New Toy Hunt!

I'm still rounding up my ROC and POC G.I. Joe collection and along comes another line...I think I'll pass on the repaints and hunt down the new sculpts instead. The new Duke looks good but But I'm not digging Snakes Eyes. Yeah, right.

G.I. Joe: Renegades Toys

Hasbro kicks off Toy Fair 2011 with a Real American Hero.

Toy Fair has returned to New York City once again, with Hasbro offering up its fourth annual pre-show presentation of its G.I. Joe, Star Wars, Transformers and Marvel lines. All the geek stuff, basically. Let's start off with a look at the Joe line...

Doctor Finklestein lives in a large observatory with his living rag doll creation Sally and his hunchbacked assistant Igor. James Whale's Frankenstein is quoted in Finklestein's line "I made you with my own hands" which is ironic as Finklestein's body appears to be largely if not entirely artificial.

Migrating to Facebook

After a tragedy in the family and a slow return to my hobbies, I've realized that I've been posting more on Facebook. It's easier, faster and the audience response is faster. So, posting here might be spasmodic at best for the time being. Bear with me as I decide what to do with my blogs, thanks!
