This is why I try not to ...I know, it totally does! This is why I try not to pay full price for something unless I know for sure I am going to really love it. And I do dabble with a little bit of G.I. Joe. I am far from what you would call a hardcore fan, but I certainly remember the cartoon growing up and I did think that out of most of the boy cartoons, G.I. Joe had a nice number of strong female characters that made it appealing for me. I'm glad you liked the Conference of Evil too! That was so much fun to put together. I hope you are having a nice day!Michael Lynn P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03371185397200027726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-35437566276809833372013-10-17T08:34:03.268-05:002013-10-17T08:34:03.268-05:00It stinks to buy something then find out it's ...It stinks to buy something then find out it's basically garbage. Though I guess the sting is lessened by getting it at a reduced price. I am impressed you dabble in the G.I Joe realm! Very cool. And this read also introduced me to the Conference of Evil. LOL.

And I really really hope you enjoy the Halloween magic I've got cooked up!Michael Lynn P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03371185397200027726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-26429387228766007402013-10-16T16:01:37.388-05:002013-10-16T16:01:37.388-05:00I totally forgot to mention that part about the Co...I totally forgot to mention that part about the Cobra Commander figure! He had a huge lack of articulation. I got his tank for cheap cheap, but at close to 30 dollars for the original price, I just can't imagine someone spending all that money on something that was just not that good. <br /><br />I do like the remake HISS tanks they did. I have seen the one in red, and it looks pretty cool. I might need to go back and just get one of those (on the off chance that i need a HISS Tank for more stories. lol)<br /><br />The one thing they sort of got right with the movie line was the Jinx figure. Of course they decided to release her last and she probably won't make it to stores. So yeah. A bit disappointing. I really like how they handled the toy line for the first movie. It really felt like an event. With the movie and everything getting pushed back, that toy line just wasn't going to make it.

Joe fan, so my negative comments about "THAT" movie make me want to retaliate against the production company for killing something that I love.<br /><br />A few years ago I went to the Wizard World convention in Philadelphia--very boring...but, I did pick up a HISS Tank--however it was a remake of the original which I had as a kid. I got the standard black version--there are others in white and blue...and even red! The toy itself is an exact mold of the 80's original which could stand up to some killer play, the only difference is the retooled foot pegs for the modern figures, everything else seems to be exactly the same. Built solid as a rock!<br /><br />The newer HISS has had problems left and right, the moving treads, the pop-up function, all of it fails--I wish you would have asked me what I thought about it first, but when you see something like that for 9 bucks in a store you tend to go hog-wild. Sorry you had to get a dud...but that's "THAT" movie for ya, nothing good came out of it!Paladinhttp://nerdsociety.comnoreply@blogger.com
