I wish you would get stuff early! Because you are one of if not the best figure reviewer out there up close Hands not all in the way so on so forth! I just watched this review even though I already own my own five of them LOL!
Yep I have the canopy issue too. Still, this thing is so fun - so much better than getting another motorcycle. They got it right doing a small, massable vehicle with a well-done army builder. Also, they finally seem to have landed on a common head ball size - the Cobra officer and viper were different from the crimson guard and each other; this one uses the same size as crimson guard, Tomax, Xamot, and Shipwreck.
I might be in the minority on this but I like the Windowless packaging, they replace it with Cool, Badass Art from front to back. Not to mention they also show you in cool art all the accessories, it looks so good! Makes you wanna keep the box afterwards instead of throwing it away, lol.
Complaint number 1, I need my Hiss Haslab. My only annoyance with this thing That left side missile was born loose. Might be a defect in the mold(making the hole ever so slightly too big). No stands for all these items that hover in the air. Same with the Chariot. I was able to make adapters to go wit my stands but it's still annoying. I also thought Robo was breaking into a rap at the end.
Thank you for the tip with the canopy. Got 3 myself and all 3 had the same issue as yours. Maybe that's why there hasn't been a restock yet, to fix this QC issue?
So what gum do you think he has in his many pouches? My money is on Dubble Bubble. And yeah, it really should have come with some sort of flight stand at $55. Then again when I finally set up a Joe display I plan on having the two I got suspended from a shelf, strafing some Joes.
I passed on this initially because I didn't know where I was going to put it. I still don't know, but if it comes back in I'm pretty sure I'm grabbing one.
I was able to order one of these before they sold out, but i dont have mine yet. I do have the Scrap Iron & Anti-Armor Drone set. Its still in the box. I want more smaller vehicles. Would love the VAMP and that Cobra turret thing with clear canopy (I forget the name). Looking forward to Hasbro Pulse Con to see and try to get my hands on that Baroness set with Tomax and Xamot.
While I liked G.I. Joe's growing up originally the line didn't give me much interest more then soldier fodder against my legends and DC figures. Now I'm all in, I collect all Joe's and most cobra figures!!!
I love the retro sci-fi look of this. Sure, the military stuff in Classified is the bread and butter, but this is what's gonna make me buy a figure. Feels perfect for some classic Nick Fury hijinks! Some of these guys on some durable stands like Obitsu stands or something and you can get a cool escape scene going. I might get two... my figures are gonna have to prepare for bubble, and make it double!
You actually gave a review and talked about it and what you liked and didn’t…and gave a overall opinion….very good sir 🤘🏻 all the other “reviews” are let me show my stuff off …..and yeah that’s part of it but
Right there with you, Robo. Only grabbed one. Thought about it, saw that they were still in stock, thought some more, then went to order another and they were sold out. Will need to grab one more when they come back. Gotta think they'll reup for PulseCon. I am also looking forward to grabbing at least one of the inevitable Python Patrol repaints.
I love this set so much. I had a blast unboxing it and being a kid again. However mine does have the exact same issues yours does with the one side of the canopy and the off-centered tampo. Disappointing but I still love it.
I got two of these sets because I need two TBubbles for the Crimson Twins. The Televipers were an afterthought, but seeing them now I'm glad they were included. The extra heads are just icing on the cake.
I like the Pod and Figure. But I HATE the box! So much waist space! It could be 1/3 less the size. Heck. 1/2 the box is empty space. A shame. Could save 5 dollars cost lol
Wanted to see if you could find out where that mine goes, I hate accessories that don't store on the vehicle. Btw I also had problems with my canopy closing on the same side but shaved the peg a bit instead of the hole and that seemed to work out fine too.
I had the foresight to buy four flight pods. Well maybe the fact I’ve cut way back on everything else gave me more wiggle room. I’m about 60% sure Hasbro does the recolor on this, probably crimson red. That will come with a stand. Honestly they have a perfect mold to borrow from in company. They are a Can of Beams style glider holder away from clipping onto the bottom of the Bubble on then plugging into that ball on Fortnite stand. The Trubble Bubbles were fun hand candy as a kid and just so much so as an adult.
