Worst G.I. Joe Vehicles Ever Made? - Toy Federation Podcast

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: welcome to toy federation the broadcast hello we're back again andy travis travis andy myself ryan ryan from miami yep watches colombo and i like colombo we uh when we also have a toy store in greer south carolina if you're new and we also do two cool killer toy shows a year we're talking about joe vehicles i believe so whether they're good bad indifferent indifferent there's something we like them we didn't like them we had them as a kid maybe we didn't have them wanted them do they come into the shop often do they not coming often do we wish they came in do we are we glad they don't come in yeah so we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna find out we're gonna we don't know which ones we're gonna see but we're gonna find out real quick right right about now right right about now listen [00:01:02] Speaker 2: there are songs right about now yeah funk something yeah funk soul brother soul brother fat boy slim is it really yeah fat boy travis knows i had that album travis said that and tool yep that's it [00:01:17] Speaker 3: i had others but yeah i had those all right so we are looking at the gi joe swamp masher [00:01:25] Speaker 1: you know i always thought it was called swamp smasher did you think that too yep i think it's just a is this a typo box or we were wrong all along wrong all along well swamp smasher sounds cool or [00:01:37] Speaker 2: swamp masher masher sounds what yeah you're mashing it or you're smashing man is there a difference [00:01:42] Speaker 3: it's probably better to smash a swamp than mash who mashed my swamp right yeah you can get smashed [00:01:47] Speaker 1: potatoes or mashed potatoes right right what is it it's mashed potatoes right right it's mashed potato yeah that's the only term the only cool part about this box is the sticker that's just free metalized super trooper yep that is it this vehicle's horrendous yeah it's got what 12 wheels first of all it would need tracks because that's just gonna get stuck in the mud you're gonna get bogged down you need tracks [00:02:14] Speaker 3: right who's the driver i believe that's muskrat and then hard balls in the back hard balls in the back [00:02:24] Speaker 1: this is so bad yeah this is a vehicle we probably have 40 50 30 7. yes but i believe they're all [00:02:34] Speaker 3: pretty much broken is it they didn't survive well no it's it's the wheels break there ain't no really there ain't no hose yeah ain't no hose what's what's that on the railing it's a handlebar oh that's a [00:02:45] Speaker 1: rail hard balls holding on to it yeah but but why it's not much of a swamp he can't get a seat he just gets a rail i use it well he's ready for action yeah he can jump off where the guy driving he's kind of stuck okay all right but uh yeah we don't if you brought this in we really didn't want it five [00:03:08] Speaker 3: bucks we really don't we it's yeah i mean we we might sell one a year maybe two yeah we don't [00:03:16] Speaker 1: we probably throw them on ebay then oh yeah they'll probably burn out of here i think we literally sold out of mud fighters which is amazing and we had all a lot yeah so i don't know if they're buying them just because they're gonna work on those sea rays we say oh yeah we sold some sea rays we got more to go [00:03:33] Speaker 2: this would be a pretty good like green goblin mobile or something yeah you know it's a hulk car yeah right yeah yeah yeah the hulk masher hulk masher oh yeah that'd be good right i mean the colors i [00:03:44] Speaker 1: could see that yeah but yeah for a swamp though you should have given it dreadnought colors purple minigun [00:03:50] Speaker 2: yeah ridiculous paint paint that minigun purple it's a mini blaster sir oh geez i forgot i'm gonna get bleeped right probably but that's the name of it hi gatlin blaster laser gatlinburg now it's a town we just call them gatlin gatlinburg so it's a fast blaster yeah we say that sure okay [00:04:14] Speaker 1: see lucas was so ahead of the game blaster he knew he was gonna get flagged they know [00:04:21] Speaker 3: all right let's go to the next yeah not for this smart match it's the joe where's the new cobra [00:04:26] Speaker 4: commander here with the new cobra pogo now it's in front of you now it's behind rector let's take off an attack cobra jose got trouble he's got it bad close focus got a pogo and it's up his head back you and tunnel rock set up a slam defense [00:04:50] Speaker 5: what will happen find out in marvel comics [00:04:54] Speaker 3: oh man they just keep coming the hits keep coming the cobra pogo i'm in charge of uh i'm [00:05:02] Speaker 1: uh so yeah we're looking at an organization the cobra pogo and it is kind of cool that uh usually the names the the acronyms spell something not so much here all right so yeah pogo cobra ballistic battle [00:05:18] Speaker 3: ball so cbb b b b didn't wouldn't work it's basically a jumping hamster ball i but i i like i don't [00:05:27] Speaker 1: totally hate this one like i thought it was kind of i don't i don't know what it [00:05:32] Speaker 2: it did just just to verify it it isn't it it's not physically springy it's supposed to appear as though oh yeah it's not springy well that's that's disappointing that would have made it cooler and [00:05:46] Speaker 3: then the star brigade one's really weird oh yeah yeah i forgot about that one neon green yeah gold and [00:05:54] Speaker 1: white blue right that's star brigade right yeah yeah umbilical because the stellar stiletto has a star brigade but it's white all right yeah white