The DVD “Battle Pack” reviews – Part 2

by | Sep 8, 2008 | 25th Battle Pack Reviews, G.I. Joe, G.I. Joe Reviews, G.I. Joe Toys, Sunbow

I’ve already covered the MASS Device Battle Pack, and I mentioned in that review that the Revenge of COBRA Battle Pack was heads and shoulders better, even without any drastically new characters or new concepts.  What Hasbro manages to do is to take some familiar stalwarts and give them new life with some minor cosmetic changes that make a big difference.

Once again, I apologize for the lack of my own pictures, but with my camera difficulties these days, the folks at YoJoe.com were kind enough to let me use their stuff.

The DVD “Battle Packs” – How do they measure up?

by | Sep 8, 2008 | 25th Battle Pack Reviews, G.I. Joe, G.I. Joe Reviews, Sunbow

As I’ve already said countless times throughout this “Sunbow Weekend” I’ve always primarily been a comic book fan, and luckily for me, Hasbro has kind of catered to that.  Since 2004 we’ve been getting comic packs with comic exclusive deco’s and a few comic-specific characters (though not everyone we’re asking for like Billy, Kwinn or Dr. Venom….).  However, the cartoon faithful have kind of been left in a lurch, with no real way for them to get the characters and figure deco’s that they’ve been wanting…

…Until now.

Sigma 6 Reviews – Over at Sigma 6 Central

by | Aug 29, 2008 | G.I. Joe Reviews, Sigma 6 (8" Scale)

Ready for the most unpopular opinion you’ll read today?

Sigma 6, in my mind, has been the single greatest toyline on store shelves for the past 10 years.  I loved the scale, I loved the style, I loved the characters…it was fantastic.  Pretty much everything I’d wanted to see in a toyline.  I would have loved a more consistent 3 3/4″ scale (though that would have taken away some of the coolness of the toys) but even as stands it’s one of my favorite toylines ever.  I even loved the small vehicles (though again, it’s a shame they weren’t a more compatible 3 3/4″ scale).

Anyway, all of that potential nastiness aside, I loved Sigma 6 so much that I created a whole site for it along with Fred from JBL.  So if you want to check out the reviews of those toys, hit up Sigma 6 Central, specifically the Reviews Page.

G.I. Joe Reviews Archive

by | Aug 29, 2008 | G.I. Joe Reviews

A couple of years ago when I reformatted my page, I created a review “archive” because a lot of folks still wanted to read my older reviews.  I have kept that intact with this reformat, though it’s still in the old style, just because I don’t feel like converting it all over to WordPress.

So, basically, you can hit The Archives to check out all of my past reviews for all of the Valor Vs. Venom, Spy Troops, and Joe Vs. COBRA goodness that you can handle.
