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 Ancient Bowels of my Photobucket: The Third Part

Hey look, it's ninjas fighting on bread!  Never thought you'd see that before, eh?  EH?

Alright seriously: There were many things to do this week, and all my time for pics was used for other things, so here we are again!  I think I've run my photobucket dry, so this may be the final ANCIENT BOWELS OF MY PHOTOBUCKEEEET!

Schwag Brag Super: Excitement! There are How Many Toys?!

It's time for another list of things!  Why?  Because I didn't prepare anything else!

So come on in and set down with a bowl of minestrone a la toys!

Duty Call: Okay So I've Been Buying A Lot of Minifigures Lately

When I bought the previous Call of Duty set, it was the only game in town.  Then the figure packs showed up!  I had to try one.  Specifically: I had to try the one that has a figure that looked a lot like v1 Snake Eyes in it.

Alright, One More Mega Bloks Thing: CoD Attack Drone

It was pointed out to me that these little guys gots MORE articulation than normal Mega Bloks minfigures, so I snabbed a box to check it on out.  Why not read further to see if you should also snab one for your own enfingered hands?  Also-also: Maybe I'm incapable of just simply reviewing a toy?

Cityville Invasion: Apps All Up In Ma Toys!

So Hasbro creates their own Lego and calls it Kre-O.  You with me?  Well they made the coolest little poseable figures and knew they would be a hit, so they blind bagged those suckers and sold 'em like hotcakes.  However, we know how Kre-O works!  It's pretty much like Lego, except with classic Hasbro properties like Transformers and G.I. Joe.  Are there any other directions to go in?  A way to do their own Kre-O thing without a standard property we all know and love?  Something....new?

Shaken by the Shockwaves from the Shocking Shockwave Show (Part 1)

Shockwaveshockwaveshockwave...ugh.  The word lost meaning.  "Shock" doesn't even look like it's spelled right anymore.  So hey; you wana see how many versions of Shockwave I've managed to shovel into my shtunning shpile of trashformer shoup?  SHHHHHHH

Blind Bagged: Transformers Kreon Micro-Changers

If you're unfamiliar with Kre-O; they're Hasbro's answer to Lego.  The bricks work the same and are interchangeable with most Lego or Mega Bloks bricks.  The major thing that separates the various building toys, however, is the little figures they package with them!
