Where's Your Spirit?!?

We'll, in my case, the clearance section! Strolling down my local Walmart's toy aisle the other day, nothing really great caught my eye. I always check the usuals, Marvel, Transformers, first. Then it's on to the MOTU section where I spend a little extra time as, out of the three, it's the line I've been enjoying the most. You would think GI Joe would be first on this list and they would be if I could ever find any related product. Most of the time I don't even bother looking for it due to scalpers eradicating any and all hopes of me finding anything with the name GI Joe on it. Good thing Spirit is an expert stealth survivalist as he was able to escape the slimy  clutches of multiple, slimy toy resellers and make his way onto the clearance shelves where I would ultimately make contact and go in for the rescue! Spirit is safe now and will be reunited with the rest of his Joe team when I finally get moved into my new place this coming Saturday👍

    My Spirit was lost on a suicide mission known as Pre-Order Hell. He now rests peacefully in the Graveyard of Cancellation with the remaining Joes (and Cobras) who went on that mission.

    Fack, that sucks, man! I come across one maybe once a month and pick them off as I see them.

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.

Recent Pick Up!

My last "Merry Christmas To Me" post was going to be of Marvel Legends Spider-Man animated cartoon series figure that I thought I was getting a great deal on. It turns out the figure was a bootleg. $30 down the drain and a fake Spider Man figure in the trash. I didn't even bother trying to get a refund from the seller. I'll chalk it up to a loss and keep it moving. So today I figured I'd  treat myself to something dope in the toy aisles at my local Walmart and found this!  I'm not sure if this is a reissue or what but It was the last one on the pegs and so I grabbed it. Now I can't get that damned theme song out of my head.
