TMNT X GIJOE - Ripper x Bebop

This has been a fun line to collect. Quality figures at a reasonable price are hard to come by. TMNTXGIJOE checks all the boxes. Let's take a look at Ripper x Bebop! 

Bebop comes with Ripper's trademark Jaws of Life which always threw me for a loop considering the Dreadnoks weren't in the business of saving lives.  
But just in case 5,000 PSI isn't enough to put a scare into Joe x Turtle do-gooders everywhere, Ripper x Bebop also comes with a stowable machete 😊
It still trips me out to see Cobra insignias on TMNT figures, and what better spot for a giant Cobra tattoo than on Bebops wavy belly 😆
For comparison, here's Ripper x Bebop next to GIJoe Classified Ripper! 

That's pretty much the entire run of the individually released figures. More TMNT X GIJOE coming up! Stay tuned!

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...

TMNT X GIJOE - Shipwreck x Mikey

Image
This one's an odd pairing. Playmates chose to go with Shipwreck as Michelangelo's GIJoe alter ego. It looks good, I guess, but I probably would have gone with Quick Kick because of the nunchaku or Bazooka because of his goofiness in the cartoon. Either way it's still a great figure.  Mikey comes with some cool accessories. I love that they chose to go with a pigeon ( Pete) instead of a parrot for obvious reasons.  It's great when toy companies go the extra mile with the little things like using actual metal chains for Michelangelo's anchor ended nunchaku. Love that! Once again and sticking with the kid/ninja friendly anti - ballistics theme, Michelangelo comes with gag pistol complete with pizza flag on the end of the barrel.  The creative team must've had a blast designing this line. They get a lot right and very little gets lost in translation. Check out Mikey's...
