. I think that's That's fantastic. Um, anyway, um, let's see. Hello, jason. Uh, nice to see you there Um Uh, yeah, yeah, um, uh, yes. Yes, um Yes, I agree. Uh, jason and hopefully, you know, good things. Uh, hello, diana davis. Nice to see you there. Thank you for being here Uh, I hope the cat is doing well always, uh Want uh want the animals to be healthy. I know we've got a cat that's uh been recuperating um Shipwreck should come with a saxophone and a plaid jacket. See this see if you want to do extra accessories You want to call back a classic? Uh animated episode that you do something like that.  Hello, w w jd 85 88 nice to see you. Thank you for being here. Um The wig is for midlife crisis. Uh mind bender. That's that's funny. Um So I guess for customizers If you want to do something else with the hair you could you could do something because the hair I will come off I guess so that uh creates some opportunities for customizers Um, I just don't think I'll I personally will display shipwreck without Without the donald duck hat So, uh, they also had physical models, uh for uh, uh Or updates they had updates on the his tank. They had fiddle physical models for the gunner uh cober commander and um the The color, I guess we will vote Eventually vote on the color for the early bird figure. Uh, they'll be based on uh ron rudatz color studies Um, they had pre-orders and so forth. These I was taking these notes as as they went So a hello jump in general nice to see you there. Thank you Um, let's see, um Okay, yeah models. Um, they had uh marauders barbecue Uh, so okay, uh before we go any further So apparently they're gonna call the marauders figures the mad marauders now they they have Sergeant slaughter back right they have the license for sergeant slaughter but this feels like Something that The legal department has imposed on them because I don't think I don't think that it was probably The first idea to change uh slaughters marauders To mad marauders when you have sergeant slaughter Uh, and I understand that you know that sometimes sometimes the lawyers make you do that stuff and lawyers are the worst Lawyers are just awful But my suggestion My suggestion uh as if you're in that predicament Just call the marauders. Everybody shortens it to marauders anyway. It doesn't need to be mad marauders. Just marauders is fine Just so that's fine.  Just everybody calls the marauders anyway. Hello jls comics. Thank you very much for being here Um, it's it's nice to see everybody. It really is it really is It's I I really missed you guys. Um Last week. I really did Uh, maybe another nation objecting to slaughter in the way the uk did before it could be it could be exactly that That very well may be and you know that they I mean I mean looking at the ones that we got. I mean they they have all of the languages on here They apparently do not update the packaging for international markets so If if there is a country that's not gonna like them using Uh the name slaughter then they just That's where the lawyers say no Um, uh, hello, uh toys back then nice to see you. Hello paul. Uh, thank you for being here. Hello evan Um, so yeah, I think it could be something like that because they do have sergeant slaughter. They got them Um, but yeah, my my suggestion just just call them marauders. Marauders is fine. No need to Complicate it. Marauders is good. Anyway, they also had the crimson bat I know that some folks are really jazzed about that. I don't care too much about that But they also have falcon. They have the standard deco outback Uh cover girl and serpentor No, I did not get in on serpentor. I didn't jump on it that fast Uh, next they have the selfie series. It's time for us to talk about the selfie series. Uh, hello, uh, jamilin parks How do you do? Uh, wouldn't using his name be another royalty for him? Yeah, I would think so I would think so but I there may be some other legal reason That they're not able to do it um but um Selfie series so Here's the thing about the selfie series. Um, I I I had Set what I considered to be realistic expectations Yeah, I knew that it wasn't going to be Uh an exact likeness of of the person getting the figure, but I felt like it would be close enough um They can do some amazing things with Head and face sculpts nowadays. They can get a subject's likeness very sharp Very close As as evidenced by By the the snake eyes movie figures that are not anywhere near me, but um Yeah, that's what I'm saying. They could just be marauders. Um So so they can get likenesses really well, but when they are doing likenesses Uh of of actors, you know, or whatever other model they're using Uh, they're doing that in a in a in a studio They're doing that with, you know, professional equipment They're doing that with artists that are making sure that it is Yeah, that