Totally. What a ragtag bunch of maniacs!

Thanks my brother. We'll keep doing them! Yo Joe!

Excellent! These are my favourite comments of all! If kids are watching these and getting inspired to play like we did back in the day then I'm a happy man. I hope the birthday is an epic one!

Hehe! Thanks Dave! Toy fans with aspirations of cinematography. Dream big!

Thanks so much Chris! Lucky he came molded with a spare bandolier! Everyone scratches their head at Iceberg's gun design!

I credit Paul for that line. He's the funny one.

That cracked me up :D

YESSSSS! Thanks matey! And I could not agree more. These toys were the absolute business.

Guitardudeguy TMark/Osh If the Corps are introduced into the GI Joe universe, does that mean we'll be getting True Heroes as well 🤔

airplanecity I hope not, the Corps is cool , they've been around since the eighties. True heroes are just too,. Well wonkie to me, and disproportionate. That's just me. Some of the vehicles are cool, just don't like the figures. But if the Joe's need some fodder....

"Did someone throw a boomerang at you?"... LMAO! "That's just...weird!" That was great..

I think The Corps! made it easier for us to work in because they copied the GI Joe template even down to including dossiers. Not much to go on, but enough. Inventing character's for the True Heroes bunch would be an interesting exercise... but their articulation leaves something to be desired. I will be using some of their vehicles, let me assure you. I have a Chap Mei Osprey from back in the day that seems to be the envy of just about everyone. So I'm definitely gonna flaunt that in a video!!! Hahaha!

Thank you! What an oddball bunch that initial Corps! lineup was. Generic and iconic at the same time. This vid has definitely endeared them to me.

HoodedCobraCommander788 were you in it

HoodedCobraCommander788 I mean did you help

Snake-eyes 06 I'm pretty sure he ment "that was fun to watch".

Kayle Mathew Comendador ohhhh😐

Read it out to the rest of the team. This thread made us chuckle.

Thank you so much. It's our chief inspiration really. With Larry Hama's influence, of course. It's that balance that will always scream "GI Joe" to me.

Thank you! We were so thrilled when the guys over at the GoFundMe voted The Corps! as the villains. In hindsight, I think trying to work Megatron into our little tale would have been a bit of a stretch...

Heh yeah that was hilarious! I actually collect modern Corps figures. Lanard is doing some good stuff with them these days.

I prefer to use those guys as backup standard military for the Joe's since they have the Abrams and other rl vehicles.

Oh wow! Thank you so much! Lovely to hear that!

Ha! I'd like to know what he thinks. He is of course pretty much my chief inspiration. Thanks for the kind words!

It's your best action sequence work so far IMO. I think he'd enjoy the humor too! keep up the good work, looking forward to more GI Joe action!

Challenge accepted! Thanks for the comment bro!

Aaaah. What a great time that was. We'll keep playing that nostalgia note my man! Yo Joe! Burg!

GI Joburg Fan for life!

The Corps!/Gung Ho! characters are such fun. I hope you don't mind that we relocated Croc to South African, but Boomerang Billy is all yours!

Haha! That was Paul's gag. Funny guy!

Woah! Genius! Step aside, Chris Nolan! GI Joburg is here...

We can and most certainly will! 23 mins make it the same length as a Sunbow episode. We'll keep aiming for that length from now on!

Greetings from South Africa! We plan on doing plenty more of these; it's just a case of scheduling in the time! I do the majority of the shooting; but I'm on the move thanks to work for much of the next 12 months! No fun! But I'll do what I can when I can; be sure to hit the bell and you'll be notified when we post a new one! Yo Joe!

Well thank you very much. Totally worth it, we're so stoked you like it! If only I could play with my toys for camera fulltime!

Thanks Patrick, I’m glad you found us and you like it!

Thank you so much!

Aw! Thank you. We just do what we've done since we were kids... just this time with an iPhone involved!

GI Joburg I'm still waiting on the day the U.S.S Flagg and the Defiant will make an appearance in your episodes.

It's coming. Believe me. It's been scripted. But how on earth will I shoot it? Time to build my custom polystyrene hull!!!

Thank you my man! We are pretty stoked about this one. Glad you liked it!

I’m glad you found us Devin! Hope you like it here! You can always play with your toys buddy. You’ve got plenty company.

Thank you so much!

Thanks Cee Kay! I would have loved to fit Florida into the schedule and put your customs through some battle testing; perhaps the next time I'll be passing closer by!

Thank you! I think my buddies and I used them as drug cartel enforcers! Large Sarge, Tony Tanner and Boomerang Billy totally look like they belong in a plantation with an assault rifle!

Hahah. I’ll make sure Paul finds out that you found his gag funny.

Thank you! I hope you had a good one yourself!

Thank you so much! These are such fun to do. Expect more!

