THE POP EXPOSE ‘G.I.Joe 2004’ By Mitchell Smith!

May 12, 2019May 12, 2019 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

2004 was a great year for me. I was celebrating 5 years at my current job, my wife and had our first child, and although I was still a few years away from becoming a collector, G.I. Joe put out a killer line up of Joes. There were some nice new characters, some cool comic packs and some awesome sub teams. I have a handful of figures from 2004 but I’m working on getting a bunch more from this year. Some of my favorite new figures from this year include, Hard Drive…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘Scarlett Johansson’ By Mitchell Smith!

May 5, 2019May 29, 2021 Serpentorslair StaffScarlett Johansson, The POP-EXPOSE0 comment

Scarlett Johansson was born in Manhattan, started acting as a child and now is the highest paid actress in Hollywood. She has played a number of rolls including Grace Mclean in The Horse Whisperer with Robert Redford, Charlotte in Lost in Translation along side all time great Bill Murray, and has had a long run as Black Widow in the Marvel franchise. Scarlett has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and is one of the most recognizable actresses in Hollywood. I’ve always liked Scarlett Johansson but I really only knew…

THE POP-EXPOSE – Do You Wish You Had These G.I.Joe’s As A Kid?

April 28, 2019April 28, 2019 Serpentorslair StaffG.I.Joe, The POP-EXPOSE, toy collecting0 comment

Don’t you wish you would have had these GI Joe’s as a kid??? G.I. Joe has always been my favorite line. There have been so many great vehicles and figures over the years but there are some things I wish we would have seen made over the years. The first thing that comes to my mind is some awesome bikes for the Dreadnoks. It would have been awesome to see a couple Cobra bikes for them to ride. Torch, Ripper, and Buzzer sporting a Chopper, a Hog, and an Indian would have been awesome, although…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘Avengers Endgame Preview’ By Mitchell Smith!

Avengers: Endgame is coming! Well I hope it has not been too long a wait for Avengers: Endgame. Infinity War was probably my favorite movie from last year and not only was that good but made me catch up on all the spin offs that I missed. This one should have a few tear jerking moments especially with the late great forefather Stan Lee passing away last year and this potentially the last movie he will have a cameo in. I’m sure there will be some sort of dedication to him…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘Vintage Video Games or Modern’ By Mitchell Smith?

April 14, 2019April 14, 2019 Serpentorslair Staffmortal kombat, Super Mario, The POP-EXPOSE, Video Games0 comment

Do you like vintage or modern video games? Video Games aren’t what they used to be. I’m old enough to remember playing Atari at my cousins house, and I had an original NES. Oh those were the glorious days Super Mario and Duck Hunt. The hours of play to try and get to level 8 was so much different back then. There was no saving just play, play, play, and hopefully have siblings or friends to help you get to the end. I don’t have a working NES, but I…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘Who is Your Favorite G.I.Joe’ By Mitchell Smith!

April 7, 2019April 7, 2019 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, The POP-EXPOSE, toy collecting0 comment

Do you have a favorite G.I. Joe? I was racking my brain the other day trying to figure out who my all time favorite Joe is. I grew up watching G.I. Joe and had a good number of figures but I never really had 1 favorite, I loved them all. So I’m trying to narrow down my top favorite all time Joes to just one. I’m going to factor in classic and modern figures, also 12 inch and Sigma six figures, and I will also use the cartoon and comics…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘MLB Opening Day 2019’ By Mitchell Smith!

March 31, 2019March 31, 2019 Serpentorslair StaffBaseball, MLB, Sports, The POP-EXPOSE0 comment

Baseball season is here! Baseball season is upon us. The oldest sport in the US has lost its luster a bit in recent years, but it will always hold a special spot in my heart. I started watching baseball in the late 80’s when the Oakland Athletics had great team, with guys like Jose Canseco, Rickey Henderson, and Dennis Eckersley to name a few. Me living in the sticks our TV channels were limited and in the early 90’s one of the only stations I got that played sports was…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘NEW REPRO STAR WARS’ By Mitchell Smith!

