Barbecue – G.I. Joe Classified Unboxing & Review
in this episode we throw another shrimp on
the barbie so what in this episode we look
at a character that has a license to grill
what am i doing he’s a fireman not a chef
anyway in this episode we’ll be
looking at barbecue so stick around
hello fellow dorks and dorkets and welcome to it
came from my side of the laundry room my name is
rob and in this episode we will be unboxing
playing with and reviewing barbecue from gi
joe classified line now of course this is a target
exclusive from the cobra island subset if you will
and to be specific he is named gabriel barbecue
kelly that’s his real name gabriel kelly and it’s
been that way since his very first file card
so that’s awesome but i just find it weird
that hasbro with their joes and transformers
they’ve had to do odd things with pretty
typical names and i don’t mean typical
names but very i mean just normal words
did someone copyright the word barbecue i mean
that would be really weird it’s just a word not
a special word at that but anyway yeah just always
found that odd but i got this dude for christmas
and super excited to take a look at them always
a very unique style for a joe i mean he has more
akin to cobra with his awesome helmet and very
colorful outfit if you will and yeah he just
really stood apart from a lot of the other joes
at the time he kind of went hand in hand with
blowtorch with the color schemes of the oranges
and all so it kind of fits you got blowtorch
making the flames and barbecue putting them out
so yeah really excited about that and like
i said santa brought this for me and while
we’re talking about christmas gifts
let me also show you this awesome shirt
look at this a megaforce shirt has all the cool
vehicles has ace hunter says the slogan deeds not
words and speaking of awesome deeds this was
sent in by homeboy gaz the dude i mean he has
generosity just beaming off of him i’m sure i mean
he’s graced me and us in the laundry room with
some awesome gifts this past year and yeah i mean
he just sent these over as a christmas gift so
i can’t thank him enough for sending me this
awesome shirt and there’s another one that you
know of course i’ll wear in a future episode and
we’ll talk about it then when i wear it anyway
without further ado let’s jump in and take a look
at barbecue okay folks here we go barbecue and i
am super excited to jump in and take a look at
this dude and let me before i get started let
me just say i’m using a new camera setup so i hope
it looks good hope it sounds good if it doesn’t i
apologize and we will go back to the old way but i
thought it’s a new year so let’s try something new
anyway here’s the part where we open it up
and it could get a little loud so i apologize
but we want the full experience of cracking
this dude open and enjoying it so here we go
let’s move the camera a little bit here
oh like i said i’m still trying to
learn this a little bit so i apologize
but i’m hoping this setup will be
better for smaller items when we
have to do close-ups and they won’t
be as blurry and things like that
so
oh before we get started what am i doing we always
take a look at the package art here and that is an
awesome picture like i was saying he almost
looks like a cobra agent i mean he looks so
tough and i mean almost robotic to a degree i love
this like blurry effect here like maybe it’s the
haze from the heat of the fire he’s putting out
and okay like last time remember i said i was
wearing gloves because my hands are nasty well i
forgot to wear the gloves so i’m sorry if my hands
offend anybody so don’t look at those look at the
toy anyway here is the side artwork let me pull
this camera back a little bit and again we got
this awesome picture of him got the axe there oh
the axe is actually wrapped around from this photo
or painting sorry it’s not a photo of course you
have the back which is the cobra island art which
is awesome and we have his specialties here so
it does look a little bit
blurry i apologize there we go
so i’m not sure what these represent
as usual i need to look it up
this almost looks like a katana so
maybe hand to hand first aid chemistry
protection it’s a shield we’ll go with that
sounds good to me so let’s throw that to the side
and take a look at him so let’s take
a look at his gear first we have his
fire suppressant pistol which i mean that looks
just like an awesome pistol with a silencer so
anyone could actually use that that’s pretty cool
actually has a hole here i don’t know if you can
tell so that’s kind of cool extra detail
to it so we will put that to the side
we have his awesome fire extinguisher backpack
and this is a cool added feature actually
has some stickers on it kind of like a
real fire extinguisher so that’s really
cool put that over here we have a big axe
very cool for chopping down doors and cobra
and let me just say one of my earliest memories of
barbecue was actually from the gi joe comic book
came with a hose i think maybe he’s
the first one that comes with a hose
just like the old days very cool it’s ribbed
so it’s not just a normal plastic hose
there’s a little bit of detail here on the
ends very cool but anyway his gi joe comic
book appearance where he was going after
a hiss tank and used this to smash in the
cockpit to get to the dude on the inside now
they never showed what he did to the dude on
the inside but i think it was implied since
it was a do or die situation that this just
just kept going to town on the poor cobra dude
inside so let’s put that to the side as well
and take a look at gabriel himself wow
so much detail here on this
oxygen tank in different
pouches here
