Read MoreBy Destro Designs – Viper Den Studios As I talked about in my article a week or so ago, I rank my favorite 3¾-inch G.I. Joe figures a bit differently than everyone else. In fact, I have three different lists that cover my favorites: One of the most interesting things about these lists is that I was absolutely obsessed with a figure I didn’t actually get until I was 10 years old. It was a fascination from a distance. I started collecting G.I. Joe figures when I was four years…
Read MoreStory by @GIJoeRepairShop In 1999, I was living in southern England. Three nights a week, there was a television show on called “The 11 O’Clock Show.” It struck me very much like a British version of “The Daily Show.” It featured a collection of then-unknown British comedic talent, such as Ricky Gervais, who would go on to revolutionize British comedy with shows like “The Office,” “Extras,” and “After Life.” It also featured a young Sacha Baron Cohen. His character, Ali G, was the “voice of da yoof” correspondent on the show.…

I can’t help but think…

Read MoreBy Destro Designs – Viper Den Studios This last week I saw so much ’80s toy content in my timeline that I couldn’t help but think we had it so, so good. People have been saying it for years, and to a certain extent that’s exactly why Stranger Things became such a phenomenon. The show absolutely nailed what it felt like to grow up in the 1980s. Honestly, the early ’90s were just an extension of the ’80s—with worse clothes and, largely, worse music. The thing that really got me…
Read MoreThere are some crossovers that feel like marketing ideas, and then there are the ones that make you stop and think, “Wait… why didn’t this happen years ago?” That’s exactly how I felt when the new Lara Croft G.I. Joe Classified Series figure was revealed. The more I thought about it, the more it made perfect sense. Growing up, G.I. Joe was never just about military action. Sure, there were tanks, helicopters, and Cobra’s endless schemes for world domination, but the franchise also thrived on mystery. Ancient temples, hidden civilizations,…

Read MoreFor 86 incredible years, Bugs Bunny has remained one of the most recognizable and beloved animated characters ever created. Since making his official debut on July 27, 1940, the wisecracking rabbit with the Brooklyn accent has entertained generations with his unmatched wit, fearless confidence, and legendary ability to outsmart anyone foolish enough to challenge him. Whether facing hunters, bullies, or the occasional opera-singing rival, Bugs always proved that brains could beat brawn with a simple grin and an unforgettable, “Eh… What’s up, Doc?” While Bugs Bunny has starred in countless…
