Review: 2004 Force Recon Marine

So what am I doing posting a review of a 8 year old toy? Because it's frikkin' cool, that's why!


Hasbro was really cranking out some seriously awesome 1/6th scale GI Joe figures back in the early 2000's. The Force Recon Marine is no exception. This guy came equipped with some decent accessories and an amazing special feature that very few other 1/6th scale Joe's had.

So this blog stinks right now...

Yeah, this blog stinks right now.


I am too engrossed in the little Joes right now. With GI Joe:Retaliation just a couple months away, I'm going to be full-on bat-shit crazy about the little Joes for the foreseeable future.


But the big guys are so damn cool! 


Is it a good thing or a bad thing that Hasbro isn't releasing 12" Retaliation figures? Good - because I can't afford both scales. Bad - because I was hoping to add the Rock and Bruce Willis to my big Joe collection. Oh well, stop whining, I guess.


I do have an idea for an update to this blog. It will take time, but I'm going to work on it, slowly, but surely. 


I have this other website - http://bellsouthpwp.net/g/i/gitomandlisa/ - yeah, how original, i don't even have a decent name for it! This was one of the first places that I really put in some effort to showcasing my 1/6th scale G.I. Joe figures. It's really not that bad of a site, but the problem is that I don't know if I can still access it! Damn it! it has been so long since I have updated it!


So I'm thinking about recreating it here - to some degree. There are some recent updates to Blogger that may make it possible to showcase the individual file-card type pages that I had created back on http://bellsouthpwp.net/g/i/gitomandlisa/


At least I hope so. We'll see. 


So here goes another goal - let's see how long it will take to make it a reality!

Pathetic...

I have abandoned my 12" Joes for those little 3 3/4" "toys".

Shameful...

Oh well...

I'll try to get this lame-ness updated...

Another failed resolution?

Most of my Big Dudes

Group shot of most of my big Joes. Probably around a dozen that wouldn't fit on the display. I guess I have a few...

Rock & Roll

Rock & Roll rescued from HOF non-articulated hell! His original head sculpt re-mounted on a modern Hasbro muscle body. I should try to get him some heavier fire power, but the M-249 SAW will work for now!
