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.

Let's see if I'll pass when I have the goods in front of me:)

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...

The company's plans for 2011 include a re-launch of the 12" "A Real American Hero" figures as well as re-imagined takes on the familiar 3.75" figures and vehicles, but perhaps of most interest to fans are the toys based on the new G.I. Joe Renegades animated series.

Check out some select shots from the showroom floor below, and click on any image to go to the full gallery of hundreds of pics we snapped today.

BBI Elite Force M1 Abrams

Just a quickie today, still got a ton of work to finish. It's a BBI Elite Force 1:18 M1 Abrams MBT! A coworker decided to streamline his collection and sold me this tank and two humvees. More pics soon when I get a chance to pose them with my G.I. Joes.

The Nightmare Before Christmas: Doctor Finkelstein

Doctor Finkelstein is a resident of Halloween Town. He is the mad scientist and the "father" of Sally. He is described as a pale-as-a-sheet mad scientist with a duckbill-like mouth and a hinged skullcap that he can open up to reveal his brain. 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. Unlike Frankenstein who takes no responsibility for his creations and disowns them almost as soon as they are completed (much like the original Dr. Frankenstein), Finklestein takes full responsibility over Sally and acts as an over-protective father and in some ways an overbearing husband (thus explaining Sally's attempts to run away) by keeping her under lock and key under the pretext of shelterin

The Nightmare Before Christmas: Lock, Shock and Barrel

Lock, Shock, and Barrel are introduced as Oogie Boogie's not-so-loyal "little henchmen." Lock, Shock, and Barrel are not really loyal to Oogie as they are simply making mischief for their own fun and to stay on his good side (in other words: they serve him out of fear) and after his death they just have harmless fun, which they seem to enjoy more; however, this is contrasted by their lack of common sense as, presumably due to their lust for mischief they have shown no protest when their master was revived in the spinoffs, and once out of boredom revived him themselves in "Oogie's Revenge".. They all three are trick-or-treaters, with masks similar to their faces(e.g. Barrel's skeleton mask is large and round to fit his face. And has a huge grin on it and he has a near-permanent creepy smile). Their names are a play on the phrase, "lock, stock, and barrel." Though not totally antagonistic, they are usually the comedy relief. They appea
