For whatever reason the Anniversary line turned me into a “display guy”. I was always all about the playability, and not really how figures looked on the shelf, but when the Anniversary line hit its stride, I suddenly had an urge to make various shelf displays of certain figures. All the cartoon-themed folks together, a nice little COBRA army…even the Iron Grenadiers. Don’t ask me why, I just felt compelled.
But of course, finding a spot was tough, and keeping the spot clean was even tougher. I have black bookcases which would become dust magnets within minutes of setting up the damn figures! Well, SmallJoes.com recently announced that they’re distributing a unique display case tailor-made for 1:18 figures. It’s clear poly-styrene, stackable, a managable size, and locks together in such a way that it almost eliminates dust altogether. I just had to check it out.
Then, once I checked it out, I loved it so much I just had to do a review of it to show other folks what they were missing if they didn’t have one. Priced at a very reasonable $24.99 for the entire set (and only $9.99 if you just want the “steps”) I think this is a must have for any fans of 1:18 scale figures.
Check out the full review here, and if you like it, be sure to head over to SmallJoes and pick one up for yourself!
tkprime over on his Facebook page has uploaded a brand new TV Spot that he saw on Cartoon Network last night. It uses mostly the same footage, but with some more editing, a few more cool shots of Scarlett (who definitely looks to be the girl riding the motorcycle who gets wiped out) and some other Accelerator Suit goodness.
More sites are finally reporting in about the G.I. Joe logo-emblazoned black helicopter that was spotted in various beaches around the country this past weekend, and PublicAdCampaign.com actually got some video!
He’s been fairly elusive the first few days of release, but the single pack version of General Hawk is out there, and Smokescreen from One-18th.com has him! Not only does he have him, but he posted a kick ass review of the figure as well, with all sorts of awesome images. You can check out the review at his site, and I’ve hosted a few of his images below. More can be found directly at the source.
