2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

I was just a kid when the animated GIJoe movie dropped in 1987. It was surreal watching GIjoe inside of a movie theater. Even cooler was the fact that we got to see some of our favorite Joe figures cartoon debut. Jinx, Tunnel Rat, Falcon and my favorite , Law & Order! Law being a Latino in the film was nice to see. Until then the only Spanish Joe, to my knowledge, was Zap Melendez.  I've said it before, these figures are works of art. I could see myself buying the majority of this line If I had the space. I think they are that impressive. That said, Classified has been cranking out figures at an astounding pace and because of that I now have a nice variety to cherry pick from. Law & Order are the newest additions to my collection. 

More junk food for the brain! The Punisher Kills The Marvel Universe! I'll keep this in the stash and flip through it on a rainy day. 

I managed to find this Toybiz Pun fig for a really good price mainly because of the hideous packaging.  I'd like to say that for it's time, trench coat Punisher was a cool figure. But let's be honest, Obi-Wan was sporting this fit back in '77. It's ok I guess. A little too tight to remove and I didn't want to risk tearing it so for now it stays on. One thing I love about these Toybiz figures is their shininess! The 90's kept it glossy with their action figures.  My Punisher action figure collection is taking shape. A few more key figures and I'll be content.

A quick pivot from action figures to comic books, these are my most recent additions. Actually, the first issue is an older pick up, the rest are newly added. Looking forward to reading through these! 

It took me long enough but I've finally added an E.T. figure to my collection. NECA did a good job with this figure, including accessories representing key moments from the movie. The Speak & Spell is an actual representation of the 70s tech most of us had as kids. We didn't need no stinking I-Pads. Speak & Spell and Wooly Willie were our tablets. Someone needs to release a life size replica of these flowers. I'd buy!  My only gripe, and it's a small one, is the generic peanut butter Reese's Pieces.  Here's E.T. next to 6 inch Star Wars Black figures of Han Solo and Chewbacca. Stay tuned to 2 Minute Toy Break to catch my  next couple of posts which will feature some of my most recent comic book pick ups and more action figures!
