Bryan, thanks for this. I'm a clinical psychologist (and an action figure enthusiast!), and a BIG part of treating depression involves doing things that bring you pleasure and satisfaction. I've had more than a few conversations with patients of mine about getting back to the things they enjoy, which (for some) has included action figures! Your videos have also been helpful for me; after a day at work, unwinding with HCC788 helps to keep me sane. Take care and be well!
I've always been a big fan of Jinx. They always say boys won't guy girl action figures, but I was so happy to have Jinx and played with her almost always.
HCC788: Super solid review, as always. Jinx was a very strong point in the 1987 animated movie, for sure. In G.I. Joe: Retaliation, her yellow and black outfit was very reminiscent of a new character in the more recent comics (maybe from publisher Devil's Due or IDW?) named Agent Helix. Anyway, awesome review!
Bryan: Thanks for opening up and sharing about your personal life & past, your motivations, and reasons for putting so much effort into these reviews. I come here for the nostalgia and to re-live some happy moments from my youth. It's a feeling that has become harder and harder to recapture as I live my life and get older. Your videos often help me get in tune with those moments, most of them fond memories. They also help me accept that it's ok to re-visit those moments and have fun with them now. I can be an adult and I can still find these moments fun.
So thanks on both accounts for being a good reviewer and producer of fun review videos and for being a good guy, grateful for his audience, open and sharing.
This was sweet, and not in a patronizing way. Life happens, who you were makes who you are. The toughest thing is not forgetting who you were at some point and seeing you progress. One thing I liked was you ignoring the past, then gradually going into it after you had finished what you concentrate on now. You really are a positive person, and good ambassador for Joe. Never look back, go forward, but build on what makes you who you are.
Jinx has always been a very solid and great character, love how she ties in with Storm Shadow and CCs son Billy
Action Figure Therapy works. Just look at all of us watching your shows. Happiness and a moment of distraction are the result. Lowers our blood pressure and stress levels fall. Thank you for all your hard work.
I came here for jinx video, I left with so much more. Brian, toy collecting has saved me as well. After deployments Iraq and Afghanistan I found myself in a place where I was numb to the world, no longer felt connected anybody. I felt I had nobody. When I finally started therapy, my therapist collected Pezz dispensers, and recommended I find some thing that I enjoy collecting and join a community around that item. At the time it was Star Wars, and then he grew into G.I. Joe as well. Now I am successful with a loving Family and people who love and care for me in the toy collecting community. This video really hit the spot. Thank you for sharing. yo Joe!
Jinx was the only good thing to come out of that movie imo. She was the only GI Joe my sister had and we would play together. Your channel has helped in rekindling my Joe interest. I've had stuff in storage tubs moved around with me for 30 years and now I'm getting into restoring my favorites with replacement parts. So thanks to you I've found some joy myself which has helped during this shelter in place situation we find ourselves in.
I was wondering where this episode was going. For me it was 5 years ago that I began to feel like things had become a dystopian future. Business, work, financial, and medical issues coupled with the decline in new media, environment, and society; really began to wear on me. I realized my collections of Joes, movies, TV shows, Star Wars, and other items from the past were what I really enjoyed. I like the past better and I realized it was time to stop, slow down, and enjoy what I already had. I feel ya.
Jinx was one of my favorite G.I. Joe figures. She was the last that I remember buying from the original run of 3 3/4 figures,as I wasn't too excited with the direction of the figure line at that time . I wasn't following the comic book at that point,so didn't know what she looked like without the mask. The mask actually made the figure more appealing to me in the same way that I liked Snakes -Eyes . With Snakes-Eyes you could project however you wished him to look like in order to relate to him. The same could be said with Jinx. I had the choice to imagine what she looked like under the mask. I was also glad that she was an Asian and one of the good guys. One thing that G.I. Joe was good about was including all types of people from different racial and social backgrounds.
Your reasons for getting back into GI Joe mirror mine almost exactly. It was a very dark period in my life and I found something that reminded me of a happier and simpler time. It gave me a hope in a very bleak time. Thanks for uploading this.
Ninja punch his testicles. Classic! Another good review. A bit of a mediocre character but I always loved her. Then ending was a nice look into where you came from. didn't know that. And the philosophical take on us old Joe collectors was pretty spot on.
When I was young I made the commitment to always love GI Joe. Thanks for doing these great videos. It's great to be among others who share the love of GI Joe.
You are right, these toys are not just plastic, they are characters and a lot of them have depth. That's what I love most about them.