blue and orange yeah no i don't i don't i don't really hate this vehicle and this will sell uh and then i think there's a discrepancy where there's enough pegs to accommodate an additional yeah excuse me an additional missile but it doesn't get it to me [00:06:19] Speaker 3: this thing would have been cooler if it was like stationary and it was like like a turret you could [00:06:27] Speaker 2: post up and just spin around and shoot yeah that would be cool well it's kind of like the the central part of it looks cool and the legs are disappointing do you see the footprint where it took off oh yeah [00:06:38] Speaker 1: see like the cross in the ground that's cool so they're easy you can track them easy x marks the spot [00:06:44] Speaker 2: right you know the pogo's been here why doesn't it just fly it's already got a booster on the bottom [00:06:50] Speaker 1: but i don't if he tops up he can't see the ground at all he's really poor visibility uh he's got that [00:06:58] Speaker 3: radar dish in the glass though is that projected on there so so there's the targeting so he could aim out [00:07:03] Speaker 1: the glass but the missiles shoot up yeah so it's like of zero use what happens if one of the legs gets [00:07:09] Speaker 2: a little too springy does it throw you way off balance good it unevenly pogo and then you land faced down faced face down or face down well you could say either but it's it's face down can you say either really though well he's faced down he is faced down he's facing down facing down faced yeah he's faced he's faced down yeah there you go anyway so he lands face down right faced right and and then what [00:07:43] Speaker 3: that's it that's the the end of the adventure well my thing is is like the bottom rotates right the gun or blaster sorry um so if you're in the heat of battle and you're spinning around what happens if you blast your own legs and wires hanging i think they yes you done goofed right they got it all figured out [00:08:02] Speaker 1: just like you can't shoot out the propeller on the airplane i don't know it was timed cobras figured [00:08:09] Speaker 2: all this out it's got a lot of money i just it look it looks it looks fun enough to play with but like [00:08:19] Speaker 3: yeah it's logistically it's a nightmare yeah like it looks like a fun vehicle that shouldn't be weaponized [00:08:27] Speaker 2: all right it's a spy door all right it is all right let's go to the next one this all right so we're mobile battle bunker yeah yeah this whole dome i don't like this at all [00:08:43] Speaker 1: i don't know it feels like it's so is that top top side who's to the right of him uh [00:08:51] Speaker 3: i can't tell who that is can't really tell from the glare uh he's got the ambushes in the bottom [00:08:58] Speaker 1: right right i can't tell who that guy is the guy that's good bullhorn it's got the face paint like [00:09:04] Speaker 2: in streaks on his face maybe it's a little horn i can't does he have a bandana yeah okay then that's [00:09:09] Speaker 1: who it is this isn't terrible it doesn't sell that well it's it's at least army green that's about it and the missiles aren't like some weird color yeah but it's this accordion [00:09:25] Speaker 2: it looks like a weaponized helmet this would be really great as a judging panel and when you fail they just blast you to pieces it's launched like doesn't this look like america's got talent at the [00:09:38] Speaker 1: very top of it they're like you shocked it's like like a running man like games or something [00:09:47] Speaker 3: it looks like captain gridiron's football helmet made into a vehicle yeah yeah it does look like [00:09:52] Speaker 1: the eyes and like a mask at the front the teeth or something or like someone's opening a to-go box it's a mobile bunker mode it's like a big mac styrofoam container put your fries in there so what's funny is it's a mobile bunker but they're seated outside how is a bunker mobile so they're they're totally exposed like instead of being seated inside yeah i mean i don't hate it but i don't like it yeah yeah no i i yeah i mean i think for a minute we had trouble with those seats oh yeah so it's not like we have bins of this even though i do think we have bins now do the seats tuck inside [00:10:37] Speaker 2: no so then it's there they're always exposed yeah so they're not really part of the bunk they're not in the bunker because the bunker is there to protect you from its enemy it's not but not those guys no [00:10:49] Speaker 1: only ambush who's hiding down who's driving yeah but it doesn't protect you once you open it right so you got to open it and fire quick and then it closes but the guys on top are screwed yeah it's [00:11:02] Speaker 2: like the gi joe clam it's it's just a bunker sometimes but one guy bunker mostly it's better [00:11:11] Speaker 6: than every battleforce 2000 vehicle no no yeah no those are those are not good no man that thing [00:11:18] Speaker 3: those are all a wreck yeah it was such a disappointment all right let's go to the next one ah yes so this was cool i like the stun it was featured heavily in the cartoon [00:11:33] Speaker 2: i think it's in the movie in the movie cool looking design or the movie yeah yeah i mean it [00:11:38] Speaker 3: was in the cartoon what's the splitting thing though what is two turrets shooting but they could [00:11:44] Speaker 1: still shoot the same way they just spread out so they could angle angle so that's so is there a [00:11:50] Speaker 2: driver two you get two well is it the guy on the back though well three it's the motor viper what's [00:11:57] Speaker 3: what i'm saying like does he like