Other Toy Lines / Modular Armored Range Vehicle - a 1:18 scale vehicle project launching in 2018

« on: August 22, 2018, 11:39 PM »

Hey all! I wanted to share a project I have been working on this year: the Modular Armored Range Vehicle. The MARV is a 1:18 scale vehicle designed for use with 3.75"-4" action figures. A highly detailed military base model will be offered, along with various add-on part kits to upgrade the MARV for different missions and adventures. Look for the MARV to launch on Kickstarter in Fall 2018.

Here are some brand new photos of the recently completed prototype:

Please follow along on Facebook and Instagram for the latest updates as well as all behind-the-scenes development images:

Vintage Trading and Classifieds / WTB: loose Yoda figure

« on: December 5, 2014, 02:04 PM »

I'm looking to buy a loose Yoda figure for one of my cousins as a Christmas gift. He isn't a collector, so condition doesn't have to be perfect. Ideally I'm looking for a figure with minimal paint wear on the face area that includes the cloak and cane for around $15, but there may be a little wiggle room in my budget for a more complete and/or better condition figure. Please PM me if you can help... thanks!

Joe Defender / Upcoming GI Joe?

« on: October 30, 2013, 08:53 PM »

I found some possible upcoming (or cancelled

) Joe goodies while browsing the Hasbro Customer Service page today.

Notable listings (to me) were the following:

GIJ Ultimate Gift Set
GIJ Vehicle Collection Air
GIJ Zombie Apocalypse sets
GIJ VAMP Mark 2

GIJ Combat Vehicle Land
GIJ Combat Vehicle Sea

GIJ Desert Spec Ops Team

I'm really hoping this is an indication of what to expect for any sort of 50th Anniversary line next year, especially the zombie listings.

The Bullpen / Guardians of the Galaxy

« on: October 30, 2013, 03:20 PM »

I found a whole bunch of Guardians of the Galaxy listings on Hasbro's Customer Service page. It appears the movie will be getting a fairly large toy line with all of the usual figures, vehicles, and role-play stuff. Here are screen-caps of the listings:

I'm guessing most of these items will be on display at Toy Fair next year. Unfortunately only a handful of the listings have size/scale information, but hopefully the figures and spaceships will be 3.75".

The Black Series 3.75" / Upcoming or unreleased Black Series items?

« on: October 30, 2013, 03:02 PM »

Apologies in advance for this pic-heavy post. I found a bunch of interesting Star Wars listings on Hasbro's Customer Service page. Here are screen shots:

There is a mix of unknown and revealed/available listings above. I have no idea if the unknown listings are for upcoming Black Series products or cancelled AOTC/ROTS 3D items. They seem like recent listings based on numbering (A####).

Joe Defender / Pursuit of Cobra Wave 4 Review

« on: January 21, 2011, 08:09 AM »

Just thought I'd share my mini-review of the newest G.I. Joe figures. I apologize for the crappy pics. Enjoy!

Destro:
Alright, so this is easily one of the better versions of Destro out there. Granted, the only others that I've handled were from the 25th Box set and the POC Mr. Freeze figure, so I don't have a lot of modern era Destro knowledge. But still, this is a version of the arms dealer that looks ready to protect his investments or ensure that his clients provide payment. The gatling gun mounts to his belt, he has a pistol with holster, and removable shin and shoulder armor. It's a bit of a bummer that the Aliens steady gun wasn't included, but that doesn't detract from the figure. Hopefully we'll see that accessory at some point down the road.

Briefcase of Cash:
Yeah yeah, this is really an accessory, but I thought it deserved its own separate paragraph. It's a briefcase full of cash. It's ******* awesome. If you're on the fence with Destro, at least buy it for the case of money. It's totally worh it.

Skydive:
Probably the wort figure in the wave, but don't think for a minute that this figure is bad. The harness limits movement, especially leg articulation, but how much movement do you need for a guy that jumps out of planes? With all of the gear, you can get a good "freefall" pose, so the restrictions don't bother me too much. Once the gear is removed, the figure doesn't look as naked as some other Joes. It could've used a second harness and a machine gun, but I'm not complaining. The figure is surprisingly balanced, despite the large amount of gear.

Shadow Tracker:
Here's the "Predator" figure to compliment the previously released "Billy" and "Jesse Ventura" figures. The figure features a full range of articulation, including the ball hinged wrists. Even though he can't hold all of his weapons, you can store a decent amount on him. There is a hole on the lower portion of his jacket, a hole on his left thigh, and a sheath sculpted on his jacket for the small knife. The figure includes a compound bow*, quiver w/ arrow*, machete*, two crazy looking knives, one straight knife/sword w/ peg, bola w/ peg, spear, and a net. Unfortunately, I forgot to get a picture of all the accessories. Overall, it's a very cool figure and it's nice to get a new Cobra villain.

*weapons were also included with POC Spirit

Lowlight:
This is the figure that everyone appears to be waiting for, and I'd say it lives up to the hype. The accessories alone justify the purchase. The figure isn't bad either. Lowlight includes A LOT of stuff, but ALL OF IT can be stored. The rifle and scope can be packed into the duffle bag, and everything else can be packing into the backpack. The duffle can be plugged into the figure's back, and the backpack can plug into the duffle. Or the backpack can be plugged right into the figure. There is a lot to describe on the figure, but I'm feeling lazy right now. So, just get this figure and experience the awesomeness first hand. If you don't like it, I'm sure there will be plenty of people looking to buy them.

