Snow Serpent (Cobra)
I’ve always loved cold weather action figures. It might have something to do with the fact that I grew up above the “Brigde” in Michigan. Living on Lake Superior, I saw my share of snow. That’s probably why I could relate to figure like the Hoth Han Solo and the original Snowjob. A setting of […]
Cobra Trooper
This is a bit strange, I’ve never reviewed a repaint of a figure that I’ve reviewed before. But here we go. This version is carded as Cobra Infantry. The original figure I reviewed was more in line with the vintage line, calling the figure Cobra (The Enemy). You can read that review here. Appearance: Why […]
Heavy Duty (Reactive Impact Armor)
Heavy Duty another character from Collection 2 Wave 2 of the G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra toy line. In the movie Heavy Duty serves as the heavy weapons specialist for G.I. Joe Team Alpha. The actor who portrayed the character is Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, better known as Mr. Eko, from the Lost TV Series.
Shipwreck GI Joe Rise of Cobra
Shipwreck is one of the characters I was really surprised didn’t make the cut for GI Joe: Rise of Cobra. His snarky attitude made him a fan favorite in the animated and comic book versions of Joe. (Flash was the other one I was expecting to see in action in the film.) While the vintage […]
Rex “The Doctor” Lewis
Ever since Episode One of Star Wars came out, I’ve made an effort to avoid as many spoilers for a film as I can without going out of my way. I really wanted to like “GI Joe: Rise of Cobra” before I saw it. But I had my doubts. As such, I really didn’t get […]
Armored Panther w/Sgt. Thunderblast
Normally the amount of suspension of disbelief required for me to accept the existence of an attack helicopter the size of a compact car proves too much, but, What about tanks the size of compact cars?…
Snake Eyes (Paris Pursuit)
Snake Eyes (Paris Pursuit) is arguably among the coolest figures from the movie line, even though if it’s not the most pose-able of the bunch, and it succeeds in providing a refreshing new look for the character.
Errex Score: 95/100
Conrad “Duke” Hauser (Reactive Impact Armor)
After getting the previous version of Duke (the Desert Ambush version), I was not too interested on picking up this one too, but after seeing it in person, I decided to take the plunge and get it.
Storm Shadow (Paris Pursuit)
Hasbro released the Storm Shadow (Paris Pursuit) figure in 2009 as part of the second wave of figures from the G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra line, based on the appearance of the character in the motion picture of the same name.
Cobra Elite Viper
As of this writing, I haven’t watched “GI Joe: Rise of Cobra” yet. I will, I just haven’t had a chance yet. Overall, the movie line of GI Joe figures has grown on me. However, the nearest Wal-Mart reduced their prices on the standard figures to $6. That makes me like them a whole lot […]
Conrad “Duke” Hauser (Desert Ambush)
I’m really excited to introduce this guest review. Errex is a long time TVFT forum contributor with a pretty extensive collection. Kicking off what I hope will be a great series of reviews, Errex is showing off the Desert Ambush Duke from GI Joe: Rise of Cobra. Take it away: Right off the bat, I […]
GI Joe Pit Commando
If you have read any of my other GI Joe reviews, you would know I’m a sucker for accessories. Frequently, my selection revolves around how full a blister is rather that the exact Joe character. Stalker was a cool dude, but a single rifle on the card didn’t appeal to me. The Baroness figure from […]
Baroness – GI Joe: Rise of Cobra
Normally, collectibles on this site are based on films and TV shows. This summer we are getting a big screen version of GI Joe. The film version is based on the Real American Hero (RAH) animated series from the early eighties. That series was based on Hasbro’s line of action figures. And you know there […]
SEAL (Codename: Torpedo)
With GI Joe figures flying off shelves across the country, I was inspired to go back and dust of my meager collection of vintage Joes. And I do mean meager, I’ve got less than a dozen of the vintage soldiers. And considering that against the number of RAH figures out there, it’s very small.I have to say though, the […]
GI Joe 25th Anniversary Torpedo
Alright. I recently did a Retro Review for the Vintage GI Joe Navy Seal Codename: Torpedo. With the advent of the 25th Anniversary Joes, I had a plan. I was only going to get figures I didn’t have the vintage version of to help limit myself. To be honest, I wasn’t real impressed with the first few I saw. I passed […]
Cobra (The Enemy)
Back to Eighties again.Not that I mind.This time it’s for the 25th Anniversary of GI Joe A Real American Hero (RAH). I can still remember the first of the small Joes that I ever saw. A kid in grade school pulled a straight arm Grunt out of his coat pocket and said, “Check this out!”I […]
G.I. Joe Weather Dominator DVD Battle Pack
GI Joe was one of the biggest of the Eighties toy line cross overs into animation. It frequently featured the new heroes and villains as their toys reached the shelves. The vehicles were represented as well. For a number of Joe fans it’s hard to say whether it was the comic book, figures or cartoon […]