that everything is sharp and good and I can't realistically do that with with an app on your phone And I get that I get that um And um, I did you know, I did tried a few times and the the image that you're seeing Right there so far is the best that I could get. I haven't ordered it yet I haven't ordered yet. I would like to get um the best possible visage Uh before I actually order one But so far that's the best that I have been able to get and that looks not a lot like me a little bit It does look a little bit like me For those of you, uh, I've seen some folks who are really happy with The the figure that they got they felt like it was a good likeness and and that's great and I I Uh, I I'm like that like that's awesome I would like to be one of those people who is very satisfied with the likeness of the figure Um, so the way it works you that you have the app and you you're like You you do it like that and you turn your head and you turn your head. Uh, and then it analyzes it um, and then you have to use some, um You have to use their library of hairstyles and you know facial hair and skin colors and hair colors to fine tune it So that it looks more like you and That's not a terrible idea in in principle um The problem with that idea I think is that um, the there are There's not enough there aren't enough options for To get these to resemble Most people I think and I think that's my problem is that um, there needs to be there needs to be more hair color options the the hair Grayness isn't quite right. There needs to be more facial hair options The facial hair is not quite right. The shape of the head is actually pretty good I was able to get one where the shape of the head is not too bad But like that's the closest hair in my opinion to my actual hair and it's like it's not It's not parted on the right side or on the correct side um, it's um It's not close enough to me to feel like i'm getting A figure of me So, you know, I'll I'll I'll try it. Um I'll I'll see if I can get it a little bit closer Um, I still feel like I should go ahead and order one so that I can I can review it I don't know if you've heard but that's what I do on youtube as I review Toys and action figures and stuff. So I I should probably do that um Oh, hello codename youtube vera 2 uh codename youtube vera 2 has some new videos, which I've been unfortunately Too busy to share on the social medias, but check out codename youtube vera 2 Hello, and I hope you're doing well. Hope you're healthy and all that so So, yeah, that's um That's that's the the issue that I have with it And I think I will still end up ordering one because I want to actually see the physical item And see how close I can possibly get it um Hipster Santa Claus. Yeah, see But um, but yeah, I I will You know, I I I always prefer to reserve My opinions until I actually see the thing and actually have it in hello. What's on joeman at mine? Thank you for the uh the super chat.  You just missed them You just missed them. They were just on You know, we just had we had a whole thing And he just missed them. Um, so anyway, so that's Uh, that's my, uh, tentative opinion about the selfie series what we will We will uh, we will withhold judgment as I always do as I always do Um, I don't want to prejudge things Um, but my concern is That the technology just isn't quite there yet Uh to do a selfie series. Um That has a really sharp good likeness of the person Um and do it at 60 bucks. I think it was still 60 bucks um I I think that's that that maybe I just it may not it may not be there yet But I don't know I want to wait. I want to wait. I want to get one I want to see it And to see how close we can get But that's that's the selfie series That's the selfie series.  I don't really I don't know from nerf. So I I It's just not my thing.  So It's it's it's it's something It's something. Um, and then, um Um They had interviews with larry larry homa and they had And and sergeant slaughter and I really really enjoyed the sergeant slaughter interview So the interviews the full interviews they have those in separate videos Take the take some time and actually watch those those are are really nice and It's cool that they in the In the time allotted they didn't have the time to actually show the whole interview But um, but you can watch them and Uh, and I think you can never go wrong with catching an interview from larry homa or sergeant slaughter So that's the end of my notes That's the end of my notes Um, and it's and it's uh by my clock seven oh three. So right now We are at what would usually be the start point and we've already been going for a half an hour So say that's that's the extra added value that you get from here The exclusive comic probably Is uh most expensive down the road not the actual toy. Yeah, that's that's actually quite possible