What's with the G.I. Joe franchise and why Isn't Hasbro doing something about  It?It's crazy because with all the advancements In our military ,amazing technology and possible real world tie- ins ,you would think they'd have enough fodder to be able to spit out G.I. Joe films on a yearly basis.Heck, I'd even settle for a Netflix series ala Agents of Shield.Give us something,Hasbro.Something! Anybody else think Marvel films have become a little too comedy heavy?Yeah,the writing Is great.So are most of the jokes.But,not every character In the Marvel Universe has a sense of humor .While I'm not the biggest fan of FOX's line of X-Men films,I can appreciate the seriousness about them. Speaking of Marvel and Hasbro,where are the 3 3/4 figures?It seems like It will only be Marvel Legends 6 inch figures and larger from here on out.That sucks,too,because I really wanted a 3 3/4 Beyonder figure for my collection. That's It for this...

More Marchon Goodness!

I can't say enough about these Rambo knock off's!I just love them!A while back we looked at Rizzo from the Marchon M-Force line of 6 inch military figures.Today we look at Mean Jo Ling and Rizzo?Yeah ,I guess this guys name Is Rizzo ,too,according to what I was able to dig up online.Aside from the same color hair ,the faces are  totally different. I love the chunkiness to these figures. They're a handful of rugged,durable plastic with 5 points of solid articulation. If there was ever a group of military men that could bring John Rambo back dead or alive ,It would be these three right here! Looks like Rambo's gonna need some backup!                                                 Three on three,now that's more like It! No guns ,knives or weapons. Rizzo vs. Rambo,hand to hand combat!

Super Fighting Robot!

Anybody  ever have this theme song trapped In their heads?I'll be washing the dishes and out of nowhere I'll start singing "Super Fighting Robot...MEGA MAN!" ,repeatedly ,lol.And who doesn't love Mega Man?I wasn't crazy about the NES games but I loved the SNES and PS1 versions. I've always wanted a Mega Man action figure but most were on the larger side and I was looking for something a little more portable.Luckily Hasbro has started releasing figures based on the MARVEL vs. CAPCOM games.Two packs of the more popular characters ,Mega Man  being one of them.He comes packaged with an Iron Man figure that I already have so I picked up the lone Mega Man fig.I didn't know what to expect ,articulation wise.After receiving It In the mail and messing around with It for a little while ,I'm pretty impressed! I counted 14 points of articulation.The head moves sided to side ,shoulders swivel and  the arms bend and rotate at the elbow .The legs are o...
