Go! Games and Toys
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...
I love Crystal Ball! He's just so crazy! I love the Vincent Price influence on him. Now, to be Honest, he doesn't quite feel like a G.I. Joe figure (even so far as ARAH figures go he's pretty out there) but he's cool mixed in with other oddballs like Raptor.
ReplyDeleteI remember my older sister taking me to buy this figure at my local TRU.I always had the habit of showing whoever It was that took me on the toy run ,not only the figure,but their backstory as well. Almost as If to say "You see,these things are cooler than you think!" Well,my sister made the Vincent Price connection rather quickly,even If I had no clue who he was at the time.
ReplyDeleteThanks to Stephen King for this guy!
ReplyDeleteHad I known this as a kid It would have probably blown my sister's mind ,lol!She was a big fan of his books.
DeleteFreaky looking dude. I remember the kids in the Stephen King novel "The Tommyknockers" talking about their GI Joes.
ReplyDeleteI may have caught scenes here and there of that film but never In it's entirety.