because Um, yeah, if that's the only way you can get it that that makes sense that makes sense Uh, yeah, the slaughter interview I thought was really good. I enjoyed that a lot um, so um, so that that's the news That's the new I really should have um Like a teletype sound effect, you know for the uh for the bumper Uh, so that that was less nestman and the news Five-time winner of the buckeye news hawk award It Good day and may the good news be yours Um, hello the truck reviewer. Nice to see you. Thank you very much here um Marketed as the ninja nerf gun. I don't I don't I don't know I don't I don't know from nerf Um nerf gun comes with 300 number 300 with a variant cover exclusive. Yes, that is true and uh and as Codename new to vera 2 pointed out Uh, the comic may be a bigger draw than the nerf item itself So, uh, hello draws. Nice to see you. Hello mcdj acdc. How do you do? Um, yes, we did start a little early because you know, I'm that that's me I fly by the seat of my pants. Um, I'm going to put the I'm out of notes I read all the notes already So i'm gonna put the this uh over here. Oh, hey look I had to step away a second ago and I was saying where's my b b right back sign in this right here um So, uh, we have stuff to open. Oh, uh, hello glenn. Thank you for being here. We have stuff to open um, so uh Once again, I did check the po box and we have Po box stuff to open and then in addition to the po box stuff We have other other other stuff So we'll we'll do that. We'll do all that. Yeah, please don't fall. Thank you Ah Okay, um, so Where was I? Um, so I I haven't seen chris from comic tropes in here But he's been in new york for new york comic con. So we may not see him, but uh, um, but I That's good because now he didn't see that I haven't sent off this donatello yet. I'll send it. I'll send it soon Hello, john booth. How do you do? Nice to see you here. Um Big john 11 year old son clay who loves you. Hello clay. Uh, thanks for being here I'm glad you like the gi joe. In fact, if you like the gi joe, you came to the right place um, so, uh So we did the news we did we did a lot of news. I had you know, I don't want to toot my own horn But we did a lot of news So I guess now it is time To open the boxes. I'm going to start by opening the po box boxes the boxes from the po box and I will remind everybody. Um, I'm not able to check the po box as often Since I moved I'm now not near the post office. I just can't make it there that often Um, I'm not going to change the po box because I want to keep the same address I don't want to cause any confusion to anyone. So it's just easier to keep the address But just be aware if you send anything it's gonna take me a little while to check it But I did check it and I have removed the identifying information from here So I'm not going to broadcast anyone's home address on the internet. That would probably not be a good idea This one though says, um Let's see. This says package two and says open this last and this one is from the same person So this must be package one. I'm guessing this is package one Um, and uh, uh, the third package is from a different person So I'm going to do this. Are we ready? Are you ready? Are you psyched? Uh, so, uh, so thank you to everyone who sent stuff to the po box Once again, you do not have to send anything to the po box. That's absolutely fine Especially now since it's since I can't check the po boxes often. Um, but uh, if you do what I will Do is whatever I get I'll open Um Live on the air like this. Uh, I have not had the time to do like an unboxing video like I've done in the past But I still want to show my appreciation Uh for what you do and for and for you know your generosity. So I will do it in this way. Um, At least for the time being hello space cobra. Nice to see you there Uh, youtube didn't alert you to the stream youtube fails us again Then Come on youtube. How are people supposed to see if you don't let them know that it's going? But I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you made it. We did start it a little early. I started about half hour early Um, so, uh, tony's body is ready. I feel mine is too. So let's open this I'm assuming this is package one since that's package two Um I do have my sharp thing in case. Well, I didn't cut some of the tape for one And in case there's anything inside that I need to open I I did cut the boxes open, but I haven't looked inside. In fact, I cut the boxes open just before we started here So this um, let me read this real quick Okay, uh, so I this is it should be okay to read. Um It's from dio soth.

Yeah, I guess. Yeah, they do. Um, so yeah, so, um I don't know if maybe if we have time this even evening.

