What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical over here so I'm talking about Megan in this video here again today So Megan will be Blumhouse's version of Chucky. I'm just gonna keep calling it that And we got footage at CinemaCon last night they prove that this is not gonna be like Annabelle She's very much so gonna be like Chucky It might be very heavily relying on CGI too, but we'll have to see how it comes off on screen This was presented by Allison Williams who made an appearance at the at the event And then we got footage or they got footage rather of Megan and Descriptions of the footage were released. I can't wait to see how this new AI horror film doll is Put out and what reaction everyone has to her and if she's welcomed as a being a part of the killer doll community For slasher's anyway, but the film let's give some details of the film really quick So this film stars Allison Williams and Ronnie Ching In addition to Violet McGraw, Brian Jordan Alvarez, Ariel Green, Jin Van Epps, Stephanie Martin Michael Sackinti and Kimberly Crossman Blumhouse recently revealed a post a teaser posted just for CinemaCon Well, they also provided some exclusive first look footage while the footage is unavailable for the general public We've seen it and we got some first reactions here directly from the room now This is coming from slash film so shout out to slash films I just took some of the things they had on their website and I'll be going over Some of the stuff that they shared as it pertains to the footage that was disclosed or shared Allison Allison came out and to help introduce Megan and per her account She's a robot who starts out friendly But then as with any good horror movie things start to go wrong as for the footage it kicks off Williams character and her niece living together We come to learn that the niece's parents died leaving Williams to get take care of this little girl Then the interesting wrinkle is thrown into the mix as we learn that Williams character has designed a little robot called Megan Whose goal is to protect her young niece named Katie from harm and of course what could go wrong from there? Everything could go wrong as we're gonna find out when Megan debuts next January I believe January of 2023 is when the movie is supposed to come out So hopefully we'll get to see a lot more new exciting things before then But just to go into the official breakdown of what was shown It doll the doll apparently is very unsettling. It looks a little bit like an Olsen twin When there's a range twist the young Katie and the dolls seem to be getting along well in the montage of footage Building emotional connection to one another. She's the happiest. She's been since her parents died We hear things get a little bit interesting though when a bully in the woods attacks Katie doing her job Megan gets down on all fours and chases the kid out into the street where it appears as though he gets hit by a car Whoops And then she says I won't let anything harm you. That's what she says to Katie Naturally, Williams wants to shut Megan down, but that probably isn't going to work Megan is seen dancing and flipping through all in office hallway Resisting the notion of a shutdown. She grabs a nail gun that she promptly shoots through someone's hand. Don't worry Katie I won't let anything harm you ever again So she says that ominously before the footage cuts off So that whole description of what they got shown gets me even more Excited for what is going to be shown in this movie when I get to see it Because I or even a trailer because I want to see how this comes off on screen I saw some stuff online that might even be telling us that she has some special abilities But just to pause really quick there and talk about violet McGraw violet McGraw is who I think is going to be playing Katie She's the young child star in the film now if you're familiar with Mike Flanagan's work of haunting of Hill House And if you've seen Dr. Sleep and some other things I think she was also in like the separation last year Violet McGraw is one of the best one of the more I would say talented young child stars that we have right now putting out content So if she's the one that's starring as Katie and then you throw this scary doll into the mix I'm pretty sure we'll have a very good time Connecting with the character will get to feel sympathetic for her since she's lost her parents And of course this movie is following some type of tropes that usually have with these type of movies Such as the child's play 2019 movie itself and the original child's play with Andy Barclay Who was being raised by a single mother who I would say Karen seemed like she was indeed struck trying to make ends meet by Also being a good mother and giving her child her son the best childhood she could And maybe Andy of course noticing that things weren't that good. That's why he wanted a good guy Don't just something to at least make him happy Because of the fact of the situation they were in financially it did seem like they were they were struggling financially I'll just be honest so we have a similar thing here with Violet's character who assuming that she is playing Katie who has lost her parents That's gonna be something for us to easily connect to especially for any of you who might have grown up without your parents But Violet McGraw herself. She just will make the make the character that much more sympathetic because of how talented She is and I'm pretty sure that as long as she continues to put out content as long as she continues to show signs of Just being this talented actress that she has shown that she is going to be someone who might grow up to be in A lot of final girl roles. Let's just hope But with Megan it seems that the footage everyone was showing at CinemaCon also was satisfying to them because I saw a lot of reactions online Where they were calling it terrifying but also I guess comedic in ways and someone did talk about that part where she was Crawling on all fours and then Akilah Cooper Who is the writer of this of this film who also is pending the nun too? She actually chimed in to say wait till you actually see the full sequence So if there is a actual sequence where Megan doesn't actually kill the bully But the bully ends up getting killed because of running into a direction and not paying attention. I mean That's of course not Megan's fault entirely But I I just don't I don't know how I would actually feel in that regard since we know that That she was being bullied by this individual, but then again, of course, they're both kids Uh, that doesn't mean he deserved to get hit by a car So whatever Megan is doing clearly is going to be something that's going to be a little bit overbearing Which is going to prompt them to try to shut her down. She's not going to have any of it I'll uh, I guess you could say pat from smart house for those of you