What do you know about The Corps!


Hello!  Been awhile.....like, since October.  We'll cover that later.  For now: If you were a G.I. Joe fan, there's a good chance you heard of The Corps! toyline of budget military dudes (and way, waaaay beyond military).  I you ever wanted to know more (like about the Space Cowboys and the amazing Steve Wyoming) then head over the The Dragon Fortress and read his awesome editorial about the line.  There's all sorts of special guests, including yours truly!  You won't want to miss it, and if you do...well I mean, it's the internet. Just read it when you've got time, man.  It's not going anywhere.

Let's Talk about Microman: A Guest Post by the man behind The Assortment



Welcome to the first guest post on Toys and Tomfoolery, from a place you should totally check out: The Assortment!  Today he'll be covering Microman, specifically the early 2000's Microforce line.  It still stands the test of time today, but I've never had a chance to go over what few I have.  Now, let's learn a little about Microman, shall we?

Metroid Other M: Samus Aran (Figma)


Just in case you're not aware: A new Metroid game was just released!  It's a remake of the old Gameboy game, Metroid II: The Return of Samus, though they're changing it up a bit and calling it Metroid: Samus Returns (I'm sure you can handle the massive name change). In the sprit of my ridiculous, dog-like excitement, I'm finally going to review the Figma Samus.  Mission start!

Mega Construx Heroes: He-Man and Skeletor



Hey, time for posts to resume!  Sort of!  I still don't have the time and space to do my usual long, joke-filled posts, but my Instagram has been going strong (since it's much easier to snap a picture at one point in the day, clean up the ugly phone pics with the editing tools, and post them when I get a chance throughout the day, without having to be at a computer).  With that in mind, I figure I should use what I got and take this chance to say more about recent things I've been buying.

Alexx Shorts: Kre-O G.I. Joe Blind Bags and Serpent Armor Strike (2/21/13)


Well, this is it: I've finally decided to start reposting my old "Alexx Shorts" G.I. Joe reviews.  They're the reviews that lead to what eventually became this blog!  I'll be posting them in straight copy-and-paste format, separating them with bold dotted lines so you know where they begin and end, and then I'll post some final thoughts on what I think of the figure currently.

For those unfamiliar: I used to take random pictures here and there, but by the time the Rise of Cobra toys came out, I was getting annoying with how much people had been bashing the figures which were clearly better than the previous 25th Anniversary offerings.  I set out to show people how awesome they were, and things went from there, forming into "Alexx Shorts", named so because I thought I was going to keep to a short format with a few pictures.  I did not do that.

The Second Post About Being Pissed at Photobucket

There was a thing, a good while ago, where Photobucket tried some "Load more" crap with their site, making it impossible for me to get to older pictures.  I made a post, things were annoying for awhile, and they eventually fixed it and all was well.

All is no longer well.

I guess Photobucket can no longer allow people to post pictures wherever they like - hotlinking - which is a word I haven't heard since I had dial-up internet.  Maybe I'm just clueless.  Maybe this is serious.  Maybe it's something they can't do without charging for it.  Maybe they're not screwing around with us.

Doesn't matter.  Here's the deal: I can't do what I want with my pictures unless I shell out 400 dollars a year. I wasn't told about this.  No email.  I had to look online to see all the outrage.  I guess Photobucket left a little post on their own blog, but just went ahead with the plan and screwed us all. So far my pictures are showing up here and there, but not all of them.  I don't know if they'll all disappear or if this will clear up.  It would have been nice if Photobucket had given me a warning before ruining everything I've worked on, but...here we are.

So!  Where are we?  Well, considering my glut of old Joe reviews, it's no secret that I've had a harder time keeping this going since my boy was born.  I'd be lying if I said that was the only problem.  I've got a MAJOR cleaning project in my toyroom and basement, before I can get back to regular posts.  So there's that hanging over my head.  Now we've got this, as well!  If Photobucket doesn't get pressured back to their old model (and like I said: I am clueless.  Maybe they're legit) then I have to move somewhere else.  Since nearly all my picture links are broken, that means I have to read the file names, line then up with the pictures on my computer, upload them wherever I decide to go, and reload everything all over again (hopefully in the right order).  Or, I suppose I could just upload them directly to blogger, I dunno.

I already had a project on my hands with cleaning...so now we have yet another project of re-picturing the WHOLE BLOG.  I don't think I need to say that this kinda kills the blog for the time being.

The only good news I can give you, is that my Instagram is still going strong (and over 1000 followers, somehow).  I have been doing some minor focuses (like a recent MotUC focus), but now that the blog is dead in the water, I may try to do some short insta-reviews. They'll be more to-the-point and lacking in my little comics, but at least you'll get some toy info and my special brand of incessant rambling in the comment part.

Thanks for sticking around as long as you have, thanks for reading, thanks for laughing (at or with, I don't care), and thanks for giving me my little section of the internet.  I'm gona keep going so long as my toy interest thrives, so this isn't an ending, just a State of the Blog address.  If the pictures stay mostly dead, then you know I've got a lot of work ahead of me.  If they come back all at once, then yay! Regular work continues.  Only time will tell.

Well, this is it: I've finally decided to start reposting my old "Alexx Shorts" G.I. Joe reviews.  They're the reviews that lead to what eventually became this blog!  I'll be posting them in straight copy-and-paste format, separating them with bold dotted lines so you know where they begin and end, and then I'll post some final thoughts on what I think of the figure currently.

For those unfamiliar: I used to take random pictures here and there, but by the time the Rise of Cobra toys came out, I was getting annoying with how much people had been bashing the figures which were clearly better than the previous 25th Anniversary offerings.  I set out to show people how awesome they were, and things went from there, forming into "Alexx Shorts", named so because I thought I was going to keep to a short format with a few pictures.  I did not do that.