3:37 Robo using a heatgun without gloves is giving me the anxiousness. Your a loose cannon with that heatgun Robo, and in this precinct we do things by the book
I am so sooo excited to get these!! But I don't know who I want to put in there... probably those crimson versions of the twins that are coming out... we'll see. And Robo, you are exactly right! I never watched GI Joe and knew very little about it, but after getting Serpentor and a couple troopers I knew I had to dive in. I've been watching old episodes of the cartoon on TH-cam and collecting these awesome figures ferociously now!! 😅
Great review! Funny thing about availability. This didn't sell out when the pre-orders came up. IN fact, they were available for MONTHS. it only sold out in late August. It's possible that more might show up but I honestly don't know what Hasbro's policy is on reorders from their manufacturer.
13:19 I’ve been frantically trying to find this figure since the video came out. What is it? Where can I get it? Maybe @TheFwoosh or someone else could fill us in? Is it a custom? I’d love to know!
I feel like that triangular ball joint stand we've seen with Marvel Legends and Black Series releases would work here if there were a hole. It wouldn't be very high but that ball joint would allow for some expressive poses. These figures are great but I've dropped off them this year. A major factor for that is they're harder to find for me, here in the UK aside from Pulse I've hardly ever seen any in person, and on Pulse they're constantly out of stock. Plus since I've been prioritizing more near and dear stuff, G.I. Joe doesn't fall into that category, so I'm okay skipping out on them in favour of my comic stuff, or Star Wars stuff, or Indiana Jones, or Universal Monsters, or Pred- you know what, there's a lot out there to collect.
I love the intro because when I first saw the name on the box in target, I kept thinking of sketches where different Cobra soldiers and higher-ranking members would keep going up to Scrap Iron and asking “All that R&D time for “Trouble Bubble?” And of course bonus points for the use of Brian Regan
Those loops on the mine make me think the mine was supposed to come with a string to be carried under the TB? 🧐 TV was one of my main Cobras back in the day, and I’m hoping the Target PP redeco comes with all three heads. #ThatsWhatSheSaid #IDontCareWhereYouComeAsLongAsYouLickItUp!
Good call with heating the laser cannon. I didn't do that and almost broke the ball peg off. "Almost" at least means I didn't destroy it! Definitely heat that up first.
This line is so much fun to collect and since I have been collecting this line I have almost completely forgotten about the black series and Gi Joe just brings me back to my late middle school and high school days when the cartoon was on television which I own the entire Sunbow series on dvd now.
Never got a televiper as a kid because I hated the helmet, but as an adult I had to nab this looks much better 30+ years later to me.
“Well, ok. If you can fit a Trubble Bubble in your mouth…” (makes “call me” gesture). Literal coffee SPIT TAKE! LMAO
Haha, I was afraid people would take that as a surf's up gesture, for whatever reason.
I wish you would get stuff early! Because you are one of if not the best figure reviewer out there up close Hands not all in the way so on so forth! I just watched this review even though I already own my own five of them LOL!
Hey @TheFwoosh,
On my Trouble Bubble the air mine plugs into the back of the front mounted big gun. Have you tried that?
Yep I have the canopy issue too.
Still, this thing is so fun - so much better than getting another motorcycle. They got it right doing a small, massable vehicle with a well-done army builder.
Also, they finally seem to have landed on a common head ball size - the Cobra officer and viper were different from the crimson guard and each other; this one uses the same size as crimson guard, Tomax, Xamot, and Shipwreck.
Same here
Now we just need a proper neck length standard. I swapped extra Craig and Hector heads, ShipRoll has a long neck, RockWreck has no neck. 🤦♂️
I might be in the minority on this but I like the Windowless packaging, they replace it with Cool, Badass Art from front to back. Not to mention they also show you in cool art all the accessories, it looks so good! Makes you wanna keep the box afterwards instead of throwing it away, lol.
Y'know, I agree with that.
For the larger boxes that's true, but some of the the individual figs. look horrible.
@@dariusq8894 Well that's not the boxes fault, it's production, lol.
And it all ends up in the trash anyway, so.....
@@TheFwooshspeak for yourself, Beardo.