Respect for sharing these personal issues. It adds depth to the channel to understand how you got into collecting and how it helped you deal with setbacks. I can relate to that. Your old channel sounds interesting. What I value most in your reviews is the political and cultural knowledge you bring to the analysis and it sounds like that's something you've carried over from your previous incarnation.
I'm so pleased that you decided to upload this, I relate mate, I truly do. Where ever you source the strength is not as important as just knowing you found it somewhere. Go Joe and Go Bryan.
I loved this video. I loved Jinx. I rarely got to play with her because as the only female figure I had my little sister took her all the time until it was stolen by some kid in school.
I also loved your candid confessions at the end. Your videos have indeed helped me and I am glad they help you too.
Great review of my favorite figure! You may recall on Joburg and other FB spots I declared her my favorite member of the Joe team for all the points you precisely hit on in this review! That and just the happiness the 1987 line brought me that none of the subsequent figure lines quite lived up to. The point of the therapeutic value of the Joes to many of us is not to be understated and is a great slice of life you added in. For me the Joe collection has always been central to my life story and its nice to know there are others too out there that attach this kind of sentimental importance to these toys we have saved cherished and in many cases collected all over again!
Great review. There was a remake of jinx in the early `00, she was part of tiger force, and the same mold was used for the cobra rattler 4x4 jeep driver. I know you don't review past the 90s so it's understandable to not mention it here. Keep up the great work.
Great Review. Jinx was one the best 87 action figures.
Not many female characters, but what we did get was top tier. I remember looking over Jinx in the shops, and trying to decide between her and... I think it was Big Boa and Road Pig. I opted for Road Pig, and he may have been the last GI Joe figure I ever bought. I still have a pang for Jinx and Big Boa!
I also think I saw some of your videos back in the day...
Funny how you said Gi joe brought you good memories and sort of got you out of a depressing state I battled addiction for a few years and Gi joe along with family and other things brought me back to the light and now I appreciate the community and the little things in life that got me to where I am today i appreciate seeing your videos and it's good to see how these figures had positive outcomes on others all these years later
My sisters favorite character growing up.Dude You kill it every Video.
Amazing video as always. The ending really touched my heart
lol well done sir 👍 well done. For years every time I go to my mom’s house I find my self wondering and looking for my old toys. I sold most of my toys as a kid at a garage sell sadly but recently bought a on card jinx. Came here to see some info on a toy I once had in 1988 and recently got again and that’s just what I got. Great info great delivery. Go joe.
Dang dude, I just started watching your videos a few weeks back. Totally out of order and no context other than you love GI Joe more than me. I've watched at least 10 videos out of order, probably based on my favorite Joes. This video's ending threw me for a loop. Your old channel sounds pretty awesome. Not looking for them though, just here for GI Joe. But it makes me love what I'm watching even more knowing a small part of your RUclips past. Peace good sir.
Brian, your story is an inspiration, I never knew your pre joe period; but I could always sense your intellect, reason and empathy in your toy reviews. I too gladly struggle with this uncertain century of ours and my place within. Yo joe brother!
A beautiful review as always, HCC! And it was also nice to have that look into your past. And I must agree that I love where the your reviews take me. G.I. Joes are not just pieces of plastic, but a means of connecting to a bygone simpler time of happiness.
That was an awesome and beautiful. It really hit home for me. I am going to rough times right now and your videos let me escape, and when you said those plastic little action figures help us remember the good parts of our past you are right on
Keep up the great work mate, excellent. Thanks for sharing 👍
I know the pain of depression . Like you, I have been looking to my past to heal the wounds. it is a fun band aid but the pain remains:(
I enjoy my Jinx. She's definitely top tier, I think. I love the red.
One of my favs as a child.
As soon as I heard your recent announcement I thought of this video.
Oh wow! This video is really special!
I wonder if, after he had gained much respect from Hasbro through the successful GI Joe comics and the memorable file cards, Hama had major influence on the direction of character design in the action figure line?
Fun fact: Pythona would be the '88 woman figure. They just discontinued her because... Cobra-La.
“The butt that trumpets “ Hahahaha! That was a good unexpected one!
Jinx did have a convention exclusive action figure in 1993.Here is more about that particular figure:www.yojoe.com/action/convention/jinx93.shtml
It is pretty surprising that she did not get a action figure produced as part of Ninja Force. You would think that she would have been a shoe in for that sub team, given her connection to the team in the comics.
"the butt that trumpets" Best review so far!
Great show like all ways
Real world ninjas were spies or intelligence agents. That's what a ninja did so her description is good from a historical but anachronistic point of view.
Wish you would told how jinx got killed in the comics. I was devastated.
