The customizability of the valaverse Action Force figures is really spectacular. They’re easy to disassemble, their parts are all compatible, and their noggins are both the size/scale and neck construction of a large number of Marvel Legends. Can’t say any of that about most other companies. And I can’t wait forever for Hasbro to dribble…

Arise, Serpentor! Arise!
G.I.Joe Classified figures evoke the best of 80’s nostalgia from me, and when new figures start showing up, I start getting visions of the setups I might have made (or wished I could make) as a kid back in the day. Sometimes on a lazy, rainy saturday, you just feel compelled to see if you…
GI Joe 1/12 MASS Device
The pictures tell the story, but if you want to know how I got here… keep scrolling 😉 One day I was perusing Aliexpress, looking for 1/12 accessories to enhance any dio scenes I might be making for Joe, Marvel Legends, etc, and I ran across some 1/12-scale bell jars. I immediately thought that they…
Snow Inspiration
It seems like we don’t get as much snow around here as we used to, so when a random March weather system brings you a surprise 4-inches, you have to take advantage. The biggest question was what to photograph. I decided that it would be impossible to resist taking some Star Wars pics in a…
Classified Customs
While the GIJoe Classified line is slowly finding its footing, many collectors still wish it were a little less “reimagined” and a little more reminiscent of the classic 80’s figures we all grew up with. I must admit that the designers have made strides in this direction with each passing wave, but we’re not quite…

Mega Thundarr & Conan
Looking at all of our MOTU Mega figures, it dawned on me that custom figures of Thundarr and Conan, the greatest Barbarians of the 70’s and 80’s, wouldn’t be a big leap at all. And of course, if you make Thundarr, you have to include his trusty companions Princess Ariel and Ookla the Mok. I…
GLITCHES #01
We went on vacation and decided to have a little fun playing with a new camera setup… Hopefully this will be the first of many “glitches”.
GI Joe Classified: Firefly
GI Joe Classified is a line that elicits a lot of love and hate from collectors. Many (myself included) have been clamoring for 6″ scale Joes for several years, and when they were announced, enthusiasm was through the roof. In reality it’s been a mixed bag. The sculpts have been excellent, while the decos have…