That's great. I am I am determined to not lose any of this stuff Okay But it yields off through all the trouble to send something and if I Handle it carelessly and lose it then that's just terrible I would feel very bad about that. So i'm trying to be careful trying to be careful. Uh, and I do need some extra bladed help here To open this one. Here we go. Okay and we have Okay, so this just tells me who it is and to look up videos for how to transform it So yeah, this is another third party um And it's another mic iris airy in disguise Um, that is oh it popped up a little bit, but this is uh, this is kind of a cool trained thing It reminds me of astro train and I I assume that's kind of what they're going for Uh, but he just does tell me that I will have to look up videos on how to transform it Um, but that's this is this is hefty. It's it's not it's not quite as as hefty As the oversized, uh pistol here. It's not quite this hefty, but You know, it's it's it's still it's still it's got some weight to it. It's got some weight to it So, uh diosauce.

They just barely got it going, uh on monday night They did win though that it still counts. Um, so These these were very popular for for a time very popular for a time But you can find these in antique stores and retail shops for nothing Um, the they there are some like the earlier series are worth something that they are kind of collectible But these later series you can you can pick up they may pay you to take them That's how cheap they are. They may pay you To to take them Yes, this toy goes to 11 Uh, it it does in fact go to 11 So this is a drew bled so and I got this actually this the the second one actually technically This is the third one that I got because I'm I'm putting together a pats collection But um, I was gonna put the helmets On our friend bazooka here since he is wearing Uh, the old style steve grogan Jersey the old number 14 So, uh, yeah, I'm this is a vintage toy and I'm gonna cut it open right now Uh, speaking of toys, I've been to a lot and there's a lot of vintage joe and star wars figures. That is great I rarely run into vintage joe and star wars stuff in my area Except at the vintage toy mall because it specializes in vintage toys, but um at most Antique shops. I have not found a lot of a vintage joe stuff and on the rare occasion that I do find them Um, it's almost always stuff. I already have so I I ended up not getting it anyway Uh starting lineups came from gi joe. Um, this Was it I think this was This was kenner, wasn't it? Yeah, it kenner, but by 1996 Hasbro owned kenner All right, so I'm opening drew bled so here for for those of you who Don't know or don't care. Let's be honest.  It's funny. You should ask we will we will get to that in a moment the the answer is sort of So for those of you who don't know or don't care drew bled so was the Uh quarterback for the new england patriots before tom brady Um drew bled so was injured And tom brady took over he wasn't just injured he almost died he had he got hit and um And had internal bleeding he almost died But but he didn't die he survived But then brady played very well and he never got his job back with new england. Um, so, uh, you ask about about articulation Uh, let's see his his head You can turn his head Uh, his arms at the shoulder You can move but the problem with doing that is that he like this figure is in a running pose So if you move his arms, then he doesn't look right. So like yeah, I could move his arms like Like I don't know like like that, but it does it well actually that's not too bad But like he you can move them, but he's really designed to stick in this pose Uh, and that likeness there of of drew it. So so this is the hasbro selfie series version of Of drew brise's face It's not that close It's it's if you squint you can sort of see his face there But these they use the same body For multiple figures. They just paint a different uniform on them Um, and this is like it's it's plastic. It's not like it's not like solid, uh, it's not like I don't know metal or any kind of awesome solid figure Um, it's just plain plastic. It's just plain plastic. It's not exceptionally well sculpted Um, it's not exceptionally well painted Um, it's uh, it is it's cheap It's cheap, but the reason I got this other than you know to pay homage to to Uh drew bled. So who who did a lot for that franchise for a lot of years Uh to to honor number 11 Um, but also For this right here this See now the figure itself Is not in gi joe scale the the figure itself is is taller If I can kind of get so he's he's significantly taller than bazooka here, but Because nothing is in the right proportion um um, yes, um, uh, codename new codename new two ver or two is is correct. Yes, um about uh Um Yeah, hey, that's a good idea. I could get some wine from drew breezes wine I should do and I don't drink anymore, but I might make an exception for that For for bled. So But anyway, so the