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.

There was a time when I could easily fill three of these shelves with modern Joe figs.Sadly,this Is what my collection looks like today.Alot of the figures I used to have got sold or traded off In order for me to amass my Marvel Universe collection.Now that I am somewhat content with my Marvel Universe collection ,I'm going back to collecting modern Joes.The Rise of Cobra line Is still high on my wants list.Yes,the movie was crappy ,but there Is something that has to be said about It being the first live action G.I. Joe film.That ,in my eyes,makes not only the film and figures significant,but all the misc. merch that was also subsequently released. As you can see,the first two rows are figures from the Rise of Cobra line .There are still some figures from that line that I'd like to add at some point like Scarlett,Breaker and Destro just to name a few. In the back there's a mix of 25th Ann.,Pursuit of Cobra and Retaliation movie figures.New additions coming soon!
