@@petebutler5139 sharp eye! A lot of people use those as Race Bannon heads 👌🏻

Oh yea almost the correct scale

i think so as well!

Thank you, Sir! 🫡 glad I went back and got it

@@GIDOJO me too 💚

yes sir that bane is awesome!👍🤘

Thanks for the comment, Sir! 🫡

I’ll be having another 40th action man coming soon 🤫😉

It’s a cliché answer, but even if it is hours away, IKEA is a one stop shop for cheaper than Walmart, affordable shelving and display cases. to display the figures on the wall I use IKEA picture frame shelves and the glass cabinets are called the IKEA Detolf. I need to do an updated tour of the room. In my three main cabinets, I have the Beavis and Butthead collection right now, but I rotate it out with G.I. Joe every so often.

Thank you, Eddie!

Original gangster 😅… I did have like three classic collection items when they were out… I was like 13 to 14 years old though so I wasn’t buying a lot of toys, but I was still buying a few.

@@GIDOJO lol💚👍

My friend has a ton of hot toys and they are cool, but I prefer $9.99 “Cold” toys 😂

@@GIDOJO LOL yeah i dont got the money for hot toy's there awesome tho!

Oh yeah, it’s cliché, but Batman is my favorite superhero

@@GIDOJO you and me both!👍

Thanks for the info andy!

Yeah, I’ve seen some pretty cool DC universe figures from this company. I have the 1:6 scale Batmobile and bat plane. I need to pick up the armor figure eventually

Yes I was lucky enough to find it on eBay. There has only been a few listed over the years since it was released.

@@echtomorph yeah the store is so good. I haven’t been back in about a year. I need to get down there!

To be honest, I’m not up-to-date on what’s happening as of the last month of this saga. I would look for Facebook groups discussing this incident and see what people are doing to get their money back. Not promoting violence or anything, but if it were me, I would go to us and knock on the door every single day until I got my money lol. On a serious note though I feel extremely bad for you. I have been a part of many really positive kick starters and have been lucky to never get scammed, but it happens to everyone eventually I guess.

Oh man, I never actually came across this one. I was already at toy collector at that point(really I never stopped. There was like a six month gap between kid and teenage toy collector with a drivers license and a job.), but I never came across this in person or else I would’ve jumped on it instantly. Oh well, we have our whole lives to collect this stuff. I would definitely recommend grabbing this one or the 1987 original

Jealous that you got to grow up with these amazing toys!! 😍 (I wasn’t born until 1984 but I’ve been obsessed with 12 inch G.I. Joe since 1992)

Thank you, sir! 🫡

Thank you!! 🙏

@@GIDOJO 💚

Oh is this from your KZbin channel? If so I LOVE your work!! 💪🏻

@@GIDOJO I did Lego animations, thank you very much man.

I would assume his assembly is much like this quicksilver. If you can use plastic tools to pry on him, it should pop apart without damage. Unfortunately, there are almost no tutorials, so that’s why I made this video.

@@GIDOJO I saw your video and this figure is quite different. It even has a quite complicated mechanism from what I see.

I ended up using a molotow liquid chrome pen and it still looks good over a year later 👌🏻

He has no current video up on his channel, that he could point to as the original 🤷 Anyway even though there has been “beef” between Michael Mercy and some retroblasting allies, I didn’t post this to harm Mercy in anyway. It’s just up to illustrate that retroblasting wasn’t the only person “promoting”(not really promoting just basically mentioning the existence of) this failed kickstarter.

@@GIDOJO yeah that’s what I figured. (Regarding no video to point to) Yeah I totally get it. 👍🏼

Thank you, brother!

Yea I was lucky to find one 45 minutes away and the guy cut me a deal because it was dirty and needed a little work. If you ever want one they are smaller than the internet says but still huge obviously. It was just small enough to fit in the spot I had for it

No, Sir.. only reproductions of the vintage 3.75” “a Real American Hero” line that ran from 1982-1994. At this point 4” G.I. Joe is a dead line, but it’s only been off the shelf for 2 years so it could make a comeback 🤔

@@GIDOJO I was a Collector's Club member for a number of years and also had the 25th line. I regret I sold that when I moved residences and have been slowly buying it back. I guess there's plenty for me to collect with Classified, Reaction, 4" and 3.75". I had a few Threezero 12" when it came out.