who remember that disney channel movie Uh, we're a refusal to shut down. She's gonna become I guess even more deranged and more Protective of katie and to the point where she might even try to start harming gemma Who we know is going to be portraying uh, who williamson or who williamson is going to be portraying in the film The character of gemma who will be katie's aunt Um Who is going to be the one designing the doll and ends up using the prototype to give to katie and katie Of course will find some type of comfort in the doll and then the movie of course We're just going to this insane direction as it pertains to their relationship And how the doll is over protective and katie doesn't need to really have anything to do with this doll Because of how it is going to be causing a lot of chaos. I would imagine that's going to end up getting her Get looked at as a red flag get kind of get a lot of attention on her negatively And just have people close to her doubt her sanity Maybe will they even do that? Will they try to explore something that's kind of similar to what they did in the original child's play Where you have a kid who who is thought to be doing all of this when it's actually their doll Um, I know that's going to be something that's probably going to be very infuriating to me If you have stupid people running around not listening to the child But let me know what you guys think about these footage descriptions down in the comment section below for megan Are you still excited for megan? Let me know down in the comment section as well If you haven't already make sure you subscribe turn on postification never miss a video in the description I have linked some social media accounts on my facebook twitter and instagram You can message me there, of course There's any movies news or reviews like me to cover in the future and with all that in mind guys I will see you in the next video


President Balati Nubu is set to meet U.S. President Joe Biden on an exclusive invitation. The DOES meeting, maybe on the sidelines of the United Nations Assembly in New York, scheduled to run from September 18 to 26, 2023. It's starting today, actually. So the breakfast this morning will be taking a look at this as our first hot topic. As the country grapples with insecurity problems on the show this morning, we'll be looking at improving intelligence and stopping attacks on security personnel, military, police, air force and the like. We'll also be taking a look at the stories that made it to the front pages of some national dailies on all of the press, with an analyst joining us to discuss them. Good morning and welcome to the breakfast. I am Maureen Menon-Wazigwe. And I am Yamgul Agh-Ghaji, it's always a pleasure knowing that you're there and watching us. Monday morning, so what's your mindset like today? Because that's the question we always ask. We're hoping that you have a positive mindset and you're going into this week. Don't say, oh crap, it's a Monday again. Just say thank God it's another Monday that I'm going to work and put food on the table of my family. Indeed. I also learned that one of the best ways to look at Monday on a more positive note is to prepare during the weekend so that Monday doesn't start off being such a stressful day for you. Set the tone in a way that Monday becomes a step in stone for you. And try also to clear your table as a Friday so that you don't get left over as on Monday when you come and it's like you're carrying the work of the last week into the next week. And also a tip that can help you face Monday very, very well. You have nothing that is carried over from last week too. Exactly. So thank God it's Monday. And you know this thing about mindset that we keep talking about, it's such a powerful thing. Having a very positive mindset and telling yourself I can do this or I can achieve this. You know, I just achieved something very great recently and that's it. I can't with you. I'm just, don't even try it. Anyway, now I can drink tea without sugar and I'm okay with it. Really? I had to struggle with that. I never thought I could achieve. Being able to drink tea, being able to drink coffee without sugar or honey, especially honey, which I now use, I've been using that for some years. And I just couldn't, I thought it was something I couldn't do to drink my tea or coffee without some drop of my sweet honey. And there are some people who will think it's not an achievement, but try it. You'll find out that it's really a big one. To discipline yourself, to do what you think is good for you, it's a very, very great achievement. It's just like, you tell yourself, okay, when I wake up in the morning I'm going to do five push-ups. You think in the first few weeks it's an easy thing and as time goes on you wake up and you're like, okay in the afternoon when I come back, in the evening when I come back. Okay. I'm going to hit the gym on Monday. The Monday never comes and all that. Discipline is a very fundamental thing to achieving whatever you want to achieve. And a lot of us do not have that. Yeah. So if you've been dealing with that sugar thing or sweet tooth as they call it, you can achieve it really because you get to a certain age and your body tells you, common sense tells you that you need to drop certain things and sugar is one of them. Sugar is one of them. So whichever way it comes, whether honey or the sugar itself, the refined sugar, you need to get rid of it. At least cut it down to a reasonable quantity on a weekly basis, not even on a daily basis. There you go. Yeah, sorry. It's also a time to tell yourself that processed foods, generally, you should cut down on them if you cannot do away with them totally. It's amazing how in Nigeria a lot of people eat some things just to show class. You have food that we have, indigenous food that we have that might be really good, but you don't want that. You don't want an orange, for instance. You want the juice because it is in the supermarket. You can get it. The orange is too local for you. You have yam. You don't want to eat that.  