I'm going to tell my kids this was Jeff Bezos

[@Cerdo_asqueroso]

Please don't do that.

[@joeyjoejoe1394]

I always loved Cobra Commander refusing to take Raptor seriously, it felt like Hama was speaking directly to the reader telling you how much he hates this character

[@johnnyfountainS]

I remember Raptor. Just like Darkhawk.

[@YeldellGW]

Unlike Crystal Ball, I can understand the hate this character gets.
Even by Cobra standards Raptor was out there.

[@xazylsclubhouse]

I've ways like the wilder side of Cobra so I'm a fan of Raptor, Big Boa, Road Pig and Croc Master. I think he does look a lot like a Native American warrior and use him as such. Great video!

[@nightshadeii9248]

Funny that Raptor works for an organization whose theme is his birds food source.

[@umagnus77]

that time the Blue Falcon was a member of Cobra

[@JohnAquariusPodcast]

My brother had this figure I knew nothing of this character so I interpreted his features as some kind of Native American shaman.

[@eDDyL666]

Had this figure

[@ScaryGarrySG1]

I always liked that Raptor was seen as a throwaway character, but was instrumental in the fake Cobra Commander storyline.

[@dsanchez9703]

Raptor is frkn cool, I wish they could have used him more.

[@kratoscraken5614]

He was the last G.I.JOE/COBRA figure I got. His design is interesting so it worked for me 👍

[@delfo_neto7313]

Thanks for the Videos J!

[@mikecrawley7739]

I've been in GI Joe collector my entire life 41 years. I absolutely love your videos super informative. Keep up the killer videos Man. Peace and good.

[@realmoftheouroboros8313]

He was the first cobra i got and the animal that go with it made him cobra's second up until me and my sis became waaaay to old playing with the toys.
as an accounted he was single handly resposible paying the troops.

[@marscomics9698]

Very interesting. Thanks for the video

[@shadowsystemproject]

To make Raptor into a serious scary character it would be epic to see him in a figure, video game, film, comic looking like a navajo skin walker sharman or witch doctor
Or even make him look like shadow tracker only more scary looking

[@cjalxndr]

Welcome back!

[@michaelmetler6315]

COCO's black uniform and hood look awesome! 🖖🖖

[@BlackHart730]

Can we get the Night Creepers.

[@jackieanderson9408]

Sweet 👍

[@louisrodriguez1428]

This very awesome I enjoy checking your videos out you think you can do one with gi joe guacho

[@quentinfogger5755]

Can you do history of DC Villains Dr Alchemy and Abracadabra?

[@quentinfogger5755]

Since you did the history of Marvel's Gorr_the_God_Butcher, Can you please do history of Marvel's Mangog?

[@jakeproven256]

G.I.Joe Special Missons #24 was not written by Larry Hama, and I think that makes sense because I can't imagine the genius that is Larry Hama writing such an awful story.

[@joezar33]

This character would of work in a old school DC or Marvel comic as a villain or even maybe a hero the whole Falconry gimmick would be kind of kool to see in a brozen age comic . For G.I Joe his kind of tacky and sticks out .

[@tommydeamon7657]

Memories love it thank you

[@danielherrin]

THANK YOU!!!!

[@badape3620]

Was he Cobras first cosplayer?

[@rezsurfer2808]

i was really into the comics during the story of CC son Billy, and Fake Cobra, and this end of Raptor. Was cool comics and in time i got older and naughty. Had to play catch up over the years now days. Miss what i lost i have no idea how comics went into brining people back and how things worked aftr 1990s comics got wierd.

[@citadelli]

I love the Joes but they did start losing me w the marvel bad guys style. I guess Raptor used the same tailor as Mindbender? Lol

[@jtompkins1277]

No Dial Tone? His romance with Zarana?

[@tommydeamon7657]

Lol one of the last gi joe figures I bought before I stopped back in the day and some how it made it past the b.b guns and the fire crackers

[@jamesmoss3424]

He used his birds for evil.

[@collaborativedataaccounts3249]

Raptor does not suck

[@evanscott9473]

Cobra owned a mink farm? Lol, really? ::sigh::

[@AgentNevets]

I…I like Raptor. I mean, he’s dumb, but I don’t care lol.

[@robbiemac281]

Agreed

[@jakeproven256]

Raptor sucks, look I have no clue what Raptor fans I'm gonna make upset right now, but this has to be one the most awful G.I.Joe villains ever created. The reason characters like the vulture from Spider-man works is because he's a fun character and I've even seen stories where he's even sympathetic. Raptor is none of those things, he was annoying and protentious as hell in the marvel comic. My favorite apearence of Raptor was issues 98 and 99, and that's just because in those two issues he's killed off, trust me you know a character is bad when my favorite story with them, is them getting unceremoniously killed off. He's up their with Fred 7 as worst G.I.Joe villains, which fortunetly the number is small.

[@joezar33]

His apprance is interesting but pretty basic. He can do what most falconry can do in real life .. it G.I Joe his way over the top of a comic book looking character he stick out too much. if this was "Marvel or DC" a character like this could work as a villain or a hero who made a few cameos in a comic . His name is hell of stupid it should of been "The Falconry" Raptor makes me think of the Dinosaurs.

[@TheToyOdyssey]

Top 3 worse GI Joe character ever.💩🤣😂