Some quick words of warning:

-The figure is hard to balance when the duffle and backpack are both plugged into the figure. Plus it looks goofy.

-The tiny bullet is very easy to lose. I'd recommend gluing it into the ammo box, or storing it in a ziploc baggie.

-The backpack included with my figure was fairly difficult to open. It's also an odd design, with the pack opening in the middle. The straps on the top portion and the pegs on the lower portion seem potentially fragile, so I would recommend some caution while opening and closing the backpack.

-The bipod for the rifle is meant to stay perpendicular to the rifle. I tried folding mine up, and it stretched out the clip on the rifle that holds it in place. So, don't make that same mistake.

Collections / My BMF BMF display

« on: December 28, 2010, 10:27 PM »

For my birthday and Christmas this year, my uncle helped me build a display case/functional table for my new BMF toy. By "helped", I mean he did most of the work. I did a bit of drilling and measuring. He is truly phenomenal at building stuff, so I'm very pleased with how this big mutha-******* Big Millenium Falcon (BMF BMF) display turned out. Here are some WIP pics. Tomorrow I prime the pieces, and later on I will paint it black and place a mirror on the bottom of the case.

Day 1: top portion, minus side plexi-glass and lights

Day 2: finished top portion, added bottom portion (removable legs, allowing the top portion to be a standalone coffee table or a heightened display), added LED lights in each corner

Modern Classifieds / W: Aayla Secura's goggles

Joe Defender / POC Quick Review: City Strike Figures

« on: August 3, 2010, 01:12 PM »

Alright, I have a quick review of the three POC Wave 1 "City Strike" themed figures, which are Beachhead, Firefly, and Alley-Viper. I'm not a hardcore Joe collector, but I have had a bunch of ROC and 25th Anniversary figures over the past few years... so I know some stuff.

Now, that main thing I have to say about these new figures is "Stuff, STUFF STUFF!!!" These new figures come packed with accessories. Guns, helmets, knives, random tools... each figure is loaded with cool stuff!

These figures have the full range of articulation that has been present since the start of the GI Joe 25th Anniversary line. I won't go into detail about the articulation, because if you're reading this post then you probably know a thing or two about Joe figures.

Alley-Viper is a repaint of the 2009 figure that was packed in the Defense of Cobra Island gift pack. Included are two small knives, a riot shield, night stick, assault rifle, two helmets, backpack, a (nonworking) grapple gun, and a gas mask. The figure has two working sheaths for the knives, and the backpack has a peg that the grapple gun is supposed to attach to. (Just a heads-up, that grapple gun doesn't stay attached for ****.)

Overall, I'd give the figure a 9/10. The only bad part is that the grapple gun doesn't stay attached to the backpack, but that's a minor gripe. The multiple helmets are great for adding diversity to an army or squad. Of course, good luck finding these guys... they seem to be almost as popular as the chase Cobra Commander.

Next up is Beachhead, which is probably my favorite toy from the whole assortment. The figure includes three assault rifles (one looks like a laser cannon or something), two sub-machine guns, a pistol, a knife, a pair of flippers, and a helmet/gas mask. The figure holds the sub-machine guns at an angle, and it looks somewhat funny. Other than that, all of the accessories work well with the figure.

Features include flippers that can attach to the figure's vest and two working sheaths (for one knife). The figure is very detailed, with many pouches and ammo magazines sculpted onto the vest. Each pouch has a painted buckle, and some sculpted grenades are "labeled." I don't know if any parts are re-used or if this is an all new figure. Whether it's new or repainted, this figure is awesome. I'm almost tempted to army build this guy. 9/10.

Lastly we have Firefly. Firefly comes with an assault rifle, two pistols, a backpack, two land mines/bombs, an alternate head, and a pair of armored gauntlets. The figure has a lot of the same details as Beachhead, such as sculpted grenades and ammo magazines on the vest. He has a gray camo pattern all over.

The coolest part about Firefly just might be the backpack. The backpack is huge, it opens, and the land mines can be attached to pegs on either side. Firefly's armored gauntlets can clip onto his forearms or attach to the back of his vest. Firefly also has an alternate, helmeted head. The head looks kinda stupid and too futuristic. It strikes me as a cross between a Predator mask and the aliens from Independence Day.

Firefly is a solid figure but it's kinda boring. The Alley-Viper is much cooler looking and is a better choice if you're looking for a COBRA figure. 7.5/10 for Firefly.

Overall, the Pursuit of Cobra line offers some great updates of classic characters. While the toys look very different from previous versions, you can still tell which character they are supposed to be. At $6.99 each, these figures are a good value and offer a decent amount of display/play/custom options.

Right now the line seems to be pretty hard to find. They are trickling into Targets and TRUs, and the Alley-Viper and Cobra Commander figures seem to be the first ones to sell. The way the line is being sold reminds me of the initial 25th Anniversary release, with figures only receiving a few pegs at each store and the bigger pieces being relatively easy to find.