Every review I hear the same thing. I shoulda got 3, I shoulda got 3. Well guess what? I GOT 3!!!!
What is the small loop on the sky mine? Does it attach somewhere on the Bubble?
Complaint number 1, I need my Hiss Haslab.
My only annoyance with this thing
That left side missile was born loose. Might be a defect in the mold(making the hole ever so slightly too big).
No stands for all these items that hover in the air. Same with the Chariot. I was able to make adapters to go wit my stands but it's still annoying.
I also thought Robo was breaking into a rap at the end.
Intro is epic 😂
All I could think while watching this was … Veebs got his first. 😅😅😅
Haha, shush!

Thank you for the tip with the canopy. Got 3 myself and all 3 had the same issue as yours. Maybe that's why there hasn't been a restock yet, to fix this QC issue?
Hopefully, it's such an easy little tweak, maybe they are taking care of it at the factory.
So what gum do you think he has in his many pouches? My money is on Dubble Bubble.
And yeah, it really should have come with some sort of flight stand at $55. Then again when I finally set up a Joe display I plan on having the two I got suspended from a shelf, strafing some Joes.
Brian Regan was a nice touch, but a lil' dash of Pork Soda too? 10/10
Heh, I gotta respect my influences!
Without foot rests, that 5 point harness is going to get very familiar with your crotchal region...
Yeah, we talked about that during the last FwooshCast. If you aren't strapped tight you're going to have yourself a state fair ride situation.
I passed on this initially because I didn't know where I was going to put it. I still don't know, but if it comes back in I'm pretty sure I'm grabbing one.

Came for the intro
Stayed for the review
3:32 💪🏻💪🏻
got one waiting for dwlivery .... i will pair this with Firefly.. COBRaaaaaaAAAaaa!!!
I missed out on this. What a disappointment.
I am making a stand for this, just finished it up last night!
Yeah, get TWO! them sitting next to each other is cool!!
While I liked G.I. Joe's growing up originally the line didn't give me much interest more then soldier fodder against my legends and DC figures. Now I'm all in, I collect all Joe's and most cobra figures!!!
I seen someone plug the top of the mine into the butt end of the big gun.
Gotta be the easiest thing to shoot down lol
fishing line/fishing wire for 14:50
But the more important question that needs to be answered: Did Veebs ever receive his PayPal payment notification, or did he get...Snow-Jobbed? 😊
He did! About 15 minutes after we ended the stream, haha!
I love the retro sci-fi look of this. Sure, the military stuff in Classified is the bread and butter, but this is what's gonna make me buy a figure. Feels perfect for some classic Nick Fury hijinks! Some of these guys on some durable stands like Obitsu stands or something and you can get a cool escape scene going.
I might get two... my figures are gonna have to prepare for bubble, and make it double!
Hasbro exclusives are making it really easy for hasbro to save me money. I will not buy from those shitty scalpers.
I love Trouble Bubble: Bubble Gum
especially due to the lack of a stand post hole, these definitely get the fishing line to a screw hook in the ceiling treatment
I think that's a Zune on his belt.
I got 4 on the way. If they restock I’d have to stop myself from getting a few more. Just don’t need that many televipers.
This is yet another review where the HUD was put on crooked. Just got mine in the mail and won't be too thrilled if they are all wonky.
I got 4. I have a nice air support for ground troops. Didn’t know they sold out
My canopy is exactly the same I’m just gonna snip the part that doesn’t click in
I had the same issues with my clear dome, it didn't close flush
I hated the there was place for the mine to plug onto the Flight Pod.
I have missed your GI Joe reviews. I know you have plenty to review. Looking forward to more GI Joe reviews.
that damn televiper voice lmao the standard noob henchmen voice 🤣🤣🤣
They can't all be unique, haha!
Robo since you have the Mezco Destro you should use that stand for the trubble bubble since it has the cobra logo on it
That is a GREAT idea, thanks! Now I need to open Destro....
Because of the purple, I feel like the Marvel Legends Paladin could be fudged in to some televiper unit.
i don't need the Trouble Bubble... i definately don't need it...I don't need it...but i kinda want it...
I hope that the tele viper and destro being a running gag of helping naming the equipment
Should have came with some kind of flight stand tbh
Too damn expensive. I refuse to buy at 55. All I want is the figure
Seems to be some qc issues as well.
My favorite vehicle was always the F.A.N.G helicopter. I'm crossing my fingers that they release one next year.
Funny thing, I think I had the FANG as a kid and not the Trubble Bubble, but I remember the Trubble Bubble way more than the FANG.
I got two and I only opened 1 so far cause I want more and keep 1 in box
You actually gave a review and talked about it and what you liked and didn’t…and gave a overall opinion….very good sir 🤘🏻 all the other “reviews” are let me show my stuff off …..and yeah that’s part of it but
Me too. Very entertaining reviews as well
Is it just me or is the televiper’s screen on his arm printed upside down?
I'm pretty sure he worked security for Prince.
They purify themselves in the waters of Lake Minnetonka!
I can't wait for the target exclusive version
Right there with you, Robo. Only grabbed one. Thought about it, saw that they were still in stock, thought some more, then went to order another and they were sold out. Will need to grab one more when they come back. Gotta think they'll reup for PulseCon.
I am also looking forward to grabbing at least one of the inevitable Python Patrol repaints.
"Nice and tight and stiff." That's a good end to a weekend night out for the Televiper.😁
Scrap Iron and Copperhead have so much personality. You should def get them if you haven’t already
I JUST snagged Copperhead on Walmart for $20, can't wait!
I love this set so much. I had a blast unboxing it and being a kid again. However mine does have the exact same issues yours does with the one side of the canopy and the off-centered tampo. Disappointing but I still love it.
Yeah, it should bug me more than it does but it doesn't really damper my excitement at all, I love it too much!
Same here
I got 2 of them,and my targeting is off center too!
I got two of these sets because I need two TBubbles for the Crimson Twins. The Televipers were an afterthought, but seeing them now I'm glad they were included. The extra heads are just icing on the cake.

