Well, this was a bit disappointing and actually worrisome. Not because HCC788 is retiring and we won’t be receiving more of his great content (nothing lasts forever); however he seems so unhappy. This goodbye message didn’t seem like a retirement statement from a person who is happy of what they’ve accomplished and is looking forward to rest and a new chapter in life. This seems like he was almost forced to hang it up- as if his mental health is getting the best (worst) of him at this moment. Notice how he says others could do it better, but he did the best he could. Even when he speaks of the accomplishments of this channel and what it’s done for him personally- he never smiles. My heart really goes out to you Hoody. I hope in channel retirement you can afford more time towards your mental health and all things that bring you joy and fulfillment like you’ve provided to so many of us who tune into your content. You definitely deserve it!
I am not his personal friend but as someone who has followed his channel for a long time he has been through a lot over the years. I think he knows there are a lot of us that are keeping him our prayers/thoughts/well wishes. Its hard when you just can't do a project anymore. The day to day cycle of planning, writing (OMG keeping writing fresh is hard), filming, and video editing gets to you. Once the passion starts to bleed out of you it is hard. I wish HCC788 the best and there is always the chance that after a few years off, some rest, he will be walking through a store or something and see a GI Joe and the passion will come flooding back... or maybe some other project. Like so many of your fans HoodieCoCo my channel and I are here if you ever change your mind or have projects I can help with.
@@DreamMadeProductions Yeah, I'm worried about him too, he's aged quite a bit in a few years time and you can see the energy isn't there like it use to be.
@@cinemaarts8795 Hoping he keeps in mind he has friends he has never even met. I was looking forward to a collab with him (im a gaming channel and i have all the ventage GI Joe board games). Hoping time off helps. Maybe he will come back or maybe he will make other content at some point. Either way well wishes.
Yea I’m worried too honestly, I’ve followed this channel for almost a decade and he seems unhappy. As someone who has struggled with depression losing interest like this is a common sign of it. I hope I’m just looking too deep into it lol and all is well for him.
HCC has created an incredible body of work, I think it will still be viewed and referenced decades from now, long after most other UA-cam content, from bigger channels, has faded into the ether.
This feels rough to say as a grown man, but I was the downest and outest I've ever been when I first discovered your channel back around 2015-2016... They were an odd lifeline, a respite from a crapstorm, a weekly dose of cheerful nostalgia, something to look forward to... Shortly after when things got better for me, I was able to back you on patreon and have stayed with you ever since through ups and downs because I know how that is. So, thanks for dragging my butt through the muck and being a friendly voice of a shared interest. Be well and enjoy the private life. - Jay (you dubbed me "G.I.Jay" during the Starduster episode... I'll take it!)
It's like the last day of summer vacation when we were kids. You get one last chance to hang out with your mates and reminisce about the great times you had but you know you won't be seeing some of them the next day as we all go on our separate paths. It's been incredibly fun watching your videos and watching you HCC, you brought me a lot of joy and I'll always be grateful for giving me a chance to get to know you through your UA-cam channel and to relive some of my happiest childhood memories with my favorite toys. Truly, thank you and best wishes in everything you do. I hope I get to see you again on UA-cam in the future, and I hope you appear on comic tropes again. This channel and you have been a real gift, thank you.
Your videos serve as an encyclopedia of G.I.Joe, they are far more than mere listings. So much research and love went into them. There are tonnes of people out there that are yet to dive into them and rediscover their passion. Thankyou and good luck for pastures new.
Your content got me back into collecting. Got me through a ruff spot in my life. Gave me a hobby to keep my mind off of other things. Thanks for all the years HCC788. Go have fun and enjoy your UA-cam retirement.
At the peak of getting back into collecting vintage Joe's you were my favorite channel. There were a few others I liked watching, but you were at the top or right there with the best. Good luck to you in whatever you do in the future.
