Trade With John Gaither!

I completed a trade with my good buddy and former toy blogger  John Gaither this past week.The centerpiece of the deal was the 6 inch  John Matrix Commando figure.It's been on my want list for ever!Not only did I get the 6 inch Commando,but he also threw In a couple of the super rare 3 inch Commando figures,John Matrix included. The rest were some cool extras John decided to throw In . I'll be going over everything individually these next couple of days.Stay tuned!

      I like that ninja better than the more modern ones that came out for the Retaliation line.Sadly,he's missing a ll of his accessories,and there was alot of them.I'll dig up a couple of swords for him when I get some time.

    John is a good guy. I miss him having a blog.

    BTW, I think I have a commando vest sitting around somewhere. I'll check for you.

    I had that Scorpius figure growing up. It wasn't until recently that I learned he was from Voltron. Such an odd figure.

    Speaking of odd figures, I can't imagine the Commando line did too well with kids.

      I don't ever remember seeing any commercials or advertisements for them Chris.With G.I. Joe hitting It's stride and Rambo making It so big with a film and cartoon series,yeah ,these Commando figures probably got the shit end of the stick.I'm not sure how many figures were released In the line but a few are scantily listed on ebay.

      I think it was 3 or 4 each good guys and bad guys, plus the larger size Matrix figure. But I might be off on that. It's been a while since I've seen info on them.

    Agreed. Truly an elder statesman of the toy blogosphere.

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...

My last "Merry Christmas To Me" post was going to be of Marvel Legends Spider-Man animated cartoon series figure that I thought I was getting a great deal on. It turns out the figure was a bootleg. $30 down the drain and a fake Spider Man figure in the trash. I didn't even bother trying to get a refund from the seller. I'll chalk it up to a loss and keep it moving. So today I figured I'd  treat myself to something dope in the toy aisles at my local Walmart and found this!  I'm not sure if this is a reissue or what but It was the last one on the pegs and so I grabbed it. Now I can't get that damned theme song out of my head.