just he's driving in the center there's two manning the turrets right maybe he just hits the split button well you got the commander they get the guy saying all right [00:12:08] Speaker 1: shoot left shoot right yeah because maybe they can't see see right they can't see anything because [00:12:14] Speaker 2: there's i still i feel like this vehicle requires a lot of trust can't see what they just saw great see [00:12:19] Speaker 1: they can't see though in the picture they can't but maybe in this i don't remember now i just know [00:12:25] Speaker 3: the flags are horrendous oh yeah anything anything red on there shatters yeah instantly well you could [00:12:32] Speaker 1: have it even if you just said all right i'm going to do a red pole and then you and the sticker sheet you had the full thing where you fold it over the pole and touch the ends yeah then you wouldn't have the the flag get brittle and crumble you'd have to worry about this the stick part breaking why would you [00:12:50] Speaker 2: need flags though like yeah they could have made the poles out of metal i mean they the wheel bearings [00:12:55] Speaker 3: usually aren't they like a metal bar do you remember yeah generally on some of the earlier vehicles i [00:13:02] Speaker 1: think this was kmart but their shopping carts some of them had flags yeah do you remember that what was [00:13:09] Speaker 3: the point of that there's there's places now you go shopping and have like the long poles so you don't like go out the door with the is that why that was yeah so you can't take them that's why we find walmart ones in our parking lot because they don't have this is that because they just let the [00:13:23] Speaker 1: thieves walk out with the stuff anyway because they're not allowed to do anything yes so at least you have to manually so you take the cart to the front yeah and then just grab the stuff and then [00:13:32] Speaker 2: walk out yeah yeah so then that's you know but in the 80s i remember i think that's the general design [00:13:41] Speaker 1: for them though people didn't steal as much as they do now or you just didn't realize it because you were [00:13:48] Speaker 2: younger yeah yeah well i mean yeah this is a generally a well this is the flags you know [00:13:55] Speaker 1: because the military vehicles they'll have flags for units and so that's a thing that happens they should have put more but more like on command vehicles and but i mean so i guess you know they were adding that element but it's just flying cobra flags it's not like a unit [00:14:12] Speaker 2: marking looks like two golf holes it's it's kind of a kind of a go-kart because like if you had like [00:14:19] Speaker 1: a tank in world war ii the command tank had more antennas yeah yeah it was you know like you you would [00:14:25] Speaker 2: know well but these aren't antennas though this is oh no i know right these are flags this is so joe knows what's up right you know ain't no one else driving that thing with cobra this is this cobra yeah we named this land in the name of cobra i don't know how mine bender got stuck into this job [00:14:41] Speaker 1: because you know he's just creating like he's there with some flunkies it's like a doctor he has a [00:14:46] Speaker 2: license a doctor driving stun crimson guard larry didn't show up for a shift well you almost wonder [00:14:55] Speaker 1: it's like well we got some back stock on uh mind benders what if we put them in more throw them in us throw them in the box art for this upcoming vehicle maybe that'll pick up sales they probably [00:15:07] Speaker 3: did have back stock on mind bender because they had to put accessory pack blasters in with them at [00:15:14] Speaker 2: one point or did that mean he sold really well and they're like oh we're running out of weapons i think [00:15:20] Speaker 1: they just brushed up the floor and you know what do we got what do we got what do we got all right [00:15:26] Speaker 7: let's go next nobody beats g.i joe action packs now new g.i joe action packs joe's battling cobra with action packs his secret new weapon for cobra attack slash g.i joe has new vehicle packs nobody beats [00:15:43] Speaker 5: g.i joe scuba back tank car and atv and the cobra gyrocopter and rocket sled nobody [00:15:50] Speaker 7: i'm talking about g.i joe a real american hero action packs and vehicle packs each sold separately [00:15:59] Speaker 1: these are terrible [00:16:02] Speaker 2: yeah so the one guy looks like he's about to wreck into the water these are g.i joe motorized uh [00:16:08] Speaker 1: vehicle packs yes that you could plug on their back and they look really stupid driving them [00:16:13] Speaker 3: i mean i would not want to carry an atv on my back [00:16:17] Speaker 1: yeah so it's not like there's even a harness to hold it or anything it just plugs into your bag i mean check out old wetsuit in the water there with the the scuba one oh that's cool that's probably the coolest one then yeah heavy that thing would be he [00:16:34] Speaker 3: would sink to the bottom and not be able to swim well that's why it's got to keep him going yeah [00:16:39] Speaker 2: run out of gas or that little but we don't get this these all that often right no i mean we've [00:16:44] Speaker 3: actually sold quite a few of these uh working or non-working to be honest yeah is that avalanche on [00:16:50] Speaker 2: the right uh no no but his spearhead spearhead spearhead why is he trying to shoot muskrat because [00:16:56] Speaker 1: he's because he's out racing him but he looks like he's like this grown man like on a big wheel yeah it's like they're on a dirt track and the other guy's doing