Bryan, as a subscriber, I have to admit, I care more about Bryan, the man than Hoodie Coco. You've always been honest and truthful in your approach to things and that honesty is priceless. We as human beings go through things in our time here and we can certainly chalk that all up to being a part of life, but I hope and pray you're doing well and that you're happy with where you are in your journey. You've become a household name, face and person in our lives and we appreciate the lift you gave SO many of us. There were times, I was down and feeling a certain way and I put on a video or 2 of yours and I was deeply encouraged. Thank you for your encouragement, enthusiasm, all the laughs, all the memories and, most of all, your friendship with each of us. You've done more for this community than you know and you are appreciated and will be prayed for and thought of often. Thank you HCC788, thank you Hoodie Coco, but most of all, thank you Bryan for all you've done for so many around the globe. Be encouraged, be at peace and may you find great joy in your next chapter in life. Peace, my Brother, to you and yours. You will absolutely be greatly missed. 🙏 👊
Thank you for the ten years, brother. Your hard work brought me back to this fandom. You take care of yourself, and don't feel bad about any of this. You've earned the retirement.
Man, I'm going to really miss your videos. The work you do is probably the best in vintage G.I.Joe alongside FormBX (who is sorely missed as well). Hope that whatever you do next brings you the spark you need. We will miss you.
I am gonna miss you SO much. Your videos have been both entertaining and educational. Your streams gave me something to look forward to, especially during the pandemic. Take care of yourself, and YO JOE!!
Thank you for all you have done. Your work has set a high bar for others. I know you say that this is the end and I neither doubt your sincerity nor wish to make you change your mind, but please know that you are welcome to come back at any time if you wish. Whether as a single video or a longer effort. But, sincerely, I wish nothing but the best for you and yours wherever the journey takes you. Again, thank you for all you have given us.
Vaya con dios my friend. I can call you that because, while it is impossible for you to know, you have been that to me. Over the past 10 years I've buried a mother, a sister, and a father-in-law; I've gotten divorce and found love again (I'm getting married again next month); and I've changed jobs. But you've been there. Going through life yourself; but you were positive, upbeat, and encouraging. Your joy for the Joes is infectious and a much need outlet for me. Our world is falling down arounds, but Hoody Co Co was there. Can't tell how many hours of joy and comradery you've given me. May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sunshine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand. Fair thee well my friend, fair thee well.
Thank you for your contributions to the collectors community. While I don’t collect GI JOE, finding your videos rekindled that joy as a kid playing with them. Your fair reviews, thorough coverage of each figure/vehicle was always enjoyable, funny, and informative. Wish you all the best in this new chapter of your life.
Now Formbx257 is gonna comeback out of nowhere 😅 love ya, Brian! Great Job building this channel. If your heart isn’t in it, it’s SO hard to fake it. Good luck in your future endeavors 😍
Certainly sad news that we all didn’t expect nor wanted to receive today. Nonetheless, we are respectful human being that understand that we’re all on different journeys in life. Thank you for of your great content & God Bless!
Thank you for everything. I was late to the party, but I enjoyed your channel since I discovered it. Your reviews were always very thorough, and I enjoyed the humor you brought to them. As someone who is reevaluating his own collecting habits, I totally get where you're coming from. I wish you the best of luck in whatever is next for you. You will be missed.
Thanks for the hard work over a decade! Wow, I enjoyed your reviews and they will remain a resource for collectors. I hope you clear up that space and that you'll be happy
You've always made some of my favorite Joe content. The balance you struck between creative flare and archival attention was second to none. Your voice and vision will be missed. Yo Joe, sir, Yo Joe.
The end of a Great Era 👍 Thank you for giving us 10 years of your life. 10 years of joy & happiness! Took me back to my childhood and that my friend is priceless!
Thank you for everything you've done. Your videos brought me back to a time where I didn't worry about a job or mortgage payments or how the world's gone to crap. Good luck in everything you do in the future.
It's sad that our passions change throughout our lives, but it proves that we’ve developed as people, which is healthy. I got back into GI Joe about nine years ago when I was upset about a personal issue and it helped to take my mind off things by giving me something else to think about. It was hugely enjoyable to watch your channel, rediscover childhood memories and embark on the hunt to buy back the toys I’d lost. Thanks for 10 years of exceptional, erudite videos. You've created an amazing legacy, which viewers will continue to enjoy and learn from.