helmet though will more or less fit on on bazooka now somebody put a chicago bears uniform, uh, I'm sorry a chicago bears helmet on the fridge And that works pretty well This it's a little loose, but it's close. It's close to the same size, but it's a little bit loose um, it's it's It's the right team, but it's the wrong helmet With this jersey Yes, cheapness that's that's the that's the hallmark. It's it's cheap It's the right team, but it's the wrong helmet They they changed the logo and their uniforms in the early 90s But this red jersey is from earlier than that So the helmet should be the old pat patriot helmet. It's the pat patriot on a white helmet Um, they did make those They did make those for starting lineup in the earlier series The earlier series though are expensive and I'm not quite willing to shell out good money for a starting lineup figure just to get A helmet that will sometimes be on my bazooka figure. I'm not quite ready to make that investment But anyway, so I I wanted to I just wanted to show you guys this It's it's I guess a more complete uh bazooka With his uh with his flying Elvis Helmet so so there's that um, I I did get that for myself. It came with these cards with uh, and it had the statistics on them and um and yeah, it's got so blood so was drafted and started in 1993 and um His stats for his first year Not that great Not not that great He got better He got better, but his stats for his first year Not not great not great. He got better though. He he did get better. He got much better So there's that um, there there's drew drew is gonna stay over here for now in in his running pose These things are so cheap. These things are so cheap these things Are so cheap I I'm not at all surprised that It was a fad that faded out These these are like well it's got a little it's got like flecks and bend in it. It's not even like high quality plastic These are so cheap um Anyways hang over try not to Try not to get hit by a new york jet and get uh, you know get a career-altering injury injury over there Drew just stay there for a second um now Next um, well, I've got I've got laid j here before I get laid j. I think I want to go ahead and open Uh, the cobra officer, uh, this is not new. Hello pains toys samples. How do you do nice to see you? Hello, keldon. Uh, thank you for being here him along with those Parcells lost the super bowl to the farve packers. Yeah, that is true That that is true. Um, there was the distraction of parcells wanting to go to a different team and it was um Well, they did better than they did in the super bowl against the the the bears They they completely craft the bed on that but anyway anyway Uh, this this is new to me, but this is not a new figure. This is the cobra officer and um, I did open this Earlier, but I wanted to open this For you guys because I haven't yet. Uh, hello, terrence. Nice to see you there um Anyone out there have a spare cobra raven front landing gear? I do not. I wish I did if I did I'd help out, but I don't have one um Yeah, the officer sculpt and I if I had thought about it and actually did some show prep I would have the cobra trooper handy to um To compare and contrast but let's Let's pull him out of his plastic coffin here for a moment Uh, hey, it's they gone. How do you do? And yeah, um, how do you do nice to see you? uh, and If there are a lot there are a couple like tiny pieces And But there are there's some elements of the uh, some aspects of the Accessory storage that I don't quite get And that's why I need to watch somebody else's review on it. I I really I only I got this saturday And I've only really looked at it once and I do try to you know Know what I'm talking about before I review something, but I just haven't had a chance to really dig into this um Uh, let's see, uh, no toy podcast day We didn't put a cobra officer in the top 10, but it looks cool Yeah, um, and I don't know that it would be necessarily in the top 10, but I do like it It's a really good counterpart to the Cobra trooper. In fact, I know I have a cobra trooper up here somewhere. Hang on one second Okay, so here's the cobra trooper and like like the vintage figures, you know The trooper and the officer are very similar Similar, but not the same So, uh, let's let's put it let's put his helmet on Let's put my glasses on because I can't see anything. Here we go Uh, let's see so Um So there's there's this helmet and he has the chevron On his helmet like let me put it on a little better like the vintage figure So, you know, we're we're already he already feels like the classic cobra officer He has this holster thing. This is one of the problem I have now the holster fits fine and it actually works fine, right? Uh, it fits on his back like that. Um, and His ak-47 will Um Will fit in it like that Now that's fine. There's