Joe Con 2013: Custom Figures
I started with the dioramas because they are a personal favorite. However, there was just as much talent on display in the custom figure competition. This was actually in the diorama category, I just forgot to put it over there. I dig astronauts, so this 12″ Joe was fun for me to see. […]

Joe Con 2013: Diorama Contest
I was completely blown away at the quality of dioramas on display at Joe Con 2013. You can tell the folks that put these together are passionate about their hobby for sure. I could have spent all day looking at just these and probably not seen all the cool details. I had to include […]
Name That…Floppy Hat
This is not from a wrestling figure. I’m actually not sure this character ever wore a hat to be honest.
Name That…The Letter H
Today’s Name That is brought to you by the letter H. If you don’t get that, you have my sympathy.
Name That…Robe Dude
If I just got out of the shower and answered the door in a robe. I’d looks like this shadow. Good thing I don’t answer the door or own a robe.
Name That…Brass Nipple
I liked the title because its sounded like the name of a really rough pirate type bar.

Blind Bag Star Wars Angry Birds
I’d never gave Angry Birds a second thought. I’d seen screen shots. I understood what it was. I just didn’t have interest. It didn’t help that it was way over merchandised. Including the slew of stuff that was released to coincide with the Space and Star Wars releases. What changed you may ask? My mom. […]

Rock & Roll (GI Joe Kreo)
I know everybody wanted GI Joe Lego. A quick image search will yield a number of custom creations out there. However, Hasbro wouldn’t want to license somebody to do that when they have their own Kreo building block line. I want to say up front the character choice show this line was created by fans of the […]
