GI Joe Classified - Shockwave

Image
The original vintage Shockwave figure released right about the time I stopped collecting as a kid. 1988 I believe. I think the lack of cartoon appearances by all of the late 80's figures in the original Sunbow series had alot to do with my waning interest. In retrospect, I probably missed out on what could have been one of my favorite all time GI Joe action figures. That said, I am perfectly fine filling that void, temporarily,  with GI Joe Classifieds Jason " Shockwave " Faria!

What I'm Reading

It's been a hectic couple of weeks. Work has been non-stop, although I am grateful for every minute of it. These days I barely have the time to sit back and write up a solid post about anything really. As a stay home dad, blogging used to feel like a therapeutic distraction. Working full time has filled that void and then some. Days off are spent splitting and making time for all of my passions -  making music/ gaming/ reading/ collecting/ blogging and most importantly my daughter. Blogging hasn't been very high on the priority list. I should do something about that 🤔  Anyways,  here's what I've been skimming through these past couple of weeks.  This is actually issue #1 of an 8 issue series that Matt (Toy Box) sent me a little while back. I haven't gotten through it all but love what I've read so far. Elektra, if your out there, I'm single and have a really, really cool action figure collection 😉😉 The Infinity Gauntlet has been high on my wan

Marvel Epic Heroes - Doc Ock/Black Suit Spider-Man

It's been fun opening and playing with these Epic Heroes Marvel 4 inch figures. They remind me of DC Spinmasters figures of the same scale. I feel like these will be around for a while but much like Jigsaw said in one of his comments, the cast of characters may be a limited one. I'll continue to pick these up as I find them, If I like the characters, and see where it goes. 

Darth Vader - Star Wars (Epic Heroes)

The evergreen 4" Epic Heroe Series has branched out and is now offering select Star Wars action figures. I haven't seen many on the pegs but managed to find the baddest black man in outer space,  Darth Vader! With this EHS line your getting a kid friendly action figure with limited articulation and 1 to 2 accessories. Pretty much a glamourized happy meal toy.