nothing wrong with that. That's that's okay The problem that I have is that I want him to have his ak-47 in his hand It comes with removable magazines So and it's not actually an ak-47. It's it's similar to it's like a modernized Uh, a modernized version but with some of the You know a similar profile So but it does have a removable magazine and that's nice. I actually really like that. Um, but But my problem is I want him to hold this I want him to have this in his hand Uh, like like like so Uh, if I can get it trying to keep him on camera too. Sorry Um, so yeah, I want I want him to hold his signature assault rifle Um And he he also come oh I should add he's got this laser sight and the laser sight fits Um, yeah, this little laser spotter fits on the ak-47. Okay So that's fine. That actually fits pretty well fits very securely. He's got a knife that goes in His uh sheath here on the side this little dagger thing here He's got a pistol that's that's Like an old Mauser broom handles kind of like the what you would expect to come with uh, Destro but he's got a Like a Mauser broom handle pistol with a fat barrel So that can go in his holster Nice refined so far Um, in addition to that Um, in addition to that there, um He includes this submachine gun or assault rifle, whatever it is Um, that has this magazine and this magazine Can fit in the the side slot Hold on There we go.  We're oh, we're okay. So far We're okay. So far. Yes. See how the he's not tall enough. He's not let me see if I can it can No, you can you can just barely see the top of his head Um, so, uh, can I hold on? No, I got an idea. I got a plan. This is a great plan I think this is the best plan I've ever had so all right. So there's that Now my problem is If I'm going to holster anything I want to holster this Not that I want to holster this so I want this To fit in this holster so I can put this on his back And if this is supposed to fit in here, I haven't been able to do it Okay So how is this supposed to work? Am I doing it wrong? Am I doing it wrong? Um, so yeah, um, you can pull this out and on his belt He has a slot right here and that slot sort of I emphasize sort of fits One of the magazines so you can you can slide a mag in there So he uh, yeah, so he's got a magazine in his belt Fine so far fine so far um He's gonna fall he's gonna fall stand There's a drunk officer So yeah, so you can take the magazine out of this thing, but Bless me it does not fit in here if you press too much Then it then it bends these the the sights like the front sight there It'll bend if you press it too much in there. So it doesn't seem like This is meant to fit in there, but that's the one I want to fit in there That's the that's where I want it to go So yeah, I've got a I've got a look into this another thing another thing that's a little bit confusing on his belt He has this little loop here. It's round and it looks like it would fit um It looks like it would fit this little laser sight that fits on the on the ak But it doesn't really. I mean you can sort of squeeze the end of it in there kind of but like That doesn't work So I I'm I'm perplexed. So yeah, I've got I've got a look at this. I do like the figure actually I'd like the figure quite a bit. I think this is a really nice looking officer For those who are fans of the vintage officer. I mean this This ticks all the boxes. He's got the sculpted on not just painted on cobra sigil on the chest in silver He's got the gray shoulder pads on the straps. He's got the he's got the classic cobra blue He looks good. He looks good. I'm just I'm just a little confused about the accessories and It may not be them. It may be me. I'm just maybe too dumb to figure out how they work But for now, I'm gonna carefully put these in this box And I will put him away later But we've got tiny pieces here and I don't want to lose them So so there's that I wanted to show that because I just got it. I wanted you to see it um and now um Now I would like to um To open the lady j here. So this is the retro lady j on the retro card. I have the standard And I apologize when I have stuff up like this. It's hard for me to read the the live chat, sorry about that, but um Uh, so I want to compare and contrast the re the retro lady j with the reach The retro lady j with the retail lady j. That's hard to say um So uh, oh and hello kevin nice to see you Um anybody else who snuck in that I didn't say hi to hello. Thank you for being here Um, so yeah, I'm gonna open this Um now the main selling point for the retro Figures is the card back. It's got the retro style card back the It's it's sort of like the hector garrito painting a little bit. Um, I I You know just I'll like The graphic design student in me is saying why is she cut off at the ankles? But but I digress I digress So we're gonna open this