a wheelie he's like we oh wow yeah well but the other one i've never had that to do it and put them in the water i'm sure it floats so then it probably just moves them along which is kind of we've had that one a few we think [00:17:19] Speaker 3: we've had every one of these except the one that has the uh the mines that thing's impossible to get [00:17:26] Speaker 2: complete spearhead looks like he's kind of sort of driving a lawnmower though but i mean it's just [00:17:33] Speaker 1: gi joe is like a powerhouse man they just had so i mean and they had price points for every for everything like if you couldn't afford you know like a sky striker or yeah you get a vehicle backpack you can get like these little motorized things you know i mean they're probably like three [00:17:51] Speaker 2: bucks yeah i mean it was just i'm supposed to believe they actually carry these on there but i [00:17:56] Speaker 1: mean the book i mean it's just the what is it the paraphernalia or the the all the sub things that joe [00:18:03] Speaker 3: had was like way more than star wars i think the craziest thing to me about these is they gave you sticker sheets for these yeah like why put that money into that they got to deal with the sticker [00:18:15] Speaker 2: factory apparently do you want a 62 you want a 42 all right we'll do that you want some stars yeah we [00:18:23] Speaker 1: got you spangle it cobra symbols are extra okay i didn't get any kind of mail away sticker sheet that'd be cool all right what do we got next your most favorite not really this is my unf so this cobra hydra sled horrendous i don't do do we even have one out if we do we do it's been there for years that's one of those [00:18:52] Speaker 3: things if you put it on the sidewalk and say free two more show up yeah yeah yeah no terrible i mean it [00:18:59] Speaker 1: looks it just cooler in the photo than what it is like a weaponized pool float you got the one dude [00:19:06] Speaker 2: watching youtube videos on octopuses or something yeah it's like some joe Cousteau or something [00:19:14] Speaker 1: it's what is it the sea worms or what is it the eels no it was the big was that oh the yeah yeah yeah [00:19:21] Speaker 3: the tube snakes or whatever they were i forget the name of them i mean it literally looks like yeah yeah it's like someone put a big windshield on an air mattress and added missiles it's just blew up a float cobra water bed right they took the splashing through the night they took the the car the car [00:19:42] Speaker 1: windshield sunscreen and put it on the on the inner tube just go straight out one of those metallic [00:19:48] Speaker 3: windshield screens in the pacific oh yeah you know it's bad too if it's only two flag points [00:19:58] Speaker 2: right about that it barely has a gun blaster like that's like the weakest gun i think i've seen oh [00:20:04] Speaker 3: yeah oh yeah it looks like two it looks like two arrows and a steak kebab coming out of it yeah [00:20:11] Speaker 1: i mean thin pivots in a grill i don't know what the grill your kebab that's sticking out of the front kebab kebab get some kebabs yeah they just turned that into a straight grill yeah it lands and then it's the cook yeah it cooks for everybody i mean i guess you could ditch the vehicle because where's the cobra cooks uh that's a good question wasn't the one living in the flag sunk underneath oh yeah [00:20:36] Speaker 2: uh they should have made that guy they have like mres though it's a little little package that's a good episode cobra symbol on it the flags underneath and they're [00:20:48] Speaker 1: all living in it yeah like it's there's like air pockets bring me an mre all right what do we got give me some gummy snakes all right this one is kind of cool really hard to do i did buy two but i think neither complete you're correct but then somebody did tell us this that little plastic stem thing you [00:21:12] Speaker 3: could get from another rc yeah at least so it stays the same material same color or whatever the guy's [00:21:18] Speaker 1: money yep rumbler yeah because he he has the stock or that strap yeah he's got the same gun swept [00:21:28] Speaker 3: blaster as uh heavy metal but it's gray yeah yeah uh ton of missiles ton of breakage points on that [00:21:40] Speaker 1: blaster on the back fin is this the commercial we hear or no we hear swamp what is it i want to say swamp fire what's the commercial or is this girl so crossfire well that's like crossfire is the board game oh i keep that would have been good for this the sweaty kids with the little guns shooting [00:21:58] Speaker 2: the bbs at the spinner thing and yeah and it's like fire yeah it's like apocalyptic yeah it's all just [00:22:06] Speaker 1: everybody's just teenagers this thing's tough yeah we've never had one boxed uh i have one at home and it took me forever like first it was the body then maybe the turret but then the turrets got problems because the little uh sights that stick up yeah those all break off bro so we have the handles i think that's the problem on the ones that we have i believe so because i think we have the full vehicle i even think we have maybe one of them has him those are some great figures though outback and [00:22:40] Speaker 3: chuckles are cool what's weird though is like as hard as i was in a joe as a kid i don't even remember [00:22:46] Speaker 1: seeing this as a kid yeah i i i learned about this right later and i was like how cool right how did i [00:22:53] Speaker 2: miss that there was this rc vehicle was it an exclusive or anything i mean not to my knowledge [00:22:59] Speaker 1: yeah and then to think that you