Hasbro has released the first look at the new GI-JOE cartoon. The HUB Network website also has the following description:
Branded as renegades for crimes they did not commit, a heroic group of young G.I.s is forced to “turn fugitive” as they battle to clear their names, and expose the evil that is COBRA Industries — a seemingly benevolent mega-corporation covertly controlled by a rogues gallery intent on creating a New World Order.
Apparently the original story of who GI-Joe is wasn’t good enough and now they just substituted it with the A-Team.
This past weekend I attended the Steel City Con (aka Pittsburgh Toy Show). My toy budget has been tight lately, so I thought I would conduct an experiment. With only seven dollars in my pocket, I was curious what kind of toys I could buy for a dollar each. I was shocked at some of the deals that I was able to get for a dollar. Seven dollars less and I can list the Essential Seven Toy Show Dollar Items:
The other day I hit Target and discovered that the Indiana Jones figures were on clearance for $1.23 each. I was hoping to find a Sallah, Young Indy, or even a “German Soldier.” Sadly, all they had were about fifty Mutt Williams action figures. So why aren’t people buying Mutt? It’s because nobody knows what to do with him. I decided to come up with some suggestions on what to do with a Mutt Williams Action Figure.
