What's with the G.I. Joe franchise and why Isn't Hasbro doing something about It?It's crazy because with all the advancements In our military ,amazing technology and possible real world tie- ins ,you would think they'd have enough fodder to be able to spit out G.I. Joe films on a yearly basis.Heck, I'd even settle for a Netflix series ala Agents of Shield.Give us something,Hasbro.Something! Anybody else think Marvel films have become a little too comedy heavy?Yeah,the writing Is great.So are most of the jokes.But,not every character In the Marvel Universe has a sense of humor .While I'm not the biggest fan of FOX's line of X-Men films,I can appreciate the seriousness about them. Speaking of Marvel and Hasbro,where are the 3 3/4 figures?It seems like It will only be Marvel Legends 6 inch figures and larger from here on out.That sucks,too,because I really wanted a 3 3/4 Beyonder figure for my collection. That's It for this...
G.I. Joe ROC - Snake Eyes
I remember seeing tons of this version of Snake Eyes on the pegs and on clearance.I never paid It any mind.I thought the head sculpt was a little wonky ,especially with the odd inclusion of a nose and mouth.And then something happened.They began disappearing from clearance aisles ,and ultimately from stores altogether.Of course,now I wanted one because that's just how It is isn't It ? Even still,lots of them began to show up on eBay, but so reasonably priced that yet again ,I passed.I thought,hey I can always pick one up at that price sometime down the road.Well,recently they've shot up In price a bit so naturally ,It was time to make my move before they became simply unattainable. If you ever feel the need to open up a quality action figure ,you can do a lot worst than a G.I. Joe ROC movie figure. When was the last time you opened up an action figure that included this much stuff!?! Newbie collectors probably don't know what this Is ,but what yo...
Spider-Man Fiercest Foes - Venom
I'll be revisiting some of my favorite figures these next couple of days ,starting with this here Venom.I had pretty much accepted the fact that I was never going to own a Venom figure.I came late to the Spider-Man Fiercest Foes party and every Venom figure on eBay and Amazon was selling for ridiculous amounts.Years later , while making a quick stop at Walgreens,I decided to check out the toy aisle.Walgreens overprices their action figures,and sometimes they'll warm the pegs long after whatever line their from disappears from department store shelves.After scanning past the usual suspects, a bunch of Dragon Ball Z,Walking Dead and Mortal Kombat figs,I spotted the bright Spider-Man Fiercest Foes cardbacks!And there was Venom!He was still overpriced at $13.99 but cheaper than the $25.00 they were asking for on eBay and Amazon. I brought It home,thinking I had the perfect Venom action figure,only to be let down after taking him out of th...
