I have the lower parts of the MASS device and the filled element vials, but I topped it with the Weather Dominator after finding the rest of the MASS device too pricey for my liking. Great review!
I used my Kreo/Lego figures to display with it. The pegs on the back are so Destro can stand on the back and use the hand grips of the weather dominator. Also there was a pyramid of darkness pieces.
Wow! Neat piece. I agree that it’s a bit of a shame that it was smaller than it “should have been” but it’s still a really cool piece. I regret not paying more attention to the Joe products back in 2008. And I have to admit that I LOL’d at the practical applications for the M.A.S.S. Device around the house! Awesome work. :D
Funny part with the doggie. His expression was magic that added to the scene. It's more full review since you featured episode footage from a DVD included in one of the sets. Clips related to the toy are an appreciated production effort. Recreating the M.A.S.S. device beam was a surprisingly beautiful use of a skill I don't see in a toy reviews, but really glad I did. Also, I like the personal insight how you point out the smaller figures depict the scale better. It's an amazing video, and you're finding fun ways to keep toy reviews intriguing :D
About 15 minutes into this fantastic review. I start to think hmmmmm I know this smooth voice. I look at the maker of the video and to my shock it was Mercy from armchair directors. Great stuff.
I suppose my first (and only, so far) purchase towards Joe collecting was the full DVD of "The M.A.S.S. Effect". I remember when I first saw the mini-series. It was the greatest thing I'd ever seen. Coupled with the toy commercials, I was hooked (still am, apparently). I can almost still feel the anticipation of the next episode. Struggling to not go to the bathroom, at least until a commercial break...; not even so much, then. I can't remember how I knew a daily cartoon was going to follow.. but I can remember it came on everyday, after school, with me in audience. Always wondered why there was no toy of the device. But, now I know. And, knowing is half the battle...
Whhhhat crazy can’t believe you have one this is dope they need to make a movie out of those 5 episodes... so many episodes you can make a movie out of the G.I. Joe story
Definitely enjoy your Gi. Joe reviews. Im thinking about getting back into collecting gi. Joes. By far my favorite video is the one you did about the Uss Flag and all 12 chapters of the vintage 80s museum. Only thing you're missing is the Kenner Super Powers. I would love to collect Gi. Joe right now im collecting Marvel legends DC universe/ Multiverse figures and Marvel Select Figures. Thankyou for the Nostalgia toy museum videos. Looking forward to see more.
I was lucky enough to get both the MASS Device and Weather Dominator when they were released at retail. Now all I need is a Terror Drome to go with it! 😄
In the live Justice League action movie, there were three power cubes that were used by Stepponwolf. Could they be the same ones used to power the MASS device? XD
1:55 I don't think it qualifies as a true McGuffin because it actually has a purpose and has a function. A real McGuffin is like the Maltese Falcon or the suitcase in Pulp Fiction. They are just objects that drive the plot forward but don't really do anything themselves.
Battle pack #5 was never in my area so my M.A.S.S device sits incomplete in my toy cave sadly it is the only pack missing as I even got the 3figures to have the element filled pods. *sigh* Some day I will fi d it at a reasonable price.😢
That reminds me: how about a life-size replica of the MacGuffin Device? (Note: might not really make your made-up on the spot fairy tales come to life) Or Fatal Fluffy plushie dolls?
Here in England we had 'Action Force'. Action Force figures came on the market due to the success sales of the Kenner Star Wars figures. So these figures were the same size and design in thier simple up and down limb movements (before those hideous elbow and knee bending figures which didn't seem to fit in). We couldn't afford to buy both collections so I ended up with some figures from both sets. I had brutal mashup battles with my collections and they have since been passed down to younger family members and my friend's children who enjoy the figures. I think that 'Action Force' was an international force whereas 'GI Joe' was more of a US force. I am not entirely sure about this but I suspect that 'Action Force' merged into G.I.Joe? Also, I have to mention something mysterious about my Star Wars figures. Some of them had a fruity scent. Like dark berry bubble gum. If anyone can clear up this mystery I'd be most grapefruit!

Now I know my life won't be complete without the MASS Device and possibly the Weather Dominator
They also had the radioactive sick Snake Eyes with container of crystals. He’s the Hoth Chewbacca of the GI Joe line.
Really digging your GI Joe reviews, they have the best production values on youtube. Hope you might do some vintage vehicle reviews in the future.
Thanks! Yup, lots of vintage Joe & Cobra vehicle & playset reviews coming soon!

Nice mix of nostalgia and production quality. Really pushing the TH-cam envelope!
Your videos are an awesome trip down memory lane. Growing up in the 80s was awesome
Love it man now that takes me back to the 80tees God bless you
Thanks ! :D

Thanks Mike! I think it needs new batteries, some of my plates went missing.
The M.A.S.S device episodes where some of my favourite.

What an awesome doggo!