Even if you carry your children to the mall and give them all this sugary food and make them look big, you say, they're looking healthy and all that. It gets to a time you realize that class has got nothing to do with it. If you want to stay healthy, you stay more natural than artificial. That's what it is. Definitely. All right. You are top trending this morning. Just before we get into that, there were some trending videos yesterday. I don't know how true that is because of the palliatives in one of these states. The commissioner for women affairs or something was beaten thoroughly by the chairman of a particular party. Whether it is true or false, we also know that these palliatives are being shared according to parties, whether we like it or not. That's what is happening. A party that is in charge in a particular state, they take care of their people and not just their people. People who are chief tens and close to the new close of the years. What about people who have decided not to do parties and politics? They just want good governance and they just want to go and vote. They don't want to carry out of any party. What about the people who belong to another party, which is an opposition that should keep you on your toes, which is very critical also in the democratic setting? All these people are going to be removed from the palliatives. From the equation. Yes. First of all, I haven't seen the video, but I've heard about it. First of all, you don't beat a woman for no reason. You don't beat a woman. You say, thoroughly beaten or beaten thoroughly. I laughed because my people say, but then they make person laugh. It's crazy to think that they could get to that level over these palliatives and it's become so ridiculous. Even if it's a verbal insult, it's uncalled for and whoever made it or gave the opportunity to this person to insult another because of palliatives should be the one to blame because if there were no palliatives in the first place, palliatives that people are rushing to get, maybe this kind of thing wouldn't have happened. When fuel subsidy was here, nobody insulted anybody else because of fuel subsidy or anything. And the people who were the culprit have gotten away with it. We're not hearing anything about it. So now they're bringing, okay, in another state, there were 3,000 something people that were given these palliatives and then others were asked to wait for the next batch, which means this first 3,000 something will not get any more. It will be another batch for the next month, 3,000 something in a state which will be at least 5 million people and 3,000 something are benefiting in a month. So they are the ones that will feed for that. The palliative has been described as being not well thought out, which is why some people are saying, don't share all these things, you're sharing rice, beans, granite oil, palm oil, some as ridiculous as we saw them in Nassarawa state, although that has been investigated and we understand that a few people have been caught, some government officials and their collaborators at the market where these palliatives have been diverted to and been sold. They make the palliative something, structures, put structures in place with these palliatives that people, everyone can benefit from. That is not just targeted at a few thousands of people when you have millions of people that need these help. So yes, I understand that the Labor Minister has called for a meeting and NLC definitely is shunning that meeting. They haven't had a good rapport with him. The TUC, yes, they've been having, called their relationship with him, but definitely not the NLC. And the NLC is caring for a shut down. They're caring for a shut down. There was, they gave two weeks or so. That ultimately is going to elapse on Friday, I think. Yeah, so if that happens, a lot of things will be grounded. And I don't know how we define terms in Nigeria. I think definitions are different from global definitions. Palliatives are supposed to be things that will be like a placeholder until the real thing comes. Maybe, okay, there's fuel scarcity. And then the government is buying from other sources and giving to people until when they can supply correctly. Or there is food scarcity or something. And then they're giving some kind of money or something. That's palliative. But this one, you're using palliatives for something that should last forever, so to speak. Because after six months, it will be phased out. So what is the thing that these palliatives were standing for? Just helping us to hold body, as we say in Nigeria. What is that thing that is coming to us? While we're talking about palliatives, there are indications that the price of fuel may go up again. The market is already sending that warning out. And that's something we definitely cannot afford. I mean, how many Nigerians can afford to buy fuel if it goes any higher than that? And not just fuel, gas. And on this morning, that gas may get to as high as 18,000 Naira. Which is something that Nigerians, no Nigerian would be willing to pay for. I saw a news item this morning or yesterday, where there was air bombardment on facilities that they call illegal refineries. Okay, so they are refineries, but illegal ones, and they are being destroyed. And some people- Instead of being converted. Yes, out of the opinion, why not get this? Even if you are arresting them, even if you're trying to convert them into something legal, or even whatever you're doing, it's like having a genius if you watch the movie Catch Me If You Can. He was a criminal, so to speak, but a very intelligent one. That was now arrested, as it were, but they used their intelligence to catch even greater criminals and all that. So you've seen people, maybe because of the shortage of a particular thing, have devised means to do one or two things, and you're catching them. Why not look at that technology and see what can be harnessed from that? I'm not saying I'm encouraging people doing illegal refineries and all that, but it shows that there's a possibility of doing something like that locally that may not cost a fortune. And you're not looking into it, you're only just bombardment. You catch a full ship with millions of litres of crude on the high sea. You burn it. I just can't understand. Unbelievable. All right, let's go to the top trending. And the first top trending has to do with the fact that a lot is happening with the CBN officials. No fewer than 20 persons with links to the central bank of Nigeria and its immediate past governor, Galvin Emerfely, have so far been questioned by the special investigators appointed by President Bola Tinibu to prove the apex bank. Among those interrogated were the four deputy governors of the apex bank, some directors, and some drivers, including Emerfely's. Even the drivers who drove the directors, especially those directly under the deputy governors, were interviewed. Officials of the Nigeria Security Printing and Minton Company and those in charge of all the intervention programs were also invited. Also summoned were some officials of the NIRSAL, Microfinance Bank, Nigeria Interbank Settlement System, PLC. The special investigators paid a quiet visit to the Nigeria incentive-based risk-sharing system for agricultural lending, PLC, on Friday in Fatherance of their assignment. However, no arrest was made on that occasion. It has also been reported that Executive Secretary of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria, Shuaib Ahmed and his deputy, Ihani Ahaya Anyahara, were invited to appear before the panel in connection with the preparation of the CBN Audited Financial Statements from 2016 to 2022. Some of those summons were reportedly detained till the