2005 Major Barrage

Posted on August 7, 2023 by Nekoman

2005 Major Barrage The “New Sculpt” era of Joes is not remembered by a whole lot of people. I attribute that mostly to botched marketing, which also led to them not really reaching kids all that much. It’s sad that … Continue reading →

2005 Cobra Night Watch Trooper

Posted on November 29, 2022 by Nekoman

2005 Firefly

Posted on June 13, 2022 by Nekoman

2005 Serpentor

Posted on June 1, 2021 by Nekoman

2005 Serpentor The 2000‘s comic packs did a lot more wrong than they did right, but that was not always the case, such as with the #49 set. The reason this set’s so nice, is because you got arguably the … Continue reading →

2005 Storm Shadow (Comic Pack)

Posted on February 9, 2021 by Nekoman

2005 Storm Shadow (Comic Pack) In modern times, I have mixed feelings about the 2000‘s comic pack figures. Most of them were not very good, and they had all the negative hallmarks you’d expect from a post-’94 figure. Yet, compared … Continue reading →

Posted on April 27, 2020 by Nekoman

2005 Scrap Iron (Comic Pack) During the 2005 Comic Pack line, it was a rare day when you saw a set that featured three good figures. More of the time, you’d get one or two good figures, and one figure … Continue reading →

2005 Frostbite (Valor vs Venom)

Posted on February 10, 2020 by Nekoman

2005 Frostbite Normally, I might’ve not thought to write about a figure this odd from the New-Sculpt era, but, a brief and sudden snowstorm gave me an opportunity to explore him for a bit to take some snow photos before … Continue reading →

Posted on September 17, 2019 by Nekoman

2005 Lonzo R Wilkinson The Comic Packs from the mid 2000‘s really got a lot wrong, which is probably why they floundered so hard at retail. Many of the set’s and especially the early sets were an endless sea of … Continue reading →

2005 Range Viper

Posted on September 9, 2019 by Nekoman

2005 Range Viper It’s probably a fair statement to say that relatively few people miss the “New Sculpt” era and construction from 2002 to ‘06, but that doesn’t mean some genuinely good toys weren’t made during the period. Hasbro’s Direct … Continue reading →
