I'm sssssso awesssssome!

Sideshow has done it again!  Cobra Commander has never looked so good (or rather, so menacing) immortalized in plastic before.  This 12 Inch figure features all of the nescessary details, and every single unnessecary add-on, weapon, and extra you can think of.  Like usual, the clothing is made out of the real material, and it is extremely poseable.

Also, not only do we have this work of art, but we have all the toys from the up and coming G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra action figure in stock!  And don’t forget the G.I. Joe Movie and Pizza party we’ll be having here at the store on August 7th, at 6PM!  $15 will get you pizza, pop, a ticket for opening day, and a reserved seat in the theatre!

Oh man, are these ever appropriate to what’s going on today. You get the Arctic Pack for all the snow, and you get the Desert Pack for when it warms up, and the snow melts. Plus, if you’re into setting scenes, you finally have someone for Snow Job to fight! Hurray!

These new “old” G.I. Joes have got people talking (and buying) like crazy! It seems like everyone has a story about a Joe they had when they were younger, and with every wave that comes out there seems to be more trips down memory lane.

For myself, I was a little to young to remember the Joe heyday, but I do remember my cousins’ collection. They grew out of them, and they became part of the regular rotation of toys at the cottage. Countless Joe limbs and torsos were strewn about the bag, mostly due to those pesky elastics and their constant snapping, but there were a few Joes still intact. These became the prize toys among the younger kids, and the one that I remember in particular was Cobra Commander, with his fancy blue suit, wacky helmet, and what looked like a completely opaque visor. Now that I’m older, I’m still fascinated by Cobra Commander’s look, and I’m this close to buying one. Oh the hazards of working in a toy store.

If you have any G.I. Joe related stories, please feel free to share them, and I’ll put them up on the site, if you wish. For now, I’m just going to put pictures up of the new wave of Joes we just got in stock.
