I wish you would get stuff early! Because you are one of if not the best figure reviewer out there up close Hands not all in the way so on so forth! I just watched this review even though I already own my own five of them LOL!
I might be in the minority on this but I like the Windowless packaging, they replace it with Cool, Badass Art from front to back. Not to mention they also show you in cool art all the accessories, it looks so good! Makes you wanna keep the box afterwards instead of throwing it away, lol.
Yep I have the canopy issue too. Still, this thing is so fun - so much better than getting another motorcycle. They got it right doing a small, massable vehicle with a well-done army builder. Also, they finally seem to have landed on a common head ball size - the Cobra officer and viper were different from the crimson guard and each other; this one uses the same size as crimson guard, Tomax, Xamot, and Shipwreck.
This line is so much fun to collect and since I have been collecting this line I have almost completely forgotten about the black series and Gi Joe just brings me back to my late middle school and high school days when the cartoon was on television which I own the entire Sunbow series on dvd now.
I got two of these sets because I need two TBubbles for the Crimson Twins. The Televipers were an afterthought, but seeing them now I'm glad they were included. The extra heads are just icing on the cake.
I was able to order one of these before they sold out, but i dont have mine yet. I do have the Scrap Iron & Anti-Armor Drone set. Its still in the box. I want more smaller vehicles. Would love the VAMP and that Cobra turret thing with clear canopy (I forget the name). Looking forward to Hasbro Pulse Con to see and try to get my hands on that Baroness set with Tomax and Xamot.
I love the intro because when I first saw the name on the box in target, I kept thinking of sketches where different Cobra soldiers and higher-ranking members would keep going up to Scrap Iron and asking “All that R&D time for “Trouble Bubble?” And of course bonus points for the use of Brian Regan
Thank you for the tip with the canopy. Got 3 myself and all 3 had the same issue as yours. Maybe that's why there hasn't been a restock yet, to fix this QC issue?
I passed on this initially because I didn't know where I was going to put it. I still don't know, but if it comes back in I'm pretty sure I'm grabbing one.
Complaint number 1, I need my Hiss Haslab. My only annoyance with this thing That left side missile was born loose. Might be a defect in the mold(making the hole ever so slightly too big). No stands for all these items that hover in the air. Same with the Chariot. I was able to make adapters to go wit my stands but it's still annoying. I also thought Robo was breaking into a rap at the end.
You actually gave a review and talked about it and what you liked and didn’t…and gave a overall opinion….very good sir 🤘🏻 all the other “reviews” are let me show my stuff off …..and yeah that’s part of it but
I love the retro sci-fi look of this. Sure, the military stuff in Classified is the bread and butter, but this is what's gonna make me buy a figure. Feels perfect for some classic Nick Fury hijinks! Some of these guys on some durable stands like Obitsu stands or something and you can get a cool escape scene going. I might get two... my figures are gonna have to prepare for bubble, and make it double!
Right there with you, Robo. Only grabbed one. Thought about it, saw that they were still in stock, thought some more, then went to order another and they were sold out. Will need to grab one more when they come back. Gotta think they'll reup for PulseCon. I am also looking forward to grabbing at least one of the inevitable Python Patrol repaints.
While I liked G.I. Joe's growing up originally the line didn't give me much interest more then soldier fodder against my legends and DC figures. Now I'm all in, I collect all Joe's and most cobra figures!!!
I love this set so much. I had a blast unboxing it and being a kid again. However mine does have the exact same issues yours does with the one side of the canopy and the off-centered tampo. Disappointing but I still love it.
Good to know the canopy and loose missile on the left side if facing forward isnt just me. Also the aerial mine in the 80s figure was meant to peg into the seat and replace the driver so it was sort of like an unmanned kamikaze drone. It was also much larger in scale taking up almost the entire seat. The classified one is a lot smaller.
Good call with heating the laser cannon. I didn't do that and almost broke the ball peg off. "Almost" at least means I didn't destroy it! Definitely heat that up first.
3:37 Robo using a heatgun without gloves is giving me the anxiousness. Your a loose cannon with that heatgun Robo, and in this precinct we do things by the book
