Cobra Commander (Dollar General)
I’ve documented how I no longer have my vintage mail away Cobra Commander. So it’s no surprise this black suited CC that was part of the Dollar General series appealed to me. Appearance: I’ve always seen the hooded version of Cobra Commander as a more ceremonial version. He’s not going to wear that hood just […]
Cordicon Reviews Dollar General GI Joes
I’ve not managed to snag any of the dollar store GI Joe figures yet. Not for lack of trying, mind you. One person that has is Cordicon from Twitter. He’s a YouTube reviewer, so I thought I’d link to his reviews in case you were wanting to see what the fuss is about. Honestly, I’ve […]
Batman (Caped Crusader)
For a long time, I’ve avoided buying Batman figures. Most are done in either an animated style or in a scale other than 3 3/4″. I don’t have anything against other scales, just really wanted a Dark Knight that could stand among GI Joe, Hellboy, and Marvel movie figures and not look out of place. […]

SCCC Artist Spotlight: Robert Atkins
I had heard about Robert Atkins on the What’s on Joe Mind? Podcast. I knew he was a GI Joe artist. So I was very excited to hear he was coming to our local Summit City Comic Con here in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I actually had a TVFT table, so I didn’t get as much […]
Marauder “Modular” M4 Rifle
While it would be incredibly boring, it would make sense for GI Joe figure to all come with essentially the same weapons. Don’t get me wrong, I love all the variation we get. I don’t want that to change. To fill a squad type need, I ordered a couple of the Modular style M4 Rifles […]
Name That…Wrought Iron
This thing looks like a piece of wrought iron you would find in a flower garden.
Marvel Eraseez
I fear I’m developing a love for blind bagged items. I don’t really know why, they’ve typically frustrated me in the past. However, they reeled me in when I saw the Marvel Eraseez. I blame Avengers’ hype. So what is in those Eraseez packages? There are two small rubber figures that come in pieces. Ironically, […]
A Cobra Named Joe
Yeah. I know it’s not a review. But I wanted to give it shot. I had some much fun with the Springfield Speaks contest, I wanted to generate a storyline with it. So, I’m introducing the misadventures of a Cobra Named Joe. This poor guy gets it from everybody. If you want to see more […]
Marauder Money Case
This is a quick one. I wanted to share another Marauder item. This one is part of their “Mission Cases” line, the Currency case. It’s exactly what you would think it is. A small opening and closing brief case with money in it. The money is printed on a small piece of card stock and […]
