Read MoreIf you grew up in the late 1970s or 1980s, there is a very good chance Run Yourself Ragged looked less like a “board game” and more like a tiny plastic obstacle course designed by a cheerful mad scientist. Released by Tomy in 1979, the game challenged players to guide a steel ball through a sequence of moving hazards using knobs, levers, and buttons. It was mechanical, frantic, and just difficult enough to make kids mutter things their parents probably did not approve of. Outside the U.S., the toy became…

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.

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…
