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
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.
Hope you end up finding a Man at Arms in the wild.
ReplyDeleteMe too, Fuji. I'm also looking forward to other figures in the line.
DeleteWhat is it? (Besides Orko) - Looks like a robot underneath.
ReplyDeleteHa ha! Yeah hes like a robot vessel for Orko. It's kind of wierd. Kinda like Orko was downloaded into the robot shell.
DeleteStill trying to find these in the wild for me and my kids! All we can find around here is He-Man and Skeletor. Nice find & congrats!
ReplyDeleteThanks Spyda! It's hit or miss out here. I'm kind of digging the larger scaled figures, too.
ReplyDelete...THIS is the one I'm after! Want to use him in my MOTU Origins display!
