Totally forgot about this guy. I usually think of Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow when I talk about favorite characters... but Quick Kick was also one of my faves back in the day as well.
He was a bit of a clown but I think that's why I liked him so much.Plus,he was the only Joe bad ass enough to run through the arctic without a shirt on and bare foot.That's some Bear Gryllis type shit right there.
Funny thing I have no real connection to the cartoon as I didn't really watch it.I was a teenager when it started and I only paid the passing attention to it. I do have a great memory of the animated movie though it was more what was going on in the room time lol
That movie was so great!I thought they would pick right up from there and continue to run new cartoon episodes with some of the newer Joes and Cobra villain action figures being released at the time.Sadly,such was not the case.We never got to see Crystal Ball,Raptor,Repeater or Spearhead and Max In any Joe animation :(
The other day ,my better half and I had the chance to traverse our local mall early In the day.I hate going to malls at peak hours or on the weekends.The crowds are just too damn cool for me.Long story short,our mall now has a toy store! I couldn't believe my eyes.From a far It looked like It was going to be some artsy fartsy place with educational toys ,wooden blocks and model kits,but no!This place had pretty much everything collectors go for nowadays.The name of the store Is "Go!,Toys and Games" and I can honestly say that I've never heard of It before.Everything was a dollar or two extra ,but that's not too bad considering how ridiculously expensive modern toys are In hobby and toy shops these days.I really hope this place sticks around. There Is a nice mix of everything.Marvel Legends,Star Wars to blind bags to Funko figs.On top of that there are tons of board games and books. WTF? Yes! 3 3/4 Marvel Legends!!!!!Not alot thou
As much as I love the Classified line of Joe figures, I feel like there's other Joe stuff out there that deserve a little bit of that spotlight. Pictured are two custom cardback figure protectors and four Diamond Select 💎 GI Joe figures. I'd been looking for a way to protect my stashed 3.75 o-ring Joe's when I came across these online. I picked up William Perry's and Snake Eyes protectors and will be adding more as they are made available. These are unpunched, clean and professional looking cardbacks that feature vintage artwork on the front and file card on the back. Diamond Select just doesn't get the props they deserve in my opinion. As much as I dig their Marvel Minimates line, these Joe Minimates are equally cool! I'm not even sure I want to open these guys up. I mean I want to, but would hate to.
I remember The League of Extraordinary Bloggers back In the day, never partook In any of the festivities, though. This time around, especially with state of the blogosphere , I feel I need to participate a little more to see If we can breathe life back into toy blogging! So , a big thank you to Brian over at Cool and Collected for bringing the League back. Here's my introductory league assignment post. Very simple ,snap a pic of two of your very favorite shelves. I chose the two shelves hat display all of my vintage . It only recently wrapped around to the bottom shelf with the addition of a couple of Swamp Thing figures I received from Brother Midnight In a recent trade. I'm hoping to fill out the bottom shelf over the coarse of the winter. So there you have It. Definitely check out Cool and Collected when you get the chance to get your next league assignment......! Check these shelfies out.... Green Plastic Squirt Gun The Stunt Zombie
