Marauder Shotgun, Sniper Rife & Knife
This week I’m taking a look at a few Zombie Viper killing accessories for your GI Joe team.
Airtight
I wasn’t a huge fan of the Airtight back in the day. But then again, it was different world. If anything, his role has become more relevant in a world where bio terrorism seems much more likely that nuclear Armageddon. Appearance: Airtight probably had the fewest alterations for his Renegades modernization. It makes sense, safety […]
Mr. Fantastic (Mega Bloks)
I’ve said it before, I’m not a huge Fantastic Four fan. I wasn’t trying to get Mr. Fantastic, but the I couldn’t figure out what the gun thing was in the darn package. Appearance: I’m sure this is based on a more modern comic book appearance that the ones I’m familiar with. Essentially, except for […]
Zombie Viper
With the current zombie trend in a variety of media, a zombie GI Joe figure was probably inevitable. That he ends up on the Cobra side of the fence, isn’t a huge stretch. Following with a theme of bio-terrorism in the 30th Anniversary line, the Zombie Viper fills a role that a large terrorist would […]
Marvel Legends Thor, Hope, & Steve Rogers At Planned Banter
Sure Planned Banter is a great podcast. They are like younger brothers I never had, except into stuff that I like. But, Richard has been posting some really great action figure reviews on the site. If you are podcast subscriber, you might be missing this. I wanted to take the time to point out his […]
Quail Drone Mail Away
I’ve said it before, I use to love mail aways. I thought I’d take a look at a fairly rare one today that was only available for a limited time with a fairly limited vehicle, the Falcon Glider. Only a few of the initial packages for the Falcon Glider contained the offer for the Quail […]
Rebel Soldier (Hoth Battle Gear)
After seeing Errex’s review of the modern updated of the Hoth Rebel Trooper, I thought it would be cool to take a look back at the vintage one. The Rebel Soldier was released as one of the first 10 figures from the Empire Strikes Back. He the first generic “good guy” in the vintage Star […]
Hazard Viper
Handling dangerous chemicals can be fun. I’m sure that’s how the Hazard Viper recruiting poster reads. The Hazard Viper is obviously a troop engaged in chemical or biological warfare for Cobra. It’s actually pretty cool they went more real world with him than fantasy. Appearance: The HV is essentially a guy in chemical suit. And […]
Magneto (Mega Bloks)
I have to admit Magneto wasn’t the figure I was going for when I picked him. I was trying for Silver Surfer. I didn’t realize Magneto had a cape and thought it was the surf board. Appearance: Magneto is one of those characters I’ve never quite understood the look of. Sometimes he’s really ripped and […]
