Minor Custom: 25th Anniversary Ripcord

Ripcord has been one of my favourite Joes of all time. He was all green, had a helmet with a facemask and hose. Best of all, he carried a real battle rifle, the FAL. In the comics, it had a night scope and it was awesome!

Yes, he was impulsive in ejecting from a perfectly good airplane but he was one of the few Joes who fought it out 1-on-1 with Zartan! He may have lost but he impersonated the impersonator, himself!

Now, he is given the 25th Anniversary treatment. I actually bought 5 of these!

New STuff has Arrived!

Finally!
My shipment has come to port. Excessive ? Maybe. Some are orders from a buyer or two but most is mine.
I am looking forward to the Defense of Cobra Island sets. My Cobra staffing problems are solved!

As for the Assault on Cobra Island set, I have a use for the extras. I am conceptualising new characters for my own line using G.I. Joe parts. Something I have always wanted to do I mentioned earlier.

25th Anniversary Doc : Rescued and Bored

Last year, I went through the trouble of saving up stickers and arranging shipping for rescuing the 25th Anniversary Doc action figure. G.I. Joe’s only full-fledged Doctor.
Previously, I featured the 2 Docs I finally “liberated”.
All was well.

Now, Guess what I stumbled into ?
More Docs!

Apparently, Cobra has cloned Doc and found no more use for him and is practically giving him away!

More Rise of Cobra Toys

Just a quick one.
I arrived early at a meeting and had time to dash to the local Toy Store.

By chance, I picked up a rare Wraith at SRP ($7.60).
By some weird circumstance, I was offered a chance to go through undisplayed inventory and scored 3 x Pit Commandos, 2 x Stormshadow unmasked, and a Paris Pursuit Snake Eyes with Timber.

Being the OCD Information Security Privacy head Honcho, I had to run equally fast to the nearest office supply shop to get one manila envelope that fits all these to make it look like crime scene evidence to pass physical security checks and avoid those weird looks.

Mission Accomplished!

G.I. Joe : Rise of Cobra at Retail / Vehicle Parade Review

G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra toys have finally been released at Retail!
…and I do not mean the special expensive retail shops
