You don’t often see customized versions of Dragon Man, but this week I saw two. Each uses the original figure with customized wings. One has also been given an improved paint job.

Our pal at Marvel, Jesse Falcon, shared the good news that Marvel Super Heroes: What The–?! has a new home page at Marvel.com. With Marvel’s website, it’s been easy to miss when each new episode of MSHWT was posted. Now there’s one spot to find them all.
Can you believe there’s been over 40 episodes made in the past four years?

Heads up – the Marvel Legends Thunderbolts 5-pack exclusive is back in stock at HTS. No idea how much inventory they’ve got, so if you are still looking to pick up this set at non-inflated prices, now’s the time.
Regular price is $89.99, but the Thunderbolts set on eBay is going for upwards of $130, with individual figures starting at $25 and up.
I’m not a good G.I. JOE fan. When I was a kid, I had a lot of the original 3.75-inch Joes from the mid-80s. I watched the cartoon whenever I could, and I’d wage a lot of war against Cobra on the floor of my bedroom. But as an adult collector, I don’t buy a lot of G.I. JOEs anymore. And although the Hasbro brand has seen some resurgence after a lackluster first live action movie outing with a better received sequel in G.I. JOE: Retaliation, that hasn’t exactly translated into better sales in the toy aisles to kids and their moms either. With the brand losing shelf space at retail, it’s looking rather bleak for the toy line for 2014.
A couple years ago, I picked up a bootleg Snake Eyes in the 6-inch scale. I don’t know the origin of the toy, but it holds together like something made in a factory. It’s got the articulation setup of the 25th Anniversary Joes. And it’s got almost everything that I’d want to see in a G.I. JOE toy line for the adult me.
That leads me to my topic today – could Hasbro breathe life into G.I. JOE with a new six-inch action figure line?
