Soldier Force

Thank god for hole In the wall stores like Family Dollar. O.K. It's not that bad of a place to shop and my kids loved It when they were younger. It just seems like a lot of them are going to shit these days with their ravaged display shelves and  disgruntled employees complaining about management. I can see how the youngans   become enamored by it as  90% of what they carry consists of junk food and toys. Take these Chap Mei Soldier Force figures. For about 12 bucks ,a kid can walk out of their local Family Dollar with a small army and a 10 foot long piece of chewy ,sour  rope to wash it down! Nothing a beats a coinciding toy and candy high. Military figures always catch my eye and the Chap Mei brand Is a reputable one. I picked up three figures,the one carded below Is my favorite of the bunch.


I'm pretty sure all of you are familiar with Chap Mei and I won't be surprised If these are re-released figures from past sets being sold individually. They're solid with good paint apps and decent articulation. Most sport 11 points of articulation while some that I saw on a YouTube review had less amounts of articulation.I believe that was the Navy Seal deep diver. There may be others.


I liked this guy the best. He came with an added accessory,a gas mask ,but his weapon Is made out of a soft rubber and gets all bent out of shape.



I thought these would photograph well with DC Inifinite Heroes figures as both have similar articulation and large hands. They did but the Soldier Force figures are a bit taller than the DC figures. All in all , a nice little set of figures and at three bucks a piece ,totally worth it.

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...

At The Corner Store

Ooooh,this is a good one!Corner stores.What would we,as kids,have done without em'!Corner stores were our gas stations.Where we would go to fuel up on junk food at the midway point of our  day.On the way there we would reflect on how things  had gone so far and speculate on what might or should happen next.Jokes were  told,friends were clowned and many a fart was laid. I think It was one of those things where the journey was more  enjoyable  than the destination.After all,we were free!Like Toy Box mentioned In his Round Robin post,back In the days there were no terror threats,Ebola outbreaks or ballsy pedophiles on the prowl.We all came from the same hood so everybody knew everybody and all the crazies knew better than to mess with anybody's kids.Corner store visits was our time to walk the streets on our own,free of any parental guidance.The sidewalks were ours to speed on with our bikes and skateboards.Parks,even if chained up,always had a weak link and a...