Your videos meant so much to so many of us. You're not just the best GI Joe reviewer, you're the best reviewer on the internet. Thank you, be well, and find what makes you happy.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. As a 50 year old man who went through a divorce 9 years ago. This channel gave me something else to think about. The nostalgia you gave me and the passion in collecting that was reignited by your channel is well appreciated. I would have never been interested in collecting classified today if it wasnt for channels like yours and others. I cant thank you enough for your time and effort are greatly appreciated. 🙏🏾
Thank you for your amazing 10 years of content. I discovered your channel at the tail end of its run, but I've blasted through a lot of the content and the nostalgia it has brought me is unrivaled. I wish you the best of luck in whatever you do moving forward, and know that you will be missed.
Thank you good Sir for everything you have done over the last ten years. I have enjoyed your content more than I can possibly say. You have helped me through some dark times, and I just want to say thank you! You have helped to keep the memories of one of the best parts of my life alive and close enough to touch. Thank you so much!
And so another goes the way of Formbx257. Damn disappointing your content brought me a lot of joy and was something I looked forward to. Sounds like some divorce/relationship blues & resignation. I wish you well going forward, life sucks, people suck, but Joes... Joe's are forever.
Thank you for all your G.I.Joe history indepth information, time, energy and passion so comprehensive history and your love for G.I.Joe will remain on all G.I.Joe/Action Man/Action Force fandom worldwide!! Thank you for a decade ( A Great 10 year Anniversary Of Your G.I.Joe Fandom Channel)of joyful memories and pure childhood nostalgia!!! God Bless you always, whatever path you take,the sky the limit so,take care and always keep your G.I.Joe information and inner child alive!!!!sad to see stop channel but,😢❤HoodedCobraCommander788 over and out!!!
Yo Joe Hoodie! I've always appreciated your straight forward honesty about life. Thanks for the decade of work to our entertainment. You will be missed. Wishing you the best.
Never commented but always watched…thank you for all the knowledge and entertainment over the past 10 years! Best of luck in your future endeavors, You will be missed! YO JOE!
HCC it’s been a pleasure watching you, meeting you at conventions, and guest starring with you on ATKM. You have made your dent in the G.I. Joe universe!
Often when people go through a huge life or traumatic event, they change the things around them that they can that remind them of the things that they went through or lost and that is totally ok, especially when they are moving into another phase of their life. It is a totally ok and normal reaction. You can still love those things, but they don't always need to be right there at the front of the line. You made so much great content and should be very proud of your work and the entertainment you brought to the fans and know hat you are very appreciated.
I've enjoyed your videos for a long time now. Thank you for all the years of enjoyment and for getting me back into this great hobby. Best of luck to you. May you find peace.
I do wish you'd do one more review on v2 Rock n Roll, as that was the "goal" originally. That being said, it is your project, and sometimes you have to know when to walk away. Continued success in whatever you persue next, and hopefully we'll see you around in some form or another down the line! Thanks Hoodie, it's been a wild ride.
100% support you HCC. There is more to life than plastic. Family, love, friendships, experiences, fulfillment... I hope you can continue to collect those :)
Thanks for this channel....really appreciate for bringing back my memories of a happier time long ago. All the best on your retirement and new endeavours!
Thank you for all the time and hard work you put into this channel. You will be greatly missed but I appreciate the ten years you dedicated to one of, if not the best GI JOE channel on youtube. God Bless.
Just recently got into watching your videos this year. Mostly to watch the figures I had or never had but always wanted in the early 90s. Thank you for your videos. Wishing you all the best for your future projects.
This is not the update I had hoped for. Thank you for everything, Hoodie, and I'll see you this last time at Joefest. I'm grateful we got to have some fun before you left the hobby.
Hoodie, thank you for all your content! Although I will miss your channel I truly appreciate all you’ve done. In 2018 when I was looking for GI Joe content yours was the first channel I found. You connected me to so many other content creators. So with all my heart thank you. I wish you good luck in all your future endeavors and I hope to see you again at Joefest and in the future.
Your videos are me and me brothers GO TO for GI Joe. All I can say is this will all come back around for you. Please don’t sell your JOE’s, there will come a day when you will be super happy you have them. Thank you HCC, you will be missed by us.
