2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

I only learned about these figures recently on a site that's featured on my blog list called Reasonably Intelligent Rambling. It's a nice site with lots and lots of Joe pics,dioramas and a cool alternate history G.I. Joe storyline. The sites author,Thomas Brooks,published a post on a Marauder "Gun-Runners" figure that really piqued my interest. Marauder " Gun-Runners"  is a web store that specializes in weapons and accessories for most all  3 3/4   action figures i.e. G.I. Joe,Marvel Universe , etc.   Not only do they dabble In weapons and diorama accessories,but they also offer  contemporary G.I. Joe-like  action figures that can be customized to your liking via a port hole system. They offer a nice variation of head sculpts, and mission related colored uniforms with a gi-normous amount of weapons,vests,helmets and war paraphernalia to arm them with.It's like Build-A-Bear meets G.I. Joe!Needless to say ,I was   impressed.I had yet to bring myself to pu

Before I get to the last two mystery figures that arrived recently In a trade I completed with Orniphus ,lets go over this gem of an extra!Orniphus was kind enough to throw this Transformers Robots In Disguise Grimlock figure in with the rest of the agreed figures ,and I'm really digging It.He must have read my post on the  smaller Grimlock that I picked up a while back. I was pretty disappointed with that one ,so Orniphus really looked out here !Now,I've read some reviews and seen some videos on Grims here,  and the figure gets mixed reactions.I for one am not big on the Robots In Disguise series or line of figures ,but this one I love.I believe this Is a deluxe sized figure ,but In no way does he fit into scale with others In his same size class.I didn't catch It at first,but Orniphus pointed out to me that this version would actually look better next to my Generations Optimus and smaller scaled TF's in my collection.And,to coin the great Ned Flanders "Hey-Diddly

This last week ,Orniphus and I had agreed on a two for two trade.Basically,I would send him a 25th Ann. Commando Snake Eyes and a 25th Ann. Breaker In exchange for a TF's Masher Starscream and another figure that was on my want list ,BIG TIME,which will remain nameless until further notice ;) I told him I'd throw In some extras and he said he'd do the same.I just didn't expect the extras to be so damn cool!I'll be going over those two mystery figures soon enough ,but first ,lets check out Starscream from the Mashers line of Transformers figures. You know,the fact that you can't transform these guys doesn't bug me one bit.They look so damn cool In their robot modes that It's become a moot point,really. Finally,a Transformers figure that I can have fun with!I  don't know about you but I really don't have the time to sit there and follow 20 steps to get my Optimus Prime into truck mode and back and then back into truck mode again,and then ba

I'll keep It short because I can't wait to publish some individual posts on some of the great toys Orniphus of Coolandunusual sent me In our latest trade escapade!The always kind Orniphus really outdid himself this time and If you haven't checked out his site or are simply just  looking for an amazing trade partner,go there now! http://coolandunusual.tk/