following day in the event their interrogation took longer than anticipated, or if further documents were needed from their offices, which were not brought along. The special investigators' invitation may also be extended to retired directors connected to the case. A parallel investigation of the CBN is being carried out by the Department of State Service, that's the DSS, under the Interagency Committee. It was the Interagency Committee that detained Deputy Governors Aisha Ahmed and Kingsley Obyora. President Nubu, in the July 28, 2023 letter appointed by the Founding Executive Secretary of the FRC to probe the activities of the Apex Bank and its related entities. It is charged with looking into the books of the Nigerian National Petroleum Cooperation Limited, that's the NNPCL, the Federal Inland Revenue Service, the FRS and other government business entities, which the president in the letter, he personally signed, said was in continuation of government's anti-corruption fight, in accordance with the fundamental objectives set forth in section 15, subsection 5, of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, as amended. They should have been very definite to mention some of these chieftains that were detained and all that. It's not enough to detain a driver. And the acting CBN governor, when MFLE was arrested, was part of the executive. So if you're arresting everybody, was he arrested as well? And is he going to be invited if he has not been arrested and detained as well, because MFLE is there. And if there are other people, people who connived with him to do whatever he's going to do, they're talking about trillions here now, like trillions of Naira. So if these people are going to be invited, was this immediate past acting governor of the CBN? Not part of it. So they are now arresting or inviting people up to the drivers. And I don't know how that is going to be. Maybe they want information from them. Definitely, definitely. You know, a new CBN governor has been nominated, Kordoso. So, yeah. Let me Kordoso. A lot is going on there. Yeah, so let everybody be investigated. Let there be no secret cows. And let us see that they are being investigated and the needful is being done because it's not enough to just say it on paper and then let the people go. NNPCL, it's a good thing that they are going to be investigated. I'm sure the kind of things that will come out there will not see the light of day because there will be so damning on a lot of people that are so influential in this country. Because if you are probing NNPCL, that means they subsidy, Palava will come up. Everything that we've been experiencing will come up and then we'll see how it goes. Femi Falana, S.A.N., is asking for the persecution of Omiyefale. Yes. And he has questions to answer with regards to, that's exactly what all Nigerians are saying. He has questions to answer with regards to the Naira redesign with so many Nigerians stranded, some even lost their lives. And asking for the CBN to rebuild the banks that were destroyed because of this money redesign. And then there was... Of course, and then his boss, who gave approvals. Yeah. Permissions. In America, Trump is being investigated. Biden even is facing, there's a possibility of impeachment because of a lot of things that are happening. And he's the sitting president. Why can't things like that happen in Nigeria? So if it's not happening to ordinary people, when will it happen to a president? Well, anyway, we also, because of some of these things, that's why Sarah has gone up again. The socio-economic rights and accountability projects, Sarah has filed a lawsuit against President Bola Tinubu over the failure to stop the former governors who are now serving as ministers in his administration from collecting life pensions and other retirement benefits from their states while they serve as ministers. In a statement on Sunday, Sarah, Deputy Director Kola Ole Oluwadari, identified the ministers as Nyesom Wike, former river state governor, Bello Matawale, Zamfara, Adeboye Gah, Oyetola Oshun. Former governors listed in the suit include Badaru Abubakar of Jigawa, David Umahi Ebonyi, Simon Lalong-Platu, Attiku Bagudu Kebi, and Ibrahim Geidam of Yobi. Oluwadari said the suit was filed last Friday at the Federal High Court in Lagos. The rights group is seeking an order of mandamus to compel President Tinubu to instruct the former governors who are now serving as ministers to stop collecting life pensions and other retirement benefits from their respective states. According to Sarah, compelling and directing President Tinubu to stop the former governors from collecting any retirement benefits while serving as ministers in the current grave economic realities in the country would serve the public interest. And they describe the appointment of those who collect life pensions and other retirement benefits as ministers in as arbitrary and unlawful exercise of discretion and presidential power of appointment. I'm just wondering, is the president still collecting pensions from Lagos state as a former governor of Lagos state and then collecting as president and why are the governors? In fact, the life pensions, the governors and political appointees are paid is for what? After serving four years, you're collecting pension that someone who served 36 years will have to save another 100 and something before they can collect that kind of pension. So does it really make sense? Questions have been raised, questions have been raised and the first one is the one that you just raised. Is the president still collecting pensions for being a former governor of Lagos state? And so, and then questions have also been raised about does those who are ignorant about the victories that Sarah has recorded, they think Sarah is just- Yeah, all the time you see on X and that's interesting. We need a syrup and we need more syrups, to be honest. We need more syrups. And in case you're wondering how effective syrup has been, syrup have won several cases in court and we want them to continue doing this, to continue to ask these questions and we need more syrups to ask more questions so that this government officials will be put on their toes to understand that people are watching and people are keenly invested in these things. Nigerians are not just folding their arms and saying, well, let them do what they like and leave and whatever, whatever and throwing their ops in their hands and they are saying, what can we do? No, Nigerians are beginning to take actions, go into court and seeking for judgment over our collective wealth. Yeah, and saying that we need more syrups doesn't mean that you have to go and form an organization, rally around the people who are already speaking out. We have the social media for crying out loud and we know how if Nigerians rally around a particular cause, how effective that thing becomes. Even if you don't