I'm actually gonna open this right now And this will be um almost Wrapping up. We still got to do this see I I started I started half an hour early To do a half hour longer show And we have filled That time So yeah, unfortunately with the retro Um style cards you have to Uh, you have to actually cut them off um One thing I do like about the classified series is Um that you can easily Rebox them you do have to cut the tape But you can rebox everything and it's nice. It's nice So let's see Joe fan says I don't really care for the retro stuff. Um, I Well so far this is the only the second one that I've looked at I did like the uh, the baroness retro Actually, the baroness retro figure is right over there. I can see it. I did like that one Um, I liked the the one with the coil motorcycle better But I mean it's it's hard to go wrong with the baroness. It's a really good design for the baroness It's hard to make that one look bad that that one that one was pretty good But let's look at lady j. Let's look at Lady j Let's pop figure out first. Here is The figure in the plastic. Uh now as they go to Uh, uh plastic less packaging Um, I assume that they will have to change the retro style. So here is an intriguing thing So this one Has the removable hat With the hair that comes off now the reason the standard retail issue Lady j had that is because you could replace the hair with hair that did not have the hat This Doesn't have the other hair piece. So that is an interesting choice Uh, let's see if she'll stand here for a second. Maybe barely. This is very unstable This is very that's very unstable. But let me see. Let's um Now she's the accessories are very reminiscent of The 1985 vintage figure Which is nice, that's the whole idea, right? Uh, let's see. I'm gonna try to remove the tape.  She's concussed You got to start the concussion protocol stand up That's the and now I was accidentally clicking things um, so That is not gonna stay is it? Um, well, she has a stand. Why am I do why am I doing this the hard way? Here is another bonus though of the retro figures that they have stands. I do like that Wish that were standard issue with classified figures, but you know, whatever um, so She has a stand. Let's put her on said stand Um, oh my god, she broke an ankle um There There okay, so but now let's see if she can stand up. Hold on now stand They solid as a rock solid as a rock. All right, so accessories She has a knife A little knife and that appears to go right here in the belt lovely She has a spear And she has like this or javelin whatever And she has this javelin launcher and if you put them together this actually looks a lot like The vintage accessory the vintage accessory was similar to this, but it was all one piece This has where the javelin actually can be removed. So that's nice that the Retail figure had a similar deal Um, so there's that and then there is this alternate This alternate spearhead So you can at least I think remove Yeah, remove this spearhead and put This one on it's like, uh, maybe an explosive spearhead or whatever um, it makes me nervous though to Pop these on and off because I feel like I'm gonna break the Break the the little nib there. Uh, so there's that. Um Let's see Let's let's let's let's just put the accessories together and then I'll take the other one out of the package And we'll take a look at it. Let's let's sling the Let's see where we're gonna put them Yeah, we'll just we'll just put the The the camcorder over the shoulder Um, oh wait, is there a? Oh, there isn't Now that's interesting so on the Retail figure there is a cavity on the inside of the backpack To put extra stuff. Um, there is not on this one So Yeah, and I don't see anywhere else to put it. So there's a There's an extra piece here I don't know what to do with this and that is that's always a pet peeve of mine when there are loose bits Loose bits Will get lost And forever be gone um So now I am trying To put this grip in her hand Is this the same it is the same As the retail figure, but I don't remember having this much trouble with the retail figure. Why is what's going on here? Hang on a second Hold the phone. No doesn't go that way. Okay. I got it. I got it. Okay. Okay. So there's her Javelin launcher And I am immediately going to put this somewhere Because it's going to get lost. I'm going to have drew blood. So watch this for me drew you you keep an eye on that So let's put this side by side with the the retail Lady j and the the retail figure I'm not going to take all the accessories out because there are too many But like look look at this backpack on the back side of it. There's there's stuff on the inside Um so you can That's always freaky. Uh, so you can um Store things and you don't have extra bits lying around Uh, so let's let's put for for a comparison's