You can’t appreciate GI Joe until you’ve seen it in the original Japanese

Range Viper version 2 and Jungle Terror Twin Battle Gun

Range Viper version 2 and Jungle Terror Twin Battle Gun

I was not putting much expectations into this new wave but I was surprised how good this was. Especially, the price.

For some reason, the new wave got included in the 50% discount sale for older Rise of Cobra sets which makes this just right.

25th Anniversary Indian C.O.B.R.A.

I was busy making new covers when this unusual bending occurred so, now, I have a new custom head.

His name is Sandeep and he is a member of India’s COBRA (Commando ;Battalion for Resolute ction).

These are the good guys!

25th Anniversary Doc : Rescued and Bored

Last year, I went through the trouble of saving up stickers and arranging shipping for rescuing the 25th Anniversary Doc action figure. G.I. Joe’s only full-fledged Doctor.

Previously, I featured the 2 Docs I finally “liberated”.

All was well.

Now, Guess what I stumbled into ?

More Docs!

G.I. Joe Doc

Apparently, Cobra has cloned Doc and found no more use for him and is practically giving him away!

More Rise of Cobra Toys

Just a quick one.

I arrived early at a meeting and had time to dash to the local Toy Store.

By chance, I picked up a rare Wraith at SRP ($7.60).

By some weird circumstance, I was offered a chance to go through undisplayed inventory and scored 3 x Pit Commandos, 2 x Stormshadow unmasked, and a Paris Pursuit Snake Eyes with Timber.

G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra

Being the OCD Information Security Privacy head Honcho, I had to run equally fast to the nearest office supply shop to get one manila envelope that fits all these to make it look like crime scene evidence to pass physical security checks and avoid those weird looks.

Mission Accomplished!

Snake Eyes: Year One, a.k.a. Snake Eyes : Continue Mission featured at TheTerrordrome.com

Snake Eyes Continue Mission

It is my first week at work and I spent the whole week learning the administrative ropes. The orientation may be boring but it gave me the perfect opportunity to work on my idea of a whole team of custom troopers. I am already down to the individual members’ real names and background so I am extremely excited with this project.

I mean, imagine a trooper whose codename is “Nut” ?

;D

You can guess how I will be spending my twice daily coffee breaks.  Creative writing or sniffing paint.

Fortunately, I have been reading volumes of anecdotes more than enough to fill out filecards for a whole team.

Now, on another note.

If Airwave had not told me, I would not have known at all.

Snake Eyes: Year One, a.k.a. Snake Eyes : Continue Mission, was featured at www.theterrordrome.com and is a candidate for Custom of the Week!

Thanks to www.theterrordrome.com for the opportunity!

Greenshirt Snake Eyes: Continue Mission!

Snake Eyes Continue Mission

This custom of mine is of Snake Eyes just minutes after his helo accident which left him deformed and unable to speak. Despite these injuries, Snake Eyes insisted to Charlie Mike: Continue Mission.