You mean the "Whammy Kablammy?"
@@steverino6954 yeah didn't know the technical term 🙂😉
Hasbro GIJOE TEAM is killing it!
The body is Recondo with a Vest.
That Primus reference tho 😏
I want to say the vintage version had the air mine shown on the packaging putting it in the seat like a drone.
would like to know how to get the black and grey cobra officer you put next to the tele viper and BAT trooper.
It's a custom.
"I got three kids dammit I should know how to do this" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

But the handle doesn't get hot? Hehehe.
I'm sad I missed this want to get two and repurpose one as a batman vehicle
Oooo, a bat logo on the front would look spiffy!
Yes sir!
I had some recent financial issues and had to cancel my pre-order for this. Hopefully they come back in stock at some point
I am so sooo excited to get these!! But I don't know who I want to put in there... probably those crimson versions of the twins that are coming out... we'll see. And Robo, you are exactly right!

Where does the damn hose go? It's just sitting here and I don't know where it goes lol
Heh, it's for the TeleViper backpack, runs to the gun.
@@TheFwoosh I feel like they should give instructions lol
Haha, believe me, I had to search pics until I figured it out, I was trying to plug it into the Trubble Bubble somewhere.
So funny!!
Looks like this needs a flight stand adapter.
Oooooooo, I'm in for one!

We have our hands on a vintage Cobra Hover Pod. It’s so flimsy compared to this updated CHP 🐍
The canopy issue seems very widespread. Unfortunate.
that one is different mine has a yellow helmet with the yellow parts combination of trouble bubble plus that windshield of yours is clear thats nice .
Classified series now taking the spotlight from the Legend series!
Those loops on the mine make me think the mine was supposed to come with a string to be carried under the TB? 🧐
TV was one of my main Cobras back in the day, and I’m hoping the Target PP redeco comes with all three heads.

Good call with heating the laser cannon. I didn't do that and almost broke the ball peg off. "Almost" at least means I didn't destroy it! Definitely heat that up first.
Mine came in in an … what I can only think was a stepped on outer box. And inside box not much better.
Anyways. Happy
To have it.
This line is so much fun to collect and since I have been collecting this line I have almost completely forgotten about the black series and Gi Joe just brings me back to my late middle school and high school days when the cartoon was on television which I own the entire Sunbow series on dvd now.
Brian Regan is the GOAT!!!
Yeah, every time we have a power outage or some kind of waiting period my whole family busts into "Can I come down and flip it? GO SWITCHFLIPPER!"
Got my trubble bubble, love it but the lack of stand for it drives me nuts!!!😬😬😬
Very cool, though shame about the lack of stand and the issues with the canopy.
For a second there I thought the 6x9 speaker was a Flux Capacitor 😂
1:16 😂🤣🤣🤣
Hmmm, the graphics on that gauntlet almost look like they'd be upside down when he looks at them. Feels like it should be on his left arm.
I knew it would be bad ass. I did pick up three but I checked out mine. I have that same issue with the canopy and that one missile keeps falling out.
Thanks Robo! I’m loving the one I got. Mines waiting for the Cobra Commander thats coming eventually with my HISS tank.
Mine is arriving today. Already figured on needing a Mezco stand to get this mutha up in the air bare.
I never had these as a kid. I couldn't wait until they entered the line so I ordered two. Endless fun and nostalgia!!!!
What's the name of that tool you used to calculate the measurements for the slots and pegs?