sake. Let's put the hat on the Standard one so we can be comparing apples to apples here There we go And the knife fell out. So I'm going to go ahead and put the knife in the sheet on the belt And that's enough. Okay, so So there's that here they are side by side uh the The standard issue figure has updated colors. It's a darker green. She's got multicolor Panels on the uniform. I think this looks good I think the standard retail lady j looks pretty good The retro lady j uh is in a lighter green. That's more that's similar to the 85 figure So this it looks more like version one including a black cap With the jump wings on them And the light gray javelin gun So this is very much more inspired by the vintage figure. This one is updated This one has just a few tweaks that uh that modernize it a little bit and I like it I like the tweaks that modernize it a little bit. I think this looks pretty good. Although she's posed a little awkwardly Right now. I think this is a decent looking figure but If uh if first of all if you're a completeist, of course, you got to get everything Uh, but if you if you're looking for a lady j that is more like the vintage figure The retro figure is the way to go now this one now she has Uh like she's wearing They I think they put it as like 80s style makeup She's a bit more made up than Than the standard retail figure That's a matter of preference. I suppose but anyway, so there's lady j Uh, I wanted to share that with you since I just got it I'm gonna set both lady j's over here because we have one more thing. It's already eight o'clock. I know I know And I got to wrap it up here in a minute, but we've got to open our blind box here I got to open a blind a blind box here. Okay um Last time We did not get a gi joe figure. We got A ninja turtle. We got donatello Um Diana said okay, uh with uh don't feel comfortable with a woman dressed for battle and all that makeup But yeah, I I'm I'm with you there. I think that makes sense to me What you're saying makes sense to me and I think I I'm with you on that um But uh, but but given that I know some collectors are gonna be interested in a More vintage inspired figure, but just aesthetically. I think I like this one. Oh, thank you robert for the super chat I hate sir. I hope all as well. Uh blew my achilles out. Yikes, uh, july playing basketball But I can walk now. Good. I'm hope you're feeling better Looking at my tour room. So with so many boxes to open Well, well get to them because we've opened a whole lot here. You got to catch up. You got to catch up I'm glad you're doing better. I'm sorry. It hurts your ankle Um, that's uh playing basketball for the nba. No no doubt um So let's open this blind box and let's see if this time We get a gi joe figure I think I think our future depends on this If we get a gi joe figure any gi joe figure, I'd say that's lucky I'd say that means the rest of our week Will be lucky if we get a non gi joe figure Well, you know, just watch your back, you know In fact, you might well just stay home for a while because you know, that's it's just it's just bad luck But I feel lucky. I feel Yeah, mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah, this this feels good. This feels good. Um, all right ready Let's see if if we get um I think there's still a conversation about um About lady jay's makeup and I I think that's a fair conversation. I I do not discourage that conversation Let's find out though. How lucky we are.  I'll be totally honest with you. I don't I don't care But we've got We've got the bag inside the blind box I feel I feel good about it. I feel good about it. I wish I had scissors, but I don't I have a knife So let's try to uh, open this without Um Without damaging it All right. How lucky do you feel? This is our last activity of the night the last activity Of the night Will we be lucky and get a gi joer will be unlucky? And it would be unwise to play the lottery this week We got oh my gosh We got another ninja turtle This time It's michael angelo We got a michael angelo this time Well, I won't be sending this to chris. He collects donatello's I will say however michael angelo was my favorite turtle As as a young person if I had to pick one I I usually picked the michael angelo. So yeah, unfortunately You know all of our oh, thank you, dave for the super chat I should make a raffle for the ones you don't that's not a bad idea. I'll think about that Thank you dave and thank you for the super chat So that's it. I've got to wrap up. I really actually do have to wrap up because my voice is starting to give out But I wanted to say thank you. Thank you for everyone Thank you to everyone for being here. Thank you for being here for a little extra time Thank you for hanging out Catching the news with me And opening stuff. Thank you to everyone who sent stuff.