Thank you for your service. I have so many Joes I wasn't familiar with in my collection because of your detailed reviews. I hope someone steps up and continues finishing the entire line on UA-cam. I hope you enjoy your life and new passions as much as you enjoyed GI Joe, and as much as we enjoyed you enjoying GI Joe. And remember, only GI Joe is GI Joe.
Darn, this is really unexpected. Even though I rarely AT ALL appear in some of your streams, your content is still the best when it comes to reviewing Gi Joe action figures. So farewell, Hoodie. I commend your work.
I want to thank you. Your channel is one of the first ones I found when I began collecting the vintage line. The information you have provided through the years has been extremely helpful. You have been a bit of a mentor, and I will always be appreciative of the influence you made in my GI Joe journey. I wish you the absolute best in life. You are truly loved by many of us, and you will always be thought of. Again, thank you.
I just found your channel and I think it's Great!! Thank you for the Joe videos. Best to you and your family in your retirement. And remember....GO JOE!!!
Thank you for the channel and for leaving it up as a historical record. I’m relatively new to the channel and there are still so many things to discover.
Endings are always sad, but they can be hopeful as well. New beginnings can come from even the saddest endings. Wherever you go next in life, God Bless, and Godspeed
Im 43, I just found your channel a couple months ago. I wish I'd been around from the start of your channel. I don't know how I missed your channel. Good luck in all your future endeavors. God bless you and your family brother. Yo Joe ✌️
I’m from the 1992 neon color Joe era. Your videos weren’t always kind to this era, but you know what? I loved every one of them! Thank you for a great 10 years!
Thank you for all the information you've given us all these years. Your videos have helped all of us build our knowledge and our collections, and will continue to do so as long as it is up. You also inspired many of us to create our own content, and we all truly appreciate that. I wish you well in all of your future endeavors, and hope you enjoy your retirement. You will be sincerely missed.......
I watched this video an hour after posted, and I waited to give feedback. I did not know of how many people were making GIJoe videos until I found HCC. I enjoyed these videos. I mourned during MIA time and for FormBX. Whatever your next adventure take you, HCC, make sure you do it with style, like you have with these videos. Thank you for your service, HCC. Yo, Joe!
I started following your channel all the way back to 2016. I enjoyed watching most of your videos, and most certainly I'll miss watching new content from this channel from now on. Wishing you well in your future endeavors and thank YOU for these 10 years.
I didn't want anyone "smarter". I didn't want anything "better". I just liked watching you as is. I will miss you. Will totally miss the fun live streams as well. Thank you for all you've done. I bid you well on your endeavors.
Well, this was a bit disappointing and actually worrisome. Not because HCC788 is retiring and we won’t be receiving more of his great content (nothing lasts forever); however he seems so unhappy.
This goodbye message didn’t seem like a retirement statement from a person who is happy of what they’ve accomplished and is looking forward to rest and a new chapter in life. This seems like he was almost forced to hang it up- as if his mental health is getting the best (worst) of him at this moment.
Notice how he says others could do it better, but he did the best he could. Even when he speaks of the accomplishments of this channel and what it’s done for him personally- he never smiles.
My heart really goes out to you Hoody. I hope in channel retirement you can afford more time towards your mental health and all things that bring you joy and fulfillment like you’ve provided to so many of us who tune into your content. You definitely deserve it!
I am not his personal friend but as someone who has followed his channel for a long time he has been through a lot over the years. I think he knows there are a lot of us that are keeping him our prayers/thoughts/well wishes.
Its hard when you just can't do a project anymore. The day to day cycle of planning, writing (OMG keeping writing fresh is hard), filming, and video editing gets to you. Once the passion starts to bleed out of you it is hard. I wish HCC788 the best and there is always the chance that after a few years off, some rest, he will be walking through a store or something and see a GI Joe and the passion will come flooding back... or maybe some other project. Like so many of your fans HoodieCoCo my channel and I are here if you ever change your mind or have projects I can help with.
