The Pursuit of Cobra; GI Joe Low-Light

Low-Light is the GI Joe team's night operations expert. He was one of my favorites from the original series season 2. I like how he was once afraid of the dark, yet now works in the dark.

This guy is nuts! I can't believe how much crap Low-Light comes with.

There is simply too much to keep track of with these new GI Joes. TOO MUCH!!!

Are you #@&*ing kidding me?

The only thing missing is a tilting neck so he can lay low.

A thousand gold stars for this action figure, well worth the rip-off price that Walgreens got me for. At least I can take back an older PoC figure I didn't open yet, use the receipt, and exchange it for a newer one, that I want.

Batman The Brave and the Bold; Attack Copter with Batman, who else?

I have learned three things today. Always buy the toy, the first time you see it weeks ago. Who cares if you don't have the immediate funds for it. And remember when people throw fake buckets of blood on you at Burlington Coat factory, its only for the fur coats and not the toys.

I was worried at first it was gone for good, but after the panic subsided and I used the "Toy Force" I found the set I saw weeks ago, wedged in between some old crap. I really just wanted the normal suit Batman, the Attack Copter was an added bonus.

A strange bonus, that is. What is the deal with the head on the front? It looks like Batman is sitting on an Attack toilet.

Luckily the Attack Copter comes apart and makes weapons!

I can now play Batman's stealth raid on Bin Laden's hideout in Pakistan.

The Attack Copter weapons don't look half bad. The face shield, what's with that?

Good set for 9.99, now I don't have to order this online.

Marvel Universe; World War Hulk

You might have noticed yesterday's Apocalypse knock down by World War Hulk. WWH is SOO much cooler than Apocalypse.

A few ounces lighter, he holds up better, and with weapons! Cool weapons!! I know Apocalypse is all powerful, but at least a ray gun or something to humor me with. WWH has a sword, a battle axe, and a shield. Heck, his loin cloth looks like a weapon.

This figure begs stop motion, but he does drop weapons easily, and is a little loose, so that might end in vain, but I will try sometime. The problem with the portly MU figures, is there tiny joints can't hold too much weight. WWH's hip has popped out of joint twice. Easily fixable, but kind of a design flub.

I highly recommend this toy over Apocalypse.

I Cus, You Cus, We all Cus, for Marvel Universe's Apocalypse

My last Apocalypse toy was a Toy Biz figure from the 90's. I found him for a dollar, and he was worth it. His arm broke off, and had to be held on with poster tack. To be honest, I've never been a fan of Apocalypse. His name is really hard to spell for one reason. Clearly whoever first drew him had a bad experience with orthodontic headgear (not that anyone has had good experiences). He looked pretty good in this modern package though, so I thought what the Apocalypse?

Kind of thinking that I want my original back instead now (I sold it years ago). This figure is too hulking for his points of articulation, so he sags, bends, tilts, and bulges all over the place. It's not even an appropriate size, shouldn't he be like ten of these figures?

Bah, now I don't know what to do with him!

Who dare challenge Apocalypse?

Hulk does, and wins.

Transformers Generations; Decepticon Thundercracker, Robot Mode

Thundercracker's robot mode is Scrumtrulescent. Especially when compared to this...

And the Cybertron version...

And back compared to the G1 version...

Scrumtrulescent!

Transformers Generations; Decepticon Thundercracker, Jet Mode

At long last the awesome Thundercracker! It sucked watching him pass by as an exclusive for too much moneys, but finally the "sensible" collector can get one. Why the deep love for Thundercracker? Well...

Thundercracker was my first Decepticon toy (Second Transformer toy, next to Grapple). I am amazed by the moons of Cybertron that I have most of his stuff still. Even the landing gear! I remember seeing that piece bounce form collection box to collection box, and somehow I finally got it into a baggie with all the other wings and weapons. I think since I had fewer Transformers as a kid, I developed great respect for keeping them intact. As for Man-At-Arm's missing head...

So What it seems like ten years ago, Transformers Cybertron created a new Thundercracker.

He sports a nifty new advanced look, but a little too gray. I still like him a lot, he is easy to transform and is sized really well.

Finally the real deal Thundercracker...

A repaint to go with the the classics Starscream and Skywarp. My initial thought is a really well done paint job. His silver sections are highly shiny, and we know how much I like shiny things. Out of the three classic jets, he is the best version of course. Blue just fits that jet so well.

All three look great in formation, and will be sure to cause all in the Toy Museum much pain.

Shall I transform them?

Batman The Brave and the Bold; Total Armor Batman; Attack Blade Batman, or Running with Half Scissors Batman

I didn't realize that this was one of the newer Batman figures, so I thought I was going to have to order online. I was surprised to see him at Walmart though, with the rest of the Total Armored series. Toys R Us had a much pretty version...

His Cape was supposed to be a lighter blue, and his torso sides be the light blue. Also, shiny pants, where is his shiny pants? The Metallic blue chest plate could be darker too. With all that aside though, he's still a pretty spiffy figure.

He wields a mighty half scissors, I should buy another, so I could have the full scissor weaponry. I do like the mini additional shoulder metal mount. I didn't think I would like the weapon attachment holes on these figures, but I am really starting to turn. It makes the weaponry hold on so much tighter than the usual low grip hands. Oh, his cape is a deep navy blue.

So not a bad figure to add to my Batmen. If there is one that is more like the Toys R Us photo, let me know, so I can get that one too. :)