get 100%, you'll get some significant changes because everybody's talking about it. For instance, now, let me use the entertainment industry. A young boy lost his life and they're blaming particular people. Right now, all the shows of the people who are being blamed are being canceled. There was a show, one of them was supposed to have in America to tour about 15 cities in America which would have raked millions for them. And now that show is canceled because everybody in Nigeria is talking about justice for mobile. So if people can rally around a particular cause, it gets things done. So why not we do the same thing when it comes to political issues, policy issues, things that really affect all of us? We tend to just do this for entertainment. We are watching Bibi and Niger for instance and everybody's watching and voting. You ask them to go out to vote. In election, they will not go. There's something that happens in the entertainment industry. Somebody marries a second while everybody's talking about it and a policy that will affect your life is being formulated and you're not saying anything about it. So we need more seraphs. Means that you should lend your voice no matter how small it is when all of us lend our voice to a particular cause. Things will happen. Maybe not a hundred percent, but it will happen. It will definitely happen. All right, you're still watching The Breakfast on Plus TV Africa. It is a mindset Monday edition. We'll take a break now and come back without the press. You want to know what are those stories on the front pages of the National Daily this morning? There are.


Hello everybody hooded Cobra Commander 788 here and I do not have a full review for you this week And I'm sorry about that. I should have a full review next week But since I don't have one for you this week I what I thought we might do instead is do an unboxing and assembly of a vintage GI Joe vehicle This is the GI Joe razor blade. It is from 1994. I don't have very many 1994 vehicles, so this will be a learning opportunity for me. I picked this up at Joe con. It was pretty inexpensive It was in an open box. The box was not it was not sealed But the contents inside are still in the factory sealed bags So we will be the first to see this Actually opened up and assembled and once I get it assembled eventually in the future I'll be able to do a full review on it I have all the tools I'm likely to need to assemble this vehicle So let's open it up and put it together So let's see this just opened the flap here and these 90s vehicles all came with a Cardboard tray inside the box Pull that out and we can set the box aside Just set the box over here for a second And then this is all of our pieces here. We've got body piece here got Couple grips here. This is for the the gimmick that it that it had We've got the factory sealed contents in the bag with all the pieces still on the plastic trees It looks like quite a few pieces Another piece of the body And it looks like that that's a spring-loaded missile launcher And some skids for it. So those are all pieces Looks like all the ephemera is still here. We've got a catalog. I guess this would be the 1994 catalog So these are kind of fun to look at But I won't spend a whole lot of time looking at it right now It's got the Hall of Fame 12 inch figures here That's something I've thought about taking a look at although It's outside the normal scope of my reviews and my collection but still might be fun to look at This is a catalog here and here's this is pretty cool On this page it has create a cobra and on this page It has the gold head steel brigade where you can send off for those Those are both very rare and expensive figures now So it's kind of cool to see the catalog work you'd mail off to get them So let's set those aside for now. We have the instructions sheet With the assembly instructions, this is pretty different from Our 80s and even the early 90s instruction sheets The blueprints are very much abbreviated But let's just put it together. Oh, yeah here Probably the most important part The sticker sheet With all the stickers on it. So let's set the cardboard tray aside and let's look at step one The step one is the tail fin assembly Place tail fin on back end of lower body half with tail fin holes positioned over posts as shown Tail fin, I guess. Oh, I think it is time I believe the tail fin is in here in this factory sealed bag so all you Collectors who like to keep the vintage toys in their factory sealed bags Just cover your eyes because we're cutting it open right now And there we've done it. We've done it. It will never be sealed again Okay, take these parts out And find that tail piece Let's see. I believe I see it All right, there's the canopy. It looks like some wheels And that looks like the tail Okay, so we've got to cut that piece off of the plastic tree Let's try to do this cleanly. There we go Oh, that's already Cut. There we go. All right Oops, I missed one piece. Can I just snap it off? Yeah, okay There's the tail piece and where's the bottom half. This is the bottom half of the body We're supposed to put it in this configuration and place the tail I see there's a post right here, and then there's like a little C-clip that fits around this post It just goes on like that could not be simpler. There's the tail and then Step two it says to put the body together. So a line upper half of the body Posts with lower half holes Start at the back and secure tail fin and body halves in place by snapping posts into holes So all right, I got it. This looks pretty straightforward Snapping the top and body halves together now We've done a few of these assemblies before and we know that just because it looks Straightforward and easy and simple doesn't mean that it is so let's try to put this together without breaking it and Of course, it doesn't want to easily align Of course not Couldn't be easy So let's just keep working with it until it snaps together. Okay Okay, yeah, there we go snaps together Okay All right, everything is aligned. Okay, we got through step two And there is the the shell basically Step three says to put the landing skids assembly So we've got the landing skids aligned the landing skid notch with Copter slot as shown snap landing skid assembly into bottom of copter. Okay So, let's see. What's the front? Let's see which way is the front Right, it looks like it fits both ways so It could fit either way So I believe the okay Yeah, okay. No, that's the front. I got it. I got it Snaps together and it should just oh that was incredibly easy. All right. Very good. So landing skids are on Next step four is the canopy assembly. Here's the canopy And this it says oh, okay There are a couple of knobs here on the front and those line up with these grooves on the canopy and It looks like they should just slide right in Again, it looks easy, but it almost never is let me make