G.I.Joe Action Battlers

When this blog was started, I had no intention to blog only about Legos. My plan was to blog about G.I.Joes, mainly, and occasionally, Legos. So if you don't like G.I.Joes, there's nothing to see here.

I only collect the Sigma 6, 8", and Combat Heroes scales of G.I.Joe. So when the Action Battlers came out at Toy Fair, I was happy. Now I know these aren't near as movable, as the Sigma 6 8", but they're 8"! If these sell, maybe Hasbro will put out more regular 8". (Actually these are 7", but when you look at some of the 8", they're really 7".

Take a look at the figures.

Duke

Snake Eyes

Storm Shadow.

Cobra Viper. (Awesome troop builder! I want a few of these!)

Anyhoo, don't worry. The next post will be about Legos.

News from Toy Fair!

Finally got some news from Toy Fair!

Good news: Lego Agents were not at Toy Fair. Why is it good news? Because something else is coming. Agents 2.0! It's a continuation of Leog Agents, but with a new name, new characters, new vehicles, and new battles! I am happy like you wouldn't believe!

Good news: Lego has signed a deal with Disney to make Prince of Persia (A video game series and up-coming movie) sets. The deal also included Cars Duplo sets for the Cars sequel, Cars 2. I'm a big Cars fan, but I won't buy Duplo sets. Also for release are Toy Story duplo sets! But not only, Duplo sets, regular Lego sets!!!!! Good Grief! When I got into Legos, I thought Toy Story Legos would awesome! Now I get to find out how cool it is!

Good Knight! Lego Agents 2009 Pictures!!!!!

All right! Agents pictures! I'm gonna let you know what I think about these! And if you can't tell, I am super excited! I've noticed that there is a new body-armor piece in every set. Sweet!

Gold Tooth's Getaway

Awesome! The motorbike is sweet! My only question is... Is Chase driving an F1 race car?

River Heist

New Infernos!?! Or are they Clawdette and Break Jaw?!? I thought Break Jaw had left! Actually that looks like Fire Arm in a Break Jaw disguise, and Clawdette in a new suit!

Four-wheeling Pursuit.

Totally not what I was expecting! (And that's a good thing.) Maybe the monster truck needs work but a mutant Dr. Inferno?!? All right! (Maybe it's a preview for a new movie, Dr. Inferno and Mr. Hyde!)

Robo Attack

An Inferno mech?!? 'Bout time! The Agents vehicles rule too! But civilians?!? Sweet! When I need civilians for something I have to build some, but no more!

The Ariel Defense Unit.

Oh, man, oh man! Awesome! A two-rotor chopper? A new female Agent? A traitor? Wow! This is on my list of sets to buy!

I was holding my breath for these sets, and I am NOT disappointed!

EDIT: Yes, Iron Man, that is a female Agents pilot. Wait 'till you see what her role will be on my fanfics! BTW, if you click on the pictures, it will enlarge them for you, so you can get a better look!

Power Miners!

When I first saw the Power Miners, I thought,"Oh boy, first Hasbro, then Lego starts putting out plastic toys that nobody wants. The sets didn't look good at all. But now that they are out, they seem very cool to me. Probably the only reason I like them is the fact that the leader is codenamed Duke. I only like some of the sets, not all like the Lego Agents.

I bought a PM set and brought it to church. All the little kids seemed to like the set, so these do have appeal to the little kids.

By the way, don't expect to see fanfics about them. If I buy a set, then expect a review. None the less, Lego you've some neat sets, but do a tad better next time.

Looking back and looking forward

Well, out with the old, in with the new. Another year gone by. AND WHAT A YEAR IT WAS! The beginning of the year was pretty dull for me. No new product. Until the Agents came! Agents is the series I've waiting for! (7 years!) Then the Combat Heroes. I know a lot (if not all) of my readers are Lego fans, but I love the G.I.Joe Combat Heroes. (You gotta remember that this blog was started for G.I.Joe Sigma 6 toys.) Anyway I love Hasbro's new take on G.I.Joe.

Now looking at '09. When I saw the Power Miners and realized that there wouldn't be any Agents sets in the first half of '09, I got worried. But now I'm worried that I won't have the money for them! There are rumors of G.I.Joe 8" figures and I'm sure there will be Combat Heroes.

Ladies and gentlemen, Lego and G.I.Joe fans, and everybody I missed, buckle your seat belts, 'cause it gonna be one ton of a ride.

Combat Heroes Wave 3 images!

Awesome, huh? Let me give ya my thoughts on these.

Snake Eyes vs. Viper: I'm actually disappointed with this set. Snake's goggles are too big, and the Viper just doesn't look right to me, but I'll like him when I get him.

Crimson Guard vs. Shipwreck: I like it. The figures look good, and it has Polly!

Lady Jaye vs Major Bludd: The figures are okay, and Flint likes this set so I'd best get it.

Cobra Commander vs. Gung Ho: I'm disappointed with Gung Ho, Snakebreath looks good, but I'd rather have Scrap Iron or Iron Klaw.