that’s an interesting symbol
kind of like a gear i wonder what that
unless that’s like a gauge maybe that’s
like his oxygen gauge hmm interesting
got like a pouch here
good mobility with the head always extra
bonus wow and as usual a little stiff
there with gi joe classified great
pose-ability great flexibility and very
chunky and responsive i love that about them
the only thing i’m not a fan of is the
hips how they pop out of place sometimes
but that’s great for posing so he looks kind
of off kilter at the moment because of that
so let’s bring the camera down to his level
sorry again still trying to get used to this
get it in focus here very cool i like this little
green gauge here as well that’s kind of neat
okay cleared it up a little bit
very cool
so okay again playing with the camera sorry about
that i will learn the ropes if it works and it’ll
be better anyway here we go do the standing
test here oh he is very top-heavy with all this
extra accoutrement and a heavy helmet but
i mean this chunkiness looks great on him
i saw an awesome custom someone made a
custom head for him and handed one and
he was like holding the helmet so that
was a neat little custom that they did
he’s going to look very striking with the rest
of the joes up on the shelf because he looks
so different he’s bright and vibrant and yeah
he’s just going to stand out and that’s going
to be awesome so let’s give him some of his
gear get that all set up so first his backpack
and it’s great that he doesn’t have any extra
bandoliers and stuff it’s always such a pain
to get it all lined up for the
backpacks so just like the good old days
put the hose here and i’m assuming
the other end of the hose goes here
and what an awesome episode he was
in the viper is coming great episode
and it goes in there now the hose seems
a little too much when you’re doing this
might look better with him holding it
so let’s oh goes in snug that’s always good
backpack wants to come out come on here we go
this stupid hip
so let’s put the
extinguisher blaster in his hand
okay come on now oh that’s not good i already
has some like stress whitening here trying to
get it in his hand i don’t like that very much so
let’s try to open his hand up a little bit more
and just slide it in because the
pommel of this as you can see has some
girth to it which is causing it to
be a pain to slide it in from the top
so there we go
and that hose man
here let’s see if we can
do something with the hose
fish it around this way
maybe try to take some of the
yeah that’s much better i like that
so looks pretty cool kind of bummed
about the stress marks on it already
but we’ll just leave it in that hand
and we won’t have any problems hopefully
so now to his axes now his big axe goes back here
before we put it away let’s see
what it looks like in his hands
and this would be an awesome axe for like snake
eyes i mean to chop down some fools or anyone
really it’d be cool if i ever get a hold of
spirit give him this axe that would be cool
because i always liked that the sigma 6
spirit came with like an axe like a tomahawk
i always have so much trouble with
these hands i apologize everybody
maybe i should do these unboxing and reviews like
the real guys and just edit all that flubbing out
but i want it to be realistic you know what
you will have to expect when you get them
so that looks pretty awesome
i like that
that looks pretty tough kicking the door
of a house on fire i’m here to save you
very nice let’s take what it looks
like with his smaller hatchet
let’s take this off
put it here but i think i might display him
with the blade out don’t want him to cut himself
looks very cool so now the small
hatchet which i always loved
i love the finger guards on it the spiked
guard
punch some fools with it
very nice but i think like i said i like the
bigger axe in his hands for display purposes
keep it on his side because it’s a very
good place to display it it’s right there
so i am going to
so
yeah we’ll go with this one anyway i am
very super happy with this i mean i don’t
think there’s ever been well there’s
one that i wish they did better but
i am a fan of every classified figure
that i have had the privilege of owning
yeah i think that looks pretty tough
let me move the axe down a little bit here yeah
there we go this is will be his display pose
very nice and you can see the ah the hole in the
barrel very well that was talking about earlier
so yeah there we go that is gi joe classified
barbecue cobra island target exclusive
yeah getting real tired of those exclusives but
anyway yeah super happy with it great figure great
look i mean it’s pretty much a great recreation
of the original so you can’t go wrong with that
anyway not much more to say even though i’ve
talked an awful lot so anyway back to me back
to me yes again hasbro has knocked it out of
the park with a great and faithful reproduction
of an original gi joe figure from the 80s
and dude i love that character then and i
love this character now they did a great
job i mean they kept the essence of the
original character and just built upon it i mean
they’ve done a great job with that with a lot of
the classified figures there is a couple of them
that they did some wonky things with but i think
now they’re hitting their stride and yeah i mean i
think there’s nowhere to go but up with this line
and with some of the newer ones that are
being released i am super excited to get my
hands on them because again they are great
reproductions of original figures and what
more do you want just a scaled-up version of the
joes that we played with as kids and collect now
so anyway again thanks to gaz for this awesome