sure them Let's see If I do it that way Seems like it would stretch this canopy a bit because that'd be a tight fit But there are these grooves in the canopy that this is supposed to slide right into Which is not as easy as it sounds fortunately the plastic on this canopy is a little bit flexible Otherwise, I would be worried about breaking it. It does flex a good bit though So I don't think this will break I'm not too worried about it But this lining up the knobs in the grooves there it goes Took a second, but there it goes and so it just snaps closed like that Should see hoping it should be paid pretty easy. That actually works quite well. So congratulations 1994 you're looking good Okay That stage also shows how you can put the figure in This didn't come with an action figure, but you could put a figure in at this stage So what's next the rotor blade assembly? So we have some rotor blade parts to take off the trees here looks like Let's see with rotor blade and rotor blade hub facing up Snap end of blade into each hub repeat with the other three blades. Okay, so I need to Clip these rotor blade pieces off of the plastic tree There we go. Well, that one was almost off anyway and all right for rotor blades So let's clip each one of these off I think my exacto knife might be getting a little bit dull I mean have to sharpen this thing or just replace it. It's pretty old All right, so while we do this, how's everybody doing everybody doing all right? I know for some of us It's been kind of tough times lately But you know, we're gonna get through it guys We're gonna get through it I Certainly have had kind of a tough time with my job situation Changes at work that have been very uncomfortable and unwelcome and Of course, I don't have a whole lot of say in that but I'm slowly adjusting the best I can Move this move this out of the way so maybe you can see a little bit of the Rotor blade assembly so we're supposed to have the hub facing up that's facing up We are supposed to snap each blade into place as Shown and as shown it goes this way All right. Oh, I see how it goes And again, it's a good thing this black plastic has a little bit of flex to it Otherwise the force I'm having to use to assemble this I would worry about breaking it, but I think this black plastic is gonna be fine So we've done a few live streams now. I'm trying to make that a weekly thing So how are you guys liking it? I've been enjoying it a lot And I hope you have too. I understand that the live stream is not at a convenient time for everyone Especially if you're on the US West Coast For you guys, it's probably a little too early But in the central time zone where I am I Really kind of have to do it at that time Because that's the only time that's that's possible for me But I've been given some thought to Maybe doing one that's like late night or something like that So that maybe a few people from Different parts of the country and different parts of the world can join us Yeah, maybe some people who can't join the regular live stream because for you it's too early or too late So I'll give that some thought So we're supposed to Have a rotor blade shaft And we insert the rotor blade shaft through the rotor blade hub And snap end of pivot shaft into top of vehicle as shown So where is there it is? That's what that is okay as I Finish clipping the pieces off of each of these trees. I'm tossing them in the box So they are out of my way Okay So this It's supposed to go Okay through the blades like that and then into This and that Yeah, okay Same on both sides so there that should be it There. Oh, how about that? This thing is working. You know these Some of these 90s vehicles were rather simple. I'd have to say But one nice thing about simplicity Is that they are usually fairly easy to assemble so that's not bad That's not always the case though as we've seen with some of the vehicles that we've put together Okay, so now Trolley guideway assembly. That's these pieces here It says fit posts on pulleys into lower trolley guideway half containing pulley holes fit slots on upper trolley guideway half Through tabs on lower trolley guideway then press and hold Okay, and hold halves together Check make sure pulleys are aligned properly then snap halves together Okay, that sounded rather complicated, but I based on the picture in the instructions. I'm pretty sure I know I Know what I'm supposed to do so This thing has this gimmick where it has like a pulley system, and that's what we're assembling now I probably won't test that In this video, I'll wait till I do a review on it to show you whether or not that pulley system Works very well, but I'm quite curious. I'm pretty curious to see if that's actually gonna work All right now these are the pulley wheels There are two of them come on there we go that one didn't want to go We got it. Okay All right, I want to thank everyone. I want to make sure everybody understands how much I appreciate all their Support and their help lately when I've kind of been going through some difficulties and That's not something that I'm just gonna you know keep harping on But I do want to make sure that I I thank everyone because everybody Everybody has been so kind and supportive And I want to make sure everyone knows how much I appreciate that We are going to get better This is going to Someday be behind us. We will be back to you know You know doing good things and making good things and having fun with this again It's just one of those things sometimes life throws you a little curveball All right, so that's it. That's the pulley system completely assembled a very odd looking but We'll have to see how that works Okay, the rocket launcher. That's this right here. This is a spring-loaded Missile launcher and this how does it go? It goes interesting Okay rocket launcher slides into right side of compter as shown Okay, now that's really interesting Okay, it slides. Okay, it slides in here Through the back and then there's this hole the rocket actually fires through there. So That's that's kind of different. I don't know. I think I might kind of dig that I'm not a big fan of these spring-loaded missiles launchers, but Did something a little bit unique with it on this particular vehicle Uh nice. Okay, and so the oops so the rocket would shoot out of there I might test that in this video might as well Okay, so what is this? This is a handle What am I supposed to do? Oh, okay. Oh, okay. So these handles here Yes, these tops the the spring-loaded missile launcher will also fit on there, I guess Let's see Yeah, I like that.  