2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

G.I. Joe has long been off my radar ,since Retaliation I think.The last Joe I can remember picking up was the 50th Ann. Commando Snake Eyes.A remake of the popular POC  Snake Eyes.Both figures look exactly the same but the quality of the remake seemed  a bit off.That,coupled with the TRU exclusivity  really killed the franchise for me.I've been  G.I. Joe'd out for a couple of years now.Lately, I've been trying to find a way to rekindle that childhood love I had for G.I. Joe ,but find myself coming  up short  In the process.So I'm going to press the reset button.From now on,my Joe collecting will draw inspiration from what Is probably my fondest memory of  the overall franchise.The Rise of Cobra! JUST KIDDING LOL!!! Just below Is  what has to be my biggest,most best-est G.I. Joe  moment of  all time!The animated film,G.I. Joe :The Movie!Not only would this be a full length feature film ,but lots of the new characters would be making their first animated debuts!I mea

I've finally reached the end of my TMNT Mega Bloks rope.This Is the Bebop Villains Pack set that comes with Bebop and three Foot Soldiers.     You gotta hand It to Mega Bloks for creating  such  cool little articulated figures .It's amazing to me that something so tiny can be engineered to fit so well together and work!Seriously,If Mega Bloks created a 3 3/4 figure in this same manor,It would totally work!Imagine the fun customizers would have. It could be something like Mashers but without all the goofy ports. Baby Foot Soldiers!Everyone's favorite elongated skulled purple alien ninja!  I didn't think I was gonna dig the sewer plumbing display stands too much but man ,I fucking love em!The little action shot portraits are just awesome to look at.Mega Bloks has a way of making you forget that these are lego esque children's building blocks.I decided to get creative and add a second floor to this display.  Check this shit out!

This is  a pretty cool stand alone set,If your into the movie.I picked this up to compliment my set of four Eastman Laird turtles,but the characters don't really mix well.Save for the actual Kraang rubber figure(sans body),Shredder and Raph will probably be stashed (unless I decide to go after the other three turtles).    I always said that If I ever did  start picking up mini figs,they would be of the Mega Bloks variety.I like them better than Lego in that they are more poseable.The amount of removable accessories   Is insane. Everything from Raph's web gear (which also features holsters on the back for both sai's) to his mask,wristbands and shoulder pad.  I was disappointed In Shredder,though,because he didn't come with his trademark claws.Just a ,what i'm assuming , Mutagen gun.  Kraang looks pretty cool when stuffed into his host cyborg body. The best part about this set,imo,Is the cryo chamber with working light!It doesn't j