didn't get like uh a cobra one yeah yeah but i think it's also 27 and maybe was it 47 i think it the megahertz or whatever the oh the power or control yeah i think it was it's pretty standard you could have got it either way so if you're i guess a completist you'd have to have each version because if you and your friend at it you're both controlling the same thing right yeah [00:23:27] Speaker 2: so you didn't the other channel kind of unfortunate that they've got those uh like foot stands for like was it chuckles and uh yeah outback yeah yeah they're like right in front of a missile i mean i [00:23:38] Speaker 3: wouldn't want to yeah i wouldn't want to be on the back of it either oh yeah oh the bouncing yeah see [00:23:44] Speaker 1: this i had the tamia did this uh rc thing and it was called the frog and this kind of i don't know reminds me a little bit of that because it was like a buggy like yeah because i mean i because i transitioned when i left models i got hard into building this r there was a phase in high school i was doing rc stuff and it was all this tamia stuff because i started off with a frog and then i got [00:24:14] Speaker 2: the hot shot i had one rc car that my dad got me and you know i had the big stupid giant right battery [00:24:23] Speaker 1: you know you'd have to charge it all right right and then you take forever to get you know maybe 20 minutes or 15 minutes yeah two batteries you're charging one while you're charging using the other [00:24:33] Speaker 2: yeah it was yeah it was fun but like it i don't know just it it didn't seem like there was always a place to play with it because you really needed a flat ground oh we just tore it up in the street in front of the house and then we jump ramps with them yeah but i you know i didn't i have ramp material at my dad's house i guess i could have made something because i thought i think i told you this story [00:24:58] Speaker 1: that we had we were doing the cars and it started getting dark and we left the ramp in front of our house whoops and a dude just riding his bike with no hands ghost ride the whip you know riding home yeah and then he just you hear this wipe out he he goes up the ramp and then falls crashes because we left the ramp out for jumping our our rc cars so negligent but i was like how did you not he just wasn't paying attention he was just like no he should he should be i mean he is but i mean it was getting dark it's on the road you know you're maybe looking up nuts and there's a little wooden ramp it wasn't but i mean it it knocked him out got him i wonder how much air he [00:25:48] Speaker 6: got flawless victory more than he wanted yeah but yeah that was a miss i wonder if they had planned [00:25:56] Speaker 1: if this sold better like why didn't you get a cobra rc so you could battle it's kind of funny that [00:26:03] Speaker 2: they put it like a window in it that's not something they did for a lot of joe vehicles either i mean they did do that for i guess some rcs maybe like cheaper smaller ones yeah yeah because why didn't because the tamia ones they were in a box right yeah mine was in a box with a styrofoam so why did they yeah choose this route i don't know maybe that's maybe that's part of the problem yeah it's almost like motu packing it is yeah all right totally which is not i mean it's not kind for future no no it doesn't hold up well at all i mean it would have been nicer to have a small window giant window bubble [00:26:39] Speaker 3: yeah yeah we interrupt our program to bring you this ask devin's segment who has better health [00:26:47] Speaker 8: insurance gi joe or cobra you know gi joe that's right cobra don't have no insurance that's right [00:26:56] Speaker 1: probably not you get hurt you get sent to the glue the glue factory factory [00:27:05] Speaker 8: or either the one enterprise of tomates and zamont ain't got a little poor policy of their insurance cheat [00:27:22] Speaker 2: oh yeah that's the good stuff cobra buzz boar that dude looks like the door is fighting him he's trying to escape yeah he's trying to like save his own life no no no no no no no no no [00:27:36] Speaker 1: it's like i want off this ride it's just just it's just god that i i've never liked that vehicle yeah it's not terribly terribly terrible it's not terrible yeah but it's not good yeah it's like [00:27:56] Speaker 2: if this looks like like cobra would go sit in this thing to get their hair did not even it's [00:28:05] Speaker 1: i don't know so you remember when what is it what was the first joe movie the new one the new live action was it right rising cobra and they had those little drill things oh yeah the pods i thought [00:28:17] Speaker 3: those were pods right so stupid for a toy yeah it was like the they took the thing from ninja turtles [00:28:24] Speaker 1: so stupid this is like so this is this is way better than that i don't know yeah it's like a weaponized [00:28:31] Speaker 2: tire so it's got lasers on one side missiles on the other there's a cannon on there's a double [00:28:37] Speaker 1: barreled cannon on the one side and then there's stupid missiles that don't don't want to stay in [00:28:43] Speaker 2: good i mean they'll hold but when you're so it's it's this heavy thing that is drug along by its [00:28:50] Speaker 3: chainsaw like blades yes all right i just wanted to understand it's like maybe the dude was like you know had a day off and he rolled down a hill in a tire but i don't i was like you know what we [00:29:01] Speaker 1: can make a cobra one better so i i told you i did i i had the big uh those big wire wheels and a construction site and we pried i told you this