2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

I'm a little late to the party with this figure,but at the party, nonetheless. I've avoided the Nickelodeon line of TMNT figures like the plague.Aside from the Nick turtles themselves,I feel like alot of the villains got shafted.We still don't have a proper Shredder to speak of In this contemporary line of animated series or movie figures.Things do look a little brighter with this new line of movie figures,as far as Krang,Bebop and Rocksteady go.Last years movie line wasn't really impressive ,but they got this foot soldier right.I needed some villains to  display with my Playmates Nick Eastman Laird turtles ,and this figure earned that honor. Eventually I will have to track down a Krang ,Rocksteady and Bebop from this years first wave of movie figures.I won't really go into any review as this one's been on countless toy vlogs and sites already. I would have rather this guy been named something else because to me a Foot Soldier has to be a Ninja.But he...

We've come to the final piece In the trade package I received from Derek,of Coolandunusual  , and it was a gem!I've been after this figure for years now,always passing It up on eBay due to overblown scalper prices.Derek must have remembered me mentioning him in an older post or comment and came through for me big time. I couldn't wait to get this figure in hand ,because frankly,It is not your typical G.I. Joe figure.The sculpt Is completely original  and that's what I like about Venomus Maximus  most.Besides the cool name ;)He came to me incomplete without his cape and staff  but I can try to track those down at a later date. Venomous Maximus made his debut In the G.I. Joe Valor Vs. Venom animated movie.After Cobra captured General Hawk,they infused him with a combination animal hybrid DNA and created Maximus. His debut would be short lived,however,as the Joes were able to find a serum and turn General Hawk back to his human human form. Damn you G.I. Joe...
