Pyramids of Darkness – 5 Memorable Moments

by | Oct 29, 2008 | G.I. Joe, Sunbow

After I received my DVD Battle Packs for the MASS Device and Revenge of COBRA, I composed a “Top 5” list of the 5 most memerable moments from those two mini-series…at least in my mind.  Well, I don’t quite feel qualified to do that for Pyramids of Darkness and Arise, Serpentor, Arise.  While I’ve certainly seen both mini-series a handful of times over the years, I don’t know them as I know the first two, so instead of pretending as if my personal list of memorable moments are the “Top 5”, I figure I’d simply list them as 5 memorable moments.  But, as always, feel free to disagree.  😉

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.

The Revenge of COBRA – My Top 5 Moments

by | Sep 7, 2008 | G.I. Joe, Sunbow

I already did the MASS Device yesterday.  Now we continue the celebration of the Sunbow cartoon (as well as the release of the DVD Battle Packs) by rolling my Top 5 Moments from the Revenge of COBRA.

In some ways better than the MASS Device (at least in my opinion), The Revenge of COBRA follows a nearly identical formula, yet adds some twists and turns.  New characters arrive, action sequences are ramped up.  It follows the tradition of the MASS Device perfectly.  But what are my Top 5 Moments?
