Action Figure Of The Day

I believe alot of the guys you see today carrying assault rifles and living off the land , shacked up in the wilderness had to have been inspired by movies like Rambo and Commando. Both were bad ass and let's face it, we all wanted to be that bad ass ! Me? Hell, I have a hard time putting a worm on a fishing hook so as much as I wanted to be like John Matrix, it wasn't in the cards for me. I could only hope to  live vicariously through this action figure as a kid. Great fucking times, tho.

    I used to have the 3.75 figures but sold them on eBay a while back. They were just as solid as the larger scaled figs! Good stuff!

    Holy crap. His waist is the same size as his head! Looks like he's struggling to catch fish himself ;D

    It was kind of overshadowed by the more popular Rambo Force of Freedom line of figures. Also, Rambo had a cartoon series and Commando didn't. That could have been the difference maker.

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.
