I know I’ve been dipping a bit into “non toy” land with the reviews lately, but rest assured, the toy reviews are coming and coming STRONG. Expect to see some either this weekend or the beginning of next week!
Until then, I’ve posted a full blown review with video clips and all for the upcoming Shout! Factory Season 1.1 DVD boxed set! Check it out right here.
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!
Along with actual G.I. Joe product, I review other stuff that can go along with it as well, including Marauder, Inc’s amazing 1:18 scale weapon assortments. I also cover Power Team Elite items and Super Hero Showdown. This is one post to kind of get all those under one “roof”. (more…)
