GI Joe Rise of Cobra collection
dana.raye.smith:
The old grey cammo Firefly used to be one of my favorite GI Joe toys figure wise. solid top ten pick from the original SA figures.
I used to get so mad when the" inevitable" happened and the thumb broke off of one then both hands.
Lots of ninja fights and lots of people losing digits and other body parts.
But they were the best for customising and bodypart swaps since they were all pretty much made the same back in the 80'sand up to the 90's.
If only I had a small percentage of all my past toys and collectibles now.....
They sure are all nice looking and i want to see the movie no matter how bad it is.
Cant be any worse than "Titanic"...
Clonehead:
Yep, firefly was one of my old favorites, also. Him and Storm Shadow. You are not the only one who is missing your old toys. Star Wars, GI Joes, and Micronauts. Man, I had a bunch of em.
dana.raye.smith:
I had so many ninjas and snake-eyes and fireflys and vipers and just enormous army builder stuff when i was a kid and most from local yard sales and then frankenstein together better stuff or fix a fig back to original using 2 jacked up figs...
or blow them up with firecrackers or bottlerockets or roman candles. if you put enough large bottle rockets you could make the old joe and cobra planes like the rattler and skystriker actually launch off of a roof and fly for a while....
it either went to pieces upon landing or had outrageous missile lock and explosion before hitting the ground.
and the Wonderbread bag parachutes were soo coool tooo.
the wife wont let us on the roof any more.
masterfett:
That Ice-Viper has a nice jacket for a custom I have in mind may have to get him after all, and talk about reusing old accessories that sled packed with him originally came with the Cobra WOLF back in 1987! ::)

This one is for the Joe guys out there,
I am going to write a little review of the new Firefly and Snakeeyes figures that I bought the other day.
First up, the pursuit snake eyes comes with a removable sleeveless trenchcoat, a samauri type sward and sheath that pegs into his back "rather loosely", a combat knife, an automatic rifle, a figure stand, a movable eye visor, a glock looking pistol, and, of course, his trusty dog.
Detail onthe figure looks good but this one isnt my favorite, of special note, the articulation is superarty except for his legs which have no side to side pivot except at the ankles. The knees are however, double jointed above and below the knee which makes this figure that much more posable.