yeah because it's like one yeah i pried out and got in it yeah and then my friend just spun me that's what this thing is that we it was like the diameter of this table yeah and it held wire and all right yeah yeah and then the big spools and then the center of it we pried up some boards out so you could get in it yeah and we were in the center and we just would [00:29:35] Speaker 2: it was like roller coaster and hamster wheel and then you threw up oh and then we would stand on it [00:29:40] Speaker 1: and walk yeah it was terrible because i got hurt yeah and there was nobody around so that we've decided [00:29:47] Speaker 2: this is lame i i'm fully behind that well i have a feeling we're not getting shown the good stuff [00:29:55] Speaker 1: on purpose well we're not gonna be oh no right right so all right next [00:30:03] Speaker 2: terrible god it's a barracuda the fisher price barracuda you know what let's throw some baking [00:30:09] Speaker 3: soda in and watch it fart its way up to the surface does that is it actually do that yeah this thing that's cool javis want it no i'm just i'm pretty sure it was this one right [00:30:23] Speaker 1: that i don't know because i hadn't i haven't paid that much attention to know that it would do that or not [00:30:31] Speaker 3: i think it would say it i swear there's one of them that does it [00:30:38] Speaker 1: isn't there a different version color of this [00:30:41] Speaker 3: or there's something they probably redid it for some valor venom or one of those lines [00:30:46] Speaker 1: three long range torpedo spring action torpedo launch movable stabilizer fins i swear there's one of those now that was the gimmick in the captain cruncher or whatever you put something in that little submarine and you put under water right yeah right and then or did it sink or did it float or what what did it do but it made the bubble yeah [00:31:10] Speaker 3: yeah no this yeah i mean if that yeah so it does it so gi joe vehicle that uses a fizzy powder powering driving mechanism is the 92 joe barracuda and its later variants so they don't even tell you that on this packaging yeah uses a chemical reaction from a specialty tablet or baking soda to automatically dive and rise to the surface alka seltzer tablet oh [00:31:37] Speaker 1: that's interesting that it does see they didn't want to told you they didn't want any problems so they didn't even put it on there you find out later [00:31:47] Speaker 2: like like somehow this would get kids like taking alka seltzer [00:31:52] Speaker 1: and then that would cause some kind of now if they did like a submarine that was let's say the size of a moray like us oh yeah yes when you had some compartments and you lift like a hatch and the guy could stick out like a periscope and you had like a little bridge here that'd been cool this is like this tiny yeah this is like a one-man it's a little bigger than a ferret or so it's like just it's just it's underwhelming it's about the size of the civil war submarine that was [00:32:21] Speaker 3: made out of wood yeah it's like the thing that blew up when they were down at the titanic [00:32:26] Speaker 2: oh the ocean name yeah ocean gate is that what it was called or i think so yeah oh man it's like [00:32:33] Speaker 1: i don't worry about all these cracks yeah i did this all the time it's fine it's running on bacon [00:32:37] Speaker 3: soda it'll be fine it'll rise soon yeah it worked for the barracuda so yeah work for me [00:32:44] Speaker 1: barracuda yeah not not good yep so all right all right what else do we got oh bow attack cannon [00:32:52] Speaker 2: this is a good vehicle i love this vehicle this is the cobra bug bug it's strange like i mean i i like it too but like it's the way it's designed it's it's it's weird yeah no it's definitely weird i think [00:33:08] Speaker 3: i have more of a uh heartfelt attachment to this one because it's like one of the last things i got from my one of my grandma's for christmas yeah so no this is i i think this is a super cool vehicle [00:33:19] Speaker 2: so it's is it is it uh amphibious yeah right or is it just part of it amphibious i think it's the [00:33:26] Speaker 1: whole thing okay well it's got wheels so it's driving right but then i think it can drive right into the water but i don't show in that in the water but i also don't know if somebody can maybe explain this i don't know if the sleds and the jet ski type things leave and the the front things the front two man thing with the rudders right go underwater but does the [00:33:52] Speaker 3: other thing in my mind the whole thing could go underwater when i was a kid [00:33:58] Speaker 2: so this is more like this is like cobra going to the beach [00:34:03] Speaker 1: yeah right and then they look right because then the guy's got the laying down sleds the other guy's got right the other sled like he's on a jet ski first off why do you put an astro viper on a jet ski right they need because they got to have fun too well what's what's what's road pig right right makes [00:34:22] Speaker 2: zero sense well big boa if road pigs sitting there is anybody going to challenge him to get out of the way they probably don't want to be in there smelling them this is for going to the beach and having some fun these were the strongest guys big boa he's going to knock you out and take your spot these are all the tough guys going out for the weekend right but an astro viper on a skidoo it's cool you know he's probably had shows no mercy that's how he got it no mercy these are all the worst of the worst from cobra and they they want to unwind for that saturday i mean i guess cobra technically