I had the foresight to buy four flight pods. Well maybe the fact I’ve cut way back on everything else gave me more wiggle room. I’m about 60% sure Hasbro does the recolor on this, probably crimson red. That will come with a stand. Honestly they have a perfect mold to borrow from in company. They are a Can of Beams style glider holder away from clipping onto the bottom of the Bubble on then plugging into that ball on Fortnite stand. The Trubble Bubbles were fun hand candy as a kid and just so much so as an adult.
I am so sooo excited to get these!! But I don't know who I want to put in there... probably those crimson versions of the twins that are coming out... we'll see. And Robo, you are exactly right! I never watched GI Joe and knew very little about it, but after getting Serpentor and a couple troopers I knew I had to dive in. I've been watching old episodes of the cartoon on UA-cam and collecting these awesome figures ferociously now!! 😅
I absolutely love them, Tele Vipers always had been weird to me but we had to have them. I wanted three of these but settled for two think maybe pick up a TV if someone sells it for cheap or do.something custom with the heads. 😊
Great review! Funny thing about availability. This didn't sell out when the pre-orders came up. IN fact, they were available for MONTHS. it only sold out in late August. It's possible that more might show up but I honestly don't know what Hasbro's policy is on reorders from their manufacturer.
So far mine and every review I have seen has the same canopy issue. My closes on the right side a tiny bit better but I have the squeeze the canopy to get it to. I'm not using my Tele-Vipers to fly it. I am using standard troopers for that. I have a great stand that has a clear flat top I got from Amazon that the Bubble can sit on and looks like it's flying. The stands come in 6" 8" and 12" heights. I got 2 to flank one of my HISS Tanks. Or to Flank Serpentor's Air Chariot.
Wanted to see if you could find out where that mine goes, I hate accessories that don't store on the vehicle. Btw I also had problems with my canopy closing on the same side but shaved the peg a bit instead of the hole and that seemed to work out fine too.
So what gum do you think he has in his many pouches? My money is on Dubble Bubble. And yeah, it really should have come with some sort of flight stand at $55. Then again when I finally set up a Joe display I plan on having the two I got suspended from a shelf, strafing some Joes.
I want this goofy thing for my Star Wars shelf. I don't how well it would really fit in but maybe with a custom paint job, I could totally see a Stormtrooper flying one of these.
@@TheFwoosh it seems we went the opposite ways, I’m collecting a lot more Gijoe lately and you’re collecting less😂 love your videos tho Robo, been watching you for years. Thanks for the content
I feel like that triangular ball joint stand we've seen with Marvel Legends and Black Series releases would work here if there were a hole. It wouldn't be very high but that ball joint would allow for some expressive poses. These figures are great but I've dropped off them this year. A major factor for that is they're harder to find for me, here in the UK aside from Pulse I've hardly ever seen any in person, and on Pulse they're constantly out of stock. Plus since I've been prioritizing more near and dear stuff, G.I. Joe doesn't fall into that category, so I'm okay skipping out on them in favour of my comic stuff, or Star Wars stuff, or Indiana Jones, or Universal Monsters, or Pred- you know what, there's a lot out there to collect.
Those loops on the mine make me think the mine was supposed to come with a string to be carried under the TB? 🧐 TV was one of my main Cobras back in the day, and I’m hoping the Target PP redeco comes with all three heads. #ThatsWhatSheSaid #IDontCareWhereYouComeAsLongAsYouLickItUp!
Never got a televiper as a kid because I hated the helmet, but as an adult I had to nab this looks much better 30+ years later to me.
I wish you would get stuff early! Because you are one of if not the best figure reviewer out there up close Hands not all in the way so on so forth! I just watched this review even though I already own my own five of them LOL!
“Well, ok. If you can fit a Trubble Bubble in your mouth…” (makes “call me” gesture). Literal coffee SPIT TAKE! LMAO
Haha, I was afraid people would take that as a surf's up gesture, for whatever reason.
I might be in the minority on this but I like the Windowless packaging, they replace it with Cool, Badass Art from front to back. Not to mention they also show you in cool art all the accessories, it looks so good! Makes you wanna keep the box afterwards instead of throwing it away, lol.
Y'know, I agree with that.
For the larger boxes that's true, but some of the the individual figs. look horrible.
@@dariusq8894 Well that's not the boxes fault, it's production, lol.
And it all ends up in the trash anyway, so.....

