Crime Scene Antics

Some Power Team police figures are on the scene with a Hot Topic Land Adventurer G.I. Joe. There seems to be a communication problem. Is Joe dead???

Coming along for the ride are the DC Direct 13" Power Girl. She's a pretty cool figure, my only complaint is that her flesh colored leg covering is baggy and wrinkles. I do like her face and overall look ... she captures the feel of Power Girl.

She is followed by the DC Direct 13" Catwoman. I love her fake leather outfit and mask. She is probably the best DC Direct figure to date. She looks like the Darwyn Cooke inspired version of Catwoman that is currently the "look" in the comics.

The DC Direct 13" Nightwing is next and he's a great version of the character, many think he's too "Brad Pitt" pretty-boy looking, but that doesn't bother me. I like that his mask is removeable!!

I then followed up with a custom African American Atomic Man, he's a modern Joe made to be similar to the vintage Mike Power figure. Which leads to my vintage Mike Power, Atomic Man.

Watch the mayhem and silly banter!!!

This is more another shameless excuse to show off some of my newer figures than anything else, but I hope you enjoy them!!!

Action House: Moving Day

All good things must come to an end. It may sound trite, but it's true. The Action House has been scheduled for demolition, so Action Man and his team stop by for one last look before the Government budgets them a new headquarters. This is more an excuse to show off my figures, but I hope you enjoy them!!!

SPOOKY!!!

Well, it's October and the Fall Season starts us thinking of Halloween, even though it's been in the 80s here in New Jersey, it's still Fall!!! Growing up I was always a HUGE fan of the Universal Horror films, still love them. So, here's a nod to my childhood and "Horror" ... yes it's SPOOKY!!!

Lewis & Larry: New Recruit

Here's a little story to introduce the new figure from the G.I. Joe Collector's Club. As usual he's a high quality reproduction of a classic Adventure Team-era Joe. The figure come dressed in a white t-shirt and boxers with the AT logo. Of course you want to also have an outfit for him, so the club also sells an Arctic Adventurer set in white, the gear is pretty cool ... white boots, holster and rifle to go with his white parka and cargo pants.

Fleet Week!!!

Well, it's that time of year again. Sailors get to come to New York City and let loose. Fleet Week is always a fun time in NYC, we not only get US Navy guys, but also Sailors from all over the world!!! So, in the spirit of the week, I took a picture of the bar I have been going to since 1979 and put some Joes in the mix. Anyway, if you see a Sailor, thank him, buy him a drink or give him a big hug ... anything to show how much you appreciate what he does!!

The Reboot of Mike Power - Part 1

The beginning of a new story!!! Mike Power is malfunctioning ... will the Adventure Team be able to contain him??? This is a mix of vintage and modern G.I. Joe stuff. The egg is a goose egg that a friend gave me, the cracked one was part of a quiche!!! The mini-Godzilla is something I have had for over 30 years, I found it in a box with my Aurora Monster Scene stuff from the early 70s ... I have no idea where he came from!!!

Anyway, enjoy the ride ... click on the picture and it gets bigger!!!