@@DreamMadeProductions Yeah, I'm worried about him too, he's aged quite a bit in a few years time and you can see the energy isn't there like it use to be.
@@cinemaarts8795 Hoping he keeps in mind he has friends he has never even met. I was looking forward to a collab with him (im a gaming channel and i have all the ventage GI Joe board games).

Yea I’m worried too honestly, I’ve followed this channel for almost a decade and he seems unhappy. As someone who has struggled with depression losing interest like this is a common sign of it. I hope I’m just looking too deep into it lol and all is well for him.
@@BR78973 He will be fine, hes a grown man
This was my favorite GI Joe channel. Thank you for many years of great content and for teaching me so much about these toys. I wish you all the best.
HCC has created an incredible body of work, I think it will still be viewed and referenced decades from now, long after most other UA-cam content, from bigger channels, has faded into the ether.
Thank you Sir for sharing your time, your passion for GI Joe, and your talents as a historian which should not be overlooked.
Thank you for all of the amazing content, and for your efforts to build and include rather than divide and destroy.
Sorry to see you go. But you have to do what is best for you. You're videos have always been fun and informative. You'll be missed.
Thanks so much for all your hard work; the blood, sweat and tears made many people happy.
Your channel will be missed.

Thank you for all your amazing videos! You will be missed
Thanks for fun videos. I hope you're next step brings you joy.
The end of a Great Era 👍 Thank you for giving us 10 years of your life. 10 years of joy & happiness! Took me back to my childhood and that my friend is priceless!

Yo Joe Hoodie! I've always appreciated your straight forward honesty about life. Thanks for the decade of work to our entertainment. You will be missed. Wishing you the best.
Never commented but always watched…thank you for all the knowledge and entertainment over the past 10 years! Best of luck in your future endeavors, You will be missed! YO JOE!
HCC it’s been a pleasure watching you, meeting you at conventions, and guest starring with you on ATKM. You have made your dent in the G.I. Joe universe!
Thank you so much for your work! You will be missed, bless you and take care
Thank you for the hours of education and enjoyment you have given me. All the best in the future!
Often when people go through a huge life or traumatic event, they change the things around them that they can that remind them of the things that they went through or lost and that is totally ok, especially when they are moving into another phase of their life. It is a totally ok and normal reaction. You can still love those things, but they don't always need to be right there at the front of the line. You made so much great content and should be very proud of your work and the entertainment you brought to the fans and know hat you are very appreciated.
Thank you for all of the great videos! I was never in a position to donate to the channel, but I was always a fan.
I've enjoyed your videos for a long time now. Thank you for all the years of enjoyment and for getting me back into this great hobby.
Best of luck to you. May you find peace.
Thank you! Cheers from Brazil!
all good things must come to an end, thank you for all you have done my friend, and all the best on your new chapter in life.
One of my two favorite Joe channels. Pursue your passions! Thanks for the good times and great memories.
You will be missed my friend but you have to do what’s best for you I hope we can stay in touch take care
I do wish you'd do one more review on v2 Rock n Roll, as that was the "goal" originally. That being said, it is your project, and sometimes you have to know when to walk away. Continued success in whatever you persue next, and hopefully we'll see you around in some form or another down the line! Thanks Hoodie, it's been a wild ride.
100% support you HCC. There is more to life than plastic. Family, love, friendships, experiences, fulfillment... I hope you can continue to collect those :)
Thanks for this channel....really appreciate for bringing back my memories of a happier time long ago. All the best on your retirement and new endeavours!
Thank you for all the time and hard work you put into this channel. You will be greatly missed but I appreciate the ten years you dedicated to one of, if not the best GI JOE channel on youtube. God Bless.
Just recently got into watching your videos this year. Mostly to watch the figures I had or never had but always wanted in the early 90s. Thank you for your videos. Wishing you all the best for your future projects.
Thanks for your reviews, KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE..
This is not the update I had hoped for. Thank you for everything, Hoodie, and I'll see you this last time at Joefest. I'm grateful we got to have some fun before you left the hobby.
Thank you! I will always value the videos that you have made and will continue to come back to them. Hope you have many happy years ahead.
