Star Wars Hero Mashers

Funny, I saw these at the Five Below discount store and grabbed them for cheap. I thought I had Bossk aleady but wasn't sure about Kit Fisto. I grabbed them and took some photos along with some other old ones I had stashed away in a bag.

The Year of Joe - August Collection Update

 As I mentioned, August was pretty thin and I had prewritten several posts. I had intended to update the end of month Joe update but it was Monday. No excuse. I received these last Sunday - still August - from a fellow collector. So these should be included in the August update. I love the Joe File Cards. They are so much fun to read and look at. What a brilliant idea from Larry Hama. They are timeless.

Year of Joe - August Update

These are from a group of late 80s Cobra troopers. Love it.

GI JOE Classified Series Update - Cobra Trooper and Arctic Storm Shadow

So my August Joe update was pretty slim and I had pre-published a lot of the articles the last few weeks, but here are some updates with the GI Joe Classified Series.  The Amazon Exclusive Storm Shadow was scheduled to arrive in November but I received my shipping notice last week. A pleasant surprise. Also had a fellow collector snag me a Cobra Trooper. I still haven't seen the Cobra Island figures out in the wild. 

Star Wars Black Series Carbonized Stormtrooper

 I have low expectations for finding exclusive action figures. At least I get pleasantly surprised when I come across something in the wild. Went into Gamestop looking for Marvel Legends and found this Carbonized Black Series Stormtrooper. He looks pretty cool. The packaging was a bit bruised, maybe that is why he was still laying around.

He looks like he belongs in Captain Phasma's gang. 

Marvel Legends Age of Apocalypse - Morph, X-Man, Wild Child

At first I wasn't going to complete this series but since I was halfway there....well, you know how it goes.  I did think Morph and X-Man looked cool. Wild Child as well.

I did have to look up what the story arc was about. It came out mid-90s while I was in the army and stopped collecting: Age_of_Apocalypse

And I managed to snag Weapon X as well to complete the series.
