Pop Culture Jibber Jabber




Whenever I find myself with a little downtime,I go to the old toy room and reflect.I reflect on alot of things.Why do I have so many toys?Why Is It so damn hot outside?Why do I complain about the heat when In the winter time all I did was  pray for summer to get here?Today I got to thinking about a Jason Vorhees / Snake Eyes matchup.Or,not even a match up but just a comparison.Both have a lot in common.Jason wears a  mask to cover his hideous appearance.So does Snake Eyes. They're both silent and can sneak up on you when and where you least expect it.Both carry a sword .Well Jason carries a machete .Same shit.1982 marked the first time Jason donned his trademark hockey mask In Friday The 13th part 3.So you make the call.Did the creators of G.I. Joe have Jason Vorhees In mind when they created Snake Eyes?

This Is the original Sunbow cartoon version of Snake Eyes.More militarized ,before the ninja motif took off.But damn It If that head design doesn't resemble a hockey mask.

Here's Mr. Vorhees. O.K. kind of apples and oranges but man do they give off that same silent but deadly vibe.No machine gun just a a handy machete.But Snake Eyes would later have a sword of his own.

    Before hearing your points, I probably would have thought you're joking. But you bring up some good points. Just can't imagine too many other have ever drawn comparisons between these two guys.

    I thought I was crazy too .I know the two are completely different but at the same time ,It's that vibe they both give off.There's something about a mute assailant that freaks me the f*%$ out,lol!

    I came to the conclussion once that after all what Snake Eyes has done, and specially after seeing the Resolute mini series, that he is a complete psycho! he probably suffers PTSD and I had actually an idea in my head about a mini story revolving SE snapping, maybe after seeing Scarlett killed or something and just go on a killing spree on a Cobra Terror Drome trying to get revenge and the Joe team is then sent after him because he went rogue and they fear him like a weapon because they don't know what he is capable of in that state and they fear he might go after them too!

      Exactly!That's kind of how I saw it too.Someone whos seen so much In war with the army and G.I. Joe with no voice to express his feelings Is sure to develop some kind of Jason Vorhees like syndrome lol.Snake Eyes Is already dangerous but crazy,deranged Snake Eyes Is ten times deadlier!

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.