That's unique and interesting There are some surprises with this vehicle Okay, so Okay, what do we have here step nine. Oh On step nine it actually wants us to put one of the rockets into the rocket launcher, so Let's go ahead and do it the instructions actually tell us to test it So I guess we will let's clip these off. There are four of these Little little rockets They are all identical And yeah, my blade is getting really dull. It should cut through that with no problem So I have to replace my blade on this there we go. That's three All right, and that's four Okay, so it tells us to It tells us to test these so let's do that. Let's fire it at the box and Yeah, let's do it like that. Let's see how all this works All right, I'm trying to angle this in a way that It won't bounce off the box and fly off the table. Okay, so missile is in the launcher I'm supposed to push down on this tab on the back to fire and let's see how it works. Oh, yeah, that works Okay, so that's step nine and let's see step 10 is String attachment string. I didn't see any string Let's see here. Is this supposed to have string? Because it doesn't have any string. I'm supposed to supply my own string Tie one end of string included to one control handle as shown Fit other end of string through the guideway and you know what? No string in here Okay, so there this is something that I will have to Fix or I'll have to basically get some string for it Before I can even test that feature. So so much for that idea Cannot test the pulley feature Until we do that. So I will just set it aside for now. It's got two of these handles And a pulley that looks like it attaches to this bar here And you just run some string through it and you can you know slide the razor blade along the string. It's kind of a neat idea but It's missing a piece. It is definitely missing a piece I don't know if that was supposed to be in the factory sealed bag or not Or if it was just supposed to be loose in the box, but whatever it was It wasn't there So I did notice that the vehicle has some Universal dumbbell shaped pegs here for the Rockets so you can store them when they're not being used by the spring-loaded launcher So I'm gonna put these on here Just so they can Have a place to stay and actually they're not fitting too well. There we go. It's a tight fit on those One two three and four top and bottom all on one side. This is an asymmetrical vehicle Which is fine Gives it an unusual Look and we're really we're almost done. That is the main vehicle The only piece we have left now is see The what is this thing called the rescue backpack? No, I don't have a figure handy to show you how the rescue backpack works. I Might pause this video and go grab a figure It's interesting Go grab a figure and show you How it works, so let's try to cut this off without slicing my hand open. That would be nice. There we go All right, this thing. I'm just gonna have to toss this thing. That's this is old and No good anymore Okay, so I'm gonna pause this for a second and grab an action figure so I can show you how This rescue hook thing works. Okay. I wanted to use a 1994 figure and the first figure I grabbed from my 1994 bin was Flint version 4 and that will work just fine So there is a backpack on this And you just peg it on the figure's back just like a backpack Try to get it on there as solidly as possible that seems to work fine and When flint needs to be rescued he's not gonna stand up too well with that on but according to this you just basically Swing in and scoop him up on the skids now if you have the pulley system working and the string going through it you can fly this thing down with the pulley and snatch him up like that and rescue flint so Not bad. I can see how that could be a fun play a feature So yeah, there's that Nice little thing now kind of get it off the figure Oh, that's it does stay on quite solidly and that's probably a good idea for something like this Where you're gonna be picking it up and it'll be you know flying around through the air You don't want this to you don't want the figure to come off of it While the helicopter is flying it so that Good job on that that actually does stay on the figure quite well So now I believe we are down to the stickers. So let's see where the sticker okay One thing I noticed about these instructions That it's a lot smaller. This is a much smaller Instruction sheet then we got in the 80s and even the earlier 90 and 90s vehicles had More instructions at larger instruction sheets than this But okay, here we go. So let's do these stickers here These are paper stickers not the classic vinyl stickers. That's typical of the 90s. All right label one this razor blade Emblem there are two of them and they it looks like they peel up pretty readily And this is supposed to go right smack on the nose And let's see if we can line it up pretty good Not make it too wonky Okay Careful now. That's not too bad Okay, there is the first sticker right there on the nose and Let's see what next okay another one of those Number one labels goes on the pulley system And which way this way. Yeah, okay, so why not let's do that get that out of the way let's go ahead and Peel that one off and this one's supposed to go right here and I suppose that's helpful because You wouldn't necessarily have this attached to the helicopter all the time If you weren't using that play feature you would pop this off and maybe put it somewhere in a box or something The fact that it actually says razor blade on it makes it easy to remember what toy it goes to so that's not bad All right label number four Let's go ahead and finish putting labels on the the pulley system since I have it here Label number four is a small GI Joe logo So let's peel that off be careful with that And that just goes here try to get it straight. That's pretty straight That's one side all the same thing on the other One what happened to that string? Now that's gonna bother me This thing was factory sealed yet not complete So do I actually want to track down vintage string? Probably not. I will probably just get some Generic spring generic string to use with the play feature All right, that's done and out of the way. Well, I do want to see how well it snaps on to this bar It's got three teeth on it And it snaps on to this bar right here on the top. So let's see it should snap on Pretty easily you or not There we go Yeah, and that's a really good thing that black plastic flexes some so that's that's good And it does stay together. That's good and the blades spin freely under it It's not bad You know even with the pulley on I might even leave the pulley on It's not too intrusive. It doesn't get in the way of the blades or anything. It is kind of a big thing up there on top But it's not terrible I Can live with that. So I'll just leave it on Okay, what next? I'm trying to get the boring stuff out of the way. It's so let's do This Let's see these grip things have some labels That go on them label eight. What's label eight? Where is label eight, oh Just these little American flags is that it They actually made little American flag stickers for these grip thingies I Don't really know why they needed stickers for those at all. It's not really