Same here
Now we just need a proper neck length standard. I swapped extra Craig and Hector heads, ShipRoll has a long neck, RockWreck has no neck. 🤦♂️
Yeah, get TWO! them sitting next to each other is cool!!
Came for the intro
Stayed for the review
3:32 💪🏻💪🏻
I am making a stand for this, just finished it up last night!
especially due to the lack of a stand post hole, these definitely get the fishing line to a screw hook in the ceiling treatment
"Nice and tight and stiff." That's a good end to a weekend night out for the Televiper.😁
Scrap Iron and Copperhead have so much personality. You should def get them if you haven’t already
I JUST snagged Copperhead on Walmart for $20, can't wait!
Brian Regan was a nice touch, but a lil' dash of Pork Soda too? 10/10
Heh, I gotta respect my influences!
I love Trouble Bubble: Bubble Gum
I have missed your GI Joe reviews. I know you have plenty to review. Looking forward to more GI Joe reviews.
I never had these as a kid. I couldn't wait until they entered the line so I ordered two. Endless fun and nostalgia!!!!
This line is so much fun to collect and since I have been collecting this line I have almost completely forgotten about the black series and Gi Joe just brings me back to my late middle school and high school days when the cartoon was on television which I own the entire Sunbow series on dvd now.

They can't all be unique, haha!
Thank you for the tip with the canopy. Got 3 myself and all 3 had the same issue as yours. Maybe that's why there hasn't been a restock yet, to fix this QC issue?
Hopefully, it's such an easy little tweak, maybe they are taking care of it at the factory.
I want to say the vintage version had the air mine shown on the packaging putting it in the seat like a drone.
I passed on this initially because I didn't know where I was going to put it. I still don't know, but if it comes back in I'm pretty sure I'm grabbing one.
Complaint number 1, I need my Hiss Haslab.

Me too. Very entertaining reviews as well
Robo since you have the Mezco Destro you should use that stand for the trubble bubble since it has the cobra logo on it
That is a GREAT idea, thanks! Now I need to open Destro....
I love the retro sci-fi look of this. Sure, the military stuff in Classified is the bread and butter, but this is what's gonna make me buy a figure. Feels perfect for some classic Nick Fury hijinks!

I saw a bunch of reviews for this figure, but Robo is the guy that seems to have more fun, always.
That's my main goal in life. Fun. Well, food and fun. And love. Love, food, and fun, in random order.
Right there with you, Robo. Only grabbed one. Thought about it, saw that they were still in stock, thought some more, then went to order another and they were sold out. Will need to grab one more when they come back. Gotta think they'll reup for PulseCon.

I can't wait for the target exclusive version
"Flavor packets" had me dying 🤣
Heh, I had WAY too much cheap Ramen Noodles as a kid. And adult.
I had the same issues with my clear dome, it didn't close flush
I hated the there was place for the mine to plug onto the Flight Pod.
Take a nail file to the clear tab on the bubble. hit the edges a bit and it will pop into the whole.
I love this set so much. I had a blast unboxing it and being a kid again. However mine does have the exact same issues yours does with the one side of the canopy and the off-centered tampo. Disappointing but I still love it.
Yeah, it should bug me more than it does but it doesn't really damper my excitement at all, I love it too much!
Same here
Good to know the canopy and loose missile on the left side if facing forward isnt just me.
Also the aerial mine in the 80s figure was meant to peg into the seat and replace the driver so it was sort of like an unmanned kamikaze drone. It was also much larger in scale taking up almost the entire seat. The classified one is a lot smaller.
Mine is arriving today. Already figured on needing a Mezco stand to get this mutha up in the air bare.
Good call with heating the laser cannon. I didn't do that and almost broke the ball peg off. "Almost" at least means I didn't destroy it! Definitely heat that up first.
Without foot rests, that 5 point harness is going to get very familiar with your crotchal region...
Yeah, we talked about that during the last FwooshCast. If you aren't strapped tight you're going to have yourself a state fair ride situation.
My favorite vehicle was always the F.A.N.G helicopter. I'm crossing my fingers that they release one next year.
Funny thing, I think I had the FANG as a kid and not the Trubble Bubble, but I remember the Trubble Bubble way more than the FANG.
A couple of these will display wonderfully with the Dragonfly next year.
That's my plan too!
The body is Recondo with a Vest.
I got 4. I have a nice air support for ground troops. Didn’t know they sold out
3:37 Robo using a heatgun without gloves is giving me the anxiousness. Your a loose cannon with that heatgun Robo, and in this precinct we do things by the book
But the handle doesn't get hot? Hehehe.
Great video, Robo! Glad to see another Classified review. I am biased because it's the only line a collect
Yeah, it's been a bit, good to jump back in the Joe pool!
That Primus reference tho 😏
"I got three kids dammit I should know how to do this" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I hope that the tele viper and destro being a running gag of helping naming the equipment

