GI Joe Classified Beachhead

I had already seen tons of Beachhead reviews prior to receiving this one, and I was on the fence about the figure. The light green weapons give the figure a Lanard Corps!  vibe and the beret , while a cool addition, wasn't something I was accustomed to seeing Beachhead with. Those qualms aside, you've got a nice, updated version of a childhood favorite! 

I think a little bit of camouflage detail along the sleaves and military cargo pants would have gone a long way. Other than that, it's not a horrible figure, by any means. The working holsters, glossy accents and throwback backpack design help even things out.

    I think the figure looks really good... and the removable beret is a nice bonus. My only issue are the green weapons. Then again... I'm not on the up and up with weapons... so maybe they're actually green in real life.

    I'm no weapons expert either come to think of it. There very well might be metallic green guns in the military. Even still, these could have been a little more detailed. Overall,tho, a great action figure. I mean, It's 6 inch Beachhead💥💥

    Beach Head was always a favorite, even before I knew what a Beach Head was when I joined the Army. Glad they made him. Not glad he was a difficult to find Target exclusive. Still - would rather have him. Awesome figure.

    I had to look up what Beach Head meant in military terms. Interesting.

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.
