G.I. Joe The Rise Of Cobra

Just taking a few moments out of the day to pay tribute to a crappy live action film that spawned some really cool action figures.If you weren't collecting at the time,G.I. Joe The Rise of Cobra film was supposed to release a lot earlier than It did.That led to figures making their way to store pegs prematurely and subsequently heading straight to clearance sections.ROSS,TJ Maxx and Marshall's had tons of  them stocked and on clearance for about 3 bucks a piece,some even cheaper.I sagged up a bunch and still have a few,mostly the main cast , left In my collection.

    Not the greatest film but still fun. Recently we watched both films back to back.

    It's an ok ride with some of our favorite childhood heroes in the flesh,but that's about It.Heavy Duty was horrible and Breaker was, to an extent ,as well.

    $3 each? I would've had to grab Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. Next time I attend a toy show, I'll have to keep an eye out for these. Not a big fan of the new look Cobra Commander though.

    The movie wasn't bad. I went into theaters with zero expectations and it met all of them. It was fun to watch.

      It wasn't bad for me until Heavy Duty screamed "YO JOE!" at the end of the movie.That pretty much put the kibosh on It for me.

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.