March 17, 2019March 17, 2019 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, Hasbro, Star Wars, The POP-EXPOSE0 comment

Who’s excited for the new repro vintage style Star Wars figures? Retail figures have gone the way of the dodo bird lately. Despite some lingering Rogue One, Solo, and Marvel figures, it’s tough to go to retail and find anything new these days. G.I. Joe, what are those? The online stores have the market on action figures, but even those are in a bit of a drought compared to the past 10 years or so. For me I enjoy the hunt. How often as an adult collector do you get something and…

THE POP-EXPOSE ‘Guardians Meet Star Wars’ By Mitchell Smith

March 10, 2019March 10, 2019 Serpentorslair StaffGuardians of the Galaxy, Star Wars, The POP-EXPOSE0 comment

Could Guardians of the Galaxy ever cross paths with the Millennium Falcon crew? The Millennium Falcon has had several crews over the history of the Star Wars franchise. From Han and Chewy to Lando and Chewy, to Han and Rey, and soon there will have to be a new crew to take over, so would it be possible for one of these crews to cross paths with the Guardians of the Galaxy? In a franchise rights situation obviously Disney could do a crossover between to two maybe even just something…

THE POP EXPOSE Visits Strong Museum in Rochester New York!

March 1, 2019March 1, 2019 Serpentorslair StaffThe POP-EXPOSE, toy collecting0 comment

I recently visited the Strong Museum in the Finger Lake region of New York. It is a cool midsize city that overlooks one of the Great Lakes, Lake Ontario and the lake actually looks like the ocean when you stand on the shores but from a Birds-eye view you can see clear to Canada. The Strong Museum is a unique place and has several working portions for kids and adults to explore. Some of the play areas include Sesame Street, a pinball arcade, and a mini play version of one of my…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘Def Leppard’s Rick Allen’ By Mitchell Smith!

February 24, 2019February 24, 2019 Serpentorslair StaffDef Leppard, Music, Rick Allen, The POP-EXPOSE0 comment

Rick Allen was born in November of 1963 in Derbyshire England. He started playing drums at the age of nine and in 1978 at 15 years old Allen replaced Def Leppard drummer Tony Kenning. In 1984 Allen was in a car accident and lost his left arm. This did not stop Allen though, he didn’t put down the drum sticks and went on with the band as Def Leppard tore into the mainstream with hits like, Love Bites, Pour Some Sugar on Me, and Photograph. Def Leppard is one of my all time…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘M.A.S.K.’ By Mitchell Smith!

February 18, 2019February 18, 2019 Serpentorslair StaffM.A.S.K., The POP-EXPOSE, toy collecting0 comment

Who had M.A.S.K. figures as kids? M.A.S.K. is one of those franchises that you shake your head at and wonder my there has not been a reboot such as other popular toy lines as, G.I. Joe, Transformers, and TMNT. This was one of the coolest toy lines back in the day. The transforming vehicles and the signature removable helmets were quite enough for me to be hooked as a kid. In the animated series accompanied by a toy line heyday, M.A.S.K. did well and was popular. Part of its appeal was the smaller scale that allowed…

It’s that time of year again, a lot of people are looking for that special someone to be their Valentine. I recently had a chance to test out online dating looking for mine. My how times have changed in the past 20 years. I guess this is a good way to meet people. You take away some of the uncertainty of picking people up at a bar or in the workplace. At least you won’t get a drink tossed in your face or harassment charges for using corning pick up…

Super Bowl Sunday, a long season and it all comes down to 1 game to be crowned champs. There have been some great teams over the years and players that have been unmatched even by today’s modern game. One position that gets the most recognition and has produced so many household names is the quarterback position. There have been so many great quarterbacks over the years and we all know Tom Brady has a million Super Bowls under his belt and has won half of them so you’re too successful…

THE POP EXPOSE – Is Empire Strikes Back The Best Star Wars Film? By Mitchell Smith

Is The Empire Strikes Back still the best Star Wars movie of all time? The Star Wars franchise has grown to a very large portion, with recent additions “Solo”, and a 4th season to “Rebels”. The line up of movies has grown a lot in recent years and we will get the 9th installment of the story started way back in 1977 when a kid set out to release his story to the world. As we all know Lucas fought to get his story on the big screen and the instant craze slingshot Lucas…
