It’s amazing how an action figure from 1984 that has a thick piece of rubber holding it’s legs to it’s waist and more moving parts than a radio can survive 26 years in such great condition.

Roboto from Masters of the Universe or He-Man as most of us called it back in the day; is the original with 1984 molded on the back of his head.

Roboto’s joints–legs, arms, neck and waist are all tight and appear as new out of the box. His three weapons, the axe, laser and pincer are all perfect and fit tight to his right arm …

You’d think Cobra and his goons were bad guys but it’s just a silly conspiracy.  In reality, they just want to make our lives better.  Don’t believe me?  Check out the vid:

Nice touch on the apple at the end.  I think this teaser was meant for adults more than for kids.  Kids will just get confused who the bad guys reall are.

G.I. Joe Renegades airs every Friday on Hub at 5:oo P.M.…

Hot Toys has just released a teaser pic for a 1/6th version of Spidey.  It’s from the third movie but overall, his costume looked the same for all 3 movies so it doesn’t really matter which Spider-Man movie it’s based from.  Expect to pay around $150 -$175 for the figure.

One of the easiest figures to acquire in the new line of G.I. Joe action figures is Zartan. A totally classic and popular figure, Zartan comes with an amazing amount of accessories.

The standard build of Zartan includes a removable “poncho” which reveals his hairless head. With the ever classic face paint. Zartan has an interchangeable head which comes with goggles. Zartan’s “poncho” can them be changed out for a vest which allows him to become a totally different character, not just him with a different face.

Included with Zartan are a shoulder bag to hold the alternate head (which is …

Originally issued at a convention in 3 different variations, King Grayskull returned to shelves for a little more than a day on Mattycollector.com.

The figures offered at the convention were a standard full color King with the He-Man accessories of a shield, ax and sword. He also included a cape and was packaged in a Castle Grayskull box. The variants were one in translucent blue, the ghost version and a bronze statue version. I always prefer the standard full color and detail over the odd variants.

The new figure in Classic’s packaging includes a shield, a orb of power, a flocked …

Mattycollector.com’s featured figure of the month of November is Grizzlor! The ferocious figure with fur is back with actual brown fur over a highly detailed and articulated body.

The standard Horde crossbow is just the beginning, this furry bastard comes with a machete, sword and ax. His weapons can then be mounted to the back of his armor to keep it all together.

The figure I received was …

G.I. Joe is back after the 2009 movie series of action figures. Now, the Joes and Cobra are more realistic, nastier looking and have amazing detail and loads of accessories!

If you are looking for Cobra Commander, don’t bother, it’s impossible to get, so Ebay should have it for 10 times the price. The Commander is cool, but all he really is, is a repaint from the movie figure with a chromed head.

However, the Jungle Viper or better version of the Night Viper is slightly easier to acquire. This Viper is also cooler than any figure that has been produced …

If I was held at gunpoint for some insane reason and asked who my favorite Transformers character is I’d choose Soundwave.

As Megatron’s right hand bot, the Soundwave of the 80’s was a mini tape deck that implored the use of micro cassette soldiers to do his dirty work. Sending the thugs Rumble and Frenzy along with his falcons Laserbeak and Buzzsaw–followed by Ravage the panther and Ratbat…the rat bat–was what made him cooler than the Megatron P38 pistol and all of the seeker jets combined.

Over the years Soundwave came in many different incarnations including a jet, satellite and currently …
