Awesome video! Very in deprth and dig the opinions and commentary. I'm getting FOMO from missing out on the HISS Tank, but that's a true statement about the vehicles. There's a space issue when it comes to 1:12 figures and vehicles. The HISS Tank though, I felt was a good size. I really hope they do a variant of this vehicle and scale back the features and accessories to price it better (A Crimson version, maybe?). With things like the Dragonfly out now and the Rattler coming soon....they're going to be massive, cumbersome shelf space items. And Metal Head is a lot of fun, but it takes getting used to with all the bits hanging off his backpack and holsters. My advice for the hoses - just glue them on. You can still remove the backpack and the thigh launchers, they'll just be connected, but it def alleviates the frustration. I glued Buzzer's shades on and other parts for other figures and it's much more convenient to mess and pose with now. Also, I'm one of the people who like the Classified-ness of the original waves and wish they added them to the rest. The Retro line I felt never really went full retro (looking at you, Baroness and Destro) but there's also a missed opportunity to make more cash grabs and offer both vintage toy retro figures and also the cartoon retro looking figures. Keep them separate and satisfy both parties (Like how Transformers figures like to do with their redecos) I never knew the line originated in 2020, I feel like it was much earlier than that with how much product came out.
A madman hoarding them(cobra island figures)....unless you lived next to a discount store...then you'd had access to a few dozen firefly figures. I stopped at four and used them for my generic troopers...since I never found the viper or blue shirt, :) Love the channel, subscribed.
Oh my goodness,I must admit that I've watched this video more than a couple of times and I find something new to laugh at everytime.I just enjoy your commentary...I really enjoy the content and I share the same thoughts on most points..nicely done and keep them coming..you have my sincerest thanks..lol,"you want to shoot the missile?"lol,good stuff!!!
Awesome video showcases brother! I am in the camp of more updated look for line. The retro card back for those characters that are the stand out characters is good for the people who want that look. I have 2 of each of them I had to display those amazing cards with the figures on them.
As a vintage GI Joe collector, I do buy the retro card, but if I miss one or two because they are hard to find and/or the classified version is better, then I dont bother. I just buy whichever looks cooler, classified, or retro. If they both look good, I buy both. It's that simple for me!
You must live away from big major cities because in the tri-state area most of those cobra Island figures weren't easy to get ...i was able to get one Major blud but that because i waited on the day they were available for the employees to put them on the peg to sale. The Cobra Island troopers were also hard to get since people were grabbing as many as they could.... I managed to get two .
My Buzzer's glasses are exactly like that, so I just glued them where they touch his ears. He's never taking them off anyway and even the upcoming Torch doesn't have removable glasses at all, so what was the point?
I had to glue Rippers glasses on. I HAD to glue Helix's belt to her waist. I had to glue Lady Jayne's and Shipwrecks hat heads to their domes. I'm getting good at it 👍
Nice review overall, but you are missing quite a few figures (granted, they are mostly recolors): -Retro Crimson Guard -Retro Destro -Retro Baroness -Python Trooper -Python B.A.T. -Python Tele-Viper -Python Crimson Guard -Python Officer -Python Copperhead -Python Vypra -Crimson B.A.T. -Crimson Viper -Crimson Twins -Crimson Baroness And most importantly you are also missing Serpentor. How come you missed that one?
Wait, why would a Captain America shield need a swivel like the Alley Viper's? If we are talking about the standard round Cap shield, that suggestion doesn't make any sense.
Have we really moved past the dark period they still have a bad habit of doing stupid exclusive where they sell out before you can even put an order in and I’m still waiting for my Arctic B.A.T.s from BBTS, I don’t understand stand why they don’t do like the 4horseman put up a pre-order and let people put in an order until they close the pre-order window, that way you know how many you have to make then you can figure out how many more you want to make, it’s the same thing with the Haslab’s let say your got an order for 32k DragonFly’s at 299.99 but you say where gonna make 40k of them but the other 8k are only gonna come with the Wild Bill and it’s gonna be priced at 350.00+shipping and handling and there pulse exclusive’s or let BBTS or EE or make them full loaded at the higher price they will still sell them , that’s the cost of missing out on the initial buy in.
Yeah, that’s crazy. You know what could help? Just head to the description and click the link going to Super7’s website. If you’re a fan of things from the 80’s, 90’s or even today then you’ll love Super7. They’ve got action figures, apparel and even more for your collecting needs! Thanks for watching!
These videos are zen and calming. I've re-watched them several times. Love more. Boog Nice main courses used to do the same.

Thank you! Glad you enjoy my flavor of comedy, I hope to keep you entertained in future videos!
59:40 "How many SCUBA adventures are we getting into?" Every night at bath time. The Cobra Eel brings that back.

24:20 he is basically a shrunk down version of the Sideshow collectables.
49:59 Those are Oni and Kitsune Masks. Thanks for the review. Both Parts 1 and 2. You did a great job.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed them.
54:01 "But I can't see anything with the blast shield down!"

Thanks for making this video ❤
I can’t wait until more drednoks are released! They’re my favorite group in all of gi joe

I had to glue Rippers glasses on.

I'm getting good at it 👍
the original Alley Vipers were also orange and blue.
and make a Valkyre foe the retro one to puck her out there more
Nice review overall, but you are missing quite a few figures (granted, they are mostly recolors):
-Retro Crimson Guard
-Retro Destro
-Retro Baroness
-Python Trooper
-Python B.A.T.
-Python Tele-Viper
-Python Crimson Guard
-Python Officer
-Python Copperhead
-Python Vypra
-Crimson B.A.T.
-Crimson Viper
-Crimson Twins
-Crimson Baroness
And most importantly you are also missing Serpentor. How come you missed that one?
I think you forgot wild bill haley
I like that you left Metal Head dead when doing the group wrap up. It's a figure I keep passing on just because I don't like the look.
Wait, why would a Captain America shield need a swivel like the Alley Viper's? If we are talking about the standard round Cap shield, that suggestion doesn't make any sense.
For the pointed shields, not the rounded ones. Like what the Secret Empire Cap came with.
they need to bring the Rang Viper to cause people like me did not get any
Techno viper are vets they worked there way up to not have to be on the line there duty is to keep thing running but if needed they can hold there own
Dr. Magic Mike Bender.
@19:40....awwwww..thats a Karen haircut bro..yeeaaaah, that's a Karen haircut 😅😅
Why doesn't Hasbro just re-release their vintage figure line I would pay a small fortune for that
Video game figures
Ranger vipers are sporting a helmet,he is a human wearing a scary ass looking helmet
Finish each other's sandwiches!
That’s what I was going to say

And It gets worse when you don't live in the united states 😢
Man your a rich kid

👏👏
I think it’s hilarious that on your classified videos you have the crappy overpriced $uper7 garbage commercials 😂