doesn't seem very important to me But it does say label eight Is that it? No, that's not it. Where's label eight label eight is Label eight is this other GI they want me to waste these awesome GI Joe logos on these things I do not approve. I don't approve of that at all. In fact change my mind. I'll do that. Sorry I'll do that last let's move on to Better stuff All right, there's label five which is it has three smaller Razor blade Ambulance and let's see one of them goes Here right behind the cockpit. They're pretty well So there's that And the same thing on the other side, okay carefully now Putting them at a slight angle because there's a detail on the fuselage that Makes it look like it should go at that angle That's nice. I like it. So there's that and then another one goes right there on the Body where it attaches to the tail So far these stickers are not bad. I think they are fine Pretty cool stickers and they do enhance the look of the vehicle a bit so nice all right Label three these kind of orange and black stripey labels go on The helicopter blades. Let me see exactly how those go So I can do it right. It's interesting. Let's do it. Let's do it There's one right. That's too wide These are too wide for those blades is that really how it's supposed to go That's how it says but if I put it on that way then it will cover part of the Molded-in detail If it went on the bottom of the blades it would work fine Okay, I've encountered this on some other 90s Vehicles where it's asks you to put stickers over Part of the detailing and I don't know what they were thinking But I'm gonna do it the way they tell me to And try to line it up.  I do not approve of this But there it is Repeat three more times This is riveting stuff. Isn't it folks? And I thank you for joining me for these. I enjoy doing these and I hope it's not too tedious or boring for everyone out there certainly isn't a toy review and that is my bread and butter here but on this particular week To do I didn't have the time to do what I was planning on doing and I didn't really have a substitute so I Just had to Change plans Still get to that thing I was gonna do, but I'll have to do it at a future date. Okay There are those orange and black stripe stickers on the propeller blades It does kind of look pretty cool when you spin them. That's not bad It's just that the way they go on it doesn't make a whole lot of sense But there it's done Let's see. What do we do next? Oh? Label to a rescue arrow sticker. Okay, so those go on the side of the canopy Right, huh, okay the blades get in the way a bit a little tricky It goes right there right there and The next one I do love putting on these stickers and Thanks to Mike Lopez. I'm gonna go ahead and give Mike a shout out for sending me that box C-ray Which I very much enjoyed assembling. There was a little hiccup on it, but not a bad experience at all Sometimes it's just tricky to put together these old toys. We're dealing with old plastic And you know sometimes it's not as easy as it would have been, you know, it was fresh out of the box, you know 28 to 35 years ago But But usually you can still get them together Okay, then all right those American flag stickers are numbers six and the number six label goes on here Let's see exactly where it goes. It goes Okay, on this side it goes back here. All right little American flag sticker there and this one goes the other side in The last live stream. I was rudely interrupted by cicadas They were very noisy because and I was doing the live stream Outside well, I can hear them right now. I'm inside right now and they're making a hell of a racket So, okay label seven what's label seven? Label seven are these steps stickers and they go where they go Okay, they go on the skids. All right, let's just peel that off I'm trying to after I put the stickers on I'm trying to show you where they go Because I have to do it on my side and the camera is not On my side, it's on your side. So you can't always see exactly what I'm doing So I'll try to make sure to pause and show you after each step see Step stickers on these skids Trying to put them as close to exactly where the instruction sheets say for them to go. It's just two more The other side We're almost done. We're about down to those GI Joe logos that have to go on the Those grip things And I gotta say that that's I don't like that. There is not a GI Joe logo on the vehicle proper GI Joe logos on this pulley assembly But if you take the pulley assembly off There's no GI Joe label on it and that is An odd choice I have to say So yeah, we're down to these and The only way they will go is is Vertically So let's do it. Let's do it. Let's waste these perfectly good GI Joe stickers on these grip things that Most of the time you won't use you'll throw in a box and probably lose I Guess this is probably the only indication you have that these grip things even go to a GI Joe toy Because they're basically just blank. I didn't notice that they have Dumbbell shaped pegs so you can peg the missiles on there And like I showed earlier you can put the spring-loaded missile launcher on there so I guess you can have the missiles as well and just use them as like Spring-loaded guns with your extra ammunition pegged on there It's a nice try for a little extra bonus feature, but To me the the main function of them would be to work with the pulley system Which I can't show you as stated before Because I don't have the string There it is the last label is on the razor blade is Fully assembled that was my unboxing and assembly of the 1994 GI Joe razor blade helicopter I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope it was an adequate substitute for a full review this week I'm sorry. I didn't have a full review ready for you this week. I just didn't Have what I needed and have the time to put together the review that I wanted to do I don't like taking unscheduled breaks like that. I like to join all of you every week With a more GI Joe content and more GI Joe reviews. I enjoy that very much And so I'm sorry I couldn't do that this week but I do all want to thank everyone for all of your kindness and your support in these difficult weeks But if we persevere we will make it through this We will get back to normal. We've got a ways to go before we can get back to normal but I'm doing everything I can to To be in a place where I can join you every week and give you the kind of content that you expect and deserve So I want to thank everyone who watches these videos And I want to thank all of my patrons if you like this channel and you like to support it more Please check out my patreon page. I'm on social media on Facebook and Twitter, and I have a website hcc788.com That's all for this week. I will be back next week with a full GI Joe toy review. I'm working on it I hope you will enjoy it join me then and until then remember only GI Joe is GI Joe
