Action Figure Of The Day

There are certain figures in ones collection that, for one reason or another, put a smile on your face. This figure does just that. As a kid I could only dream of ever owning an Optimus Prime action figure. Transformers were usually more expensive than GI Joe figures so I hardly had any as a kid. The mini's mostly.  I knew that when Hasbro announced they would be releasing reissues, Optimus had to be on that list and I was going to have to track one down. I'm not sure how true this one is to the original but it's close enough for me. Glad I was able to finally add it to my collection 🚛

    Awesome! I can hear his iconic voice from the cartoon.

    Always wanted one. My friend had the original with the trailer and everything. I was/am still crazy jealous of him!

    Great looking figure. I've thought about adding some of the G1 reissue figures to my collection, but have yet to actually buy one. If I did... Optimus would be one of the ones I'd put high on my wantlist.

    You shouldn't have a hard time picking one up either, Fuji. There are a lot of third party Optimus reissues out there as well . Most come with the trailer. Hasbro released this one as a stand alone figure.

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

A GI Joe Post That's Not Classified

Image
As much as I love the Classified line of Joe figures, I feel like there's other Joe stuff out there that deserve a little bit of that spotlight.   Pictured are two custom cardback figure protectors and four Diamond Select 💎  GI Joe figures.   I'd been looking for a way to protect my stashed 3.75  o-ring Joe's when I came across these online. I picked up William Perry's and Snake Eyes protectors and will be adding more as they are made available.   These are unpunched, clean and professional looking cardbacks that feature vintage artwork  on the front and file card on the back.  Diamond Select just doesn't get the props they deserve in my opinion. As much as I dig  their Marvel Minimates line, these Joe Minimates are equally cool! I'm not even sure I want to open these guys up. I mean I want to, but would hate to.