Hoodie, thank you for all your content! Although I will miss your channel I truly appreciate all you’ve done. In 2018 when I was looking for GI Joe content yours was the first channel I found. You connected me to so many other content creators. So with all my heart thank you. I wish you good luck in all your future endeavors and I hope to see you again at Joefest and in the future.
Your videos are me and me brothers GO TO for GI Joe. All I can say is this will all come back around for you. Please don’t sell your JOE’s, there will come a day when you will be super happy you have them. Thank you HCC, you will be missed by us.
Thank you for your service. I have so many Joes I wasn't familiar with in my collection because of your detailed reviews. I hope someone steps up and continues finishing the entire line on UA-cam.
I hope you enjoy your life and new passions as much as you enjoyed GI Joe, and as much as we enjoyed you enjoying GI Joe.
And remember, only GI Joe is GI Joe.
Thank you Bryan for everything.
Thanks for everything Hoodie Coco. It's been an awesome journey together.
Darn, this is really unexpected. Even though I rarely AT ALL appear in some of your streams, your content is still the best when it comes to reviewing Gi Joe action figures.
So farewell, Hoodie. I commend your work.
I want to thank you. Your channel is one of the first ones I found when I began collecting the vintage line. The information you have provided through the years has been extremely helpful. You have been a bit of a mentor, and I will always be appreciative of the influence you made in my GI Joe journey. I wish you the absolute best in life. You are truly loved by many of us, and you will always be thought of. Again, thank you.
So long, and thanks for the memories! I've been watching for ten years, and it's been a great ride. Best wishes to you and yours in the future.
I just found your channel and I think it's Great!! Thank you for the Joe videos. Best to you and your family in your retirement. And remember....GO JOE!!!
Thank you for the channel and for leaving it up as a historical record. I’m relatively new to the channel and there are still so many things to discover.
Endings are always sad, but they can be hopeful as well. New beginnings can come from even the saddest endings. Wherever you go next in life, God Bless, and Godspeed
Im 43, I just found your channel a couple months ago. I wish I'd been around from the start of your channel. I don't know how I missed your channel. Good luck in all your future endeavors. God bless you and your family brother. Yo Joe ✌️
Thank you for every one of your videos. They have made a huge impact on me as a GI JOE fan.
Thank you sir for 10 years of hard work and fun!
Thank you for your channel and content. It helped me through some tough times.
Oh no! That’s terrible news but thanks for all the hard work and fun. You will be missed.
I’m from the 1992 neon color Joe era. Your videos weren’t always kind to this era, but you know what? I loved every one of them! Thank you for a great 10 years!
Thank you for all the information you've given us all these years. Your videos have helped all of us build our knowledge and our collections, and will continue to do so as long as it is up. You also inspired many of us to create our own content, and we all truly appreciate that. I wish you well in all of your future endeavors, and hope you enjoy your retirement. You will be sincerely missed.......
Thank you for all the years. I didn’t watch you a lot, but over the years you have always been in my feed and I appreciate the Joe content.
Although I’m sad to see you go, I totally get where you’re coming from and the reasons why. All I can say is thank you for the ride!
Thanks for the content; be well.
I watched this video an hour after posted, and I waited to give feedback. I did not know of how many people were making GIJoe videos until I found HCC. I enjoyed these videos. I mourned during MIA time and for FormBX.
Whatever your next adventure take you, HCC, make sure you do it with style, like you have with these videos. Thank you for your service, HCC.
Yo, Joe!
I started following your channel all the way back to 2016. I enjoyed watching most of your videos, and most certainly I'll miss watching new content from this channel from now on. Wishing you well in your future endeavors and thank YOU for these 10 years.
Thank you for your love and dedication to the joe community. Wish you the best on your next journey.
I didn't want anyone "smarter". I didn't want anything "better". I just liked watching you as is. I will miss you. Will totally miss the fun live streams as well. Thank you for all you've done. I bid you well on your endeavors.
Thank you for all the great work
Thank you for those beautiful nostalgic moments. Good luck in you future projects.

Sorry to see you go Hoodie but 10 years is a long time. It's understandable that the passion can wane. Hoping the best for your future.
