Read MoreStory by Destro Designs / Viper Den Studios Part 1 – Epic Entrance Song Battle Right off the rip, the trombone comes blasting in, with the off beat, ear blaring sound that goes right to my heavy metal roots. Out of nowhere, a shooting star rolls through the sky in a serpentine movement and blasts into the Gi Joe sign with explosive fireworks as the drummer gets wicked.

Read MoreFor new Masters of the Universe fans, Evil-Lyn is one of the most important villains in the franchise. While Skeletor is the loud, power-hungry face of evil on Eternia, Evil-Lyn is often the sharp mind standing beside him. She is far more than just a henchwoman.

Evil-Lyn first appeared in the classic 1980s Masters of the Universe toy line and quickly became a standout…

Read MoreStory by Destro Designs / Viper Den Studios As a Kid, arguably the defining trait of a 3¾ Gi Joe figure, was, all that detail. Other figures didn’t have this level awesomeness molded into them. He Man was cool because it was what we had, but not very detailed, Star Wars was the same 3¾ Scale but they were largely bland in my memory, I just wanted them Joes. Whether it was the detail on that Destro or how cool Snake Eyes looked, I was, right off the bat, hooked…

Read MoreBefore he was the coolly logical Mr. Spock, Leonard Nimoy was a working-class kid from Boston with big ambitions and no guaranteed path to stardom. Born in 1931 to immigrant parents, Nimoy grew up in a modest neighborhood and learned early that success would require grit, discipline, and patience. His parents had come from what is now Ukraine, and that immigrant family background shaped his outlook. He understood hard work long before he understood fame. Nimoy got interested in acting as a child and began performing in local theater productions…