I had some recent financial issues and had to cancel my pre-order for this. Hopefully they come back in stock at some point
Thanks Robo! I’m loving the one I got. Mines waiting for the Cobra Commander thats coming eventually with my HISS tank.
DUDE!!! I miss your Joe reviews!! We need more! 😂😂 Go back to store & get those figures!!
I got 4 on the way. If they restock I’d have to stop myself from getting a few more. Just don’t need that many televipers.
Very cool, though shame about the lack of stand and the issues with the canopy.
Got my trubble bubble, love it but the lack of stand for it drives me nuts!!!😬😬😬
What is the small loop on the sky mine? Does it attach somewhere on the Bubble?
Hey @TheFwoosh,
On my Trouble Bubble the air mine plugs into the back of the front mounted big gun. Have you tried that?
So far mine and every review I have seen has the same canopy issue. My closes on the right side a tiny bit better but I have the squeeze the canopy to get it to. I'm not using my Tele-Vipers to fly it. I am using standard troopers for that. I have a great stand that has a clear flat top I got from Amazon that the Bubble can sit on and looks like it's flying.

that one is different mine has a yellow helmet with the yellow parts combination of trouble bubble plus that windshield of yours is clear thats nice .
Mine has the exact same issue with the wind sheild.
I got two and I only opened 1 so far cause I want more and keep 1 in box
Because of the purple, I feel like the Marvel Legends Paladin could be fudged in to some televiper unit.
Wanted to see if you could find out where that mine goes, I hate accessories that don't store on the vehicle.
Btw I also had problems with my canopy closing on the same side but shaved the peg a bit instead of the hole and that seemed to work out fine too.
You mean the "Whammy Kablammy?"
@@steverino6954 yeah didn't know the technical term 🙂😉
Classified series now taking the spotlight from the Legend series!
So what gum do you think he has in his many pouches? My money is on Dubble Bubble.
And yeah, it really should have come with some sort of flight stand at $55. Then again when I finally set up a Joe display I plan on having the two I got suspended from a shelf, strafing some Joes.
would like to know how to get the black and grey cobra officer you put next to the tele viper and BAT trooper.
It's a custom.
maybe the peg on the side of backpack can put the blast gun
I'm sad I missed this want to get two and repurpose one as a batman vehicle
Oooo, a bat logo on the front would look spiffy!
Yes sir!
My canopy is exactly the same I’m just gonna snip the part that doesn’t click in
I seen someone plug the top of the mine into the butt end of the big gun.
I knew it would be bad ass. I did pick up three but I checked out mine. I have that same issue with the canopy and that one missile keeps falling out.
Very cool looking 👍👍👍👍
I want this goofy thing for my Star Wars shelf. I don't how well it would really fit in but maybe with a custom paint job, I could totally see a Stormtrooper flying one of these.
got one waiting for dwlivery .... i will pair this with Firefly.. COBRaaaaaaAAAaaa!!!
Rob Liefeld design Tele Viper
Youngblood Dutch
for the right tab, i went into the hole with a knife and shaved off the plastic, and was able to get it in all the way.
probably should have watched the video all the way through.
Hehehe, yeah, I swung back around to the fixes.
@@TheFwoosh "oh i can be helpful, i'll post a comment...." "ok well i tried"

Anyways. Happy
To have it.

I want the Arms, and hips down for a custom Mandalorian, would need to see what the chest looks like under that vest. That Backpack might work...
This is yet another review where the HUD was put on crooked. Just got mine in the mail and won't be too thrilled if they are all wonky.
