1992 Eco Striker

Posted on November 28, 2023 by Nekoman

1992 Eco Striker 1991 was probably the worst year of Joe vehicles ever made, though 1992 wasn’t far off, mainly for continuing a lot of the gimmicks that didn’t really work out from the year before. That includes paper gliders … Continue reading →

Funskool T.A.R.G.A.T.

Posted on November 20, 2023 by Nekoman

Funskool T.A.R.G.A.T. So as I mentioned before I’m a big fan of the T.A.R.G.A.T. (or as I refer to him henceforth as the TARGAT). He features fun elements from the Alley Viper (flip down visor), he’s basically an astronaut, who’s … Continue reading →

2004 Black Dragon Ninja

Posted on October 24, 2023 by Nekoman

2004 Black Dragon Ninja The Ninja Cobra Strike Team set from 2004 should’ve probably been Hasbro’s second best 6-pack from the era. Sadly though, poor mold choices, bad accessories and most of all, absolute shit quality control takes what should … Continue reading →

1998 Heavy Duty

Posted on October 16, 2023 by Nekoman

1998 Heavy Duty The 1998 Joe line was small, but probably the best collection of post-1994 repaints ever made. The decos were elaborate and good looking on every figure released in the year, although that amounted to only a set … Continue reading →

2007 Lt. Clay Moore

Posted on October 9, 2023 by Nekoman

2007 Lt. Clay Moore Tank shenanigans aside, the best convention set ever made was probably the 2007 “Tanks for the Memories” set. I say that, because most of the convention sets strike me as boring retreads of old molds and … Continue reading →

1987 Dreadnok Cycle

Posted on October 2, 2023 by Nekoman

1988 Spearhead & Max

Posted on September 25, 2023 by Nekoman

1988 Spearhead & Max I’ve not put enough time lately into writing and taking photos. Part of that is because I’ve been going through tubs of childhood toys looking for lost vehicle parts, and usually finding everything except the one … Continue reading →
