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.

Schwagmas Schtuff

It's time!  Time to wonder why someone my age is still getting THIS many toys for Christmas.  Seriously though: are you still wondering after having seen the contents of this blog?

It's happening again!  If you're unfamiliar with all of this, then simply click on the Blacklight Special tag and take a look at previous installments. 

Schwag Brag of Mystery: Gravity Falls toys, Dinosaurs, And July!

A long overdue Schwag Brag!  As you may well know (from scrolling down) I didn't do ANYTHING from the end of June, through all of July, and then halfway into August!  That's why this Schwag Brag is gona be so big.  Siddown, shaddap, and take a look!

Stalling for Time

Hey, folks!  This weekend I went to Acen (Anime Central); a convention near Chicago.  I didn't do aaaaanything in terms of preparing a post, so here's some random pictures from my photobucket until I'm done preparing pics of all the junk I bought at the convention.

Poses and Piles

The planned post for this week is running a little longer than expected, so here's some pics around the house!  This is all the junk I have taking up every flat surface I can find (but not pictures of all of it, because that's only privy to my friends that have to wade through it when they come over).

Octobersbest: WE ALL GLOW DOWN HERE

So here we are: few days before Halloween!  What's more October than Halloween itself?  How about GLOW IN THE DARK STUFF?!  Eh??  October?  Glowing stuff?  Make sense?  Yeah?

Just get in here.

Schwag Brag: Batmins, Spittermin, Blind Bagged Tenkai, and Others

IT'SH DA SCHWAAAG BRAAAG!  Play on swag bag.  Well, "schwag" isn't playing on anything, I just like how it sounds.  Anyway, I figure I can take up space by telling you what I've bought recently.  That way I have an easy post and a way for you to tell me what you want covered!  Also: LOOK I HAVE THINGS.

Christmas Swag and Beyond

I wasn't really planning on doing this, but I don't think I'll have the 2002 Grayskull pics done when I wanted to, so here's what I got for Christmas, as well as some more junk I got around and after Christmas.

Merry Christmas You Filthy Animals

Aw, come back!  I didn't mean it!  You can't help being filthy, it's not your fault!

Tenkai Knights: Bricks Are Fun

We all know Bricks are Heavy (a great man named Arthur taught me that) but are they...fun?  Well that all depends on whether or not said bricks turn into robots.

Uh...these ones do.  Yeah.

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?

Halo Cyclops Mechs: If it Ain't Lego, it's MEGA BLOKS.

So it's like this: Sometimes I hear about how any building block toy that isn't Lego are just cheap rip-offs.  Well that just ain't true, in fact--- 

---what, you already knew about Mega Bloks?  Whadoya want, a medal? 

Alright alright!  Just click below and read about some cool mini mechs.

RRRICK SUPERRR BRRREAKERRR!!

Lego used to do this Hero Factory thing where you could design your own guy.  There were limits on plastic colors and parts, but there were more than enough to make quite a few different and unique combinations.  I knew I had to try it out at least once.  I kinda wanted a few more, but I wasn't able to make any more before they ended the program.  This is my guy: Rick Super Breaker.
