Hey Kieron, That is so nice of Andy to hook my up with a Recondo that otherwise would be impossible to find in my country. That Falcon is an odd face sculpt for sure (nightmare inducing) LOL. Thank you my friend!
@Barney Miller got 3, all had damaged cardbacks and 1 was missing wings. It also wasn't tied in place so it wiggled around the box and punctured it. You can't sell that thing unopened because you can't guarantee everything is in there or even mint if it is.
Hey 80's Kid4Ever, The Dragonfly would be massive in 6 inch, around 32 inches I would guess. The Falcon face is a botch but let's hope its behind them now. Thank you my friend!
Awesome video Mike. Massive Salute to your Grand Father. Some of my proudest days were when I wore my Slouch Hat. The Kiwi version is called a Lemon squeezer as it looks like a Lemon squeezer. Not quiet a Slouch Hat lol. Also mate keep a eye on your PO Box I will post you something on Monday. It maybe a Haslab Dragon Fly. Cheers Scotty B
Hey Scott, I'm always very proud of the military service personal. Awesome to know you are part of that too! Congrats my friend. The NZ hat being called a 'lemon squeezer' I have heard that reference before, thank you for the reminder. Scott your too good to me sending me items. Many Thanks. Thank you my friend and have a great day!
After the success of the Sky Striker Haslab, and the excitement around the Dragonfly, I have absolutely zero doubt that this won't be a future GI Joe has lab project. And honestly, if they do the same quality job that they did with the jet, this one will be another smash hit. So happy you were able to get that classic Joe in your collection! Andy is awesome & truly came through for you on this one.
@Barney Miller Bummer. I guess I should have worded it differently. Quality wasn't the best word to use here. It was more like "value" than quality. IE: I felt what was received was a good value for what was paid. Similar to the HISS Haslab. But for those having issues, it probably doesn't feel like much of a value. And Hasbro is notorious for not giving exceptional customer service, and definitely not getting you the missing parts or bits, which is a real shame and something you think would be easily fixable.
Hey Andy, Thank you you so much for Recondo. It makes me so happy to have him back in the collection after all these years. You made my day. Thank you my friend! (p.s agree Falcon looks weird LOL)
Guess for HasLab they could probably do a 2-seat Dragonfly, man that would be big and very cool to see! Surprised Classified line hasn’t done more of the single pilot vehicles, thinking Skyhawk would be a perfect retail vehicle for the line.
The Falcon face sculpt makes me think they were going for the look of an OG mid 60’s GI Joe face. A lot of the details on him seem to call back to that. From the attempt at the uniform blousing to the big square radio backpack. Look carefully at the strapping on him. It’s ww2/Korea style Web Gear.
Awesome brother! I'm glad to see that you got your Grandpa Joe!!! People appreciate you and what you do. Always great to hear your news and comments! I never watch the Hasbro streams anymore. I rather hear it from you! Keep up the great work! Aloha!!!
Hey Kaaawasaki productions, You have no Idea how happy this one figure of Recondo makes me! I'm so fortunate to be gifted it and it will be treasured for a long time! I'm always happy to watch the livestreams and give my take on it, which you guys enjoy! I do my best to add the comedy and the occasional hot take! LOL. Thank you so much for your kind words my friend!
Great stuff. Love the snippets from other channel's videos and giving them direct credit. Excellent format, especially for toy news, where most others either take credit themselves or fail to mention sources and examples. Really gives a true toy community vibe. Hope to see more like this in the future. Cheers!
Hey BikoX, Much appreciated! All of my videos are much the same in the process of crediting the members of the community with their videos. I have a great community of toy collectors who can contribute to the videos! Thank you my friend!
Hey Troys, That Grogu head was a cookie jar a and the body was smashed, but I saved it from the skip! Buffalo Bill would be proud LOL. The chopper would be amazing to see in 6 inch scale! Thank you my friend!
I've come across dozens of instances of thieves repacking everything from cheap joes, knock off dollar store no articulation army men, and even cheapo marvel figs in the boxed packaging. Now I HAVE to, I am REQUIRED to open every closed box I buy to be sure actual product is inside. I'd like to see a classified PAC/RAT 3 pack. Also a 2 pack of Cobra Snakes that are just robots, one white and one in PyPa colors with various weapon attachments and battle damage parts, maybe even a chipboard and have them make battle sounds.
Thanks as always for all the info and another amazing video!!! I haven't had time to watch in awhile because of work but I definitely plan to catch up a d like and comment on EVERYTHING I've missed sir!! Thanks again and have a blessed day sir!!!
Why is recondo standing next to the dragonfly in the thumbnail? I think you meant to put Wild Bill there instead 🤨. That's Airborne in the passenger seat...😏🙄.
Great update Mike thanks. Yikes Classified seemed to be on a bit of a roll until Falcon came along. Not my favourite Joe but I’d be pretty gutted if he was 😨
Hey TreasuresforTrigger, That Falcon is a rough one hopefully they produce a later version with a nicer face update! Glad you enjoyed the video, Thank you my friend!
Hello Mike I was completely in the dark about the Dragonfly Haslab project. The Cobra 🐍 HISS Tank they are working on looks amazing, can't wait for the reviews on that when it comes out. The Recondo figure looks great. I never had the original I picked up a later version I think. Thanks for another great video post. Take care my friend, Tom from the US
Hey Tom, I love that vintage Recondo. Not easy to find in my country, I though some people like yourself would not be aware of the Dragonfly, so I'm glad I made a video on it! If anything more happens I'll be sure to fill you in with the info. Take care my friend and appreciate the kind words. Thank you my friend!