is the worst right [00:35:01] Speaker 1: because they're evil yeah i wonder what uh i guess it does the front maybe look like a bug like i'm [00:35:07] Speaker 3: trying to figure out the yeah like a beetle maybe or the i don't like a bunch of you know eyes or [00:35:14] Speaker 1: you wonder what the significance is some of those numbers like if they meant something like 6997 you [00:35:19] Speaker 2: know like some dude's phone number yeah it's it's let's call it 2g so it's the bug [00:35:27] Speaker 1: right but normally they tell you what each letter means right right it'd be like so that's why you'd have two g's because it had to spell the thing they wanted it to spell but i don't i don't you know i don't know might be on the blueprints i don't know maybe beach utility go-go i don't know beach utility ground game yeah that's why big club [00:35:54] Speaker 3: or no big power you get big blob big big blob i should have python patrolled it all right let's [00:36:01] Speaker 1: go uh it's the next to the next [00:36:06] Speaker 9: it's a duke we're getting pounded send in the armor bot it's the joe's new secret weapon the armor bot it's got a mind and a voice of its own cobra strange new weapons are no match for the armor bots crushing gripper slicing river and fearsome robo gatling guns armor bot comes with hot fit your [00:36:25] Speaker 4: other figure sold separately batteries included i got a bad feeling about this the alien attack has begun [00:36:33] Speaker 3: dude i i am not a fan of this i always like robots but it is a little silly star brigade armor bot [00:36:42] Speaker 1: this this i could have totally seen that it had some art like electronic feature you know what i'm saying like maybe it had a cord yeah and then it just like it yeah it's gonna roll it just went to [00:36:55] Speaker 2: you yeah cool if it like cleaned your room and they cut the budget they're like ah i guess it'll just [00:36:59] Speaker 1: stand there so i yeah i thought this was terrible and then it kind of grew on me and there's a variant [00:37:05] Speaker 2: where it's either the blue or the gold right yeah yeah yeah the the the blue and the gold parts reverse [00:37:11] Speaker 3: colors as a or you get the hawk that has the black blaster or pink blaster oh there you go terrific uh [00:37:17] Speaker 1: give them a yeah give them a pick because i picked up one of these sealed maybe a hundred bucks or something and i was like yeah knock it out because it the one arm i think it's the right is the right [00:37:30] Speaker 2: arm or the left arm the one that's always gone yeah yes it's always the right arm right the the missile [00:37:36] Speaker 1: the right missile launcher it's so it's all so because we can do one minus that arm like twice [00:37:42] Speaker 3: yeah i think three times now it gets like 74 rockets yeah but then the last time we had one up top it [00:37:48] Speaker 1: probably was there for a year oh yeah oh yeah easy yeah and then i think the guy who bought ones [00:37:54] Speaker 2: you sold it back no no i put it on railway and then he just never came back that's what happened he was [00:38:00] Speaker 1: like ashamed of his decision i think so he's like i can't believe i did that i can't show what am i [00:38:06] Speaker 2: thinking he's like did i get the ones with the gold book or with the blue what am i doing [00:38:13] Speaker 1: you bought a what you bought and you collect joe's oh man but i bought it i i mean all this star brigade stuff grew on me later and there's some big money figures yeah variants in this so so is he supposed [00:38:25] Speaker 2: to be on the moon is that what i'm understanding i don't know looks like a rock he's clearly in space yeah yeah he's on top of a planet so he's in his his dual color missiles space armor suit i don't know [00:38:40] Speaker 3: what and i'm pretty sure that figure has less articulation than a star wars figure you're right [00:38:46] Speaker 1: about that hey maybe this was like i don't know they're like oh and twice as wide i don't even know what the robot voice sounds like i don't know if i've ever i've never heard it says it realistic [00:38:56] Speaker 3: realistic robot voice oh realistic robot well that changes the conversation it sounds like a realistic [00:39:02] Speaker 6: robot this doesn't say realistic as opposed to fake robots doesn't say human voice hi guy i'm a robot it's a realistic robot i am a robot i have no missiles i am armor bot please tighten my joints lube lube me [00:39:22] Speaker 2: so maybe this i don't know i'm thinking maybe this was like you know like guys go home go home friday think of something to save this line and a dude's like i don't know dude he's like i'll just put on my [00:39:34] Speaker 3: favorite movie aliens yeah or you know are they robot jocks right they were this robot they released this on a friday and didn't get to come in monday that's how it happened it was over yeah paint that hose red [00:39:49] Speaker 2: and use it on liquidator oh geez human human eyes all right and we need that hose yeah i've been looking [00:39:56] Speaker 1: and all we got is a repro and i didn't want to buy a repro yeah that's lame all right what do we got something good all right ninja force ninja raider battle axe figures worth more than the whole entire thing sealed figures the only thing worth money and he's not red either he's an [00:40:17] Speaker 3: orange orange yeah so not accurate and repurpose of what is it uh yeah because this was done what's his [00:40:25] Speaker 2: name purple dice slice one of them right uh slice no no um the purple yeah yes slice yeah dice is the the red one red one