Posted on July 24, 2024 by Nekoman

2016 TBM Cobra Trooper (Tiger Force) The Black Major got famous for making figures everyone wanted and never got from Hasbro, like environment specific Troopers. Over time though, that got stale, and he eventually branched out into more oddball designs … Continue reading →

1997 Gung-Ho

Posted on July 10, 2024 by Nekoman

1997 Gung-Ho I think I’ve mentioned before I’m not a huge Gung-Ho fan. I probably should be, as whatever complexes I have about shiftless hill billies aside, he’s a pretty perfect fit for GI Joe’s Vietnam War inspired visuals. Hasbro … Continue reading →

1985 Rifle Range A lost feature among modern action figures is the world building brought by small items like the Battle Field Accessories. These come across as being somewhere in between model accessories you might see Tamiya selling in 1/35, … Continue reading →

1993 Beach-Head

Posted on June 19, 2024 by Nekoman

1993 Beach-Head I’ve always seen a lot of folks react pretty harshly to Beah-Head V2, and to be honest, I really don’t know why. 90‘s Joe had a lot of drastic redesigns, many of which I’m yet to have fully … Continue reading →

2003 Agent Faces

Posted on June 12, 2024 by Nekoman

2003 Agent Faces I don’t really understand the fascination collectoys used to have with mail-away figures. To my understanding, the Agent Faces mail-away was well done and met with a great amount of collector enthusiasm. I wouldn’t really know since … Continue reading →

1991 Cesspool

Posted on June 5, 2024 by Nekoman

1991 Cesspool I’d argue that the named Cobras of the 90‘s are right up there with the greats of 1984, or at least very close in quality. To me, Cesspool and Interrogator are easily on par with Copperhead and Wild … Continue reading →

Posted on May 29, 2024 by Nekoman

1983 Action Force Shadowtrak I realized that by coincidence, every toy I’ve posted about for the last month has been red. Not intentionally, but just something that happened. So to cap off May, I’ll finally get around to a post … Continue reading →

1993 M. Bison

Posted on May 23, 2024 by Nekoman

1993 M. Bison I was reflecting on my early childhood with GI Joe a bit ago, trying to actually recall why I like these toys so much. Being born in 1994 means I didn’t crawl this earth until GI Joe … Continue reading →

1985 Bazooka

Posted on May 15, 2024 by Nekoman

1985 Bazooka Bazooka is a character I almost entirely associate with the cartoon, which I think is probably a common notion. For me, it’s partly because I’ve still not read the comic issues he would appear in, but I don’t … Continue reading →

2017 Red Shadows Star Duster (TBM)

Posted on May 8, 2024 by Nekoman

2017 Red Shadows Star Duster (TBM) Sometimes I feel like the staying-power of a TBM figure is dependent on how “needed” the given figure was. Over the years a lot of them have blended together and I can barely even … Continue reading →
