Transformers PART DUECE.

I Love Sound wave, he was my first Transformer as a kid, I got him used, and loved that toy, simple enough for me to transform from tape deck to robot, not like his friends who pissed me off. Below is a Transformer play figure, created from the same group that did the Star wars and super heroes, plus the GI Joes coming soon, these are made mostly for young kids, I got the two pack, he came with Bumble bee, which I gave to my friend Stacey who loves Bumble bee, and I kept sound wave, these don't move but are fun looking.


Below is my sound wave I snagged this weekend for my desk. This is from the new animated show, and I love this thing because laser beek is included and is pretty bad ass as a bird. It did take me having Stacey to transform it to robot for me the first time because I was about to break it... I am just plain old bad with these I admit it. I was a joe kid, Stick gun in hand, point shoot, miss said cobra... transforming these things was a recipe for a broken arm. sad I know. But Here he is in Souped up ghetto van to Gorilla looking robot. I have not yet watched the animated series but, by the looks of the figures, it looks pretty sweet!!!

HALO McFarlane Series 1.

One thing I can say about McFarlane is they know how to make a damn realistic Action Figure. Take for instance series 1 of the Halo figures. They are fantastic and with me almost all but done collecting toys, and selling my collections off, These are the only ones left to sit on my shelf when all is said and done. Below I have all of series 1 save for the bad guys who iwasn't to into getting. The Master Chief, The two Walmart exclusives Blue. The two red Spartans. The EB Games Steal Spartan and of course, the Comic store only exclusive The White Spartan, My Battle armor!!!!!!!!
Enjoy and be on the look out for series 2 which I just completed with the aid of my Ninja Bounty Hunter Boba Cox.

G.I Joe Carrying Cases!

Well this post is of the carrying cases that carried every kids Joe's into other realms of the neighborhood or school it self. The only one I had as a kid i will start off with, it was a case that attached to your belt like a Ammo case, and held three Joe's, it also doubled as a Star Fighter for me and escape pod for the Joe's when Cobra was woopen up on em.


Case Front.

Case Open.

Case Back.

The next case made in 1984 was not from Hasbro and instead from a company named Tara Corp. it is a must in my collection not only because it was given to me as a present from my sister in law but because it's really cool GI Joe art work.


Front.

Inside and the double trays.

and the really cool back.

And last but not least a really cool addition to my collection, something I recently snagged for ten bucks is a wall mountable GI Joe original case, almost complete. What is real cool about this is the pre production paint jobs on the Joe's pictured on the back. Luckily they came allot cooler than what is pictured, but this is a great piece in the Joe room.


Front.

Inside.

And the Back. By the tare marks some kid utilized the wall mounting wholes!
