Recent Pick Ups


Just when I thought all was lost and the prospect of toy hunting was becoming  more daunting than the actual hunt , this happened! I'll be looking at both figures more closely in the next couple of days. Also, stay tuned for my Marvel Legends Retro fig opening post😉

    That's the same Predator figure that I got a couple of months ago, I never did see the other two on the shelves. It's funny too, I went to Walmart this morning and it looked like they had just put out a bunch of the Classified figures. I haven't bought a modern Joe in probably close to 20 years, and yet, I couldn't walk away without grabbing the only Cobra Commander that was out -- it just looked so damn cool!

      Good call on the C.C. figure. For a minute Lanard Predator figures were just as hard to find as Classified Joe's were. Glad I was able to finally find one!

    That Predator looks awesome. Is it from Lanard? I think they got the Alien/Predator license for Walmart.

    He's great Jigs! Yeah, Lanard's been kicking some serious butt with their latest Alien and Predator lines. I've been playing with my figure for a few minutes now and already love it.

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.