GI Joburg I am genuinely looking forward to the future episodes. These are LEGENDARY. Any efx planned for shots? I have an idea for you and your team if you don't use it currently for fun and gun shots.... Air. Either straws or tubing you can make parallel lines with multiple holes placed in sand and other medium for shots fired effects. Keep up the good work. A trademark barrel flash when weapons are used would be great to see. Since its all about old-school, as simple as some micro cut streamer on the barrels and blown for the effect or as simple as construction paper. I see it in my mind's eye when I watch your already awesome episodes.

You betcha man! We most certainly will keep it.. !

Thanks! I'm an aviation nut myself. So you can expect to see plenty more jet and helo action in future adventures!

Terrific idea! It'll have to be in the tropics to justify Chuckles' shirt!

Strato Viper I agree, class of 86 was great.

Class of '87, '88, '89 and '90 are also the best!!!

We're gonna hopefully work our way though the years gang! Hopefully all your faves will find representation.

Thanks! We'll see what we can do! Graduation Day actually had its origins after we held a poll for our GoFundMe supporters last year. They could vote on who the good guys were; who they were up against; what vehicles they would use; and what the mission was. The popular vote was the season 2 Sunbow cast versus The Corps! with PTE vehicles and a "Defend the Base" scenario. We should do another one!

Thanks pal!

Thank you Adam!

Yeah, that stuff really does give it all the right feel. Big fan of those orchestrations. Thank you for the kind words!

Thanks so much! We certainly will!

Hee heee! Glad you liked that gag. Sarge is the best character to write for. Totally larger than life. And to my knowledge that version is the only vintage one with a removable hat, right you are!

Aw, thanks Steven! We never get tired of hearing it. You listening, HOLLYWOOD?! 😝

Thanks! You’re in luck, new episode drops tomorrow!

Welcome to Joburg! I hope you like it here! We will most certainly keep releasing vids of us playing with our toys!

Thanks James. These silly things are such a hoot. I'm so stoked people like 'em.

Rezikai I laughed when he said, “I didn’t call for tech support”.

Thank you. Don't get much opportunity to build in character moments in a short with such a full roster. But little hints like that are so important to me. And its important to the true Joe fans like you!

Awwwwww, thanks! Now we just need the Hollywood budget! And as far as losing toys on location goes; we've got off light! So far only Beachhead's submachinegun is the only thing to be lost. So far. And I got a replacement at JoeCon! Lucky me?

Vince! You rock buddy!

Yesss! They were a great little dedicated combat unit. And such antagonism among them. Whereas the previous year seemed like eclectic specialities that were all pals, it feels like the 1986 crowd were always competing with one another. Good chemistry.

@@gijoburg I agree, you need that in a highly elite combat team!

Haha! You're absolutely right. But come after me and I'll hit you with the Bat-repellent spray!

Thank you so much Robert! Never get tired of hearing encouraging words like yours. Without them, I wouldn't be looking at continuing the adventures of the Joe team with these webisodes. I hope you stick with us. I can't guarantee them being released very regularly. But I can assure you we've got a number of fun ones in the pipeline!

Yo Joe, Nigel! Thanks my man.

I hope you all have a great time at joecon 18 👍👍👍👍👍😊

Haha! Better get a real Aussie to play Billy then!

I know a few ;)

Thanks Willie! In the aftermath of JoeCon, believe me I'd love to pick this back up.

Thank you very much Steve! We aim to please. And it's funnnnnnn!

Thank you so much! All I ever want to do is script and shoot these types of adventures. Too bad life gets in the way. And my crappy hardware!

@@gijoburg I hope u can somehow make a living out of doing what u love-because ur videos are actually BETTER than the movies they put out!

Ha! High praise indeed. Thank you. The secret is that I know what toy fans want to see: TOYS! It's like why would you have anything but Lego in a Lego Movie?! Play with some 1986 originals and you can't fail!

Hey Steve, yeah i so wish i still had my orginal Joes-the class of 86 were some of my absolute favorites!

Thanks Dale! The Sarge will be back, I assure you!

Me too. Every day. So I do this!

Had a pretty good time making it too. Thanks for commenting!

Thank you so much David! We will most certainly keep making these, you can be assured of that!

Thank you! I hope you had a good day yourself!

Thanks Wes! I’m sure Paul will be thrilled you like that gag. He be our script gag man. And I’ll go you one better - if ever you find your way down to Cape Town South Africa, you can help us shoot these things! 😝

Care to guess??

@@gijoburg hmmm...it has to be zartan disguised as someone, Leatherneck?

@@gijoburg lol nevermind i know who the joe is Lady jaye just started watching another episode, my guess it's the baroness in disguise.

Classic cartoon move! I love that explanation. And Cobra would totally shop the information to The Corps! to get them to do their dirty work for ‘em. Lovely!

Thanks! Please make more, I'm getting caught up on them ! Lol

Hello my friend! I hope you had the best time.

Hahaha! Mean ol Beachhead. He’s a team player... but only when he needs to be.

You bet we will! Doing things (loosely) chronologically. I hope to ultimately get to do the Ninja Force and Eco Warriors!

And they bite!😝

Thank you so much!

JoeCon was AWESOME! Thanks for the comment and I think after the response this vid has received, we most definitely will be doing a Corps! episode.