I bought this Figure back then and I really dig this particular one nice work... although I liked the ninjas ... excluding most of ninja force this Particular Figure was a favorite
So am remember Ms. Jinx from Comic 95 It was strange story happen in San Francisco , thief stolen small bag from Jinx & blind Master stop him I remember he told something like : " Lack of concentration makes a danger situations .. " It's was my some kind phrase in collage & on swimming pool ...
Keep on keepin' on.
Great review, very touching at the end.
Wow your previous channel sounded very interesting, great review commander.
No words. Pure joy.
I enjoyed Jinx's inclusion in the line, I only wish the animated series could have stuck around long enough to build on her appearance in the '87 movie. She's actually the only female character I had on my Joe team. To be honest, I think my mom wasn't aware that the character was female; she just knew I liked GIJoe and grabbed whatever figures she saw on the pegs.
And I might disagree with you on one point. I hesitate to go so far as to say that GIJoe was tokenistic with female characters. In a military context, the representation depicted in the line was likely over-representative for females in combat roles 3 decades ago. Even now, just 7.5% of female military personnel have a desire for active combat positions. www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/02/25/army-women-combat/5811505/
This seems to scale with the ratio of female characters in a toy line about a military combat team -- the one woman per 14-15 Joe characters introduced each year from '82-'87.
True, there were comparatively few female Joes, but I remember caring about them -- their motivations, their backgrounds, their contributions to the team -- as much as I cared about any of the other Joes.
Here's to the continued celebration of the cultural artifacts that connect us to the memories of youth and the experiences of unencumbered joy.
2:29 He said 1982 but it the 1983 swivel arm 1.5 version
I thought that yellow/black outfit was taken from the sigma 6 cartoon.
Cool video. I had Jinx and liked the figure but liked her comics version even more. Kept thinking a new figure without mask would come out for some reason.
It's interesting to see that you used to have another channel and that it was so different. But I love how you explained the transition.
One piece of possible trivia. In Jinx' file card it says she knows the Iron Hand. That could be a reference to Iron Fist. Larry Hama got his start at Marvel illustrating the early issues of that book.
Well if you look at the torpedo toy and the cobra trooper they are so different in shape it could be perceived as a woman shaped figure. Smaller features.
"Ninja punch his testicles!" BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Did you used to do videos under this Bryan Tulsa moniker before you reviewed GI Joe's?
Lots of my Joes had relations with jinx.
I feel Hasbro missed out huge on not releasing a second female figure in 1987 pythona! ;)
I was under the impression your name was Steve! lol
Excelente video, historia muy parecida. Saludos.
I think that the baroness' outfit is nod to the Dune still suits that came out in 1984 (not dominatrix)
Where is Exeter and Brock?
The coda is reminiscent of Steeler's swan song in the conclusion to "World's Without End." He stayed in the dimension that he needed, and in return needed him.
"Good luck, buddy. You deserve it." - Flint
Cue fanfare...
my jinx had a Gi Joe logo on right leg
10:02 Really dig those buttons on Lady J..........;)
THANK YOU! Finally someone agrees with me, even as a kid it was totally obvious to me that they were nipples. Still can't believe they did that!
thanx for jinx
Hey rhere HCC788, why not sprinkle a few Bryan Tulsa videos once in a while.
Puka? As in Irish for ghost?
Far worst things to bring you joy than G. I. Joe.
I would love to chat with you about the philosophy of John Locke. I firmly believe as to what he said and how our Constitution was based in his thoughts on politics and government. He was the classic liberal of his day and it's funny how it all got twisted around today. But anyway I would rather chat about G.I. Joe on here. Lol
Estoy aqui por SIGUEME EL VIAJE... Jinx
Man this video bummed me out.
13:38 lmao
I have Jix Still in Finland. My color and finishing is better. I have the comic book too when she fights with Storm Shadow. Anyway my figurines is more polished. Maybe they only came to Finland.
I, too, possess the butt that trumpets.
I stole this figure from my friend back when i was 15. She's the only figure from the movie that I didn't have........i regret nothing...
The end credits talking makes it seem like somebody died. Did this guy die?
Hey, Commander, does your interocitor make hot chocolate?
ruclips.net/video/vnVx1pgmxuc/видео.htmlm54s I think you meant Katana. Wakizashi were the shorter blades.
The Jinx figure would be better without the mask; maybe a fabric removable would be okay.
Good guys can't wear masks?? Hahaha... Delusional. Did someone actually think so as a kid??? How about Joe Armstrong, Casey Jones, Orko...? Jinx is like the female version of Storm Shadow
