Summit City Comic Con Spotlight – Michael Schwartz
I thought I’d do something a little different this year, and give some of the talented folks a bit of a shout out. To start this series off, I thought I’d spotlight Michael Scwartz. Michael is pretty cool dude and is the creator of Oceanverse. Oceanverse, to quote the website, “chronicles the adventures of Clayton Hemmings […]
HISS Driver (Vintage)
Last time I checked out the vintage Cobra HISS Tank. So it seems pretty obvious this time I’d review the HISS Driver. I don’t really recall this guy showing up much in the animated series or comic book. I’m sure he was in there somewhere, I just can’t recall it. Appearance: Well, he looks like a […]
Cobra H.I.S.S. (Vintage)
As one of the first Cobra vehicles, the H.I.S.S. tank has earned a spot in most GI Joe fans hearts. The iconic battlefield conveyance of “The Enemy” has remained relatively unchanged until it’s recent redesign. In theory, it’s name translates to HIgh Speed Sentry. In reality, it was a stylized tank for Cobra to motor […]
Captain America (Super Combat)
Captain America might be the movie I’m most excited to see this year. I just hope we get some action figure goodness out of it. Yeah, I know Thor and Green Lantern are out. And I know Transformers is out. I just happen to like World War II stuff. And World War II stuff with […]
Name That…Shadow in Boots
Okay, I admit it. I just watched the teaser trailer for Puss in Boots. This is not him.
Coil Con – Coming Soon!
Since new Joe figures are few and far between these days, I thought I’d use this week’s Joe Wednesday to give a shout out to Coil Con. Coil Con is a Midwest GI Joe swap meet. The cool thing is that it’s happening here in my state of Indiana, which is pretty darn cool if you […]
Name That…Robo Boxer
What we have here appears to be some sort of robotic spring loaded boxing glove punching accessory.
Name That…Helmet
This might be from the new line of “Sons of Anarchy” figures. Then again, maybe not.
War Machine (Mega Bloks)
I have to say as a character, I know very little of War Machine other than what I saw in Iron Man 2. However, that hasn’t seemed to keep from latching on to him as my Iron Man armor of choice. I got very lucky with this one. There was one open empty bag when […]
Salacious Crumb (Star Wars Buddies)
Last week I checked out what may be the best representation from the “Star Wars Buddies” first wave. This time I’m looking at one that is less than perfect, Salacious Crumb. Jabba’s little cackling pet has his fans, and I’m sure some folks love him,though. Let me get this out of the way. I think […]
Spiderman (Mega Bloks)
Thanks to Jestergoblin, I now am developing a bigger interest in minifigures. I have to say the little blind bagged Lego figures are just darn fun. When I saw the Marvel Megabloks single blind bags, I figured I’d take a chance. The first figure I happened to get was a plain Spiderman. It doesn’t get […]