or orange red yeah red or neon orange yeah this thing's been sitting in the case for three years so andy help me understand what is the giant spinning cyclone slash i would believe that [00:40:52] Speaker 3: would be the axe movement to potentially chop down other uh dojos so does he spin around to utilize it [00:41:02] Speaker 2: so it has real ninja action because it looks like he's supposed to drive forward and go like this the [00:41:07] Speaker 1: whole way so he can like oh yeah because that thing just yeah like once you go left and it'll well i can [00:41:14] Speaker 3: tell you by moving it around in the case multiple times it only goes in one way because if you turn it the whole thing turns that's it's one of the you know what i'm saying like if you turn it this way [00:41:25] Speaker 2: it's it it's on like a ratchet kind of deal what a piece of crap pretty much yeah the guy's money though yeah that's about it so then we should sell the guy with the vehicle at all times to get rid if we had the guy if i had the guy well i know i know but if we get the guy again well the guy who's [00:41:42] Speaker 1: doing one of every guy is going to get the guy might not i'm not doing all the vehicles kind of [00:41:46] Speaker 3: thing you gotta buy it the figure gets knocked we don't want it that vehicle you probably should have got dumped into uh street fighter or mortal combat still wouldn't made sense but makes more sense [00:41:58] Speaker 2: than this you can't just make give him like a go-kart or something like yeah why not i mean he's driving a axe go-kart i guess i don't know just see it says real ninja action with spring action cyclone slash so this thing is supposed to like but how how do they know it's real ninja action because [00:42:20] Speaker 1: they've they say who informed them they sampled all their known ninjas got it's like a baseline hey [00:42:29] Speaker 3: bill call up those ninjas and see if they have an axe car that's real ninja action i feel like they were [00:42:36] Speaker 2: contracting out their vehicles to like man-at-arms because he's the one that designs all those the dumb vehicles in moto and it's the same deal it's just like oh it doesn't need circle wheels it needs triangle wheels and you know it'll it'll back it'll bash its way around you know the attorney a wood [00:42:53] Speaker 1: chopper yeah see i i think it would be cool if they did like what is it utility type not all battle [00:43:04] Speaker 3: stuff but like what's the regular stuff like a fire truck yeah like emt wouldn't it be cool to see [00:43:09] Speaker 1: like cobra fire department fire or like the food truck when all the cobra food truck right yeah that would be good yeah the side opens up and there's all the food cobra glizzy and you got the guys the food guy that would be cool guys put your blasters away like what is it the police department for cobra right [00:43:31] Speaker 3: who are they so they is their own police department going to stop them from committing crimes okay guy [00:43:39] Speaker 2: well you're using this battle axe all wrong you're getting a ticket because that would be cool use that to slice pizza wait you're just driving forward with it no you gotta chop well it's like [00:43:49] Speaker 1: you're doing like these dioramas and you just don't put the really cool tanks are in all the shot there's the supply trucks and there's just the boring stuff right there's more of that than there [00:43:58] Speaker 3: is of the all that stuff got blown up in the backgrounds of gi joe cartoons right [00:44:03] Speaker 1: the cobra milk man it's like there's a cobra barber [00:44:11] Speaker 2: right no it has to exist but also like it's like in i mean i'm just thinking of what's that raptor right there's a grocery store right right get your cobra crispies cobra canteen [00:44:24] Speaker 1: there's like a hallmark cards that care i mean all these but you know you don't get all that [00:44:33] Speaker 2: there's like that you know like that really does everybody have to get cobra command there's the [00:44:38] Speaker 1: guys driving the trucks hauling the fuel and the weapons and there's a big gnarly truck driver cobra [00:44:44] Speaker 2: pharmacy yeah there's somebody giving them the drugs see you get like a like a north like our size one-to-one scale birthday card right and you get all the little signatures [00:44:59] Speaker 6: and give it the cover commander on his birthday right he would love that ah everyone's signed yeah [00:45:07] Speaker 1: cobra bakery for his cake right screw mind bender though because he made serpentor tad melodramatic i want to kick that guy eyes they'll betray me hogwash i think there's more to come but our time is out cool yeah is that even good verbiage um i don't care at this point there's more to come but time is out so tired so there'll be another part to this one it feels like it's 10 o'clock now with [00:45:34] Speaker 2: the time change i need to eat so i can take my back pill i need to eat so i can live so that that's so [00:45:41] Speaker 1: hungry it's very food hungry all right i'll see we'll see you on the next one don't forget [00:45:48] Speaker 3: uh we don't sell parts we don't ship closed on sunday don't carry neato's don't carry uh what else pogs uh video games are the other end of the way we don't buy nascar yep we don't buy beanie babies [00:46:00] Speaker 2: we find for the one guy sometimes oh yeah but that's that's like collateral like it comes in with this collateral that's a good movie it is a good movie yeah yeah all right we'll see you guys [00:46:10] Speaker 3: cool bye see ya totally friendly mission finish baby