Perhaps I should have named this channel "The Guy on the Right"? :D

Very cool
That was always one of my favorite mini series from gi joe. Cool
Absolutely amazing! What a beautiful piece!
Thanks! :D
Thank you for that, it's one of the best TH-cam episodes of anything I've ever seen! I enjoyed it a lot! hope to see more like that.
Mike! We love you buddy! Patiently awaiting the snow...
We had a good snowfall this week, but alas, I'm fresh out of D batteries! :O
Dang. We need a MASS Device to send you some! In Africa, peeps still walk around with boomboxes. 'D' batteries everywhere!
This is a very cool review of the Cobra M.A.S.S. Device and way to use it for transporting your dishes and sending your dog out for a walk. LOL.
Excellent video....
Thanks! :D
I hope the mass device always plays that funky G.I. Joe music every time it activates. XD
So glad I got this and the three filled up element containers back in 08. I want the B.E.T., but I don't think Hasbro ever made one.
You certainly saved a lot of money getting it when it first came out! A B.E.T. would be awesome, but would probably need 8 D batteries! :D
Using D batteries would be so much better, retro-feel.
We use to use any other old toys we had and called it the B.E.T.
Great video. I didn't realize you had to buy so many Figures and sets to get all the parts for the Mass Device.
awesome review sir thank you for making your videos
Thanks for watching! :D
was thinking of re creating the mass device elements using Halloween slime
Awesome video I really enjoyed it and all your other videos! Very funny thx
I will have to look on eBay for this, Michael. Another good G.I. Joe toy review, as always! Yo Joe!
Thanks Willie! Yo Joe!
I wish they had a custom Weather Dominator play set built to scale. That would be awesome.
Whhhhat crazy can’t believe you have one this is dope they need to make a movie out of those 5 episodes... so many episodes you can make a movie out of the G.I. Joe story
I have the GI Joe dvd of this cartoon.
That was AWESOME 👏
GREAT JOB!!
I really think the mass device should have been its actual size but its pretty cool
Unfortunately, I put in the meteorite element in without pointing the beam emitter away from me, so I lost my left ear. Safety first, people!
Definitely enjoy your Gi. Joe reviews. Im thinking about getting back into collecting gi. Joes. By far my favorite video is the one you did about the Uss Flag and all 12 chapters of the vintage 80s museum. Only thing you're missing is the Kenner Super Powers. I would love to collect Gi.

Yaaay snow ! Thanks Mike :D
We just got some more! As soon as I find some more D batteries, I'll send some your way. Yo Joburg! :D
What are some of the vehicles that never got a toy? Example like the Cobra jet that had the snake head on the front of it.
very clever review my friend, enjoyed it a lot!
Thanks!
I was lucky enough to get both the MASS Device and Weather Dominator when they were released at retail. Now all I need is a Terror Drome to go with it! 😄
Extremely fun video! Yo Joe
Thanks! Yo Joe! :D
Haha. Im glad it was made. I just dont have my old collection any longer Nice video. Creative use of the device by the way.
Haha so good! Did Joburg receive that snow??
As a fellow Canadian i feel your pain. I gave up on this set.
We got more snow and I found more of all three rare elements, but I don't have any more of these huge batteries. :D
The video sound is pretty good, beyond my imagination
this was RIGHTEOUS
:D
too cool! Thanks for a GREAT video.. Love it! You can beam your USS Flagg my way.. never came out here in Norway in the 80's! Yo Joe!!!!
I would but I'm all out of heavy water. :D
My fav Gijoe mini series is Arise serpentor Arise
That search to get all the parts for any collector had to be a headache. I wouldn't bother. Ridiculous
That thing is really awesome there was a guy selling one of those on offer up out here he wanted like $600 for it
I love
Gijoe
It was my childhood years
Thank you for your amazing fun and
Funny videos ❤️🚀🚀🚀🚀
Thanks Sevag! :D
I'm missing the first piece, I've got all the rest. 🙃sets so expensive.
In the live Justice League action movie, there were three power cubes that were used by Stepponwolf. Could they be the same ones used to power the MASS device? XD
1:55 I don't think it qualifies as a true McGuffin because it actually has a purpose and has a function. A real McGuffin is like the Maltese Falcon or the suitcase in Pulp Fiction. They are just objects that drive the plot forward but don't really do anything themselves.
cool review Yo Joe.
Yo Joe!
Aww Cool! The 3 Elements! lol
What set did the trolley & cubes come from?
I would have paid $50 or $60 for a full scale size M.A.S.S. device!!
No pyramid of darkness?
Battle pack #5 was never in my area so my M.A.S.S device sits incomplete in my toy cave sadly it is the only pack missing as I even got the 3figures to have the element filled pods. *sigh* Some day I will fi d it at a reasonable price.😢
Cobra!!!!
:D
Super McGuffin 🤣🤣
That reminds me: how about a life-size replica of the MacGuffin Device? (Note: might not really make your made-up on the spot fairy tales come to life)
Or Fatal Fluffy plushie dolls?
Too funny!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Yo Joe! :D
If I may ask, how much did they ring ya for the MASS Device on e-bay?
Can't remember anymore. :D
how much was it.. when you bought the M.A.S.S device.
I can't remember. It wasn't cheap but it wasn't insane either.
12;02 Classic
great video I had fun
That's what it's all about! :D
just too cool! lol.
Love that you acquiring the toy mass device what in itself a quest much like the show.
😆
Should of released it back in the day would of been a huge hit
Plus a huge Weather Dominator and B.E.T.!
yea like the terror drome size
I like it a lot

Haha I can't say any of my figures smell fruity except maybe some of my wife's Princess of Power figures. :D
The elements are very, very beautiful...🤩
🔥💧☄
Could you 3d print that?
ain't "heavy water" the waste product from nuclear power plants? Seems like they could get that one for free if they just asked around.
당신은 매우 아름다운 이미지를 만들고 Nghia Tui는 그것을 정말 좋아합니다.
감사합니다
凸⇒((((🥚⇒\\💥🐣//
Never even knew they sold the 'mass device' ...& the 'weather dominator'?... Amazing, really takes me back. Very cool thanks for sharing.
The video sound is pretty good, beyond my imagination
