New 2 packs showing up at retail

Seems the walmart exclusive 2 packs are popping up all over the east coast! Happy Hunting, I think the resolute Gung ho looks pretty awesome and if you didnt snag the Cobra 7 pack then the 2 pack with shockblast and night creeper is a sweet way to score one of them.

GIJoe Rise of Cobra Review!

NO SPOILERS IN MY REVIEW, PLEASE DONT LEAVE SPOILER POSTS EITHER

In a word, awesome! I have been one of the few who has always voiced that it would be great and I think I was right! Went and saw it last night at 12:05 and it was truly fantastic. Once it hits with the action it does not stop and it does it all very well. A few iffy CGI moments(including the repelling in the snow shot that is in the trailer, why they used it in the ad I dont know). The story of many of the main characters is totally new but I could care less, if I wanted GIJoe from 1985 I would watch the OG cartoon, this new take on the characters to me was great! They did change some things about Snake Eyes' past which many may not like but I didnt mind much. Had a few big Reveals that were pretty cool. The underwater scenes are amazing, the accelerator suits are done VERY well and are basically a good excuse to destroy everything between the good guys and the bad, cars, trains, buildings, it doesnt matter, its going down. The movie was really great and all the actors(save Tatum and Quid maybe) did a great job. My audience loved it as well, everyone clapped, many cheered. Go see it!

If I wasnt a Joe fan, 85% since I am...
93% Great action, great fun, good plot, lots of explosions and ninja fights, descent acting, and a HUGE budget!

7 Packs- Quick Review

Just wanted to let yall know what I think of the new 7 pack figures, I actually typed this out as an email for a buddy but I figured my readers might find the quick impressions list useful so here it goes...

Chuckles-Heads to big, cant do the gimp hand, cool gun
Rip Cord- Great figure, needs a head swap that will sit higher on the neck and not be so ugly
Outback- Heads too high, great Chuck Norris head, head is an amazing sculpt
Zap-fantastic, puts the OG to shame, needs his helmet glued down
Recondo- needs his elbows xactoed so he can bend arms 90 degrees, hat needs to be glued down
Wet Suit- Hoses need to be glued, great figure
Hit&Run- New legs make a big difference, really great figure, Ill glue his helmet down but most people wont mind it

Mindbender- hes alright, I grew up loving the yellow/purple 90s version
Range Viper- Surprisingly amazing! he is my favorite, great articulation, great weapons, helmet works perfectly
Alley Viper- Not liking the 2 tone blue, dont like that his helmet gets pushed off by his vest... I think I might glue it down, Dont like that he cant hold his shield well(Although it does bring back memories from the OG lol) crossbow wont stay on backpack
lamprey- Surprisingly awesome I will glue the face mask down and paint it silver then he will be a favorite of mine.
BAT- backpack and body damaged head are sweet other than that nothing new, hes missing the black wash over the metal areas.
Strato Viper- One of my favorite OG figures, love the update. I will lower his head a lil bit
Night Creeper- Amazing! love him. OG is another favorite. Love the sword and bow. I will hollow out his hood and lower it so that it rests on top of his goggles.

Packaging- AMAZING! I was amazed at how awesome they looked lined up in the packaging, might be the first toy I have ever been tempted to keep MOC for a day or two.

Resolute Snake Eyes Custom 7inch Figure!

Enjoy! Oh and by the way 80 bucks worth of GIJoe will be on my door step on the 21st so expect reviews of 7 pack figures!

Sorry Things are So Boring Around Here Lately...

Fact is there is NO new GIJoe product on the shelves.... New Alley Viper figure shots are coming in but they still arent on any pegs... When things heat up with the movie expect lots of posts!

Dusty, how he should have been!

I reviewed the Dusty figure recently and told yall I would make a repaint and that he would be epic, well that day has come my friends! This is actually the first time I have remade a classic figure to be more like its OG counterpart, generally I just create random stuff that I think looks cool. You will see that that idea kinda carried over into this figure when I added knee pads to him to make him look cooler. Dusty was my absolute favorite toy when I was a little and I was very disapointed with the remake of him because it did very little for me nostalgically so I remade him. I like that I did the paint over his eye so dont tell me it makes his face less defined :-)

Recipe:
Head-Hawk
Body-Dusty
Knee Pads-Sculpted

Please let me know what you think of him, thanks and enjoy!

PS. Ignore my pitiful original Dusty, his feelings are easily hurt.

New Movie Trailer!

This trailer was supposed to air at the opening of the new Star Trek movie but it has already hit in France(hints the subs) so here it is a little early!!!



Looks awesome too me. I think it will be a fun movie, looks like they have the budget to pull off the accelerator suits which is very comforting! If nothing else this movie will make some new fans and flood the toy isle with new toys. Hopefully Kids will love them and I will be forced to take a variant figure from a 6 year olds mini hands as he screams for his mom.... well.... maybe I went a lil too far,what I meant to say was hopefully kids will buy up these toys and earn us another movie and a longer toy lifespan.
