THE POP EXPOSE ‘Christmas’ by Mitchell Smith!

December 24, 2018December 24, 2018 Serpentorslair StaffChristmas, G.I.Joe, The POP-EXPOSE0 comment

Christmas has always been one of my favorite holidays. I have had many great Christmas moments and I’m sure you have heard a couple but these are a few of my personal favorite Christmas moments. When I was little we always went to my grandparents house in Lake Placid site of the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics. It was always an adventure traveling through Cascade Lakes, pretty much a narrow path that cut through the mountains, it was always dark, cold, and snowing it seemed on Christmas eve. Once we…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘Star Wars Death Troopers’ By Mitchell Smith!

Star Wars (Rogue One) Death Troopers A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, there was a Stormtrooper decked out in all white, and they were the coolest trooper around at the time. I am a die hard classic Star Wars fan but the modern day Star Wars is growing on me. As far as action figures go the Rogue One Death Trooper is really pretty cool and a little more sleek and stealthy looking than the original Stormtrooper. I found some 12 inch Elite figures on clearance last year at the…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘NFL Playoffs’ By Mitchell Smith!

December 9, 2018December 9, 2018 Serpentorslair StaffSports, The POP-EXPOSE0 comment

Many NFL teams seasons came to an end last week as far as playoffs are concerned. Probably the most disappointing loss was the Green Bay Packers who in response to the lose head coach Mike McCarthy was fired. Many teams got some meaningful wins as far as finishing the season strong and working on next year such as the Cardinals who beat GB, and Giants beating the Bears for a huge win as far as their season goes, but even though it keeps their playoff hopes alive it’s probably just a moral…

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. We are sliding hard, Thanksgiving is in our dust and Christmas is fast approaching. There are many great things I love about this time of year and one is watching some of my all time favorite Christmas movies. I’m narrowing my list to my top 7 in no particular order, not to slight the many other great movies but these are simply the 7 I have to watch at least once this time of year. – I have been told before that…

The POP EXPOSE ‘Santa Clause’ by Mitchell Smith!

November 25, 2018 Serpentorslair StaffChristmas, Santa Claus, The POP-EXPOSE0 comment

Santa has been quite a popular character over the years. Kris Kringle, Jolly old St Nick., Pere Noel, Father Christmas, Many cartoons, Movies, and songs have been made based around him. Santa is the one most kids want to sit on his lap and let him know what they would like him to bring for Christmas. He might be a hero or a villain depending on whether or not a child receives that one special gift he was wishing for the most. Then there are those Christmas Eve snow falls that sometimes can…

The POP EXPOSE ‘Thanksgiving’ by Mitchell Smith!

November 18, 2018 Serpentorslair StaffThanksgiving, The POP-EXPOSE0 comment

This is one of my favorite weeks coming up. Turkey, football, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday. This is what launches the holiday season for me. I love going grocery shopping for Thanksgiving and picking up all the things you might not buy on a weekly basis, such as stuffed olives, grape leaves, and lobster tail. I also like cooking dinner or helping but I don’t mind being the head chef. Nothing like prepping a turkey and cracking a good bottle of scotch at 7 AM. Then after enjoying a…

The POP EXPOSE ‘Star Wars Fall Figure Line’ by Mitchell Smith!

November 11, 2018 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, Star Wars, The POP-EXPOSE, toy collecting0 comment

The Star Wars fall figure lineup isn’t all that bad. The Black Series 6 inch line looks solid with Bespin Han Solo and Hoth Leia being my 2 favorites, which I hope this will lead to a Bespin Luke and maybe a Yoda re-release. I’ve been holding out on the 6 inch Solo figures, but Beckett, Val, and L3-37 all look nice but again I’m holding off on this line. Rogue One’s Rio Durant has a very nice looking figure which this will probably be the rare one to find. Also in this lineup…

The POP EXPOSE ‘G.I.Joe Crossfire’ by Mitchell Smith!

November 4, 2018 Serpentorslair StaffCrossfire, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

The 1987 Crossfire was one of the G.I. Joe’s rarest vehicles. The one and only R/C car was a cool vehicle but it came with a hefty price even for today’s standards. If you were one of those lucky kids to own one of these it was a cool car. It came with Rumbler who was accurately names as he bounced around the drivers seat. This was a cool concept, like who wouldn’t want a G.I Joe R/C car, but it was only released in limited quantities I’m guessing mainly because of the cost. There are…

The POP EXPOSE ‘Baseball Ain’t What it Used To Be’ By Mitchell Smith!

October 28, 2018 Serpentorslair StaffSports, The POP-EXPOSE0 comment

Baseball has been traced back to the 1700’s and became popular in the U.S. during the Civil War when soldiers would play to keep busy when they had down time. In the late 1800’s a professional league was formed where men got paid to play baseball. Around the beginning of the 1900’s Baseball started taking shape and the MLB was born. Times were different back then, there was no TV and going to a game was a way to relax, let loose, and probably most of all pass time. I love…

The Mega Million dollar jackpot rose to 1 Billion dollars Friday the 19th, it has been close a time or two but this is the first time its hit the Billion dollar status. Which if you hit it and took the lump sum which pans out to about $550 Million, and our fine government will tax you on that so cut that roughly in half again, so now you’re left with $225 million. WOW so what the hell would you do with that amount of cash. Have one huge ass…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘NFL The Changing Game’ By Mitchell Smith!

September 30, 2018 Serpentorslair StaffFootball, NFL, Sports, The POP-EXPOSE0 comment

The NFL has been under the gun the last 2 years mostly due to the players kneeling to the National Anthem. If you take this aspect away nothing has really changed all that much. Football is still football, there are a handful of trouble makers and a few that create drama and public scrutiny, but most of the players get up every day go to work, have families to support, and do a lot of good for their communities. So if you were able to overlook the drama the past couple of years you…

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

September 16, 2018 Serpentorslair StaffG.I.Joe, The POP-EXPOSE, toy collectors0 comment

When G.I. Joe hit shelves in 1982 each character had his own little uniqueness, as the years went on they had a vast variety of weapons, uniforms, and personalities, but one thing they all have in common is they all came with a file card. Hama tossed in a lot of military stuff, but he also through in some humor and gave a little back story to every character bringing them to life. I was sitting reading through some the other night and it made me wonder where Hama came up with…