@@SpineTicks oh yeah, I love the 25th line when it came out. I was on board 100% but sold them a few years later. That was definitely a High Point for G.I. Joe though. The retaliation movie line was good also. I was in the club for about three years but I got 12 inch figures each time. Definitely a ton to collect. Now is probably the perfect time to buy back all of your 25th stuff that is going for very cheap. The “FSS” will probably always be expensive though

@@GIDOJO I have a decent size JOE "Mail Call" for my livestream tomorrow if you drop by. Would be very interested to read your comments about my recent pickups. I have some JOE collectors in the Live Chat and the Panel from time to time so I'm excited for toy conversations with knowledgeable guys like yourself!

@@SpineTicks oh yea I’ll be there 👌🏻

Yea super7 gets a lot of hate in general, but in this case I feel it’s unwarranted. I like these Gijoe reaction figures quite a bit and I love that they pair well with gijoes British cousin, “Palitoy Action Force”. These are pretty cheap now also. Several good lots of them on eBay 👌🏻

@@GIDOJO I told myself I was only gonna collect 25th Anniv and Collector's Club for modern 4 inch but then I started re-watching the cartoon. And I'm still collecting Classified. Oy, there's no room for all this but I can't stop.

@SpineTicks haha yea I collect a little bit of everything from G.I. Joe even going back to 1964… space is an issue for sure :P These are a hard sell at 19.99, but now they are selling for as low as $5 I’m on board for sure 😋

@@GIDOJO keep on rocking! I do comics, cards and toys. I have a community of Collectors on my Saturday night livestream, very interactive. You might find new friends/subscribers in the Live Chat and I'd certainly recommend your channel. My buddy and I even play a GI JOE themed Role Playing Game like Dungeons & Dragons. YO JOE!

@@SpineTicks​​⁠thank you! I’ll check it out for sure 🤩

All the channels I featured on here are still active and really good. Some of them have hundreds of videos. I would recommend starting with retroblasting. Also “it’s chad” is a fun gijoe channel, valaverse is a cool behind the scenes channel that primarily talks about their own toy line “action force”. Toy Polloi has like 1000 videos and you can learn sooooo much…. Super entertaining I

@@GIDOJO wow, alright. Quite a list to delve into. Thanks!

Thank you, sir! Once I get a tactical vest for him, it’ll be amazing looking

Hey, we live and we learn… I think Michael just needs to shift gears and not give these makers a platform anymore. At least not his platform. he’s a big proponent of “the fans are doing the best work”, which is true but there’s too many Shiesty people out there unfortunately. In both scenarios, Michael French personally lost money just like everyone else. I learned not to back projects like this in 2010; an extremely reputable guy in the Atari community was developing an expansion module for the Atari 7800 game system…. I was insanely close to putting down $100. Well a year passed, then another, then five, then 10… then the guy actually died. every time I logged on the Atari forum I would check on the progress and every time I was happy I hadn’t backed the project.

The only "apology" I've seen from Mars was from 5/10. Is there a more recent one from that clown?

@@bradlanghorst6269 i’m not on Facebook and I assume all of the action is going on over there but maybe the person above can enlighten us

@@bradlanghorst6269 The Mars con-man deleted all his posts on his FB page the last time I checked. He just took the money and ran off, more or less. What a crook.

@@GIDOJO If only Michael apologized in the first place about promoting the fraudster then a lot people wouldn't blame him in the first place. Like the other poster has said, he was deleting comments of people who criticized the shady nature of the Airwolf project instead of trying to look at their perspective. He should have been humbled from the Bantha experience but he obviously never learned from it like the arrogant, self-righteous prick that he is. I've seen how this guy has acted from his tantrums of the HasLab Sail Barge, his tantrums from losing a debate to Spector Creative that he made a video of it on another site, getting angry at his wife in a stream just because his toy got malfunctioned, doxxing someone who angered him over the Sail Barge..... Trust me, your opinion of Michael will falter to the ground had you read some of his other online shenanigans.

mike is the man!!!👍

Definitely haven’t experienced anything like that over the years with skates, but I’ll report back if I see anything. I’m displaying it on a white figure stand so if the dye bleeds out I’ll be able to tell 👌🏻
