As I look back through some posts I’ve made here, I come across the realization that if you just read this blog, you might thinkthat I hate the Anniversary figures! Oye…how did that happen?
Like a lot of other folks, I’ve gotten a bit tired of the endless repaints and re-releases, and am getting somewhat stumped as to why we haven’t at least seen some sign of Recondo, Ripcord, Dr. Mindbender, Wet Suit and a handful of other characters that would be easy to do with exisiting parts and seem like no-brainers. But when it comes to the Anniversary stuff I can certainly appreciate the quality of the toys themselves, and I am greatly looking forward to the upcoming Wave 7 single packs.

I don’t have time to do everything, but I’ll let you guys choose what goes up next.

My good buddies over at JoeCanuck have launched the September issue of their now famous JoeCanuck Newsletter. Even though they are based in Canada, these newsletters are fun for all nationalities, and feature an exclusive dio-story by yours truly. In fact, the September issue wraps up the first 6-parter! Hope you’ve enjoyed it. To be brutally honest, I’ve read and heard absolutely zero feedback on it (other than the JoeCanuck guys themselves) so I’m not even sure anyone liked it or cared about it… but it was fun.
Actually talking about the JoeCanuck newsletter also brings up an interesting thought to me that I’ve been meaning to talk about.
What is fandom?

I know, I know…the mere mention of “Movie Toys” at this point sends most Joe fans into a spiralling depression and near-psychotic rage. We all love our Anniversary stuff, but like it or not, as of summer, 2009, we’ll be moving on to the inevitable onslaught of movie toys. Trust me when I say there will be no complaints about distribution once those bad boys hit. Oye ve!

So the latest swath of Wal-Mart early product lists have been revealed on the oft-overlooked JoeBattleLines forums. Big props to “Ghost Target” for his tireless research. 😉
And of course, as usual, I have my own thoughts on some upcoming items for 2009…

Any Joefan who’s spent more than ten seconds of time around me knows my biggest lament these days, and it’s not any different than a healthy percentage of the group as a whole… I don’t have any space for displaying my stuff.
